I remember the PLA used to do that with counter strike a long time ago and got derided for it.

They did.

Can't remember if it was some homebrew version/copy or just modded.

And also exact purpose (tactics or team exercise?)

Edit: Also, was it not in officier school? With purpose probably being team/coordinating/leading exercise more than anything.

As they rightfully should be criticized. Real simulators and field exercises exist, you don't need video games that are by design supposed to be addictive.

The sort of penny pinching and trying to get superpower capabilities on the cheap that has handicapped the QEC also applies to Astute class SSN's. I remember many years ago someone on another board commenting that cost-cutting efforts would reduce the capabilities of Astute, without going into specifics. Now I know what he meant:

Anyone whose been following the story of the 4-funnel, ocean-going cluster-fk that is AJAX will not be surprised to see this:

He's right on the diagnosis but wrong on the prescription. UK will spend what it takes to keep a nuclear sub fleet, but this will be to the detriment of other capabilities. Ultimately UK will end up with a small fleet of SSN/SSBN, 2 large CVs without enough aircraft, and not much else!

Keeping up with the other P5 ain't cheap, that's for sure.

BAE Systems has powered up HMS Glasgow for the first time..​


1766009605845.jpeg

According to BAE Systems Maritime, the generators are designed to deliver efficient and flexible power management wherever the Royal Navy operates, while also supporting the platform’s anti-submarine warfare role. Low acoustic signature is a central requirement of the Type 26 design, with power generation, auxiliary systems and routing all engineered to minimise noise and vibration.

The Type 26 Global Combat Ship is optimised for anti-submarine warfare but is intended to be a versatile, multi-mission frigate. Quiet power generation is critical to that role, reducing the ship’s detectability while supporting sensors, combat systems and mission equipment.

HMS Glasgow is the first of thirteen Type 26 frigates being built on the Clyde for the Royal Navy and Royal Norwegian Navy, replacing the ageing Type 23 anti-submarine warfare frigates. The class will form a central part of the UK’s future surface fleet and has also been selected by Canada and Australia for their own naval programmes.

BAE just got sanctioned so I don’t see how they can complete this program.
