The Ondatra class Soviet designation Project 1176 Akula ("shark") is a class of landing craft built for the Soviet Navy and Russian Navy between 1971 and 2009.

Construction

The vessels were

Landing Craft Mechanized (LCM).[2][3][4]

The Ondatra landing craft have a limited range, of two days and 330–500 

littoral combat. The Ivan Rogov-class landing ships carry one Ondatra for use as a tug for its Lebed-class air-cushioned landing craft.[5][6][7]

Although still under construction in 2009, the Project 1176 is a 1970s design that is reaching the end of its operational life. The class may be replaced by the newer Project 21820 Dyugon-class landing craft that is currently entering service in the Russian Navy. The Dyugon-class vessels carry two main battle tanks compared to the Ondatra's single tank, it is armed (2 MPTU-1 of 14.5 mm), and can attain 35 knots (65 km/h; 40 mph) compared to the Ondatra's 11 knots (20 km/h; 13 mph).[8]

Ships

42 vessels are documented for the Soviet Navy and Russian Navy.[9] On 10 November 2023 one Ondatra-class craft was reported destroyed by Ukrainian intelligence near Chornomors'ke, in northern Crimea by a Ukrainian sea drone.[10]
