Ladny is a Krivak-class missile frigate of the Russian Navy. She served with the predecessor service, the Soviet Navy.

The ship 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] In 1991 after the collapse of the Soviet Union the frigate became a part of the Russian Navy. As of 2012 the frigate is active with the Russian Black Sea Fleet.[2]

In July 2015 the Ladny took part in the Navy Day parade in Sevastopol. While demonstrating its firepower, an SS-N-14 missile misfired and spiralled out of control before landing harmlessly in the sea.[3]
