| Source measurement | The project 58181 was developed by State Research and Design Shipbuilding Center on the basis of the Gyurza-M-class gunboats in 2015. However, it was refined during construction. The first contract was signed in 2016. On September 4, 2018, the first launching ceremony for the first boat of the first series was held. The boat was already built on a revised project, which received new project number 58503 and the code «Centaur-LK». On September 20, the second boat of the series was launched. On November 19, 2018, newly built assault boats arrived to Odessa to continue testing. The top speed of 50 knots is achieved by a pair of New Zealand-made Hamilton Jet water jet propulsion engines and can stay at sea for a maximum of five days. The class is armed with two remote weapon stations with 12.7 mm high-caliber machine guns and a 40-mm rocket launcher. The boats also feature two 80-mm rocket-launch systems.[source]Centaur-class fast assault craft · Development and design; only the objects and conditions stated in this passage | — |
