F/A-18 E/F :Out of curiosity, how many exocet Rafale could actually equip???
Kinda confused since some source said 2 missiles, while other said only 1...
And how it compared to for example F-18E/F or Mig-29???
Air forces are cheaper and could delivers more than a surface navy. A single SIGMA could buy you up to 173 JASSM cruise missile or 146 Harpoons.Air power is great but it is also expensive just like navy ships are expensive.
The limited mobility of shore based installations meant that your enemy has the luxury of choosing when and where to fight.If you just need to defend then land based anti-ship missiles work fine as an area denial strategy and are much cheaper to deploy in large numbers.
Oh come on, don't ever assume our foe are dumb enough to do the same mistake just because Russia is horrible with their navies.Ukraine sunk a Russian Cruiser a few months ago with just two modernized versions of soviet anti-ship missiles. Russian ships now stay far away from the Ukrainian coast because of the fear of Ukrainian anti-ship missiles.
Now ask yourself, does Ukraine somewhat just magically found the Moskva out of the hundreds of ships in the Black sea ?Ukraine is a poor country with a very small airforce and no navy to speak of yet it has been able to keep the Russian navy at bay.
There are 2 frigate projects between PAL and Babcock
1. Frigate Merah Putih = 2units
2. Frigate Nasional 143 meters = ?
The question is when this will be started, only time could tell.
A single Rafale cost around 100 million euroes. So a single SIGMA could buy you maybe 4 Rafales.Air forces are cheaper and could delivers more than a surface navy. A single SIGMA could buy you up to 173 JASSM cruise missile or 146 Harpoons.
Btw, this is probably cheaper solution.
$250,000 price tag per USV that the website says includes a ground-based, autonomous control station, a transportation and storage system, and a data processing center.

SameHave I been drunk all this time? I thought they are all the same.
Yes, and unlike a SIGMA, a fighter jet could detect first, fires its payload, RTB and do the same thing over and over again.A single Rafale cost around 100 million euroes. So a single SIGMA could buy you maybe 4 Rafales.

Nettuno 4100 for PT DRU 90m OPV ???
good they can messed up with northern dragon white hull fleet comms and radar system in natuna someday.

Easier and cheaper to operate maybe?Also.
Rudal Anti Kapal Atmaca Akan Dipasang di OPV 90 TNI AL
Rudal anti kapal Atmaca buatan Roketsan, Turki, namanya ikut terangkat dalam ajang Indo Defence 2022. Selain sebelumnya dikabarkan telah dilirik TNI AL, siaran pers dari Kementerian Pertahanan RI juga telah menyiratkan adanya potensi kerja sama atas akuisisi rudal Atmaca. Tapi perlu dicatat, ini...www.indomiliter.com
Why did Indonesia need OPV in frist place ? With 90m it was close enough with Sigma 91m size or BTM class Corvette
Less triggered classification, the opv will deliver heavier punch than exocet at KRI REMneed OPV
Because we have wide area to patrol?Also.

much better than Nettuno ?ZEUS RECM/RESM,

Well, it's hard to say for things like these where most of the detailed spec are classified, best I can say is 'comparable'.much better than Nettuno ?
Can't agree more.air power plays a crucial role
For now only Sukhois has AShM. F16 doesnt have harpoon. For the upcoming Rafale with exocet and maybe mirage 2000 could do the same.
