Comments

This is an in-depth update of the existing RF-33 Kotor. The Kotor class of ships were regarded as the most modern surface combatants stationed in the Adriatic Sea. While it was indeed inspired by the Koni class, the Kotor class isn't a copy. The entire design, the dimensions and configuration of ship compartments are mostly different. The Kotor doesn't have the second AK-726 gun on the stern. This extra room would originally have been used for torpedo launchers, but this upgrade never came to fruition.
