Armament:
The Vikhr-K missile and artillery complex, designed to destroy surface targets (patrol ships, boats), stationary and moving ground armored and unarmored targets (tanks, infantry fighting vehicles, armored personnel carriers), as well as engineering structures (pillboxes, buildings, bridges, crossings and others) and air targets (helicopters and airplanes), includes:
- 4 guided missiles "Whirlwind" (range of destruction up to 10 km);
- one 30 mm artillery mount AK-306 with 500 rounds (range of destruction up to 4 km);
- a heat-television system and an artillery fire control system with an automatic target tracking system.
14.5 mm naval pedestal machine gun mount designed to engage air, coastal and surface targets. The launcher ensures the defeat of surface and coastal targets at ranges up to 2000 m at an altitude of up to 1500 m. For firing at surface, coastal and air targets, cartridges with the B-32 armor-piercing incendiary bullet, the BZT armor-piercing tracer bullet and the MDZ instant incendiary bullet are used.
The lead patrol boat of project 12200 was built in 2006 (No. 200) and put into trial operation for a year to the Border Service of the FSB of the Russian Federation. Based on the results of its tests, it was decided to launch Sobol into a series of 30 units. In 2008, the first factory boat of this project was built - serial number 201. In 2009, 6 pieces were built - serial numbers 202-207. In 2010, 2 more boats of project 12200 were launched - Nos. 208 and 209, and 3 more boats, Nos. 210-212, were laid down. This is at the St. Petersburg "Almaz", in 2010 two more boats were to be laid in the Vladivostok "Eastern Shipyard". The Black Sea Fleet received 5 units, the Baltic Fleet - one, two boats are being built for the Pacific Fleet.
Two boats were sold to Turkmenistan for the Caspian Sea.
In order to unify the "Sobol" in the future, it will replace the boats of all projects of a similar class, which are in service with the Russian border service. For Russian border guards "Sobol" is supplied in a version armed only with a machine gun.
