Patrol boats of project 03160 "Raptor" are being upgraded taking into account the experience of use within the framework of the NWO

Project 03160 Raptor patrol boats will be upgraded to take into account their use as part of a special military operation of the Russian army in Ukraine. This was reported at the Pella shipyard, which produces these boats.

According to a representative of the Pella shipyard, the modernization of the boats will primarily affect protection and armament, this decision was made taking into account the use of the Raptors in the Northern Military District in Ukraine. The modernization project provides for the installation of only domestic components. Details of the upgrade are not given.

Based on the results of the use of these boats during a special military operation this year, a proposal was put forward to modernize the project in terms of installing a more effective protection system and improving the combat performance of the boat

- leads RIA News words of the interlocutor.

Project 03160 Raptor boats are designed to patrol the coastal zone at a distance of up to 100 miles from the base. They can be part of the BDK, UDC with placement on board or in the docking chamber. The main tasks also include ensuring the safety of ships in unprotected roads, intercepting and detaining small targets, delivering troops (up to 20 people) with full armament, and participating in search and rescue operations.

The speed of the boat is up to 48 knots (depending on the height of the waves). Armed with a combat module "Uprava-Kord" with a heavy machine gun (14,5 mm) and two machine guns "Pecheneg" caliber 7,62 mm. The length of the boat is 16,9 meters, the width is 4,1 meters, the draft is 0,9 meters, the crew is three people.

To date, Shipyard "Pella" has delivered the fleet seventeen patrol boats of this project.

Everything to increase efficiency! The main thing - promptly!

Reality makes its own adjustments. These changes will affect speed, but safety is more important.

Yes, the change will lead to a drop in speed and possibly affect security in (-). Formulate carefully!

Why immediately to the speed? Installing, for example, the ability of a boat to set up smoke screens against the use of anti-tank systems, does not affect speed in any way

[rotmistr60]

The modernization of protection probably still implies an increase in the armor protection of the cabin, which today is 5 and 5A protection and hull classes. Modernization of weapons, it is possible to install additional weapons. Which in the end, whether you like it or not, will lead to a small, but increase in the mass of the boat.

And where in Ukraine did these boats take part in the battles and they did not have enough armor? Here, at least 2 Raptors were damaged by drones. That is, the lack of protection from enemy aircraft and modernization will most likely be in this area.

It can be divided into passive and active protection. Installing the same L-370 "Vitebsk" will not lead to a significant increase in weight.

These are not critical

"powerful, unparalleled" VPK thought.
Fleet.....? Or confidently moving forward?
10 years ago, they didn’t calculate the prospects for UAVs and satellite positioning and guidance strikes?

Drive drunks from the beach

[svp67]

At the parade in St. Petersburg showed "Raptor" with installed KAZ "Afganit" and anti-tank systems

[Observer2014]

KAZ will be supplied from ATGMs and a system like "Vitebsk" which is on helicopters.

If only it wasn't "barbecue", like on tanks, to "repel strikes from above" ....

It’s a pity they don’t write what exactly is planned to be strengthened. I think that the cabin and the engine should at least be protected from the M-2 12,7mm, and the guided missile - Kornet / Competition - should be added to the armament. Yes, and KPVT today is no longer so relevant. 2A72, and maybe LShO-57, would add "authority" .

[nonsense]

Well, this is not a battleship, this is a patrol boat - to drive "poachers". Which 2A70, which LShO-57? Are you going to demolish entire "poacher" villages by the sea or what?

[hagen]

Quote: nespich

Which 2A70, which LShO-57?

Firstly, I did not write about 2A70. I think 100 mm is a bit too much, although the Swedes even experimented with 120 mm twin mortars Secondly, the boat is not just a patrol boat, it can also carry a landing force of 20 people. And any landing possible fire support will never hurt. And LShO-57 is still not "battleship" weapons . Another thing is that the KPVT have concocted a lot, and they need to be attached somewhere ....

[Krilion]

it just became interesting - what were they thinking about at the TTZ and design stage? .. the main question, of course, is for the customer, who apparently did not understand where and how this technique would be used and what criteria it should meet .. as a result, they spent money inefficiently ..

[max702]

Do not interfere with professional military work! They graduated from academies and other things, they have experience and dozens of service calendars behind their backs, unlike you, they know what is needed!

[nonsense]

even if these "professional military" really wanted to work, how would they know what they need if they are not told clearly for what do you need it?

[antivirus]

It's not about how much you spend, but how much you earn.
"received profit ..." in all statutory documentation

[Vyacheslav Dokuchaev]

some system for detecting UAVs will be supplied and missiles to destroy them ......

[Dost]

And a platform for a helicopter, or at least for a helicopter-type UAV

[Dilettante grandfather]

Honestly, I don’t quite understand the need for crewed patrol boats. It seems to me that these functions can be completely entrusted to unmanned vehicles, since in the conditions of a clash, a patrol boat will be quickly destroyed. Why lose people?
PS I can not understand anything, I'm an amateur! Explain, gentlemen experts!

[white fall]

Man still acts much more adequately in unpredictable situations. And the semblance of AI is too unreliable in situations not provided for by the algorithm. Control via satellites is unreliable, because they can intercept and otherwise there is a lag and it is purely statistically unreliable. But the most important thing is the price of thinking pieces of iron that can really do something will be comparable to the money spent on crew training. If this were not so, then now the United States would have made most of the fleet unmanned a long time ago

In appearance, it is impossible to determine who is on a suspicious boat. It can be both honest fishermen and smugglers or a sabotage group. All questions can be removed by the inspection team.

[satellite24]

useless piece of iron we have nowhere to use it! once it was used near the shores of the outskirts, and then they staggered him from a cornet! and, most likely, modernization - you need to write off money)

[iouris]

Even the camouflage is kind of strange: for green water. Escorting the waters in which the yacht is moored may be good, but in a real war he will not live long.

- Comminuted, like the Swedish one... Well hides the silhouette of the ship against the background of the coast!

"Modernization of boats, first of all, will affect protection and weapons, ... The modernization project provides for the installation of only domestic components. Details of the modernization are not given."
Do you know why the details are not given? A little information:
"The boats of project 02510 BK-16, like the boats of project 03160 Raptor, were built on the basis of the project of the CombatBoat 90 small combat boat developed by the Swedish company Dockstavarvet."
http://zonwar.ru/news2/news_395_Combat_Boat-90.html
Some technical information: The Raptor engine room is equipped with two American Caterpillar C6 ACERT E-rating inline 18-cylinder turbodiesels (1150 hp at 2300 rpm, displacement 18,1 liters, cylinder block configuration - L6) , then comes the clutch mechanism, the so-called clutch, the clutch is followed by a shaft line to the English Rolls-Royce Kamewa 36A3 HS water jets.
Regarding the "BK-16": Equipped with two Italian inline 6-cylinder engines 6-4V-10 "Seatek" and two Italian water jets Turbodrive 400 HC "Castoldi".
And this is only a small part of the "bourgeois" equipment on these boats. Something like that. We will wait for the modernization and what they will tell us about it.
