Hello everyone, today I’d like to suggest a really cool hydrofoil missile boat.

This is the Project 206MR class, R-262 “Pryluky”!

R-262 “Pryluky” with hull number 968, around 1990.

A quick note: In total 12 ships have been build of the Project 206MR class. But the reason I chose to suggest R-262 “Pryluky” specifically is because I could find the most pictures of her.

History & Design

These boats are the descendants of the Project 205-class missile boat and are a heavily modified version of the Project 206M-class torpedo boat.

Just like the Project 206M, the ships have a single foil mounted on the front of the ship, and the aft part of the hull stays in the water (Just like the Project 206M).

Despite initial reports that they were good seaboats, later information revealed that the Soviets regarded them as cramped inside and top-heavy. Of thirteen planned ships, one was cancelled and another started but never completed. All were built in Leningrad.

After the breakup of the USSR, Russia discarded many and five went to Ukraine, one of which was later transferred to Georgia after a complete refurbishment.

The remaining ships remain in service to this day.

The Project 206MR ships were powered by three M-520, 5000hp diesels engines, which would propell the boat forward at a max speed of 43 knots (79.6km/h / 49.5mph). Futhermore, the ships came equiped with a MR-101 Rangout radar, an Omega navigation radar and an Pchela ESW radar system.

Also the ships had a PK-16 decoy system onboard. These consisted of two KL-101 launchers. These look like little rocket pods you might expect to see on an aircraft, but these are just decoy launchers to counter incomming threats.

For armament the Project 206MR class was very well armed for it’s size. First of the ships had a 76mm AK-176M turret on the front of the ship. This gun had a rate of fire up to 130 rounds per minute! But the ships only carried 300 rounds for this gun, so it’s best to not be to trigger happy at that rate of fire.

For secondairy weapons the ships were equiped with a 30mm AK-630M CIWS. This one is located at the stern of the ship. This CIWS has a rate of fire up to 5000 RPM. But the ships only carry 1000 rounds of ammunition for this CIWS, so it is really only good for a last minute situation for when you really need it.

The ships also come with anti ship missiles. These were two KT-97M Terrmit anti-ship missile launchers, armed with one P-15M anti-ship missile each. These missiles had an operational range of 40 - 80 km. These missiles will come in very handy when dealing with larger targets. But sadly you only carry two missiles, so you got to make them count!

At last the ships could also mount a MTU-4 SAM launcher, armed with four Strela-3 missiles. Although these are not always fitted to the ship, or atleast, are not always visible. But they would have been located just behind the 30mm CIWS, being put at a small platform just between the two missile launchers.

These anti air missiles will come in very handy for when you don’t want to waste your CIWS ammunition on aircraft.
