The ships of the project “Buyan” are equipped with unique propulsion systems consisting of two water jets, they provide the ship with a small draft on the move.

The architectural appearance of the ship meets the requirements for reducing radar visibility, thanks to the use of "stealth technology."
The main armament of all ships of this project is the Caliber-NK universal missile system, capable of using several types of high-precision missiles, both on surface and coastal targets at ranges up to 300 km.
