molnya (pauk i) with 4 single 406mm tt, 2 rbu 1200 uragan a/s mor, 1 76mm gun

The Project 1241P Pauk-class is a Soviet-designed anti-submarine warfare patrol boat, derived from the Molniya-class missile boat hull. It is equipped for coastal defense, ASW, and escort missions, typically featuring a 76mm gun, anti-submarine rocket launchers, and torpedo tubes.

Designed by the Almaz Central Marine Design Bureau in the late 1970s, the Project 12412 (NATO: Pauk-class) was developed to replace the aging Project 204 ASW corvettes and secure the Soviet Union's littoral waters against modern diesel-electric submarines. The lead vessel of the class entered service with the Soviet Navy in 1980, with subsequent units also being widely distributed to the KGB Maritime Border Guard. Throughout the late Cold War, these patrol craft conducted extensive border security and anti-submarine patrols in the Baltic, Black, and Pacific seas, and several were exported to allied nations such as India, Bulgaria, and Cuba. While the majority of the fleet was retired following the collapse of the Soviet Union, a small number of modernized units continue to serve with the Russian Coast Guard and foreign operators today.
