The Mangust-class patrol boat, Russian designation Project 12150, is a Russian Coast Guard vessel. The patrol craft is designed to operate in coastal areas, ports, and other littoral areas, to perform missions such as protection of territorial maritime borders, law enforcement, other defense missions, search and rescue, protection of fisheries, and enforcing rules of navigation.[1]
The craft has a modern design with various comforts for the crew such as low noise levels, air conditioning and well designed layout for better working and living conditions for the crew. They are armed with a variety of weapons to engage surface, air, and underwater threats.[2] They are also equipped with a small boat for missions such as boarding operations.
2 boats were transferred from the Black Sea Fleet to the Baltic Fleet in 2016. In 2019, one Mangust-class patrol boat, PSKA-600, was decommissioned and sold to a civilian buyer.[3]
