Thread: The soviet patrol boat

  1. #1
    Would anyone happen to know the make/model of the Soviet patrol boat featured in Operation Flashpoint? Or does anyone have good links regarding Soviet/Russian naval equipment (patrol boats etc.)? I'm doing a bit of research on the equipment featured in Operation Flashpoint and the Soviet boat is the only vehicle I haven't found any information on on the internet (because I don't know the model). Help appreciated.

    Yeah, it doesn't give you the model or anything just "Boat".

    I have no idea. at times I wander if it is indeed a real boat.

    They probably just wanted an ability for seaborne insertions and ways to get to other islands other than air. I would suspect as its a very small part of the game they just loosly based it on some Russian patrol boat which was in service sometime

    it depends on the role of the PT boat. there are numerous kinds, from ASW to (former)GRU border patrol and the technicalities change accordingly

    Dimensions: 58.5 x 10.4 x 2.14 meters
    Propulsion: 2 diesels, 2 shafts, 17,330 bhp, 28 knots
    Crew: 39
    Armament: 1 76.2mm DP, 1 SA-N-8 SAM system, 1 30mm AA, 2 dual
    25mm AA, 2 RBU-1200 ASW RL, 4 21 inch torpedo tubes
    Soviet-built. Returned to service 1999; condition questionable.

    Thanks for the opinions. I am also beginning to suspect that the boat is Bohemia's own design and is not directly based on any real-world boat.
