These ships were designed around the [[SS-N-9|P-120 Malakhit]] ("Siren") anti ship missile. Export versions used the [[SS-N-2|P-15 Termit]] ("Styx") missile. In 2019 the missiles on ''Smerch'' were replaced with sixteen [[Kh-35|Uran/SS-N-25 'Switchblade']]. Unlike smaller missile boats, both carry [[SA-N-4]] ("Gecko") SAMs for self-defence. The original Nanuchka I carried a twin 57mm [[AK-257]] main gun, replaced by a 76mm [[AK-176]] in the Nanuchka III and an updated AK-176MA was added to ''Smerch'' during the refit. The Nanuchka III also has a rotary 30mm [[AK-630]] point-defence gun to bolster its protection against missile attack. Currently Project 12341 ships are receiving BAGIRA Fire Control System turning them into multirole vessels.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://navyrecognition.com/index.php/news/defence-news/2017/october-2017-navy-naval-forces-defense-industry-technology-maritime-security-global-news/5644-russian-navy-nanuchka-class-corvettes-receive-new-bagira-mr-123-02-3-fire-control-system.html |title=Russian Navy Nanuchka-class Corvettes Receive New BAGIRA MR-123-02/3 Fire Control System |date=17 October 2017 |website=Navyrecognition.com |access-date=27 August 2022}}</ref>
