The Pauk class is the NATO reporting name for a class of small patrol corvettes built for the Soviet Navy and export customers between 1977 and 1989. The Russian designation is Project 1241.2 Molniya-2. These ships are designed for coastal patrol and inshore anti-submarine warfare. The design is the patrol version of the Template:Sclass2- which is designated Project 1241.1 by the Russians, but is slightly longer and has diesel engines. The ships are fitted with a dipping sonar which is also used in Soviet helicopters.

Ships

45 boats were built for the Soviets, of which 18 remain in Russian Navy service (including those operated by the Maritime border guard). Four ships are operated by the Ukrainian Navy or Ukrainian Coast Guard (sources vary)

Export

Two ships transferred in 1989/90 - Bodri (Brisk) and Reshitelni (Decisive)

One ship in service.

Four ships transferred in the late 1980s and are known as the Template:Sclass-. A plan to license-produce more units in India was abandoned in favor of the indigenous Template:Sclass-. Ships named INS Abhay (Fearless) INS Ajay (Unconquerable) INS Akshay (Indestructible) INS Agray (Aggressive)

Two ships transferred, U207 Uzghorod (now decommissioned) and U208 Khmelnytskyi (in service).
