    Finally!
    Today, the Vympel shipyard (part of USC) in Rybinsk launched the STUPINETS missile boat of Project 12418 (Tarantul class).
    Note: There is one more ship of that class still building in that shipyard.

    The upgraded missile boat with factory No. 01301 will get the name of Stupinets in honor of the city of Stupino in the Moscow Region.

    https://www.navalnews.com/naval-news/2024/07/russia-launches-project-12418-tarantul-class-corvette-stupinets/

    Quite negative article about the tarantul class small missile ship.

    Yes, it is not the most advanced ship and probably it is not worth to produce more since they are basically smaller and less capable versions of karakurt and buyanM, but if the 2 hulls were sitting unused in the shipyard, why not?

    By the way, this sentence in the article does not make sense for me.
    two completed, probably mainly to keep the Vympel Shipyard alive, and strengthen the small Caspian Flotilla, are likely to remain the only ones in the Russian Navy.

    Vympel shipyard is capable to build ships larger than the buyan or karakurts, so if was just for keeping it alive, it wouldn't need this order. Furthermore they are fulfilling also several other orders for small military ships and for civilian ships.

    It's an all out fest in the western news media to trash anything RUSSIAN - no surprises there.

    These boats are still relevant - even the ones with the Moskit missiles could pose a major threat in a coastal environment where they would be difficult to spot.

    I think it is a flawed design. It was meant to be a high speed missile boat. So they should have kept the gas turbine unit. This could have been done with a gas turbine and two diesels. Or they could have kept the dual gas turbine setup.

    The original had two boost engines and two cruise engines. Two shafts. One boost engine and one cruise engine per shaft. The boost engines had like 8.2 MW (11000 hp) power each, and the cruise engines 3 MW (4000 hp).

    UEC Saturn makes the M90FR turbine with 20 MW power. A single turbine could replace the two boost engines. Another option would be to keep the existing layout and put two M70FRU2 turbines with 8 MW power as boost engines. The cruise engines could be just regular diesels.

    They probably used the M507 in order not to have to design a new propulsion system. This way they just use the same propulsion as in the Karakurt but it is just two shafts instead of three.

    For air defense they could have used the Ghibka.
