  • @furdelance1 Interesting. How do you know that mate?

  • @snuden75 i don't think we should be worrying about radar capability. The american navy asked a type 45 destroyer to turn off its radar in exercises because it was detecting aircraft too quickly.

  • The Type 42 is so much better looking, although this is much better it just looks like a propper twat with its party hat radar pole thingy.

  • @zakaslam1. Yes, that was one of the reasons SONAR was installed on this, and every ship in the royal navies fleet.

  • Is that a USAF B1 Bomber lol??? Would be a shame if we had to shoot it down lol. :P

  • @snuden75 Well youre American, so id expect ya to say that!! lol

  • Holy cow!!!...over 1000 targets at once..the size of a tennis ball traveling at 2-3 times the speed of sound!!....is that true?, if it is this is one remarkable piece of kit!!

  • I have got my name down for one of these. Oh and I read the multiple target tracking system can take care of incoming objects at supersonic speeds as small as a tennis ball. Then again, if its an "actual" tennis ball, nothing to worry about...

  • @DeltaReconnaissance hah my thoughts exactly.

  • too short
