Besides advantages, Tarantul also had several limitations such as the ship's air defense capability is very low because it is not equipped with missile interceptors that only professional naval version of the missile Igla-1M shoulder and reliability 2 fast dependable artillery AK-630M is not appreciated.
Tarantul often taking advantage of it thanks to the element of surprise, based on the same powerful high-speed anti-ship missiles to attack targets. However, before the strong development of the long-range reconnaissance technology, the element of surprise is very unlikely, if so, should be based on terrain and stealth features.

Meanwhile, self-hydrodynamic design of high-speed missile boats of the 1970s Tarantul is old and does not have stealth capabilities can be very difficult to exploit the element of surprise. Another limitation of the scope of activities Tarantul is relatively limited, relatively short time at sea.
According to Russia, candidate to replace Vietnam Tarantul ships are ships Buyan-M missile.
