Super Dvora Mk II-I

The Super Dvora Mk II is a high-speed patrol boat designed for coastal defense, anti-terror, and anti-smuggling missions. It is known for its advanced combat systems and ability to operate effectively in various maritime environments.

Developed by Israel Aerospace Industries (IAI) Ramta in the mid-1990s, the Super Dvora Mk II was designed to succeed earlier patrol craft and counter evolving asymmetric maritime threats, particularly fast-attack boats and terrorist infiltration. The vessel officially entered service with the Israeli Navy in 1996, featuring improved propulsion and thrust-vectoring systems for superior maneuverability. It saw significant combat deployment during the Sri Lankan Civil War, where it was utilized by the Sri Lankan Navy to counter Sea Tiger guerrilla boats, and has been actively deployed by Israel in border security operations along the Gaza Strip and Lebanon. Today, the Mk II remains in active service worldwide, having established a highly successful legacy of littoral interception that paved the way for the subsequent Mk III variant.
