WW2 carriers were also armoured. Todays carriers are nowhere near to that level. But they are bigger on the other hand soo i can see why they said they’d need multiple hits to succefully sink or gut todays carriers

Could they however repair a todays carrier from a single say Onix hit without going back to port ? Depends where it hits I suppose ?

Keep in mind he is specifically talking about export numbers, since they are most relevant currently.

I thought soo. But Malakhit, Granit along with Bazalt and vulkan were never exported.

They didn’t buy. US did however obtain a S-300 and learned from it.

Again Sean has whole write up about it.

Saying however that Arrow would not have happend if not for the S-300 that’s frankly pushing it.

Add to that I doubt Russia would offer any joint ventures with India in regard their long range sam’s.

The word was that the Buk would be easily jammable by the Russians (precived to be largest threat to the fins) considering they build the system.

From what I read from my days on mp.net. The fins there said that the source for that was only from a journalist and not official military source. And the Buk’s themselfs will be kept till the end of their 20 year lifespan. So 3 more years to go.

JSR will you please for the love of god stop posting.

Sure. The Borovichi Refractories Plant/Borovichi Firebricks Works.

My bad then. I thought that company went under in 1995.

I think it shall be the Russian doing the damage control by maligning the Chinese side. Minister of defence of china come out and clarify. So what you think?

You know what I think. Look above. What damage controle by Russia though ? They indeed don’t have the capability to produce fire bricks anymore.

So either they are lying from whome they’ve imported (Why would they?) or like I said Chinese are doing damage controle.

Whatever happend to that N025 radar, TR ?

Swedish automotive industry never technically fell behind. It’s lack of appeal what did them in. That and being bought by Americans.

AESA is not hardware alone but software.

Seeing as how many programs been plagued by software glitches and there has been overal complains of inadequacy in this field.

They have a long way to go. Which is puzzeling seeing as Russia doesn’t lack in software specialists.
