The Yevgenya class are small minesweepers built for inshore work. The hulls are constructed of glass-reinforced plastic. As built they have a standard displacement of 88.5order=flipNaNorder=flip, 90LT normally, 91.5LT at full load and maximum 94LT. The Yevegenya class measures 26.13m (85.73feet) long overall, 23m (75feet) between perpendiculars and 24.16m (79.27feet) at the waterline with an extreme beam of 5.9m (19.4feet) and 5.4m (17.7feet) at the waterline. The vessel has a normal draught of 1.35m (04.43feet) and 1.38m (04.53feet) fully load.

As built, the minesweepers are powered by two diesel engines turning two propeller shafts creating 850bhp. This gives the ships a maximum speed of 12kn and a range of 300nmi at . They carry 90LT of diesel fuel.

The vessels have twin-mounted 14.5mm machine guns. They are equipped with MT-34, AT-2, SEMT-3, Neva and GKT-3 sweeps. The minesweepers mount MG-7 sonar. They have a complement of 10.
