Project history: Former Russian armour river boats-scouts, ordered in 1915 by War department and never served in the Russian Imperial Navy. They belonged to two very similar series built by "Vega-Bureau" at Borgo (Finland) and Revensky Factory in Odessa. Some boats in 1918 were captured by Austro-Hungarian troops, to the beginning of WWII three of them (1 built by Revensky and 2 by "Vega-Bureau") still remained as part of Hungarian Danube flotilla.
Ship protection: bullet-proof.
Modernizations: 1930s, all: engines were replaced by Ganz-Jendrassek (140hp, 13.5kts)
Naval service: Hüszar was lost in 1942 after internal explosion, the fate of remaining boats after 1944 is unknown.
