Italian experience with designing weapons for wartime is laughable compared to Russian one, like it or not.

That’s for sure in general.
In this case Cavour vs Gorshkov/Baku/Vikramaditya absolutely not.
It’s not enough the mark ‘made in Russia’.
Try to compare the technical specs of Cavour and Gorshkov.

Cavour is a modern ship full of electronic equipment. It’s at least 20 years ahead to old russian junk.

F35B + AW-101 HEW are 20 years ahead Mig29k+Kal52

The new Indigeneous Carrier, build with the assistance of Fincantieri (clearly a bigger Cavour) will be the only modern and reliable aircraft carrier of indian navy.

Here is the link to my review:
Delphis Models: MMI Andrea Doria fregata classe Orizzonte (1/700)

It is in German, but I hope it is still useful for you. If you have questions, please ask.

I don’t understand german, but many deserved compliments Leon.

Thanks for the update- the Italian FREMM’s are shaping up to be very powerful assets!:eek:

That’s true, but also very expensive compared to french Fremm. Probably MM will never have enough money to fund all the required (10) Fremm 😡

Is there already known which helicopter Andrea Doria will embark? Is the EH-101 and the NH-90 in service with the Italian Navy?

Probably NH-90 for Doria and Bergamini (Fremm).

The biggest EH-101 are for the 2 aircraft carrier (Garibaldi and the new Cavour).

Alenia’s C-27J Wins Romanian Contract
10-Dec-2007 17:14

After a competition that saw the Alenia Aeronautica’s C-27J Spartan/ “Baby Herc” face off against EADS-CASA’s C-295M, Alenia Aeronautica announced on Dec 1/06 [PDF] that Romania’s Ministry of Defence has began exclusive final negotiations for 7 light tactical transports, plus support et. al. The planes will also be equipped with a complete (but as-yet unspecified) self-protection system to allow them to carry out missions in high-threat areas. The Romanian contract was expected to be signed by the end of 2006.

Sorry Tmor,
You misundertood my post.

The nuclear reactor will be bought, no gift.

Gift or payed is not a good toy to give to someone as Kadhafi

According to your ironic tone in your post, you seems not te believe the human error theory.

Exactly,
I have some doubts, considering that the pilot was one of the best of AdA. 10 years flying, 1700 hours flying, mission in Afghanistan and the highest qualification of the AdA pilots ‘Chef de patrouille’ that means a Top Gun of french air force.
It’s worth nothing that ‘Flight data recorder’ is missing.

http://www.20minutes.fr/article/199514/France-Pour-la-premiere-fois-de-son-histoire-un-Rafale-s-est-ecrase.php

Could I have doubts?

Get lost, little boy. You should have kept your humour for yourself.

Sorry, absolutely nothing humour about the accident, a guy lost his life (RIP).

Hand-Over of the Destroyer Andrea Doria

LA SPEZIA, Italy — Two years after its launch, and 14 months after its first sea trials, the destroyer Andrea Doria was handed over by its builder to its operator. In a ceremony at Fincantieri’s shipyard at Muggiano (La Spezia), the Italian Navy ensign was hoisted on the ship, marking the official hand-over to the Navy of the first of the two Orizzonte-class (Horizon-class) destroyers ordered by Italy.

The second ship, the Caio Duilio, was launched in October 2007.

Several months will pass before the Andrea Doria reaches its Full Operational Capability (FOC), during which the complex systems that provide its considerable air-defense and command and control capabilities will be tested at sea.

The Andrea Doria and its sister ship are part of the Horizon class, a joint development with France. These ships have cutting edge air-defense capabilities as well as considerable command capabilities, allowing them to take part in, or to take command of, international operations, according to a statement by Fincantieri.

Andrea Doria, the first Horizon-class destroyer (frigate), has been handed over to the Italian Navy.

So,
about the crash accident of the Rafale happened in Corraze,
it’s been confirmed as a ‘human error’?

About the Libyan deal with the well behaved Mr. Kadhafi?
Is it confirmed that France will give a nuclear reactor, necessary to desalinate sea water, as ‘gift’ if the Colonel will buy Raffys?

About the article. Whereas Dassault owns a lot of the most important mass-media/press of France, there is nothing odd to see that they have the best journalists as PR.

Happy new year

STOVL is a great way for countries like the UK, Spain, Italy to have carrier-borne aircraft and great flexibility at reasonable cost. I’m disapointed that no US Navy diehards picked up the gauntlet for a debate on conventional CV vs STOVL:diablo:

The USNavy has a kind of CV Stovl (not true CVS, of course). The WASP class.
