As usual, lots of armchair admirals BTL

57 mm...÷ 25.4. = 2.24 Inches...or two and a quarter inch diameter shell...medium range defence gun...

How many VLS cells will the Australian version of the AUKUS nuclear submarines have?

This British/Australian AUKUS submarine currently being developed to add our Virginia class nuclear submarines order, I hope is to have the capability to increase the VLS count during mid contract improvements, similar to the Virginia block V modules VPM) Richard Marles is denuding the Nuclear submarine land attack capability refusing the new Virginia Bloc V. Instead he orders new built Bloc VII as they will have minimal VLS capability thus cheaper! One of the reasons we went nuclear is that of the land attack capability and he removes it!

Wonder if they’ll install the versions which have no reload magazine.

Why are you keeping Chinese advertisments. I believe this is a Chinese content as well

More ships ..great....but the armed forces in the UK are too diminished...our government needs to step up and fund more recruitment

Big mistake have both

CV9040 says hello. Sweds been doing this for 34 years already.

Unfortunately, 🇬🇧 has too few of everything. Type 26 order needs to be doubled, as does the type 31. A bigger, more heavily armed replacement for the type 45 is needed, and a new class of well armed corvette for local defence of British waters. More F-35's are needed for the carriers, at least 2 flat top assault ships for the Marine expeditionary force, 6 new large fast combat support vessels, and another 6 Astute class subs! As i said more of everything. Our government pretend to be one of the big boys, but are never prepared to back it up!!!

155 MLRS

So are we now getting type 26, 31 and 32 or is type 32 a replacement for 31. Why is there zero mention of type 32 on the Royal Navy website?

Q. Until the announcement DID ANYONE KNOW? Many believe that BoJo just got his facts muddled up and we end up with a Type 31 morphing into a Type 32. Remember we had a Type 31a or Type 31e. The Type 83 Destroyer is talked about but absolutely NO REAL idea about Size, Capabilities, Armament etc. Odd that the type 42 Destroyer was morphed into the stretched version of HMS Bristol Type 82 but with Labour cancelling the 2 Aircraft Carries CVA1 & CVA2 so the Type 82 disappeared. Q. Should the new Destroyer be Type 85 with reference to Type 45?

The Save the Royal Navy website, which is usually on the ball about these things, reports that it will be a general purpose frigate that will follow on from the Type 31. General purpose is military speak for not fitted to fulfil a speciality role. So I don’t think we should expect very much more than we are getting from the Type 31. The Holyrood publication states it will be built on the Clyde, but I think that’s highly unlikely. Even if it goes out to tender, Babcock’s frigate factory in Rosyth would have to start favourite.

It's never going to be built, not enough money, not enough crew to go around and Labour talk a good game but will be full of empty promises on Defence as they fritter away what money is left on foreign aid.

No money to run them, old ones to be scrapped to afford it. No sailors to man the ones we already have and an air force using naval ships. Rag tag numpties dreaming about 1904😂😂😂😂😂😂

Boris Johnson not our prime minister anymore it’s Sir Kier Starmer we had 2 new prime ministers since Boris Johnson 😂

UK is dreaming again..😂😂😂

This was before the liebour government was elected

Bofors 57mm mk3: 220 rpm Bofors 40mm mk4: 300 rpm 😳 And they still have about a 10km range. And they fire bofors 3P

£31 billion at the moment. The UK Government has already allocated another £10 billion as a contingency. Expect the price to double by the time they have been commissioned (prices for military contracts always do).

After 40 years, someone comes up with something better than phalanx?

from uk here its bullshite were skint we cant even feed our people we are a third world county now FACT.

Can’t see this nice artillery system being propelled as an EV!

Is that the finished product? It looks like a mismatched prototype. Will it hold up in actual battle conditions? Firing seems to put a lot of stress on the chassis.

if this was built under the Tories for get it, they have a 100% failure record in anything technical or that requires infrastructure of any kind, remember the Satellites, Drones, Test and Trace, HS2, and the list goes one.

The Italians have been making this choice for the CISW for years. The rotary barrels have a range of only 2500 meters. But also compared to the RIM 120 RAM: 900K DOLLARS for a single missile. The Vulcano Projectiles 10 times less... and from the results against the HOUTIs, WHERE the RIM 120 missiles on the German frigate misfired. and the rotating barrels hit the target only a few meters from the American ship. WE ITALIANS ARE THE LEARNERS OF GIULIO CESARE..THE COUNTRY OF MODERN SPECIAL FORCES, THE COUNTRY OF FINCANTIERI, LEONARDO, BERETTA, BENELLI (THE RIFLE USED FOR THE T. REX AND THE TERMINARS), OF THE SUPERCAR S, 😅

We can’t even protect our shores against Abdul in his dinghy , as for fighting Russia I ask who exactly that would be since my fishing club has more boats than our navy and the British army in its entirety would fill Wembley stadium . As for the purchase of new navy kit … may I ask why they bought not one but TWO aircraft carriers without aeroplanes … and now they want a new sub to play with ??? 😂😂😂😂😂

What nonsense, we've got 2 aircraft carriers that are useless,.

Stopsmallboats!!!

They missed out the most important ammunition, “madfires” and “ALaMO” which are continually guided during their flight time making them extremely effective

Stőd Bofors, bli kanon 🍺

I thought the trident missile is past its sell by date and doesn’t work what good is a cutting edge submarine if it doesn’t have fire power. Another failure by the British government

Wake me up when the cyberspace submarine becomes a real one..... I imagine that once you have paid off all the conultants and other grifters, ther won't be much left for the real thing... Another vainglorious project to line the pockets of those that we cannot criticise.

Well, a cannon not deadly or lethal is what? Just a pipe?...🤷

The Royal navy pronounce "Ajax" as "Ayax" , perhaps the Army brass also do so .

I'm sorry but if you look at Sweden and then look at the UK, it's hard to understand that the UK can produce such advanced stuff as you do. It's the same with America, both the UK and USA look almost look like developing countries compared to the Nordic countries and a lot of European countries like Germany for example. Your roads and built quality of houses and just about everything is like traveling back in time compared to us.

It's of little use in a peer on peer war, if we do not have full production facilities here in GB.

It is called the Royal Navy, not UK Navy

We have no army, no airforce our navy has aircraft carriers that we can’t defend, we haven’t the planes to fill them but luckily they can’t get more than a few feet without breaking down so how are we going to afford this?

When war comes the UK will have a problem. It has very little strategic weapons manufacturing autonomy remaining. In a crisis it can't even organize PPE equipment, what hope complex weapons?

03:57 There is a steel slug variant, but the ammunition you show us is airburst munition to be used against UAVs and helicopters.

How does 40mm HEAT compare with a 30mm HEAT? Compare like with like!

"Despite their complexity and cost ... it will enhance their maritime capabilities..." Ummm for £31-billion, WTF did you expect? A rubber dighy flying a sheet of A3 paper as a nod to traditional naval flags?!

Last I heard the Trident missile didn't work when it was tested.

😂😂😂 for sure 😂😂😂😂

These computer voiced videos are bollocks. Nothing but repetition and mispronunciation.

If you can keep it working.

Sad to say but war is a necessary evil and o e best be prepared for it whenever it rears its head. The military industrial complex need to be put in check by these western countries especially the US they over charge for the so called "advance technology " that takes them a decade to develop like the GRF class carrier 1 every 10 us years whereas PLAN dropping them every other year and yes I'm talking about CATOBAR not just STOBAR and for less the price, even the US defense industry knows how absurd it is but yet nothing comes from it and the tax payers are the ones who are at the detriment of these corporations.

Imagine just staying home and not go fight in other countries so that corporations cant make money......
