@JLizard31@gwgerrond@LegasovAnalytic Also, they want it to serve as a floating command post, with better communications and c4, and be the lead ship in absence of a carrier. So it's supposed to command smaller vessels like destroyers, frigates, not replace them entirely
@JLizard31@gwgerrond@LegasovAnalytic Lasers, railguns, hypersonic missiles and magazine depth. Nuclear generation, if installed, adds virtually unlimited range and greater speed, so it gets on the deployment area faster and is a better escort for a nuclear carrier
@HimarsoClock@BrandonA503@LegasovAnalytic Burkes are stretched thin regarding power generation. There's no capacity left on them to install anything new without taking out some other vital system
@TheIntelFrog It's supposed to be a test bed for new technologies like lasers and railguns which consume huge amounts of power and require a big ship, so not a classical battleship. It will also field new balistic hypersonic missiles which are pretty big.
@Jimmy4408678261@Osint613 Could be possible. Though maybe he's indeed been alive all this time but in a coma. Certainly, though, he's not been the guy in charge since his father died, so it remains a misery which people are in charge of Iran right now
@Chris3Sand@sentdefender You cannot win wars decisively with cheap drones and small platforms. Those are good for carrying out asymmetric warfare, and fulfill certain strike roles. Big platforms like carriers and destroyers are still quite relevant
@SSampson1776@sentdefender That's a stupid metric. Following that logic, a surface to air missile is much cheaper than an f35. Should we just replace all f35 with SAM? It's about the capabilities that the platform brings. If it fulfills a purpose, you just protect it from external threats
@kAIbold_gens It's not really jizz ... It's supposed to be uric acid, the white stuff produced by birds and reptiles to eliminate nitrogen waste instead of liquid urine. I brought maybe too much biological realism to it, I know!
@helicotter@RadarSpain Llevan años volando. Por lo menos desde 2022 que empecé a seguirlos. Muy de vez en cuando también se ve, y se escucha, un Antonov 12 de Cavok. Estos antes eran más habituales que ahora. Quizás por la guerra de Ucrania se están quedando sin repuestos
@AntonioMHE@MemoriasPez El gobierno dirige la política interior y exterior, por lo que el rey está atado de manos en el tema. Si le dicen que vaya a un sitio va, si no no. Es lo que impone nuestra constitución, el rey es una especie de marioneta institucional
