Project 1241RE (Tarantul I)

The Tarantul-class corvette, Soviet designation Project 1241 Molniya are a class of Russian missile corvettes (large missile cutters in Soviet classification). They have the NATO reporting name Tarantul (not to be confused with the Stenka-class patrol boat, whose official Soviet name is also Project 205P Tarantul). These ships were designed to replace the Project 205M Tsunami missile cutter (NATO: Osa-class missile boat). A new updated variant of the class (Project 12418) was projected to start entering service in 2025.
