on august 2013 the russian boat manufacturer open jsc pella
based in leningrad revealed a new high-speed patrol boat
project zero three one six zero it gained a lot of interest when it was spotted undergoing the
builder's sea trials and again in september 2013 when it was demonstrated to the russian navy
the pictures released at the time looked very familiar and comparisons were made
with the swedish navy's fast military assault craft the cb-90
designed and built by the swedish boat manufacturer Dockstavarvet
the russian navy project 03160 was given the name the raptor and the first four
were delivered to the russian navy's black sea fleets and were based at the leningrad naval base
on first sight the raptor does look remarkably similar to the swedish cb 90 but look again you
can begin to see differences clearly this is not an exact copy the raptors manufacture has
gained a great deal of inspiration from the cb-90 and that's reflected into the boats
design it's understood the black sea fleet as of 2020 now operating 17 raptor bowls
i've added some clips of swedish and norwegian cb90 fast attack craft
you can make your own judgment on similarities to the russian raptor
