Oh… Yeah. It was appalling.

It is a pro Ukrainian Youtuber that translated the lyrics to show how vile the rap is. It is vatnik gangster rap, glorifying the SVO as they call it, rapping about shooting zombies and using grad systems.
My link got deleted, I apologize to the mods if this breached etiquette. I watched it and wanted others to be aware of the nature of this kind of music and why it is good it was kicked from Spotify.

That makes sense. Although a lot of navy power is smaller ships, frigates and such.
But also the emergence of the drone boat in its current form was for sure hypothesized but now that they are here, the race is on to find a solution.
And several types of ships simply have no alternatives. Carriers, helicopter carriers, amphibious transport ships, oilers.
Saw a YouTube video of a guy who showed the lyrics on some of these songs… good that this gets yeeted off of Spotify.
The systems need to be installed too.
I have no clue what kind of penetration a phalanx has, but Magura is armored… there I also don’t know if this is just against small arms but I’d imagine a bit more. Also a drone boat is not shaped like a normal boat. It is flat with a sloped top so even chance of glancing blows.
They are… gun based ciws can easily be used against ribs and such. I just don’t know if a drone boat ban be armored enough to withstand the onslaught.
Because it was a bet either way. Indeed your stalemate. After this there might have been other legal avenues that the US would have attempted… prolonging the whole ordeal.
Especially the human aspect. Government employees just go home at the end of their day and sleep fine. Assange spent his time in an embassy/prison while this whole ordeal went through. Now it is over.
The US did not have him in one of their actual prisons, but they did imprison him for over a decade.
Sure pointing to Russian incompetence is easy. I would like to see how NATO ships fare in a training exercise against a pack of 10 Magura V’s. I’ll bet they will find it is much harder than they thought.
These things are so low in the water they dissapears between the waves for radar and other tracking systems, they can move slow to get close and be within the outer defense layers before they are spotted. And now they even come with deployable mines, grad missiles or even anti air missiles.
You are right, sorry. Unmanned Surface Vehicle.
Or just put era blocks on ships too… lol
Yeah simple. It’s not like it’s rocket science.
Yes, very much so. The reason I think there might be add ons is due to the nature of the threat.
Very angry, low visible, high speed, armored, unmanned surface vehicles that hunt in packs.
We can make fun of the Russian expansion of their submarine fleet in de black sea all we want… but if these maguras where an easy threat to deal with they would. No reason to think any NATO surface combatant would do any better when suddenly confronted with a similar threat.
Yeah, but currently they stay away from the front far enough. In the near future this will probably be done closer to the front with an amraam and harm packing F16 to back them up.
Edit: Cool read that link btw
Yes, add USVs to the treat list.
The type of threats these things pose are a lot more similar to missiles than they are to a Rib filled with goons. Low observable and fast, close to shore means that a high level of automation might be needed. Aka… a ciws.
And why I think there might be add ons, is the type of threat is new and existing systems might not suffice. Magura is armored a plane or missile is not.
That the US and her defense contractors see this and are very busy developing solutions against this very potent threat against their own ships. Since the rest of the Wold als sees this… and that includes some people/groups/countries that might want to sink some American ships. If anything this shows how dangerous Iran could make the Persian gulf for American ships.
Magura proves how vulnerable ships can be, especially against modern wolf packs.
So I hypothesize that they will come up with some form of “after market” installable Close In Weapon System (aka… a bolt on CIWS) to deal with these kind of threats.
Go figure, a lot of people don’t care about your fundamentalist backwards brethren poking Israël with a stick and then hiding behind civilians so they can cry in the media when innocents die.
Company sued government for not adhering to contract.
The moral outrage should be at the people involved in the contract negotiations for the government and the fucker who ended up signing said contract. That group of persons and their entire genepool should be made to fill the vacant spots.
We had something a little similar here. Local government had a contract with an incineration company for trash. Then we started separating our trash more for recycling. And the local government is now BUYING trash from Italy and trucking it here to be incinerated because that is cheaper than the fines in the contract.
