Israeli defense system – corvette supplied from Germany

The Israeli Navy has been equipped with ships from Germany in recent years, including four corvettes of the SAAR 6 class, which had been ordered from Thyssenkrupp Marine Systems (TKMS). The last of the approximately 90 -meter long and 13 meter wide ships had arrived in Haifa in 2021. Israel equips the corvets with radar and weapon systems.

The Israeli rocket boats were still stationed together with the Air Force in all areas of application and “acted as a strategic amplifier in protecting Israeli airspace,” said the army./le/dp/mis
