Armament

The project 1241.2 "Molnija-2" (Russian: "Молния-2"), designated by NATO as the Pauk class , is a class of small anti-submarine corvettes developed in the Soviet Union . In addition to being used in the Soviet and Russian navies, the ships were exported to several friendly states.

In Russia, they are classified as Small Anti-Submarine Ships ( Russian МПК Малые противолодочные корабли ) or Border Patrol Vessels ( Russian ПСКР Пограничные сторожевые корабликорабливолодочные корабли ).

history

The ships of Project 1241.2 were developed at the same time as Project 1241.1 (NATO: Tarantul class) and have the same hull. Some sources say that the order to develop this class was given by the border troops of the USSR , who needed a modern patrol boat. Accordingly, 16 ships were classified as "small anti-submarine ships" and some were exported, while 21 ships were delivered to the border troops as border patrol ships. Three of them were later given to Ukraine.

drive

In contrast to project 1241.1, two diesel engines of the type M-517 and M-507 with 10,000 HP each were installed, which drive two screws. The range is 2000  nautical miles at 20  kn or up to 3000 nm at a speed of 12 kn. The sea endurance is ten days.

Armament

The armament consists of:

electronics

Different radar systems were installed; Below is a list of the NATO names of the devices:

  • Airspace and surface radar “Peel Cone” or “Positive-E” in the E / F band
  • Surface radar "Kivach", "Pechora", "Spin Trough" or "SRN 207" in the I-band
  • Fire control radar "Bass Tilt" in the H / I band

A fuselage-mounted MGK-345 “Bronza” sonar ( Russian for “bronze”) and a high-frequency tow sonar are available.

Pauk II class

Modified ships were built for export, which were given the NATO designation "Pauk II". The Russian name is "Project 1241PE". The most noticeable change is the installation of two double torpedo tubes instead of the four individual ones. Some ships were further modified. For example, the Cuban Navy ship 321 does not have torpedo tubes, but has two double-barreled 25 mm guns.
