Based on the findings from the Ukraine war, Russia apparently wants to modernise its fleet of Project 03160 Raptor combat boats. This was announced by the contracted shipyard in a statement. In addition to armament, the focus of the measure will also be on the protection of the boats. The Project 03160 patrol boat, which is designed and manufactured by the St. Petersburg-based Pella shipyard, has been in service with the Russian armed forces since 2015. With a length of 16.7 m and a width of 4 m, the Raptors have a maximum displacement of 23 tonnes according to the manufacturer and can carry a crew of two or three in the hull.
