The South-African army plans to buy 200+ units.

jln115:
Already bought 244 units

Toju200:
impressive

jln115:
would be if only Denel was able to deliver on time

Fineman87:


Kabe1 was right. And their "woman prime minister was right" too.

Look at the map and see where New Zealand is, they don't need fighter jets. Australia is a sister nation and is never a threat.

Other countries would need aircraft carriers to send fighter jets to New Zealand and sustain the fighter jets. So, threat assessment means NZ does not need fighter jets. SAM are sufficient.

I can sight 3 ezugwu mrap at the background

Toju200:
what's the current situation of Denel now..
You mean they've not delivered the vehicles yet..

Didn't want to interfere in the discussion , but anyways for those r interested

Missiles generally cannot be fitted within hours in a ship even if one's ass is on fire .

Only exception is if the ship is fitted for the said missiles but not installed to keep operational costs down or concerned weapons r not available due to some reasons.

That is the infrastructure is already in place in the ship to allow the concerned missile to be installed quickly if required.

The connectors are already there , the decks r already reinforced , the plume management is already catered to , the FCS is already installed , systems for either onboard sensors or offboard sensors r ready provide feed to the FCS and the missile etc etc

Even this will require days , as every thing will need to be tested as per SOP. This is not a plug and play system. There r 1000 of things that can go wrong and will end up blowing up own ship lol for all the haste .

What's the point on installing a missile on a ship if the ship does not have systems to locate and identify targets. Except for targets within visual range.

Even if offboard sensors are used like helicopters , how will the target data be transferred and feed into the missile if no FCS which is compliant with the missile in question is present.

And most importantly if the missile system and related FCS is indigenous that one can possibly install the same within few days if there is emergency. With foreign missile systems forget it . One can try but that's a risk one will have to live with.

What's the point on installing a missile on a ship if the ship does not have systems to locate and identify targets. Except for targets within visual range. Even with ordinary radars , range of detection is limited by the radar horizon to less than 40km.

Even if offboard sensors are used like helicopters or MPA, how will the target data be transferred and feed into the missile if no FCS which is compliant with the missile in question is present.

In the absence of sensors one can also fire the missile in a " mad dog " mode but 99% of time it will be a waste

And also if the missile system and related FCS is indigenous that one can possibly install the same within few days if there is emergency. With foreign missile systems forget it . One can try but that's a risk one will have to live with.

Fineman87:


You are right. Even warships cannot be built in 150 days because of bla bla bla. Your answer is the Liberty class. Smh.

This matter is closed.

nemesis8u:


One must not play a game if one does not have a sporting spirit.

What has building ships in 150 days got to do here

I did not quote ur post nor tried to put ur opinion down

If anybody is right or wrong is not my concern , that the readers will decide. Either way none of my business

I simply gave my opinion as per my knowledge , same as u .

Fineman87:


Use the pics above for your answer. Ship Missiles come packaged in launchers. And ships do not need reinforcements to mount them.

Baba I have no problem if you believe any missile can be integrated on any ship in a matter of hours for which no prior integration work / study has been done.

For the last time I will answer u on this topic

That is a US hydrofoil based cutter , now retired.

Prior to the installation of harpoon launchers , extensive studies was done to ensure viability of the launchers interms of aerodynamic interaction with the airflow around the high speed craft and to ensure safe ejection and launch of the missiles. Also to determine the safe launch parameters like speed of boat , sea state , cross wind speed etc within which to launch the harpoon missile safely.

And thus the harpoon launchers are validated for the said boat . Necessary FCS are also present / tested with the said boat.

So if any said boat does not have the launchers / FCS installed ,it can be installed with a day or so because the boat is fitted for the same ( missile / FCS etc already validated for the boat )

Now abeg I go
