The patrol craft is designed to operate in rivers and perform various missions of the Russian Coast Guard like protecting Russian maritime borders, law enforcement, enforcement of navigation rules, search and rescue, and fisheries protection.

Design
editThe patrol craft are designed similar to other Russian river patrol vessels. In terms of armament, PSKR-201 and PSKR-202 are only equipped with one 30 mm CIWS instead of two and carry a twin 12.7 mm machine gun turret; all of the vessels have MANPADS and a 7.62 mm machine gun. The suite of armaments they are equipped with allows the craft to engage surface, air, and ground threats and targets. The vessels are equipped with a simple navigational radar and communication systems. The vessels are equipped with 2 × 1100 hp M401B diesel engines, two fixed pitch propellers, 2 × 30 kW diesel generators; this gives them a top speed of about 25 knots.[1]
