Finland Deploys Israeli Gabriel-5 Missile
(Jerusalem Post) Anna Ahronheim - The Finnish Navy has officially placed the Israeli-made Gabriel-5 missile into operational service after a series of extensive exercises. The Gabriel-5 has been installed on board the Hamina-class fast-attack missile boats, significantly expanding the Finnish Navy's strike capabilities. Manufactured by Israel Aerospace Industries, the missile has combined anti-ship and land attack capabilities with a range of 300 km. at high speed. The missile does not fly in a straight line toward its target, making it difficult to detect and hit. It also features sea-skimming capabilities that make it difficult for radars to detect and intercept.
