The Russian Navy OSA-1 Missile Boat was a small, fast attack vessel that was developed in the 1960s.
It was designed to operate in coastal waters, where its speed and agility would give it a tactical advantage over larger, slower ships.
The OSA-1 was approximately 112 feet (34 meters) long and had a displacement of around 115 tons. It was powered by two diesel engines that gave it a top speed of around 38 knots (70 kilometers per hour).
The boat's armament consisted of four SS-N-2B Styx anti-ship missiles, as well as a variety of guns and machine guns.
The OSA-1 was used extensively by the Soviet Union and its allies during the Cold War.
It was considered a highly effective platform for coastal defense and offensive operations, and was capable of quickly striking enemy ships in littoral waters.
It was also used for reconnaissance and patrol missions.
Today, the OSA-1 is no longer in active service with the Russian Navy, although it remains in use with some of Russia's allies.
While it was an effective vessel in its time, its relatively small size and limited armament make it less effective in the modern era of naval warfare.
