The Mangust Class patrol boat was designed by Almaz Central Marine Design Bureau. The deep-V hull design combined with efficient propulsion system provides the boat superior manoeuvrability and controllability. The high speed allows the boat to effectively conduct search-and-rescue (SAR) missions involving the transportation of rescue teams, survival aids, medical and fire-fighting equipment to vessels in distress. The patrol boats can be equipped with lightweight diving equipment.

The boat offers low noise level and incorporates optimal compartment layout ensuring excellent working and living conditions for the crew and passengers. Crew comfort is further enhanced by the air conditioning system in the crew’s cabin and pilot house.

The Mangust Class has an overall length of 19.45m, extreme beam of 4.4m, mid-ship depth of 2.2m, fully loaded draught of 1.16m, and full load displacement of 27.2t. Each patrol boat can complement a crew of three to six members.

The propulsion is provided by two MTU 10V2000M93 main diesel engines, each driving an ASD-14 Arneson surface drive fixed-pitch propeller controlled by Vector Stick-IIC joystick system. The Mangust class boats have a maximum speed of around 50kt and cruising speed of 36kt. The maximum range of the boat with maximum fuel storage is 430nmi. The storage capacity of 2,000L of fuel and 290L of fresh water ensures an endurance of two days.

The Project 12150 Mangust fast patrol boats built by Vympel Shipyard JSC are in service with the Russian Navy, Federal Security Service (FSB) and Customs Service of Russian Federation.
