The
Project 1258 Korund (Yevgenya class by the NATO classification) are a group of
minesweepers built for the Soviet Navy and export customers between 1967 and 1980.
These were small minehunters built for inshore work. The hulls were constructed
of glass-reinforced plastic. For low speed on the ship, a special diesel engine
of 80 hp was used. The minesweeper was very successful and with its very small
size (displacement of about 90 tons) had a full range of anti-mines weapons. The
ship was in great demand in the world market. A total of 40 inshore minesweepers
on Project 1258E (variant for export) were sold to 10 countries. Inshore
Minesweeper RT-214 laid down at the Sredne-Nevsky Shipyard, Pontonny (yard No.152)
by Project 1258E, commissioned on 10 July 1985 and assigned to the Black Sea Fleet.
RT-214 was excluded from the lists of the Black Sea Fleet on 10 January
1996 and transferred to the Ukrainian Naval Forces, with rename to Genichensk
(hull number U360). On 25 August 2022, the minesweeper was sunk in the northwestern
part of the Black Sea by the Russian Air Forces. Specifications |
