This is the Project 415 GRP-hulled minesweeper/ hunter that was planned in eight variants depending on the MCM equipment carried.
They were cancelled in 1990.
Displacement 248 tons, 35 m x 7.96 m x 1.85 m, powered by two diesels, 12 knots and armed with one 23mm Wrobel mount or a Soviet 30mm.

The Project 189/289 to replace the Kondors will follow. It's nice to get back to some E.Bloc ships after to long.

Nice one, Hood. And well drawn, as expected I'd imagine that some of Baltic sea countries would wanted to have one too...
I'm just wondering: is /or why the propulsion thought that way; push-pull? And, I would not like be a nitpicker, but it seems there is 23mm and 30mm?

Welcome back with these; looking forward more.

heh, indeed nice to see you on the "other side of the wall", and finally these little gems (I stopped pretending to myself to find time to drawn them long ago...)

That's simply marvelous!
I'm (impatiently ) looking forward to further additions to this thread!

Fantastic work! It's going to be a fabulous thread.

This is the Project 141 developed between 1976 and 1979 in two variants, the Pr.141.1 Mink shown here and the slightly smaller pr.141.2 Weisel with a 23mm cannon and six mine launchers and 14 frogmen instead of the 30mm cannon and P-21/P-22 missiles. The 533mm torpedo tubes would have been carried by both versions.
Specifications; Mink 98.4 tons, Weisel 95.9 tons, 30.8 m (Wiesel 30.2 m) x 7 m x 1.3 m, three M504 DM diesels, 47 knots (Weisel 48 knots).
