SpecificationsSmall 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.[1] The type consists of three series of subprojects:
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Libyan ones were destroyed during the NATO military operation in the summer of 2011; Indian ships of this project were withdrawn from the Indian Navy in 1999-2004.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 They left a noticeable mark on the history of Soviet shipbuilding and are currently being gradually withdrawn from the combat strength of the Russian fleet.[1] So, if at the beginning of 2001 in the Russian Navy there were 2 ships of project 1234 and 18 ships of Project 1234.1,[2] then by 2006 all ships of project 1234 were withdrawn from the Navy and only 12 ships of the project remained in Project 1234.1 and 1 ship of Project 1234.7.[3][4] Construction and careerZyb' was laid down on 26 August 1986 at Almaz Shipyard, Leningrad.
