I was a radist in Turunma during the sailing season in 1980. A great place to military service. Shooting the main weapon was felt in the whole ship. We visited Kiel. During the Navy Week, there were ships from many countries. Turunmaa was one of the smallest ships, but probably had the largest main gun (120 mm).
Great content. Could you do a report on the Swedish built patrol boats that were built for the Trinidad and Tobago Coast Guard. Two Spica class variants CG40 built at the Karlskrona ship yard in 1979 - 1980. TTS Barracuda and TTS Cascadura.
A wonderful video about Turumaa class corvette..battleships for Finland 🇫🇮 naval forces..video clearly explained all characteristics of this battleship..also video clearly explained progressing steps of Finland 🇫🇮 navy and political background of these upgrade steps of Finland 🇫🇮 navy, thanks ( weapon detective)channel for sharing this video
Thanks for your interest. Our team has extensive knowledge of weapon systems. As you may have noticed, in a series, we are making six videos each involving air, land and sea systems, respectively. Before starting a series, we decide on the systems of the next series and start detailed study. This gives us a runtime of roughly six weeks for each system. As you may see, we use all six weeks for six videos, not one video. There are also changes that we make at the last moment according to the current events. Naturally, this reduces the preparation time.
For coast patrols you dont need a big missile punch. A real patrol boat isn't supposed to engage a large surface vessel anyway just report an incursion
The design makes sense in the context of defending a large coastal area with not enougth budget to maintain large ships in meaningfull number; packing a decent gun on a small hull, yet with smaller (and more agile) weapons allow it to have all the basic capacities, though it would not survive a major engagement on its own; it would still have the capacity to deal damages before geting destroyed, so it at least deters a little from the conflict, while it can travel a decent distance as well. Howether, it has become obsolete in regard to stealth technology, so it still makes sense when getting hiden is not important (anti pirate missions? escort of civilians, show of/assert presence yet without asserting a high level of threat).
The 23mm gun is air-cooled. Honestly, we could reach any reliable information about the tubes on the barrel. But, we know that the ZU-23-2MR Wróbel-II, the Polish naval version, is water-cooled.
Bofors 57mm rocket flare rails. Potentially could fire chaff rockets as well. A common feature on Bofors 40mm and particularly 57mm gun mounts in the 60's and 70's.
How many torpedoes can they fit onto that thing? I'm quite surprised to see an ASW ship this small, but if NATO calls it a corvette then Putin's baltic fleet subs better watch out! Edit: ok, so no torpedoes, but enough rockets to keep the russians on their toes. Not bad for a ship of her size.
the Scandinavian naval forces of Northern Europe needs to change with time, reform & re evaluate priorities because this ain't the Cold War anymore . . . what this is second Cold War in the making which is about to be even worse than the first one . . . the Viking navies seriously needs to up their game because their adversaries sure are . . . the ongoing 2022 Russian-Ukraine War is solid proof of that in present day situation, post 2020 it's time to go beyond territorial waters because if the Scandinavians don't their adversaries will . . .
If you're referring to the Turumaa vessel, it has been decommissioned for the last twenty years. Highly recommend looking up Nordic Navy's vessels, they're high quality and more than capable to do their job. But the problems lies in the amount of those vessels..
I mean okay its a gunboat... nothing special. A few ASM (Anti-ship missiles) would knock it out of the water, and a fast boat swarm would.. swarm it.. drones would pulverize it. So... ?
This was in late 60s/early 70s.. There wasn't such things as drones.. The Turunmaa was more than capable of dealing with small boats and light targets...Did you even watch or listen to the video? You should know what made this "special". Maybe you should have listen to the video more carefully rather than jumping in to conclusions. And also The Turunmaa class was decommissioned in 2000...
It was in service from 1969-2002, so of course it is useless now. Missile launchers were not that common at the time it was designed. Hamina class is now in service.
@@uncletimo6059 Did you even watch the whole video??? He clearly stated that it was almost instantly outdated when it was taken into service and specialities it had in that time. And they were decommissioned over 20 years ago..
