That second video is great! Particularly like the tour of the vehicle ramps. I always tried to find good details of the vehicle ramp when she was in RN service but never did. There is a lot of content on Youtube about her. The Brazilian navy always holds naval exercises, and when they are over, the...

All A330 from RAF and AirTanker are MRTT? Or some are only transporters?

Thanks!

About KC-330 for Brazil: "The RN Officer, in a very relaxed way, started his answer with a question: "Do you have spies everywhere?" and continued saying yes, that he hopes so, that the FAB intends to acquire two aircraft and that they are in negotiations, but there is nothing certain...

Care to share a source? All of the press i've read (infodefensa and fly-news.es) is pure speculation pretty much based on 'but Bolsonaro didn't say they weren't from AirTanker'. I would welcome a source which had some actual evidence that this could be the case beyond press musings In the internati...

not even a given they will be converted into MRTT, most of the public domain discussion focusses entirely on the strategic transport role Some journalists who are more intimate with the Brazilian Air Force say they are from AirTanker. They even say that there are 2 with the option of 1 more. What w...

Brazil recently announced the acquisition of 2 A330. I believe they will come from the AirTanker fleet. One of them has already come to a demonstration in 2019.

Are the Marines not part of the navy?

They are a branch of the Brazilian Navy.

So a flag ship for blue-water operations

It's just protocol The ship always belonged to the navy.

Seaforth Dock?

Thanks?

Where is the Wave Ruller?

Sea Ceptor. Im looking for the launcher model, not the missile. The entire system, including the vertical launch Sea Wolf variant was called, 'GWS-26'. The conventionally launched system (such as on Greenhalgh and Rademaker) is the 'GWS-25'. Not sure I've ever heard a specific name for just the lau...

I am still shocked that Brazil did not buy HMS Ark Royal and say 20 Harriers and just dump there old carrier and skyhawks They 'just didn't give a Foch'..... Sorry couldn't resist. Always been surprised by that, especially when they then proceeded to buy Ocean right afterwards. I suppose the attrac...

Already have a name? I'm looking to know this because it looks like the same model that Brazil adopted for its new light frigates, Tamandaré class.

What is the VLS model (in addition to the MK-41) that will be responsible for launching the Sea Ceptor in the Type 26?

Let me ask something: Why did the RN choose te Artisan 3D instead of an AESA radar? I'm asking this because Brazil has selected the Artisan for its new frigates, i would like to know the peculiarities of this radar. Greetings Artisan is an AESA radar.
