The Dzheyran, I think - almost 300 tons, 47x18 meters, carries some 300
men (or a combination of tanks/APCs and men), armed with chaff
launchers and 2 twin 30mm cannon.

Then there's the Pomornik, of course - 550 tons, almost 58x26 meters in
size, but armed with 2 SA-N-5 Grail quad launchers, two 6-barrel 30mm
cannon, two 122mm rocket launchers and up to 80 mines if desired (though the
mine rails displace some of the troops carried). I believe
that one's a bit bigger than most corvettes, though :-/

The 87-ton Lebed is only armed with two 30mm MGs. For something its
size, that's almost indecent <g>

Best wishes,
