Welcome to our channel. All the weapon systems are like books. They tell us their stories. The Weapon Detective investigates these books, reads between the lines, analyse, and tells the untold. At the dawn of the Second Cold War, the fruits of new projects give us clues about the future. But current weapon systems also have their own stories. In our videos, you can find technical information as well as historical backgrounds, what happened during the development processes, combat experience and political projection. While the Second Cold War rising, Let's investigate the weapons together.

These ships have a significant advantage that is not very obvious: their hull design! The deep V hull design is special optimised for very rough seas.

[@aking-plums6985]

It's nice to see a video about the Hellenic navy. Wouldn't it have been more appropriate to call these missile boats the grandson of Themistocles as his military exploits were naval whereas Leonidas's military exploits were more land based?

[@WeaponDetective]

Thanks for the nice comment. You are right about the title. But, the reason we refer to it as "the grandson of Leonidas in the sea" is that people know better about Leonidas and the Battle of Thermopylae. As you know, it is important for us that the title is attractive.

[@scarecrow2097]

true, Leonidas is a name more fitting to the armored forces, especially considering our homebrew apcs is literally called Leonidas II lol.

The Hellenic navy has been very satisfied with the Super Vitas. Although some thoughts for more ships were floating around, they have been dropped. Perhaps their RAM will be upgraded to block II in the future.

[@WeaponDetective]

We hope you enjoyed our video. We want to make more videos about Hellenic Armed Forces' systems. Do you have a special request in this regard?

[@player55redcrafter8]

Actually, one of the hamina class fast missile crafts of the finnish navy was integrated with torpedoes. I hope hellenic navy also integrates this ASW capability to the super vita class.

[@player55redcrafter8]

And other missile vessels

[@wilsondelosreyes5335]

This is the kind of fast attack missile boat that the Philippines should consider buying for its litoral defence and patrol. It is heavily loaded with arms and missiles.

[@nieljosephpalca7849]

Probably this ship will cost around Php 5 billion pesos

[@wilsondelosreyes5335]

Probably for all the 5 units.

[@scottgray3945]

These ships remind me of the Asheville class gunboats writ large.

Thousands of years of maritime tradition. The glorious Hellenic fleet. The only navy that had fought against the Nazi fleet in the entire Mediterranean in the Second World War, together with the British navy. The French navy had already surrendered. The navy that has always protected Europe from Turks, Persians, Nazis.

Do they have airdefence capabilities?Because if they do operations in the eastern Mediterranean without some kind of air defence capabilities then they'll be easy pickings for the turkish airforce.Plus the turks have probably the best drones going around in today's market.So these warships need necessary additional counter measure weaponry if their to survive in a hostile environment.

[@fujii_natsuooooo]

i think it's kinda slow for missiles boats but still better than indonesian KCR 60

[@billwhoever2830]

the future battlegroup will be: 2 Belhara (FDI) frigates 4 Rousen (S. Vita) missile boats 2 papanikolis (type 214) submarines

[@scarecrow2097]

it depends, if you mean future of 2030-50. 3 fdis 7 roussens (they most likely will start decommisioning only around 2040-50) 4 type 214 and maybe the one okeanos class 209 3 gowind (most likely corvette competition candidate) 3 hydra frigates 2-3 Kortenaers (until late 2030 at least) the la combattantes 3A/Bs will probably see their end around late 2030 too.
