The Israeli navy held Leonardo’s 76/62 Super Rapido Multi-Feeding naval gun acceptance ceremony on board the Israeli Navy’s ship Oz/Magen Sa’ar 6 class, at the naval base of Haifa last week.
The 76/62 SR MF will deploy the corvettes’ air, anti-surface and anti-missile defense capabilities. The Israeli Navy procured four new guns now installed on board of new Sa’ar 6 corvettes and it is expected that advanced ammunition and more new guns will be procured in the coming years.
The Israeli Navy is one of the first worldwide users of the 76/62 Compact gun and six guns are still in operational condition and in use since 1973 on board of Nirit Saar 4.5 class missile boats.
Already chosen by more than 60 navies worldwide, the system stands out for its rate of fire of 120 rounds per minute, which allows it to face any type of scenario, from the air and anti-surface defense to anti-missile defense, and with its Multi – Feeding-loading system.
