The Sonya class, Soviet designation Project 1265 Yakhont, are a group of minesweepers built for the Soviet Navy and Soviet allies between 1971 and 1991.
Design
The Sonya-class ships are wooden hulled coastal minehunters, built as successors to the {{sclass2|Vanya|minesweeper|4}} with new sweeps and more effective sonar. A central safe explosion proof area is fitted and all key systems can be remote controlled from there.
Operators
A total of 72 ships were built by Uliis yard in the Vladivostok and Avangard yards in Petrozavodsk between 1971 and 1991. One ship, BT-730, was lost in an accident in 1985. Another unit collided with a Swedish surveillance ship {{HSwMS|Orion|A201|6}} east of Gotland in the Baltic Sea in November 1985.{{cite web |url=http://www.navycollection.narod.ru/ships/Russia/Mine_ships/BTSH_Proect_1265/history1.html |title=Катастрофа базового тральщика БТ-730 в бухте Цыпнаволок 27.11.1985г |trans-title=Accident of the base minesweeper BT-730 in Tsypnavolok Bay on 27 November 1985 |website=Navycollection.narod.ru |language=ru |access-date=2011-12-29 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120219013011/http://www.navycollection.narod.ru/ships/Russia/Mine_ships/BTSH_Proect_1265/history1.html |archive-date=2012-02-19}}
