Project history: Officially rated as supply vessels ships have 4 533mm TTs at transom hidden by covers. Deck aft is used for storage of two standard TEU containers. There is a crane and a ramp aft. Ships use SeaHake Mod.4ER torpedoes, the most long-range torpedoes ever. 140km range is reported (theoretically up to 185km), which allows to attack Iranian submarines in their bases from ultra-long distance.

Modernizations: None.
