We are investigating the Sa'ar 4.5-class fast attack craft and its subclasses, the Aliya class, Hetz class, and Huracán class. #israelinavy #missileboat #warship

Due to copyright issues, we re-uploaded the updated version of our Sa'ar 4.5 class video.

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 the older weapon systems. We tell their epic stories, which made them a legend. The Weapon Legends investigates these stories, reads between the lines, analyzes, and tells the untold. You can find technical information, historical backgrounds, what happened during the development processes, combat experience and political projection. Let the wisdom of history show us what the future will be. Let’s investigate the veteran weapons of the past together.
