Ladny was ordered by the Soviet Union in 1978 and was laid down in May 1979. The ship was commissioned in the Soviet Black Sea Fleet in 1981.[1] After the collapse of the Soviet Union in December 1991 the frigate became a part of the Russian Navy. As of 2015 the frigate was active with the Russian Black Sea Fleet.[2]

In July 2015 Ladny took part in Navy Day celebrations in Sevastopol. While Ladny was demonstrating her firepower, one of her SS-N-14 missiles misfired, damaging its launcher, and spiralled out of control before landing harmlessly in the sea.[3]
