Armaments
The INS Chamak was armed with a standard AK-230 30mm gun, commonly used as a sea-gun piece for typically less armored and less capable of open sea deployment vessels, it was armed with the SA-N-5 SAM system modified to be capable of sea-type deployment, and the SS-N-2A Styx (NATO Reporting Name: P-15 Termit) used for anti-ship deployments commonly used on weaker vessels, such as frigates and corvettes.
