It is noteworthy that the Osa-class missile boat is a high-speed naval vessel developed by the Soviet Union in the early 1960s. According to open sources, the Syrian Navy operated approximately 16 OSA-class missile boats, with at least half being the upgraded OSA II variant.
The primary armament of the OSA-class features four P-15 (SS-N-2 Styx) anti-ship missilesas the main weapon. For air defense, the boats are fitted with two AK-230 turrets, each armed with twin 30mm autocannons. The vessels are powered by three diesel engines, each driving its own shaft, providing a high power-to-weight ratio and enabling a maximum speed of 39 knots.
