The main missile system of the boat “Ivanovets” is 4 launchers of 3M-80 “Moskit” anti-ship missiles.
Due to its enormous kinetic energy, the Mosquito pierces the hull of any ship and explodes inside. Such a blow can sink not only a middle-class ship, but also a cruiser. The missile has a range of 120 km, weighs 3,95 tons (including the warhead - 150 kg), and can be equipped with both a conventional and nuclear warhead.
