Guided missile anti-aircraft missiles V-300. It was designed to defeat aircraft with a flight speed of 1500 km/h at altitudes from 5 to 25 km and at a distance of 35 km the First anti-aircraft guided missile (AAGM) with radio command guidance was single stage, liquid fuel, pressurization feed system components.
The launching of another ship of the MEKO family of corvettes “Amatola” for the Navy of South Africa — at first glance, were not fraught with anything unusual.

We can safely say that the class of the ship ejection of seaplanes was the most short-lived in the history of Soviet aviation. There are many reasons, but chief among them is that in the heyday of ejection aviation fleet of the Soviet Union played a secondary role.
