JSC Arsenal intended to produce a 100-mm gun mount A190-01 for the corvette, and late in 2012 the ship moved to Baltiysk acceptance base for the second phase of sea trials.

[citation needed] In April 2017, Boikiy and sister Soobrazitelnyy were escorted through the English Channel by HMS Sutherland.

[5] On 20 March 2021, Boikiy, accompanied by LSTs Korolyov, Minsk and Kaliningrad transited the English Channel unannounced.

Since the mission took place soon after the exercise of the USS Dwight D. Eisenhower and Tonnerre with the Greek Navy, the deployment could have been meant to relieve the besieged Black Sea Fleet in drills.
