The MPK Pr.11451 is a rank V Soviet motor torpedo gun boat with a battle rating of 4.7 (AB/RB/SB). It was introduced in Update "Seek & Destroy".
General info
Survivability and armour
The MPK Pr.11451's armour is not the best as it will only reliably protect against small arms fire from the reserve boats that are common in the battles you'll be fighting. Its crew count of 36 also should not be relied upon to protect you but they are more widely distributed compared to its predecessor.
Mobility
As a hydrofoil, the MPK Pr.11451 is an extremely fast boat, capable of reaching speeds of up to 120 km/h once spaded. However that also makes it hard to manoeuvre once it reaches high speeds.

Armament
Primary armament
Provide information about the characteristics of the primary armament. Evaluate their efficacy in battle based on their reload speed, ballistics and the capacity of their shells. Add a link to the main article about the weapon: {{main|Weapon name (calibre)}}. Broadly describe the ammunition available for the primary armament, and provide recommendations on how to use it and which ammunition to choose.

Secondary armament
Some ships are fitted with weapons of various calibres. Secondary armaments are defined as weapons chosen with the control Select secondary weapon. Evaluate the secondary armaments and give advice on how to use them. Describe the ammunition available for the secondary armament. Provide recommendations on how to use them and which ammunition to choose. Remember that any anti-air armament, even heavy calibre weapons, belong in the next section. If there is no secondary armament, remove this section.

Usage in battles
Being essentially an MPK Pr.12412 on hydrofoils, the Pr.11451 may be played like one. Early in matches, the Mukha can be used to capture points before the enemy does thanks to its speed, and its 76 mm gun can be used to deter boats (i.e. the LS 3 and G-5) from taking your place. Later on in these matches, you can act as an anti-aircraft boat, utilising your 30 mm gun and search radar to shred planes to pieces thanks to its extremely high fire rate. Bear in mind that the torpedoes, having a weak explosive filler compared to others, should not be relied upon to take down larger ships unless you are at point-blank range.
Pros and cons
Pros:
- Fast, at 120 km/h when spaded
- Robust armament suite
- Has access to a search and tracking radar
Cons:
- Large target
- The huge size of its hydrofoils means it can't access shallow areas
- Completely outclassed against destroyers
- Torpedoes have a low explosive filler
- Can face heavy cruisers like the Prinz Eugen
History
In 1984, construction began on a new type of small anti-submarine boat for the USSR. Project 11451 boats, thanks to their high speed, towed sonar array and powerful weapons, were supposed to search for enemy submarines. A group of several of these boats could very quickly move to an area for the chosen search, carry out the search and if necessary, quickly move to new coordinates. Despite the planned large series of MPKs, only two Project 11451 boats were able to be fully completed before the collapse of the Soviet Union.
