Neštin Class: users: Yugoslavia, Serbia, Hungary (1981-now, 6 vessels), Iraq (1980-2003, 3 vessels) fuel capacity: 10700kg propulsion: 2x Torpedo B-539 RM/2 Diesels range: 1710nm @ 12kt weapons ammunition: 1x 20/IV mm M75 Quad (Hispano-Suiza HS.804) - bow, 4800 rounds 2x 20mm M71 Single (Hispano-Suiza HS.804) - stern, 1200 rounds 1x SA-N-5 Grail [9K32M Strela-2M] Quad MANPADS - 16 missiles mine countermeassures gear: PEAM-1 MDL-2 AEL-1
Regarding mines, KMD-2-500 were phased out long before Nestin class minesweepers were built, instead 6 heavier AIM-M.70 bottom mines could be carried during the 1970s (CWDB) and during the 80s and later on 8 shorter and lighter AIM-M.82 or 24 GMI-100 Rockan bottom mines (DB3K). I made a request for a mine magazine for Yugoslav ships which can hold different mines. I thought it might be interesting for a navy which is more defensive in nature: #1574
