I found the Swedish boat, it looks like it. It would be nice to see it's performance stats. Cute boat.

Henry240:

Well we have ten V boats with 8 operational

But seriously though I have no idea, this thing has flown completely under the radar

Most unfortunate. Andrewza should know a thing or two.

there are a number of boats operated by the SANDF not on any site. Remember sites like Wikipedia are controlled by people not the government. The river patrol boats are based in Durban and just like the Xena boats don't see much serves since they where not built for patrolling our waters both boats are for in the event SA needs to patrol inland waters like we did in Burindie They being purchased under Project Carol that has seen a number of boats join the Navy with out any fan fair or ceremony.

o specs based on similar options that look and do the same think from veercraft and KND (the two who have done the most work for these boats) and from what I can see. It has 2 Hamilton water jets and could hit 30 to 40 knts flat bottom and water jets are needed for inland waters.

Well, from the videos i've seen of the Kirpri, after an IED attack, they always seem to blow up to shreds.
