Seth35 SG How is our Navy gonna defend our waters against Kirov class Rocket Crusiers... Akula class subs... It seems we have a few ocean going subs and coastal defense subs....Plus frigates ,Corvettes and patrol boats.... Whats our strategy...Anyone can talk about it ?
Agenda SG Our armaments are meant as deterrence against our neighbours, not someone furthur up north.
Shotgun SG For those who havent noticed, quiet Diesel Electric Subs with AIP are one of the most cost efficient methods to deter powerful surface ships and nuclear subs. Can our future vastergotland class handle Kirov cruisers and Akulas? I suspect so. If a Chinese Diesel Electric sub can get through a Carrier Battlegroup's ASW defense to get into torp range, a Kirov cruiser isn't too hard for a Vastergotland.
specialOps SG i think u're thinking too far...too movie-like already... basically we dun need, because nobody in our area has those stuff.
zenden9 SG Despite all the recent hip abt AIP diesel electric sub. Coventional sub still lack the speed to be the truely underwater killer. The fastest is reported 24knots. While standard Frigate and destroyer speed is 30knots....
abao SG Despite the average destroyer being able to travel at 30knots, they usually travel at 16-24 knots to conserve fuel and keep in line with formation, especially to protect the flagship. Travelling at 30knots is usually done only in wartime and when you are escaping from the enemy or ambushing them.
Shotgun SG And the top speed of torpedoes are 50-60kts. Traveling at 30kts blinds their own passive arrays, so such speeds are reserved for cruising where there are no threats. Not when there are known Diesel-AIP boats around.
sgf SG While we're at it, let's add an aircraft carrier too. Seriously though, I'm still wishing for Visby class stealth corvettes to replace our aging MCVs.
Marco_Simone SG Dont talk co-ck la,idiot... I am not impressed at all by you knowing knowing that there is such a thing as a Kirov or Akula...
Seth35 SG Cocks cannot talk lar...How to talk ? Your not supposed to be impressed...Its just a situation scenario of "If's"
Seth35 SG Play too many comp games? Watch too many war movies liao?No leh.... Go play ur nipple la...Go Shoo !
Marco_Simone SG Actually,we are building(shh...) a fleet of 12 Lee Kuan Yew-class stealth cruisers.Don't tell anyone hor...You can't see 'em coz they are so stealthy that they are invisible. Here are some stats of the Lee Kuan Yew-class CG that I know of. Displacement:15,000 tons Weapons:2 VLS for 200 assorted missiles.(Standard ER,Tomahawk(ASM,TLAM-GPS),24 Harpoons,12 CIWS Top speed:40 knots Do you think your Kirov has a chance against the Lee Kuan Yew class?
CM06 SG We dont need to buy Visbys, we are building our own Come on man, 5 of our 6 Formidables are born here. You bet our DSTA is going to zhng a bigger brother for MCVs replacements. Regarding whether our ships are good enough, blue water going ships arent that zhai in brown waters. Subs included. Do you know how many radars we have to track ships or not?
