Hi Glider
An interesting, and often overlooked nationality in this field are the Russians. The Russianss specialised in ultra-small MTBs, of which the most successful were their D3 and Komsolec Types.
The D3 were considered large, by Soviet standards, at 35 tons. normal armament was 2 x 21 in torps, and either 4 x 0.5 in or 2-3 x 20mm shvak cannon. They had a very wide selection of machinery types, which also produced huge performace differences, ranging from 32 knots through to 53 knots (yes 53 knots)
The Komsolec design was ready in 1940, but really they were not produced until 1944. They were ultra small, at 15 tons, but they packed a considerable punch. 2 x 21 in torps, with either 4 x 0.5in MG or 2 x 20mm cannon. They were made of reinforced Aluminium, and possessed the fantastic max speed of 57 knots.
The Soviets were also highly successful subtype in this general class were the armoured river gunboats, and in this field the Soviets reigned supreme. They produced two basic types, the Type 1124BKA type and the much larger MBK type.
The MBK type was 150 tons, armed with 2 x 85mm guns, 1 x 37mm and 4 x 0.5 in HMGs, with a top speed of 28knots. They were armoured, turret faces to 2 inches, CT 1.5 to two inches, light plate to hull sides .
Over 300 were built during the war, and they allowe3d the Soviets to completely dominate the major rivers of the Eastern Front. This was a significant advantage in the major river crossings the Red Army wa obliged to undertake during the war.
