Meko A-200AN frigate with RBS-15 Mk III , algerian Navy

Nice vessels

Now THAT is the main gun our Meko Frigates shoud have got.

The original MLU plans did in fact include such a gun, but we all know what happened to the economy and defence budgets since then...

Algerian kilo 636 M submarine , Missiles KLUB-s - 3m14e , test in russia before delivry

Interesting "muzzle loading" a torpedo...

The frigate is imho the "proper" configuration and weapons fit - what the SAN should have got. A decent size main gun being the most obvious difference.

for MEKO the main difference for me is the 16 launchers for RBS-15 Mk.III 200km range , when valour class have 8 launchers for exocet MM40 Block 2 range 72 km


on the pic 16 RBS mk III on algerian meko





for Kilo 636M submarin , its not a torpedo , but a KLUB-s - 3m14e missile submarin version
