The Super Dvora Mk III is the latest generation of the proven Dvora family of fast patrol boats (FPB) and fast attack craft (FAC). Manufactured by the Ramta division of Israel Aerospace Industries (IAI), it is designed for a variety of offshore and littoral missions. These include coastal defense, counter-terrorism, anti-smuggling, and enforcement of Exclusive Economic Zones (EEZ). Technical Specifications : It features an overall length of 27.4 meters (90 feet) and a displacement of approximately 50 to 70 tons.Speed: Capable of exceeding speeds of 40 to 50 knots (93 km/h; 58 mph), making it highly effective for interception. Range & Endurance: Offers an operational range of up to 1,500 nautical miles at economic speeds, with a standard four-day mission endurance. Crew Capacity: Designed with advanced human engineering to comfortably accommodate up to 12 crew members. Propulsion Options: The vessel's hull geometry ensures stability and dry decks during high-speed chases across rough sea states. It utilizes two main propulsion configurations:Articulated Surface Drives (ASD): Thrust-vectoring control surface drives allow operations in shallow littoral waters with minimal drafts of just 1.2 meters. Waterjets: Select configurations swap surface drives for heavy-duty waterjets to maximize high-speed maneuverability. Armament & Payload: The platform is heavily modular, allowing operators to transition it from a standard gunboat into a precision missile platform: Main Guns: Typhon or Rafale or Elbits system stabilized remote weapon stations hosting 25 mm to 30 mm automatic cannons. Secondary Weapons: Heavy machine guns, automatic grenade launchers, and precision fire measures.Missiles: Capabilities to integrate precision surface-to-surface or surface-to-air missiles, including SPIKE NLOS or AGM-114 Hellfire missiles. Known Global Operators : Due to its reliability and low life-cycle maintenance costs, the class has been widely exported: Israel: The Israel Navy relies on the Mk III as a core component of its coastal security and strategic asset protection. International Fleets: Active in several militaries globally, with confirmed deliveries or orders to nations such as Angola, Myanmar, and Sri Lanka. - @mjm.96
