Programmes: Tarantul II were built at Kolpino, Petrovsky, Leningrad and in the Pacific in 1980-86. Production of Taruntul IIIs then continued until 1995 although a single experimental Tarantul III with four SS-N-22 had been completed at Petrovsky in 1981. One more was launched in September 1997 at Rybinsk, and a Tarantul III at Kolpino completed in December 1999 for the Baltic Fleet. Type name is raketny kater meaning missile cutter.
Modernisation: Tarantul III 874 served as a trials platform for a modified version of SS-N-22 with a longer range; the missile is distinguished by end caps on the launcher doors. Tarantul II 962 (now decommissioned) served as a trials platform for the CADS-N-1 point defence system in the Black Sea.
