Project history: These ships were designed around a new mine countermeasures weapon. They have a mine detection sonar and an underwater communication link. Machinery is remote-controlled, presumably so that all personnel can be concentrated in a safe control station.

Modernizations: 1996, Astrakhanets: - mine countermeasures equipment

Naval service: BT-730 ran ashore 27.11.1985 in Tsyp-Navolok Bight and was demolished by the crew. BT-51 was badly damaged by fire 10.10.2003 at Vladivostok and stricken next year.
