Super Dvora Mk III-class patrol boat

The Super Dvora Mark III class is the latest generation of the Dvora family of fast patrol boats or fast attack craft, manufactured by IAI Ramta from 2004. The boats can reach about 50 knots in littoral waters thanks to thrust vectoring Articulated Surface Drives, and they can carry weapons ranging from automatic grenade launchers and 30 millimetre cannons to Hellfire and Spike NLOS missiles. Propulsion is two Detroit Diesel MTU 12V-4000 engines, 3,113 kilowatts in total, driving two Arneson surface drives, which allow operation in water about 1.2 metres deep for special forces delivery and disaster relief. Displacement varies from 58 to 72 tons depending on the operational package. Operators include Israel with 13 boats, Sri Lanka with six, Angola, and Myanmar, which ordered six.
