SAAR class missile corvette Video Clip No.1 (4.07M) High-speed performance: Her speed record is 2.91 m per second, equal to 40 knots. It takes her 17.18 seconds to finish 50 meters. Video Clip No.2 (5.22M)   Capacity of continuous sailing: With 3000 mAh rechargeable battery package she can run continuously at full speed (40 knots) for 40 minutes, indicating a high sailing efficiency. Video Clip No.3 (2.81M)   Stability: It takes approximately 7.4 - 7.5 seconds for her to make a 360 degrees gyration during high-speed running, the radius of which is about 3.6 m, only 4 times as long as the overall length of the model, indicating her high maneuverability. Video Clip No.4 (2.38M) Seakeeping capacity——Surfing the avy water: Not all models can survive from rough waters. Yet this SAAR class scale model boat possesses seaworthiness as good as the prototype. She can swerve and make 360 degrees gyration at full speed. In waves as high as 3 m in scale (actual height 60 mm) she can still keep high-speed sailing, when you'll see the bow split out a spray of water even higher than the bridge, and she is still running safely and proudly on the surfy water. Aroused by the two transom flaps, the two transparent water walls are like silver twin-wings, swinging up and down. Video Clip No.5 (985k)   Easy controllability and agility: No matter in rough waters, peaceful lakes, or wavy lakes, you can always steer her bravely going forward or tracing a hunting track, just follow your inclinations.   R/C aiming MGs and missile launchers: The radio-control system of the boat manages not only the turning of the rudder, shift of the motor as well as advance and backing the model, but also the rotation of the main MG, missile launchers, scouting radar, optical conductor and the gunner. By R/C the fore-and-aft main MGs can make turn and pitching, the optical conductor, scouting radar and missile launchers ORION can make aiming activities. All the above mentioned complicated motions are operated with common two-channel radio device. Do you believe it? Night navigation lights: As you wish, we can make the signal lamp, navigation flare and bridge lamp light. We can also add an indoor lamp in the navigation space to beacon the bluejackets and equipment on the controlling desk. Rotary radar: The mast head Nereus scouting radar is rotary.

placement 220 t, speed 40 knots,

four MD871 diesel engines,total power 13,500 hp, four-shaft propulsion.

Features:

SAAR class missile corvette is semi- hydroplane.

Many of her features make her an outstanding one among ships of same type.

Compared with common missile vessels, she owns stronger aggressiveness,

longer sailing range, higher endurance, better seaworthiness,

higher cruising speed, better missile defence capacity

as well as better electronic device.

Armament:

Five GOBRIEL ship-to-ship missile launchers, two BOFORS 40L70 MGs.

SAAR in the history:

In Oct. 1967 the Middle East war, the Israeli destroyer

was hit by Egyptian STYX missiles of missile boat and sank down.

Israel learned its lesson from it and developed SAAR class

which was low cost, easy to be volume constructed

as well as suitable for teaming fight.

A series of　SAAR class boats then became the backbone of the Israeli Navy.

SAAR class II was designed by German Lurssen shipyard

in the middle of the 60’s,

then was shifted and constructed by French Normandy shipyard in Cherbourg,

was commissioned in the Israeli Navy from the 70’s.

There are twelve boats of SAAR class II,

namely 311 Mivtach, 312 Miznach, 313 Mifgav, 321 Eilath,

322 Haifa, 323 Akko, 331 Saar, 332 Soufa, 333 Gaash,

341 Herev, 342 Hanit, 343 Hetz.

In 1973, the 4th Middle East War, the Israeli army sent out

a squadron of SAAR class missile boat to strike three missile boats,

one torpedo boat, one minelayer of Syria.

As a result, all the Syriac boats were destroyed while the Israelis got no damage at all.

In the consequent warfares, the Israelis kept the weather repeatedly.

The missile boat established its strategic position with its being short,

agile and capable during this first ship-to-ship missile

joining in a battle in the history of sea fight.

From the result of the war, many countries learned that

it could both reduce military expenditure and boost the national power

by adopting missile boats as key member

and flexible sea guerrillaism as leading tactics.

The country who is a cut above others in missile boat technology holds mastery of the sea.
