The Soviet designation Project 1241 Molniya ( '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). In 2014, Egypt showed interest in the acquisition of the P-32 (Project 12421 Molniya) missile boat but the contract was signed in 2015. In July 2015, the missile boat headed to the Mediterranean Sea and arrived at the port of Alexandria at the end of the month. The P-32 was handed over to the Egyptian Navy on 10 August after participating in the inauguration of the New Suez Canal. |
