Russian Navy now
A Type 45 shadows one of Russia's finest rust buckets. Pity the Type 45 doesn't have any ASM capability - yet. BW Last edited by Borg Warner; 28th April 2014 at 18:19.. |

I think that heap of junk could be tracked for miles - it's radar signature must be massive.

That to me, is the start of chest puffing, which could ultimately lead to a stand off at least, war at worst --------------------- On a slightly related note, (slightly!). I saw a post on Facebook, about Obama's stance (and the rest of the western world's) on the annexing of Ukraine/Crimea. But it is OK for the Israel annexing of Palestine/West Bank et al. Another of my pet irritations - but i will try not to get started |

Besides we don't have too many surface units available nowadays. Having said that a Frigate would have been a better choice. But it's that same as the Bear Hunt over the North Sea thread and a pair of Typhoons intercepting the Bear Bombers. A Type 45 is a pretty deadly bit of kit from an anti-aircraft platform perspective. When on patrol in the South Atlantic could probably dispatch the entire Argi' air force before they left their own airspace. BW |
