I love this new cannon but it's the vibration stories I don't like..as long as the troops who use it are happy then it will be worth it..they must be honest and transparent to get us a good vehicle for the future..

Re T31, as the original May 2023 announcement was phrased, it seemed to indicate the Strike length Mk 41 VLS fit would be installed by the start of the ships service lives. The phrase "will be back-fit" used anent the ships currently already building is thus rather suspicious. Of the five ships ordered, by the date this vid was released the first two were already under construction. Will Mk41 still be installed before they enter service or is "will be back fit" really just a quiet euphemism for our establishment vermin's still favourite cheese-paring lie anent all new RN vessels, ie; "FFBNW"?

No chance of 6 of these being built. We’d be very lucky to see 3 built, more likely to be 2

57mm is a HEAVY GUN? the 16" iowa cannon would like a word!

We haven't enough Matelots to crew what we've got at the moment either at sea or in port nobody loves a sailor anymore

It seems the RN has an obsession with cutting crew numbers (and therefor costs) to the bone, and in this case into the bone! it's insane to ditch the CIWS! I'm willing to bet that in the case of hostilities they will very rapidly start mounting a whole array of extra weaponry. It looks like they got caught out for not doing their homework properly!

Typical British ship hardly any fire power and manned by women etc

So no NGFS for troops ashore? Big mistake getting rid of the Phalanx system…

It's not the UK navy, it's the Royal Navy

Better if 75 and either the 40 or 57

Regardless of what kind of cannon r being used the bottom line is the Royal Navy should start building more naval ships to counter china or russia n regain their status as a dominant naval fleet in partnership with the US Navy n other allies for World peace.

😂😂😂 The most feared ? britainistan ? 😂😂😂

Clickbait crap...it's like arguing who is tougher John Wayne or Chuck Norris?

The simple truth is that Phalanx isn't effective against high speed missiles. 40 mm air burst ammunition is a better bet. It's disappointing that the RN has stuck with Phalanx & DS30 for the Type 26, but this probably reflects its earlier order date.

Fantasy stuff. By the time it's launched, even the Somali pirates will have 'Zircon' missiles.😅

The United Kingdom can't even afford to operate its navy of like two destroyers. hahaha what the hell is this crap?

😂😂😂😂 denial

All this shinny new stuff being paraded by Britain is just a bunch of old gadgets into which the Army top brass are desperate to have some new tech incorporated. All these challenger 3s will be knocked out by a £50 drone

The Royal Navy is nothing but a tin pot Navy which will not last 2 seconds against serious opposition

guys, if they are telling you about it, they've already got it .

cant even maintained their military hardware let alone have another destroyer

What are roe-kets?

76 mm gives you more stand off range

BOFORS 40 mm is 3 time better like Phalanx. the best performance for CWIS with resonable price!

Home the price includes whole life parts and support

No one seriously believes we are going to build 6 of these ??

RAN,top gunnas,gunna have this that and the other, about 30 years away.Gunna get cancelled anyway,just as well for the sailors,gunna get killed in a fight with 100 VL cell battle cruisers.

We spend 7billion and more just on hotels for our lovely enrichers who dump their passports. Imagine we had a political class with spine with our best interests at heart and how the 7 billion and the the other tens of billions spent on recent arrivees would transform our army, navy and airforce.

Can't even repair the bloody roads, but we can build this fantasy bollocks😅 In your dreams😊

Totally pointless in a land war in central Europe.

Seems no one wants to fit CTA 40 on a ship despite all the hot air !

The RN is just as woeful as the RAN.

Thats if " STARMER " dont make any more cuts to the defence budget

Just like the UK Destroyers went from 14 ships to 6. Now the mining vessels will go from 11 to 5, it doesn't matter how more advanced it is when only 5 ships can be in 5 places at once, not including upgrades, repairs, training etc.

Challenger 3 is now the best in the World. A remote Controlled Main Battle Tank The New Armour is very secret but is not shared except Germany and the USA Once Again we have the BEST Main Battle Tank, Cup of Tea ? Yes, it can do that too

Don't watch waste of time. Just blah ,blah with no real content.

doesn't exist. The United States will once again be the first one to drop next level Navy tech like we did with the Zumwalt class, which is unmatched by any Warship on this earth.

I've always wondered why our defence budget was so huge yet our military was small ... quality over quantity

Hmmm you will need four fast patrol vessels for close protection

A complete waist of time.pinocchio selling propaganda.cant built a ferry in tassie

Crawl back to the trailer park red elephants 😂🎉

It's the recent OZ weapons orders that can deter China in the Indian/Southern South China Sea, what's been ordered are 200 x Tomahawk block V 1000 mile ranged cruise missiles with anti ship capability for Virginia nukes subs and Hunters destroyers etc. 200 x LRASM stealth anti ship/attack missiles for the super hornets, Growlers and P-8. PRiSM Cap 2 1000km anti ship/surface hypersonic missiles for the Army stand off anti ship/attack capability. The recent deal as the world's' only 2nd factory to manufacture the NSM II and JSM anti ship/attack missiles for our 70 odd stealth F-35A multirole 5th gen fighters and are currently being upgraded to TR3/Block4 and NSM II fitted RAN frigates with Tomahawks. Thus hundred of swarms of intelligent, AI, stealth, EO long range anti ship missiles. OZ does have an advantage it that it has an air, sea gap for the enemy to cross and with the E-7 AWACs and JORN over the horizon radar that can on a good day peer deep into China and the south China Sea the Australian armed force are one of the most modern up to date highly trained networked centric forces on the planet. We should see them coming. It also helps having alliances with some of the most democratic and powerful countries in the world. We have a history of NOT sitting on the fence but getting involved and helping our allies. The Army might be small but the Air force /Navy will have the modern equipment and 1000s of some of the best anti ship anti aircraft weapons systems to bring down on the enemy. The enemy have to negate (the air sea gap) far from their sphere of influence just to get near here, and the plan is.... get them on the sea or in the air well before they can land and far from the potensial enemy's infrastructure and support.

Reload time for Phalanx and the cumbersome process is the issue in swarm warfare bbrrrrrrttttt goes through a lot of ammo fast but the drum isn't all that big The RN (and the Belgian Navy on their minesweepers) hope that the 3P ammo will compensate for lower rate of fire

This thing sways a lot.

Wooooow wooooow wooooow ♥️♥️♥️

As is usual with Johnson he had no idea what he was talking about. He is an utter buffoon.

The Aussie multiband L band anti stealth with, S band and X band six sided AESA CEA FAR 2 radar suite with AEGIS with its six sided panel CEAMOUNT fire control radars with each panels capable of locking on up to 10 individual targets, (10 x 6 =60) that's 60 locked on targets at once (that's not tracking thats lock on capability!) is superior to the SPY-6 and is a generation ahead is being seriously considered. The Australian Type 26 Hunter class version will be fitted with this radar suite and the US AEGIS combat system.

How is it supposed to start and land on a QEC Carrier??????????

Toys for the 🌈🌈🌈. No match to Russia 💪💪💪

So they decommission amphibious ship, then plan to build new ones wgat happens if needed beforehand?
