ns100 radar ? (but its look small). maybe covered smart-s radar
more vls, the gun looks like the oto melara strales variant, new large mission bay and on the back looks like a RAM missile (i think).
also i think it might be longer than 10514
some say that this contract not for KSS-I (especially some page from ig), i don't know where they got their sources but as far as i know only KSS-I that got the contract signed, the 214 and scorpene still in negotiation phases, right?
any opinion about this ? or im getting it wrong here?
there's a rumor lately about type 31 frigate were on the table or they misinterpret babcock involvement in iver program as an offering for their type 31,
any opinion about that?
its better to change shift with new aircraft than make a single jet do "mondar mandir".
its mean less wear to the aircraft and it also give chance for the crew to have a rest on the ground.
if the base aircraft is bombardier global then range wouldn't be an issue considering the civilian version got about 10.000+ km of range (maybe less due to drag after we added radar)
but yea aerial refueling would be nice addition
CMIIW here
from what i read, i think the deal with scytalys is about the general system design while this deal Rohde and Schwarz and len is about producing communication equipment that were going to be use in those system.
considering they are both from nato country, can we integrate weapon system to each other (even though we need spend some money and modification to the plane to integrate it).
for example can we integrate ammram to the rafale or can we put meteor to F15 (if we want to buy meteor), can rafale...
lithium were denser than lead-acid so it can store more mean longer range and got smaller packaging/size than lead-acid.
lithium also got better charging time than lead-acid and the price is going down right now considering the transition to electrification and more R&D spend to make lithium...
we started to replacing our PASGT helmet to MICH one who already got rail on them (atleast on our frontline troops for now), so there's no need to add attachment to our old PASGT helmet
man that submarine list is not make any sense at all, they got 214, kssi (that chang bogo right?) and scorpene they basically the same (in term of weight and role), why not just pick one and be done with it.
also what is multirole full combat, new patrol plane or helicopter?
from the picture and video [that were available], i think we kinda under equip to fight there, there is no scope on the rifle, there is no LMG to do suppressive fire (Correct me if i'm wrong here), their movement kinda erratic like they don't know what to do.
do we do something like...
is SS2-V1 going to get handguard update too or just V5 and V2 only?
also is it better to replace 18 Inch SS2-V1 in favor of 16 inch SS2-V2? i know 5.56 perform better with longer barrel but how much performance lost if we use 16 inch barrel compared to 18 inch?
maybe, but 40 mm is the trend now.
or we can use 40mm CTA, that saved more space than regular 40mm, but i think CTA is to complicated and expensive for our armed forces
