The 4 inch guns also proved poor against any armour, resulting in a varient of the type-2112 102mm howitzer to be created capable of firing foreign 127mm rounds.

The Blokha class destroyer is a class of destroyers currently in active service in Sahrland. A total of five were proposed with only four being finished to original specs.
Design and Construction
Plan Q called for 5 destroyers to be commissioned into the Sahren Navy. The lack of domestic missile production facilities in Sahrland had a significant influence on design choices as using them for the main source of firepower would result in serious logistical demand. The design was therefor very gun heavy, initially comprising of six IRM-102/2s which were lengthened versions of the IRM-102 used on the Kerch cavalry tank. The layout of armaments intentionally placed most of the firepower aft as it was considered the vessels would be on the retreat often in the case of combat, along with making the potential removal of one or more turrets easier for later refits.
The vessels were defended with an extensive suite of six 20mm anti munition emplacements as it was predicted a potential enemy would seek to exploit their missile advantage to the fullest extent. They were also given 3 inches of armour plate around the vitals, though the effective thickness compared to contemporary plates is still debated due to the quality of early Sahren metallurgy.
For propulsion they utilized scaled up diesels used in Korvet series ships beforehand but as these were coastal types, the Blokhas became the first oceangoing military vessel of Sahrland to be not powered by coal or coal based fuels.
The original design called for laser rangefinders fitted into each turret which would feed data into a central fire computer. Fire control was not assisted by radar, and the only radars present were used for directing the anti munition cannons. Later refits addressed these issues in a piecemeal manner, making every destroyer differ significantly in this aspect of design.
Construction was marked with difficulty due to corruption and poor funding. The rapidly changing nation also rendered many design choices obsolete on launch day, as the missile shortage was gradually alleviated and the strategic requirements of maritime service changed. Instability and frequent wars led to many being rushed out of production with large flaws. Notably, Blokha sailed out with only 13 shells and faulty electrical machinery which later led to her internment in Phoenia during the Sahren Civil War. Their extensive gun armament for their size also contributed to stability issues which diminished accuracy and seakeeping.

Service History
Much of the early service history of the Blokha class is centred around civil unrest in Sahrland and the Sahren Civil War, in which they served mostly as leaders for torpedo boat attacks.
