The ''Project 58150 Gurza'' (Desert Viper) class is a series of small armored artillery boats built for the Ukrainian Navy and the Uzbek Frontier Service. The whole class is produced by the Leninska Kuznya (Kiev). The original and modernized classes are developed by the State Research and Design Shipbuilding Center (Mykolaiv). There were only 2 ships of Project 58150 Gurza in 2004 for the Uzbek Border Guard and were financed by the United States.〔(Project of armored boat Gurza ).
