Admiral Lazarev (Project 79), Russian Bol'shoy Raketny Korabl' laid down 1946
The two ships of the Admiral Lazarev class were designed to deploy one of the first operational ship-launched surface-to-air missiles, jointly developed by France and Russia. This system was designated "Trident" by the French and "Systema-10" in Russian, and fired 4K1 "Amur" rockets from a pair of launchers on the ship's stern. In most respects, these ships were a follow-on to the 'torpedo cruisers' (torpeda kreysera) which had intrigued Russian warship designers for decades. Sometimes designated 'air defense destroyers' or 'light antiaircraft cruisers' by the foreign press, the Russian Navy classified them as bol'shoy raketny korabl' or 'large rocket ships'. The ships were well-regarded for their good looks and their excellent electronics fit, which included a battle room designed to coordinate fleet air defenses.

Notes: Systema-10 (4K1) Amur
The "Amur" is a prototype guided surface-to-air rocket, designed to defend the fleet against attack aircraft armed with stand-off radio-controlled glide bombs. The guidance system was developed by Liore et Olivier in France under the code-name "Trident", in cooperation with the Marine Nationale and VMF Rossii (Russian Navy) for use against aircraft beyond the range of traditional anti-aircraft guns.

Although the French took the lead in development, they never deployed the system at sea, only conducting land-based tests; however, a number of the rockets were converted for sounding and atmospheric purposes. The Russian Federation Navy deployed it for experimental purposes on the experimental vessel Zenit and in regular operation on the two Admiral Lazarev-class large rocket ships. The Zenit, which was used for experimentation purposes only, carried a single four-rail launcher, while the Admiral Lazarev class carried two six-rail launchers in C and D positions.

Once targets were picked up by the main air-search radar, the launching ship would target the inbound bombers with the NR-222 fire control radar and launch multiple Amur rockets. After making an initial course correction using radio command guidance, the sensors in the Amur's onboard guidance detected the reflection of the NR-222 radar off the target, and steered the rocket towards the target aircraft, where a proximity fuse detonated the 50kg warhead.

The rockets themselves performed adequately, but an inadequate guidance system resulted in Amur's failure. The Amur's onboard guidance system could only reliably pick up targets at five kilometers or less, and had very narrow field of view. Combined with the short range of the initial radio command guidance, this left a gap where the rockets were simply flying under no guidance whatsoever. If the bombers changed course immediately after the missile launch, then chances of a successful hit dropped to nearly nil. Since the NR-222 radar painted a narrow cone rather than a specific target, the rockets could also be decoyed easily by reflective chaff, or confused by multiple returns from aircraft flying in formation. Finally, since there was only one NR-222 radar aboard the ship, only one target could be engaged at any given time.

While the missiles had been designed for use against aircraft, it transpired that they could be used more successfully against surface vessels such as motor torpedo boats, so long as the target was not below the radar's horizon. The rocket's fifty kilogram warhead meant that its usefulness was largely limited to engaging small craft, however. Because of the slower speed and greater size of most surface targets, the missile's chances of successful interception were substantially higher.

Initial versions of the Amur used a quartet of solid-fuel rocket boosters and a French-designed ramjet engine which was fired up in flight. In July 1946, however, the main ramjet engine was dropped in favor of a solid-fuel rocket, designed by the Russians, which was less of a maintenance issue.
