Re: UK's Future T26 Frigate.
The Germans dont use the mk41 or caam so i dont see that helping things, I aways wondered if when the production of the type 26 is in full swing it might help export orders.

Re: UK's Future T26 Frigate.
fair enough i guess the more unique parts would still be made in the uk then shipped there and we might even get Australia involved with sea ceptre program as well

From Gab's twitter.
It seems that the Long Range Radar on HMS Queen Elizabeth's forward island has gone live and is being tested. Another step forwards.

Re: Typhoon
I very happy with this news (especially SPEAR 3) but I feel we are neglecting the F-35 a bit here.
SPEAR 3 will be a powered release, is that drop and motor ignition but with no seeking to target or so forth?

Don't we have all our Sub building eggs at Barrow?rec wrote:Also it just makes sense not to put all our shipbuilding eggs in the River Clyde Basket, it would be better still if we had an additional ship builder to BAE.

Re: Future UK Maritime Patrol Options
While that might be true, this might not be true in the future and we would then need to start our own R&D most likely at high costs to upgrade a limited number of units, by using some of the American systems we can piggy back on to their R&D at hopefully a reduced cost to us. What we really...

Re: Future UK Maritime Patrol Options
. Spuriously could it also mean RN might be the operator rather than RAF ?? The RAF have staff with other countries using MPA, the Navy doesn't have any staff training for it (that I know of) so the chance of the navy getting it are slim. Could it not just be that we're keeping Japan on the hook to...

I surprised they used the lift fan I thought with the ramp they wouldn't need too? Might just have been for safety reasons but still.

Re: F-35B Lightning II (RN & RAF)
how effective as an air defence aircraft will the F35b be? I guess it depends what you are judging it against, with Radar guided and heat seeking missiles, better range and faster, stealth (not the end all be all of the aircraft) and a lot of other modern systems build in it will be better than the...

Re: Queen Elizabeth Class Aircraft Carriers - News and Discussion
Seeing how its fun to speculate but would we need the 4800 crew and 108 F-35 for 3 carriers? seeing as one would always be in dry dock we would never have all 3 at see at the same time. Did we ever operate all 3 invincible's at the same time?
