Historical Notes
In 1934, the Gorky assembly plant received orders to produce a line of armored river boats: Projects 1124 and 1125. Over the next ten years, more than 100 of these boats would be built, featuring a variety of weapons. Most boats were equipped with modified tank turrets, such as the 76mm gun from the T-28. Thanks to their extremely shallow draft, they could navigate any major waterway in the western Soviet Union. These patrol boats proved a difficult challenge to the Axis invaders, in particular along the Danube River.
These boats were powered by a pair of 800 horsepower engines, giving them a top speed of about 19 knots. They were protected by as much as 20mm of armor and were armed with multiple weapon turrets. This version of a Project 1125 boat has a T-28 tank turret, a smaller machine gun turret, and a multiple rocket launcher mounted in the rear of the boat.

Историческая справка:
В 1934 году Зеленодольский завод имени А. М. Горького получил оборонный заказ на постройку новых для того времени кораблей — речных бронекатеров проектов 1124 и 1125. За 10 лет их было построено 154 единицы. За свою историю, бронекатера оснащались пушками разных калибров. Первоначально это были 76-мм танковые пушки образца 1927/32 от танков Т-28. Но уже в 1942 году бронекатера получили Ф-34, пушки от башен танков Т-34. Бронекатер имел водоизмещение 30 тонн, развивая скорость до 18 узлов.
