I'm just as surprised as you are, frankly. Officially, Sea Viper doesn't have anti-ballistic missile capability. But we all know NATO tends to undersell its capabilities.>U.S Central Command released the following update:>“At 11:51 a.m. (Sanaa time) on April 24, a coalition vessel successfully engaged one anti-ship ballistic missile (ASBM) launched from Iranian-backed Houthi terrorist-controlled areas in Yemen over the Gulf of Aden. The ASBM was likely targeting the MV Yorktown, a U.S.-flagged, owned, and operated vessel with 18 U.S. and four Greek crew members. There were no injuries or damage reported by U.S., coalition, or commercial ships.>Separately, between 12:07 pm and 1:26 pm, U.S. Central Command (USCENTCOM) successfully engaged and destroyed four airborne unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) over Houthi-controlled areas of Yemen.>It was determined that the ASBM and UAVs presented an imminent threat to U.S., coalition, and merchant vessels in the region. These actions are taken to protect freedom of navigation and make international waters safer and more secure for U.S., coalition, and merchant vessels.”
How long til the aster block 1 upgrades are completed? Don't want to run out of whatever missile is doing the work because of bad procurement timing.
now let's see you produce them consistently to meet the growing demand))
>>61496855It carries the aster 30 missiles and as wiki states:>The Aster 30 Block 1 and Block 1 NT were designed to counter ballistic missiles.So the do officially counter ballistic missiles
>>61497002>How long til the aster block 1 upgrades are completed?There hasn't even been a validation launch yet, or at least no public announcement of one>Don't want to run out of whatever missile is doing the workThat'll be Aster 30, and we don't know how many were builtinitial contract was for 100 per ship, in both 15/30 variants>>61497043>wikihumph>Block 1 and Block 1 NTare not yet in service, the contract for Block 1 was only signed in late 2022
>>61497083Behind times grampa, the block 1 has been in service since 2022 In 2022, the United Kingdom announced a series of upgrades to its Type 45 destroyers. Not that this doesnt say that the upgrades commenced in 2022 only that they announced them.Since block 1 was officially in service in italy since 2016 i think the odds of them testing the block one before 2022 is highly likely.
>>61497043Anon it couldn't be clearer that you scrambled over to wikipedia out of contrarianism for an Epic Retort. Please just shut the fuck up and absorb info.>>61497587The contract to do the work wasn't signed til december of 2022. It categorically was not in service at that time.>>61497083>initial contract was for 100 per ship, in both 15/30 variantseee that's not a lot. Israel's tally for ballistic missile tracks exceeds that. Need more spam, or 'Ceptor-ER if the new announcement from italy involves new capabilities (haven't read it yet).
>>61497646There's no way the RN bought only 600 Asters, the problem is unlike the USA they don't publish ammo purchase info. (I suspect the US probably only publishes theirs because they buy in such large quantities that the $ amount triggers some obscure disclosure rule somewhere.)
>>61497739The US approach is to withhold capabilities but disclose quantities. Exact numbers are provided for most things, if you care to find them in the budget books. Ex. the number of NGSW rifles is known, whereas the UK equivalent requires an MP to ask in PMQs.
Imagine if it's just some dudes yeeting gym equipment.
>>61496855Royal Navy shitting all over third wolders is a tradition going back 500 years, they should build up the numbers tho
>>61496855Ohnononono warriorturd what now
>>61498658Notice that he had no comment, because it blew up his stupid "only ABM" boast
>>61498736How many missiles and drones have the PLAN shot down?
>>61498816Absolutely malding lmao
>>61498831Clean your boat.
>>61497034>now let's see you produce them consistently to meet the growing demandlmafo, not possible in bonglandia

>>61498816India is part of the task force?
>>61496855Which of these painted images is a ballistic missile?Also, I want them to let some ballistics through to see if they can actually hit moving ships reliably.
>>61499056>Also, I want them to let some ballistics through to see if they can actually hit moving ships reliably.Curiosity killed the merchant mariner.
>>61499069If they can't hit ships with a good enough accuracy we shouldn't bother wasting missiles shooting them down
>>61496855Are Bong ships able to link into AEGIS?Is it a case where they can't take them out on their own but with AEGIS feeding them targeting info it becomes possible?Or are they simply just sporting some weapons not on the official roster?
>>61499141not enough public information to tell aside from a report done by the US naval war college which just reiterates the whole radar being capable of tracking 1,000 objects the size of a cricket ball travelling at three times the speed of sound reddit trivia
>>61496855Does anyone have a score card for all the ships in this operation? I think the USS Carney is up to like 20 interception kills by now.
>>61499195>zoomer buzzwordsrope yourself you waste of spaceworst generation
>>61499270>he knows they are (((buzzwords)))lmfao, just think this is your job, no wonder youre so moody and pissyI do it for FREE however!
>>61496855>I'm just as surprised as you are, frankly. Officially, Sea Viper doesn't have anti-ballistic missile capability. Its not really all that surprising desu. Sea Viper is capable of intercepting very fast, very high altitude targets. What is a ballistic missile if not a very fast, very high altitude target? I'd be interested to know what phase the missile was in when it was intercepted as that plays a pretty significant role in judging the SV capabilities in the ABM regard.
Every time I get confused about what the Houthi's are trying to accomplish by stepping on the toes of essentially the entire planet, I remember that Yemen is considered retarded even by ME standards
My dick is HMS Diamonds

>>61499549>How about you get a blue water navy turdiemaybe we will, how much you want for that bong-boat *over there* in that dry-dock?
>>61499582>yeah this thirdie wants to drop more than his shithole's gdp on a used carrier to try and flex on britain
>>61499595>gdp>firstielmfao, may we see what you produce?
>>61496855>shooting down a goatfucker “””ballistic missile””””>acting like its any kind of achievementI bet you 90% of those things could even hit the ships they were fired at
>>61499601>thirdie understanding of economicsYeah pal, im sure your production of sandal leather beats out the value of one new york security firm's building. Services make money but its abstract value, something you cousin fuckers wont understand.
>>61499717>yeahYou might have that viewpoint because youre a retarded thirdie. The west doesnt seem to be in a war with you subhumans, itd be nice if you just kinda left the boats alone, but policing destroyers arent fighting a war. I wish we would tho, i saw that houthi rally and was like... damn thats a lot of soft targets uwu
>>61496855>U.S.-flagged, owned, and operated vesselrare
>>61499582>>61499601>>61499646>>61499717How much do you get paid kek
>>61499717Nah. We just want you thirdies to stop being retarded so we can get on with overeating and paying more for the shit you make than you earn making it in a week. Nobody gave a shit about yemen until they started chimping out at ships. The only question really is whether we want to spend the cash to squash them the fun way.
>>61499843>About 150$ per day.Cool thats minimum wage in my country, about what id expect a literal shill to be paid.
>ASBMs don't work>ASMs don't work>cheapo drones don't work>speedboats don't workSo what is the next turdie cope gonna be?

>>61500072Man I miss that dude, the new breed of schizos aren't even genuine anymore, just faggot /pol/nog overflow and paid shills
>>61499717True. We could've flattened their nation with conventional bombardment.
>>61499577Problem is they chose RC Cola who is small, run by retards, and on the brink of collapse. LMAO.
>>61496855>HMS Diamond shoots down Houthi anti-ship ballistic missileits like being proud to catch stones of some locals by shooting at them with golden bullets paid by your people when defending ships of people who are proud to own your politicians.
>>61499582That would take your country 1000 years to pay off. No thanks. Your credit isn't good here.
>>61500352What? Speak English retard.
>>61499843Post pay stub, poorfag.
>>61500360>What>can follow basic English.How much of Israel is in you?
>>61500369>ItS dA jOOs!1Bruh>'can' follow basic EnglishThis is true, I can. You however can not. What shithole do you call home anon? Care to post passport/hands?
>>61496855Anyone got a QRD on Sea Viper? It seems pretty different from American and other Mk41/standard missile-using navies design philosophy and doctrine. The closest I can think of is ESSM, but Aster 30 seems to be of a higher performance and weight class.
I was expecting to find warriortard having a melty, but it looks like we have a butthurt chinkoid instead. what a nice surprise
https://www.reuters.com/world/middle-east/missiles-sighted-15-nautical-miles-sw-yemens-mokha-security-firm-ambrey-2024-04-26/in other news, the houthis just bombed a russian tankerthe last ship they managed to hit was a chinese oil tanker a month ago
>>61500352learn grammer nigger
>>61498740I thought he shit on the tyoe 45 for not having anything to attack land? Wasn’t it common knowledge that they are capable of intercepting missiles?
>>61500737Based Houthis
>>61499141>>61499233We know that the Type 45s have the usual NATO data links so in theory there's nothing stopping AEGIS from giving them targeting data if they're on the same networks.
>>615007954X has always been RN terms for air defene you stupid nigger
>>61500842And I’m supposed to just know that? Why are you so mad?
>>61500842What is the RN term for just a regular destroyer that can engage both air and land targets?
>>61500878>>61500885>not old enough to remember the type 42 destroyers lost in the falklands
>>61500842Mad

>>61501485oh so you are actually warriortard, you showed up late, the insecure thirdie that calls everyone airmen came here before you, kinda stole your show.you're free to seethe about the british now but nobody's really gonna see it, thread's pretty much dead for now.if a schizo seethes about a country's military in a thread, but nobody turns up to see it, did the seethe really happen?
>>61499577lmfao this cannot be real, the thirdie rage coupled with the borderline-incomprehensible ESL word salad is just too perfect
>>61496855>>61496855>Officially, Sea Viper doesn't have anti-ballistic missile capabilityYes it does, agsint SRBM's under 1000km range
>>61496855Bloomberg says the UK Navy has confirmed two attacks on vessels in a series of headlines hitting the Terminal around 1400 ET. UK NAVY SAYS ATTACKS RESULTED IN DAMAGE TO VESSELYa, looks like you didn't shoot down all the missiles
>>61500795he tried to say that only US destroyers had shot down ballistic missilesand then this happened lmao
>>61500700it's basically an Italian-French version of the SM-2on the Type 45 they paired it with the best mechanical radar put on a boat, thanks to bong autism (the Italians and French opted for a slightly smaller radar)it's not an ESSM, it's a long-range area air defence missilethere's work ongoing to make it an SM-3-lite for ballistic missile defence

>>61502333That vessel in question is carrying Russian oil to India. Why should they protect it? I thought they made a deal not to hit Russian ships?
>>61498978Yup, not with our godawful energy poverty
>>61503259Until we get a direct link to Bloomberg’s site to this mythical story to read in full I’m going to assume that our resident bong-obsessed schizo is huffing copium in industrial quantities, particularly since he seems weirdly insistent on prancing about doing anything instead of providing actual, first hand sauce.
>>61505194sooner, hopefully
