You dont get it or dont want to get it.do you?
It is a must not a choice we have to make it,it is of existential importance.
Doesnt matter what people say about the TF35K engine,it will be ready before 2030.
The problem is that we dont have the luxury to send 2 TF-2000's with the battle/strike group,we need a frigate like the Italian Multipurpose Combat Ship Raimondo Montecuccoli.
''If they decide'' is not good enough.
Dont we need the 4/5k ton frigates if we want to become a ''blue water'' navy?
Lets face it ,TF-2000 alone wont cut it.
AC,2 TF-2000,1/2 Milden,1 LSS and then what?
The old OHP's?
How to form a battle group?
That would be needed if the other side had an air defence and fighter jets of the same tier.
But lets just say that we agree to disagree and leave it at that.
