Tarantul Class Corvette

3D Model

The Soviet designation Project 1241 Molniya (Russian: Молния, lit. ‘Lightning’) 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).
