The Project 58155 Gurza-M class is a series of small armored artillery boats building for the Ukrainian Navy. The first two vessels were laid up at the Leninska Kuznya (later Kuznya na Rybalskomu) shipbuilding plant in October 2012.[1] Originally it was planned to build nine such vessels by 2017. In December 2013 the Ministry of Defense withdrew its contract.

In summer 2014 construction of Gurza-M was revived and the first two vessels were launched in fall 2015.[2] In December 2016 they officially joined the Ukrainian Navy.[3] The new military contract for 20 vessels is to be completed by 2020.[3]
