The Neštin class was designed by the Naval Institute of the Yugoslav Navy. All minesweepers were built by the Brodotehnika shipyard in Belgrade. They can load and lay 18 AIM-M82 non-contact mines or 24 R-1 anchor mines, as well as carry 80 fully equipped troops.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cem\u003eCountermeasures equipment consists of mechanical mine hunter MDL-2R, improvised electromagnetic\/acoustic mine hunter PEAM-1 and explosive mine hunter AEL.\u003c\/em\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe Neštin class is powered by two Torpedo B-539RM\/2 engines, each rated at 121 kW.\u003c\/em\u003e \u003cem\u003eAn Oropesa is a streamlined, towed body used for minesweeping.
