@UKDefJournal A remotely controlled speed boat can’t replace a type 45 destroyer? Shocked…

@Trexxl @geoallison @UKDefJournal Its not a treasury enforced budget cut, rather, its a matter of strategic posturing - we’re going to have such good posture in the future.

@Trexxl @geoallison @UKDefJournal Stools which will be delivered in 2047 and cost 7 times what they were projected to

@MartinE33275784 @TBrit90 @BO3673 Correct. A ‘troop’ as in a single person.

@_james81 @AvaSantina It’s a legitimate shortfall of current UK electoral convention.

You could argue that indirect democracy requires constituents to elect a member of parliament who uses their own judgement to best advocate for the constituents interests, but in reality people vote for party’s.

@artyrizz @WayEvery1 @DefenseNigeria The uniforms say marine nationale which might be the source of the confusion.

@FennellJW @Leopard24theWin @ScottWa3023 Have you got a source for RJ10 having 1000KM range. That would sound achievable for TP15 but supersonic missiles with 1000KM are few and far between

@UKForcesTracker @hettie_w_small @HMSTrent @RoyalNavy Technically true but out of scope

@hettie_w_small @HMSTrent @UKForcesTracker @RoyalNavy It’s an OPV designed for constabulary work. In what world would it come into contact with Russian forces?

@WarTard @dogeinquirer @nicholadrummond Military historian ‘Wartard’ on Twitter claims to know better than the collective wisdom of all the strategic planners. You’re using daily mail sensationalist infographics.

@NoahGairn @CDNPolicyHawk What propulsion does it use and does it have a towed array?

[c @C0NNOR818]

@Gorio72163 @firearmvideos They can use different types of rounds. The naval version, Phalanx, favours tungsten rounds to punch holes in aircraft and missiles while this video shows the self destruct tracer rounds which are better suited for the ground version called Centurion.

[c @C0NNOR818]

@Gorio72163 @firearmvideos The rounds are rigged to self destruct after a certain distance even if they miss the target to prevent collateral damage. The explosions seen working down are the rounds detonating ordered based on when each round was fired.

@M_Yates_Az @navalnewscom @__CJohnston__ @USNavy Larger guns are less useful. NGFS is increasingly irrelevant and the 57mm offers superior CIWS defence against FIAC, Loitering Munitions, and Anti-ship missiles.

@DarrenWoodward @Matelot411758 @RugbyMan1865 @NavyLookout @EUNAVFORASPIDES @EtatMajorFR The problem is that software need updating and maintenance to keep it working which costs money, which the MOD is desperately short of right now. It’s unlikely they’ll restart support for it because the Royal Navy is transitioning to 57mm and 127mm which both have AA.

@Matelot411758 @RugbyMan1865 @NavyLookout @EUNAVFORASPIDES @EtatMajorFR Software support for it got cut in the 2010 strategic defence review

@Bill_Debuque @igorsushko The AK630s were probably long out of service. Maintaining and getting parts for six of them on a single ship isn’t easy.

@navalhistorian @JMSDF_PAO @JMUCorp @RoyalNavy CODLAD is interesting. How quiet are CODLAD ships in the acoustic signature department?
