The Sarancha class is the NATO reporting name for a hydrofoil missile boat built for the Soviet Navy.
The Soviet designation was Project 1240 Uragan (Серия 1240 Ураган- Hurricane).
It was deemed too large, complex and expensive for series production and only a prototype boat was built.
In 1979, she was transferred to the Black Sea Fleet via Russian inland waterways.
