It should be configurable by customer needs.Could it be that 1 set is fitted for but not with?
Love the concept, filled to the brim with with weaponry, just the way I like it
64 VLS but two AKR Block A2 and no AKREP CWI, no X band AESA MFR. Main radar looks like Mar-D MkII same as OPV.
Agree. A 3600 tonnes frigate with 64 VLS doesn’t make sense. You’ll need at least 4000 tonnes plus for decent endurance64 VLS but two AKR Block A2 and no AKREP CWI, no X band AESA MFR. Main radar looks like Mar-D MkII same as OPV.
What to do with 64 VLS if sensors are these? This is not a frigate, this is an obese OPV.
Another 'rushed' concept for IDEF.
I have my doubts about that.Can be easily intercepted like those Storm Shadows in Ukraine
Brother, ruskies are barely intercepting 5% of the storm shadowsCan be easily intercepted like those Storm Shadows in Ukraine.
No ones been able to stop something that comes their way at Mach 20-something in a reliable and effective manner yet. That's why having nuclear-tipped ICBM's carries a special weight in the world arena.
Granted, Naval launched anti-ship ballstic missiles do not reach Mach-20's, but they certainly do go at Mach-5 and more (reportedly, in the case of China's YJ-21, Mach-10) therefore the argument sticks.
This missile is 25+ old technology.Brother, ruskies are barely intercepting 5% of the storm shadows
Which makes 100 percent of the times they had a competent crew at hand.Brother, ruskies are barely intercepting 5% of the storm shadows
Absolutely new era of USVs. İt is showing urgency of countermeasures such as Vertical Launched naval Hellfires and AESA radars.
The customer for this concept could be a Gulf country.
concerning USVs we are not in danger, we are the danger!Absolutely new era of USVs. İt is showing urgency of countermeasures such as Vertical Launched naval Hellfires and AESA radars.
Whitout AESA radars, any warship could detect those surface vessels.
I wonder how could the warship deter 8 USVs enemy if she had ARDA radars?
76mm main gun? Harpoons? 25mm autocannon?
Seems more compact than Göksur.
Maybe VLSs are for MİCA which is lighter, cheaper, narrower?
