-The '''{{Specs|name}}''' (NATO reporting name: Sheshen-class) was a Soviet motor torpedo gunboat developed in the late 1950s as a replacement for Project 183  "Bolshevik" motor torpedo boats. Project 206 was to be used near the friendly coast in good weather and under air cover. The Pr. 206 was 34.7 m in length, had a 6,7 m beam and a draught between 1,46 and 1,5 m. The propulsion was made of three M-503A diesel engines producing 4000 hp each, with every engine having its own propeller shaft. The engines allowed the ship to reach a maximum speed of 83 km/h. Primary armament consisted of two AK-230 CIWS at stern and bow aided by the MR-104 Rys track radar, the Shershen was also equipped with MR-102 Baklan search radar allowing searching for surface and air targets. The torpedo armament was composed of four 533 mm torpedo launchers with two tubes on each side of the hull. Additionally, 12 BB-1 depth charges or 6 mines could be carried. 87 Shershens were made for Soviet Navy with 10 boats being made in Yugoslavia for the local navy. A total of 123 ships were manufactured with over 30 being exported to foreign operators. One of the most prominent users of the Shershen was the East Germany Navy which operated 18 vessels until 1990, followed by 16 units operated by Vietnam and 14 by Yugoslavia.

-Project 206 was introduced during [[Update 1.79 "Project X"]] when the Soviet fleet was implemented into the game. The Pr. 206 boats had great manoeuvrability paired with above-average speed as well as very good torpedo armament. The 53-36 torpedoes found on the Shershen have a very high speed of 93 km/h, paired with an 8 km range with no torpedo mod equipped and 400 kg TNT Eq. warhead making them one of the most versatile torpedoes after the Japanese Type 93 Long Lance. Primary armament is also very strong due to the high fire rate of the rotary AK-230 cannons. The offensive power of the Pr.206 matches no other motor torpedo boat except some of the heavier armed frigates such as Köln or SKR-1.

 The Pr. 206 has access to '''BB-1 depth charges''', but these are all but useless in the current state of the game.
-Note: Near to the roll-off depth charge rack are 4 similar looking cylindrical objects in a side drop racks. These are actually MDSh smoke canisters (Морская дымовая шашка), which weight 40-45 kg, diameter 41 cm, and length of 48 cm. There are 3 versions of the identical canister, BDSh-5, BDSh-15 or MDSh.

 '''4-meter depth''' - This is the recommended depth when on deep water trying to do long range sneaky engagements to big ships (most of them have bulkheads more than 4 m under the waterline). This is one of the riskier techniques as there is no way to launch them on shallow waters (most shallow water maps have water depth of 2-3 m). Only the captain and the team will be able to see the torpedo symbol while traveling close to them, and it will not leave any visible water trail compared to the 1-meter depth torpedo.

 {{main|53-56 (533 mm)|BB-1 depth charge}}
-The Pr. 206 is armed with 4 single-tube torpedo launchers. These are your main weapon against heavily armoured threats or when doing sneak attacks at distance. They have a max range of 8 km (13 km with torpedo mode) and can be used at almost point-blank, the torpedo must travel 50 m at minimum to be armed (most of the time "point-blank" engagements will be between 100-500 m). Depending on the map, game mode and captain's discretion, torpedo depth can be adjusted in order to achieve multiple tasks. However, the launchers are fixed to the hull, meaning the hull has to be turned in order to launch the torpedoes.

 '''1-meter depth''' - This is the most universal depth used for all types of engagements, being in deep water or at shallow waters. This depth is capable of hitting all sorts of vessels, including PT boats. The main downside is that enemy ships can see the water trail made by the torpedo, which can make enemy vessels evade or fire at the torpedo.

 {{main|AK-230 (30 mm)}}
-The Pr. 206 is armed with 2 double-barrel turrets, the AK-230. These weapons have their pros and cons when it comes to facing ships and aircraft. While it is not able to destroy heavily armoured targets, it is able to decimate aircraft and lightly armoured targets within seconds because of their rate of fire. Due to having quadruple AK-230s, while having less rate of fire individually compared to the AK-630 (rate of fire is similar to the [[Falcon]] SPAA), it has a combined RPM of 2,400. Sadly, the only ammunition available is an HE/AP belt with an incendiary variant. As it only has a single AP round every 3 HE rounds, killing armoured targets will be tricky, but this is somewhat compensated by the RPM. The tremendous rotation speed (30°/s) make the turrets able to engage multiple targets one after each other with high speeds, they are also able to track and follow up even the fastest planes.
