Re: French Military Pic Thread
Is it just me, or does that last pic of a Rafale on a carrier look a bit photoshopped? What makes it look the strangest is the canopy as well as some parts in the tail, it seems that someone did a poor job with the lasso tool...

Re: French Military Pic Thread
Kind of..Looks sort of fuzzy. But why would anyone PS such a pic? I mean we all know the French have and operate a CV.
Great video of the FN(R 91) in action. An intresting look for me about how the French operate on the flight deck.

Su-25utg on the Admiral Kuznetsov
In 2002 the turret of the new german artillery System Pzh 2000 was mounted onto the foreship of a F124 class frigate to show principal feasibility.
Some early tests were sucessfull. The turret needs some small modifications and a fast loading system is also being developed. It's a 155mm L52 gun.
On November 15th, the missile system IDAS (interactive defence and attack system for submarines) was succesfully tested for the second time. It's a fiber optic cable giuded missile designed to primarily engage ASW Heli's, with secondary ship and land attack capability, and can be lunched submerged. IR seeker is taken from the IRIS-T AAM, range appr. 15km.
Availability is planed for 2009.
Diehl BGT Defence company is developing a supercavitating torpedeo named Barracuda. It has some kind of Autopilot and a movable cone-shaped nose to change direction. Some Barracudas were build and showed a stable course and succesfull man steering. Top speed is said to be 360km/h or 194,4kts.
A newspaper-article stated 800km/h (432kts) and it would have the ability to intercept a Shkval. In the rare articles I can find it's mainly described as an anti-torpedo-torpedo.
It was first made public on the Imdex 2005 exhibition in Singapur, though I havn't found anything on that.

Re: German Military Pic's
For special auxiliaries, Nordseewerke Emden is the competence centre of ThyssenKrupp Marine Systems due to the long-lasting experience in combining merchant and naval shipbuilding technologies.
MHD 150: Amphibious and Sealift Capabilities – Challenges for global engaged Navies
The December 2004 tsunami disaster and earthquakes on Sumatra shiffted focus to disaster relief and humanitarian assistance. One of the the challenges, which recently became therefore apprent to navies, is the capability to sealift and deploy vehicles, materials and personal in a short time and sizable number. ThyssenKrupp Marine Systems developed the MHD 150 as a versatile and multi-functional systems for such military and civil purposes.
The Multi Role Helicopter Dock Ship’s general design is based on a dockship capable of carrying two LCUs or howercraft. Its vehicle deck has about 800 lane meters, an extended helicopter deck with five landing pads, a landing pad on the main deck aft and a hangar for 11 helicopters (NH90-type) with ample space for service and maintenance.
The MHD 150 can transport and support over 750 fully equipped troops and their vehicles and armament. The amphibious units are either of LCU type MK10 or a LCAC hovercraft type and two type MK6 landing craft mechanised LCM(T) wich are stowed in a recess, port and starboard, on Deck 01. Further ample space in/for Hospital is availiable.
Main Specification:
Length over all 182,00 m
Length in waterline 174,00 m
Beam 26,50 m
Depth to main deck 16,85 m
Design draught 6,00 m
Displacement (full load) 15,000 t
Propulsion plant 2 x 11MW
Speed max. 22 kts
Range 8,000 nm / 16,5 kts
Complement 142 Crew / 776 Troops
