Specifications

{{Main|Nanuchka-class corvette}}

Small missile ships of the Project 1234 (NATO classification Nanuchka-class) corvette is a series of Soviet small missile ships (MRK) of the third rank built at shipyards of the USSR from 1967 to 1992.{{Cite book|last1=Kostrichenko|first1=V. V.|title=Пистолет у виска империализма|last2=Kuzmichev|first2=V. E.|pages=2}}

The type consists of three series of subprojects:

  • Project 1234, NATO code Nanuchka I
  • Project 1234E, NATO code Nanuchka II
  • Project 1234.1, NATO code Nanuchka III
  • Project 1234.7, NATO code Nanuchka IV

By the name of the project code, the ships received the nickname gadflies in the navy. IRAs of Project 1234 were supplied to the Navy of four countries of the world: the USSR, Algeria, Libya and India. Libyan ones were destroyed during the NATO military operation in the summer of 2011; Indian ships of this project were withdrawn from the Indian Navy in 1999-2004.

The ships of the project were actively operated in all four fleets of the Soviet Navy and during the 1970-1980s carried out combat services in the World Ocean. They left a noticeable mark on the history of Soviet shipbuilding and are currently being gradually withdrawn from the combat strength of the Russian fleet. So, if at the beginning of 2001 in the Russian Navy there were 2 ships of project 1234 and 18 ships of Project 1234.1,{{Cite book|last=Yu.V.|first=Apalkov|title=Корабли ВМФ СССР. Справочник|publisher=Галея Принт|year=2004|isbn=5-8172-0087-2|pages=11}} then by 2006 all ships of project 1234 were withdrawn from the Navy and only 12 ships of the project remained in Project 1234.1 and 1 ship of Project 1234.7.{{Cite web|title=Атрина|url=http://www.atrinaflot.narod.ru/3_cutters/01_mrk_1234/1_12341.htm|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20081005212732/http://www.atrinaflot.narod.ru/3_cutters/01_mrk_1234/1_12341.htm|archive-date=2008-10-05|url-status=live|access-date=2021-09-20|website=www.webcitation.org}}{{Cite web|date=2012-03-13|title=Сайт «АТРИНА» • Малый ракетный корабль пр.12347; Nanuchka-IV class|url=http://www.atrinaflot.narod.ru/3_cutters/01_mrk_1234/1_12347.htm|access-date=2021-09-20|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120313140521/http://www.atrinaflot.narod.ru/3_cutters/01_mrk_1234/1_12347.htm|archive-date=13 March 2012}}
