I for one hope this leads to future development integration and orders to equip the light mechanised units among others.

Well soon know. When they order the next batch of type 26 we’ll see the cost.

The escort is there to provide escort. The fact it has gd sensor and command facilities it also has a weapons fit to allow protection of the operations it intends to conduct eg most of what we have done for the past 30 years and those of the future particularly in the area of state backed proxies o...

The type 31 can defend itself against an attack as it’s supposed to it’s not supposed to conduct a war all on its lonesome and seems like a gd fit with a LRG that appears to be moving toward a naval commando special forces type construct. As said the basic LRG has been made up of a LPD , Bay class ...

And so the usual round and round we go construct an argument a ship any ship must take on the might of an entire countries armed force alone declare said construct lacking and demand more ships, more ships that’s always really the starting point isn’t it. The type 31 can defend itself against an att...

I would more be wondering how Australia managed to design and manufacture the vehicle in country. Yet the MOD and army seem incapable of wanting to do similar in this one without salivating over foreign production even though it has had many options to do so.

Joint Expeditionary Force (JEF) Light Brigade It'll be interesting to see which formation provides this capability on importation of Defence Command Paper and Army restructuring? Also interesting to see a French sub-unit involved on an exercise associated with JEF rather than CJEF; albeit I might b...

Ahh research ok…. would using them daily count Yep flutter tests are still flown to demonstrate the computer model accuracy funnily enough as Aeroelastic effects are very hard to model. So your company, after a computer simulation predicts a debilitating fault, still goes ahead and builds it just i...

I am not arguing against building a balanced fleet but the T31's are a pretty substantial downgrade against the T23's in terms of armament. Short of decision on the next generation of anti ship missile are they? You could argue the gun and missile combination on type 31 is a better balance than tha...

Rolls-Royce will partner with Japan’s IHI Corporation and both will also offer the engine fo...

Of course the US can just activate the defence production act and you don’t get any missiles at all like they have with vaccines and ppe this past year. I mean why would we all need more missiles at the same time…..
