The US Department of Defense (US DoD) announced the transfer of three types of boats to Ukraine in June 2022. It intended to provide the Ukrainian Navy with two 35-foot "small river vessels", six 40-foot Defiant-class patrol vessels, and 10 34-foot Dauntless Sea Ark patrol boats.

The Dauntless is the fastest high-performance model. It features a deep V variable deadrise hull from Ray Hunt Design that is ideal for offshore operations.

This is a hull that planes easily; its wide chines and lifting strakes produce a smooth, dry, and stable ride. It also steers reliably in waves, both upwind and down. These characteristics are greatly appreciated by the crew that must respond quickly, in any weather conditions.

She is a 34-foot aluminum boat manufactured by US Watercraft with a 750-horsepower power plant. The boat is capable of carrying up to seven tons of cargo. The Ukrainian boat of this type is equipped with three points for machine guns or 40-mm automatic grenade launchers.

The first river division on the Dnieper was announced by the Navy Commander in June. According to Oleksiy Neizhpapa, it was formed in March. The division is subordinated to the Kyiv Defense Forces to provide support to the forces in the riverine operational areas near the Dnieper.
