All four vessels of the Hamina-class are set to overhauled and modernized as part of the Mid-Life Upgrade (MLU) by 2021, bringing new capabilities to the Finnish Navy. Local defense company Patria acts as the prime contractor, designer and the lead system integrator.
According to Patria, the goal of the Mid-Life Upgrade project is to secure the service life of the vessels until 2030’s and to extend the vessels’ independent operation time. The project will also develop the Anti-Submarine Warfare (ASW) and the surface defence capabilities with new features.
Modernization work include:
A BAE Systems Bofors 40 Mk4 40mm main gun (replacing the 57mm Mk3)
IAI Gabriel V anti-ship missile
Saab Torpedo 47
Saab trackfire remote weapon stations
Saab 9LV combat management system
Kongsberg ST2400 variable depth sonar

With this MLU, the Hamina-class will have a fair share of commonality with the future Pohjanmaa-class corvettes of the Finnish navy.

Because of heavy load İ adore Hamina class as same as people are interested in defense . For me the Hamina has always been good example for our YTKBs.
She has 8 cells Umkhonto SAM, 4 RBS , torpedo launcher and powerful 3D radar.
