Could you tell us if you know, the MIDAS will be identical to Mk41 or MIDAS can launch just G40 type mid-size missiles? For SIPER will be another launcher?
I hope the Bora missile has terminal-course maneuvering capability like the Iskender M missile to evade air defence systems. I would also like to see it to be as aerodynamic as possible to improve it’s terminal speed.
I don't know much about project itself, but there won't be much of modifications when Mk41 is replaced with MIDAS on I-Class, so we can be sure that the first introduced size will he able to handle G40 to Siper (judging from tactical length Mk41 size).
That person stopped being a insider long time ago, nowadays he is more worried about protecting certain establishments from the backlash that comes with years of delay of projects. Funny enough he seems to have forgotten all about the shady railgun project he was advertising two years ago almost daily on his page. Dude is a big fat phony nothing more nothing less. People should have realised it when he was trying to erase Anka's participation in the offensive against Assad and Iranian Militia in february.
Looks like it was Chaff launcher.
But with placing such containers on a Ada-class corvette means no SH-60 Seahawk helicopters and they are force multipliers for Ada-class in ASW warfare and ASUW (anti surface).A while ago there were tests with artillery missiles from boats.
Do we or should we have a program to make container launchers for AD missiles?
Most of our ships have now the Genesis command system, how about making the ships AD missile ready?
Ships like Milgem for instance do not have AD missiles but there is room behind the main gun to place one or two containers.
Something like Northrop Gruman's container missile launcher that could be attached to a pre-configured spot on for instance a Milgem corvette that can be equiped with say Hisar-O or G40 missiles in times of need.
In peace times no need for AD missiles, in war time you simply place one or two container giving the ship an extra pair of teeth

If containers are placed on the helipad you're right, but if placed behind the main cannon it won't hinder helicopters
TB2 has become their nightmare...
In fact those modules compromises the volume under the deck, you need to spare enough volume for several applications, even with the shallowest one (ie. SSM missiles) that volume is occupied, and thus useless. It is the cheaper way of providing modularity which results in inefficiency. I still don't understand why would someone strive for modular payloads on 5000+ tonnes frigate.TB2 has become their nightmare...
Jokes aside.
Iver Huitfeldt-class frigate - Wikipedia

Built up on modules, making it easier to configure. And looking at how Multi-Role seems to be flavor of the year. We should consider whether it'll fit our doctrine. Indonesia went with Iver.
It still has deck penetration and support structure around the module (where it is plugged in)
