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.

Naval Vessel Lürssen", newly founded last year in October as the Defence division of the Lürssen Group, is now taking part in SMM as such for the first time. The new name is also intended to convey new content, naturally with representative space. To this end, around 100 square metres have been booked to introduce visitors to the shipyard group. The programme includes the presentation of the entire portfolio of government and naval shipbuilding. Visitors to the stand can expect a visual leitmotif: communication and interaction with a customised stand design, also to demonstrate the independence of the NVL Group from Lürssen. The fact that the company management and the people involved are known to be the same and are also based at the traditional...
