Project 1234 Ovod / Nanuchka-class missile corvette is a Soviet-designed guided-missile corvette family built by Almaz and Vympel shipyards for Soviet and export customers. The class centered on P-120 Malakhit anti-ship missiles in Soviet service, used export P-15 Termit missiles, and later Nanuchka III refits added Kh-35 or Uran anti-ship missiles and stronger point defense.
The Project 1234 family split into Soviet and export branches, then into later refits with different missiles and gun fits.
| Variant | Key fit | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Project 1234 / Nanuchka I | P-120 Malakhit anti-ship missiles | Baseline Soviet service variant with the original missile-heavy coastal strike layout. |
| Project 1234E / Nanuchka II | P-15 Termit export fit | Export derivative built for customers including Libya, India, and Algeria. |
| Project 12341 / Nanuchka III | Kh-35 / Uran modernization and stronger point defense | Later Russian refits added updated missiles and improved gun and fire-control equipment. |
Export Nanuchka II vessels in Libyan service were reportedly damaged or destroyed in separate 1986, 2011, and 2014 incidents.
