-The '''{{Specs|name}}''' is a Soviet armoured gun boat developed in 1965, intended to replace the outdated [[Pr.191M]]. Initially, the plan was to mount the experimental PT-90 tank turret as the main cannon, but since the tank did not enter production, the boat received a [[D-56TS (76 mm)|76mm D-56TS]] tank gun, the same turret as the [[PT-76B]]. Production of the boat started in 1967, with a [[Pr.1204 late|further upgrade]] beginning in 1970. A total of around 118 Pr.1204s were built between 1967 and 1972. 56 boats were used by the Soviet Navy, while the remaining 62 were deployed by the Soviet Border Troops. Eventually, the Soviet Navy felt the boat was underperforming, and almost all were transferred to the Soviet Border Troops.

-In the game, this boat was introduced during [[Update 1.91 "Night Vision"]]. The boat performs similarly to its predecessor, the Pr.191 armoured boat, but it has better speed that makes it a little bit easier to move around the map. Its main cannon, the 76mm D-56TS, has both HE and APHE shells that can damage light and heavily armoured targets. It is also equipped with [[KPV (14.5 mm)|14.5mm KPV]] heavy machine guns, capable of destroying enemy boats with a well-placed shot in a short time. Additionally, it carries [[YAM-43 mine|YAM-43]] small coastal mines that can be used to block enemy paths to strategic points.

-The Pr.1204 (Or Shmel) class of river boats were developed in the mid 1960's as a successor to the USSR's aging fleet of WWII era river boats. 118 Shmel class river boats were built between 1967 and 1974. The boats were designed specifically to operate in shallow waters, such as rivers or littoral waters. The Shmel class was designed to support operations in rivers or or shallow water conditions such as denying waterway passages, protecting harbors supporting troop movements, as well as providing fire support form ship to shore scenarios.<ref name=":0">https://www.militaryfactory.com/ships/detail.asp?ship_id=shmel-class-artillery-gunboat-soviet-union</ref> As of 2017,several are still in service with the Russian Navy<ref name=":0" />, with at least 4 assigned to the Caspian fleet.
