Sa'ar 4.5-class missile boat | The small surface combatant with huge armoury

We are investigating the Sa'ar 4.5-class fast attack craft and its subclasses, Aliya-class, Hetz-class, and Huracán-class. #saar45 #missileboat #israelinavy
Why did the Israeli Navy need a surface combatant with the aviation facilities in the 1980s?
Why did Israel terminate the Aliya-class construction programme and shift to the Hetz-class?
What are the capabilities of the weapon and electronic systems of the Sa'ar 4.5-class?
What are the operational experiences of these boats?

Welcome to our new content. As the Weapon Detective, we are investigating modern weapon systems of the Second Cold War. The Weapon Legends is about older weapon systems. In our videos, we tell their epic stories which made them a legend. The Weapon Legends investigates these stories, reads between the lines, analyse, and tells the untold. In our videos, you can find technical information as well as historical backgrounds, what happened during the development processes, combat experience and political projection. Let the wisdom of history show us what the future would be like. Let’s investigate the veteran weapons of the past together.

[@reserva120]

is the New 72 meter boat the follow on to the 4.5 Saar's???

[@WeaponDetective]

If Israel find the budget

[@lil__boi3027]

@@reserva120 it would be a reshef helicopter carrying class missile boat(76 meter) based on the saar-72, it's confirmed to be made

[@lil__boi3027]

@@WeaponDetective great vid from israel! , I am very happy you mentioned the aliya subclasses commanding and helicopter ship I know a guy who was in the design and planning team for the now decommissioned saar 3, if you have any questions or interested on doing a vid about the historical saar 3 I can talk to him Also can you do vids on the saar-5 and saar-6? And maybe the dulphin class subs?

[@trenschan1650]

Weapon Detective, I enjoy your videos, and if I may, I'd like to suggest for you to improve the "narator voice" so it'd be pretty much like those in discovery or BBC or history channels.. I think It'd boost your channel popularity and in the same time improve its enjoyableness. Many thanks before, appreciate your hardwork

[@aridorot2371]

I served as a weapons control operator and commander aboard the INS Konemiut, a Sa’ar 4 classduring the late 90s. Very good video and well researched

[@habahan4257]

The skipper of a Kılıç-class missile boat of the Turkish Navy told me that the Sa'ar 4.5s were the boat they dreaded most in the Eastern Mediterranean. Good technical analysis.

[@lil__boi3027]

Did he said anything more about israeli navy vassel capabilities? Also was it the air defence capability of the saar-4.5 that he seen as the most problematic?

[@pratyushojha]

But are Turkey and Israel enemies who can go to war. I remember that the Turkey's M 60 were updated using IMI Sabra upgrade package.

[@habahan4257]

@@pratyushojha Of course, they are not going to war. But, these two countries have problems over the EEZ. Their boats have involved naval dogfights from time to time.

[@pratyushojha]

@@habahan4257 it was something I was ignorant of. Thanks.

[@habahan4257]

@@lil__boi3027 He mostly praised its high acceleration capability and manoeuvrability. But to him, the scariest feature of the Sa'ar 4.5 is that its electronic jammers render the radars and communication systems of other boats unusable.

[@flogger8413]

As always quality researched video and not a robot voice, your voice is just calming as hell

[@well-blazeredman6187]

Beautiful and well-armed ships.

[@3pleblow]

This ship looks amazing.

[@Krypton1996]

Please make a story about israeli Super Dvora Mk.3.

[@andreasleonardo6793]

Too nice video about saara 4,5 missiles boat of Israel's coast garrison naval forces in addition of several versions with more progressive abilities of those versions...also its founding in other countries...video clearing all characteristics of these saar 4,5 missiles boat too enjoyment video thanks for sending

[@blackberrymw]

Fantastic video with a lot of footage that I haven't seen until now, Israeli Navy and Israeli Navy actions in the 73 War are fascinating.

[@gregzeng]

So many suppliers for military hardware. It'd be interesting to compare the manufacturers from the nations, on the competitiveness, sales & products. This is done internally by each national government. Are there any public resources for these industries, which are one of the biggest on the planet, currently?

[@db417]

Do an episode on the JF17

[@eltorni]

Ojala resubas el video y mejores el audio. Me encanta ese diseño

[@cristiancervantescardenas4759]

Could you make a video about the ARM Reformador, the brand new frigate of the Mexican Navy based on the Sigma design of Damen Shipyards?G Greetings from Mexico

[@WeaponDetective]

Thanks for your interest. We add the Sigma-class vessel to our list. We will prepare a video as soon as possible.

[@AirSoftFreak1912]

Saar 5???

[@robertosovietunion7567]

Israel build more Sa'ar class patrol vessel and just like South Korea they more Littoral Combat Shore or LCS and for potential state client

[@MaxKrumholz]

It was upgraded with 32 Barak and Now to Barak8 and for Gabriel 4 maybe - Beginning in the mid-2020s, the Israeli Navy plans to replace the Sa'ar 4.5 boats with the future Reshef-class ships. These 76-metre (249 ft 4 in) long vessels will be based on Israel Shipyards' Sa'ar 72-class corvette design.

[@ParallelComparison]

Do you mean the Saar 4.5 has 32 Barak 8 missiles now?

[@sevkuthankurak3637]

Is it English or Turkglish?

[@halimtalafuka9946]

Halim Talafuka,Alhamdulillahirobbil Alamiin,Allahumma Amiin......

[@mediviclozada4027]

Too small to patrol the philippine EEZs

[@JStefanA]

I'd rather have the Philippines operate at least twelve of these rather than investing heavily in more Incheon-Class derivatives.

[@neosho6428]

Yes, small but deadly.

[@valerianocuomo996]

Zattera

[@garyhewitt489]

Yes a modern day USS LIBERTY wouldn't stand a chance would it.

[@lil__boi3027]

Good

[@TheAsakararen]

Because the us navy has never accidentally attacked the wrong target
