Besides, the boats have a 100-mm artillery gun A-190 and small-caliber anti-aircraft artillery complex AK-630-2 Duet. The warships also have 3N-47 Gibka missile launchers. The boat has a length of 75 meters, displacement - 949 tons, speed -25 knots. Autonomous navigation is ten days and the distance is up to 2.5 thousand miles. The crew comprises 52 men.
