Molniya (Lightning) class missile boat

The missile boat of Project 1241.8 has been developed on the same basic platform as the Project 1242.1 boat. It differs from the predecessor by the missile armament only: it carries 16 Kh-35 [SSN-X-25 Switchblade] missiles of the Uran-E system instead of 4 missiles of the Moskit-E (SS-N-22 Sunburn) system.

The Uran-E missile characteristics are similar to those of American Harpoons, but the missile boats of Project 1241.8 carry twice more missiles on board.

LOL you can post your queries to VN Defence Ministry in Hanoi. As far as I know all components are produced and assembled in VN. Missile boat is too small to carry helicopter.

You can laugh if you want. The ten new highspeed warships can carry 160 antiship missiles, that´s more than enough to sink all surface warships of your called South Sea Fleet.
