Service history
On August 12, 2016, together with the ZARECHNY and MORSHANSK missile ships, she took part in exercises with artillery firing (from 76- and 30-mm artillery mounts) at targets simulating combat ships and air attack weapons of a conventional enemy, and also performed electronic missile launches at targets imitating a detachment of imaginary enemy ships.

In September 2016, as part of a unit of the Baltic fleet at sea, the crew of the MRK GEYZER successfully fired a Malachite cruise missile at a naval target imitating a simulated enemy ship. According to objective control data, the launched cruise missile successfully hit the designated target at a distance of over 50 kilometers.
Then she launched a target missile for the testing of the SKR ADMIRAL MAKAROV.
