When are you going to be truthful about those Failed LCS experiments? Forty-four knots!?! Not without cracking the hull! How many have been retired already? The first thing they gave up on was the 'Modules' which were a major selling point.
@@Gamleman I'm sure you're talking of the Visby-class Corvettes but the video went on to cover the American Littoral Combat Ship (LCS) which has been a dismal failure with machinery breakage, hull failure and cost overruns. Seven have been decommissioned at five years' life with more scheduled. The *Canberra* traveled to Australia to be Commissioned in Canberra and made history as the only ship to be scheduled for Decommission before it was Commissioned!
Some NATO-members always tried to have a good defence others mostly older NATO-members behaved like the eternal peace had arrived. We let the USA pay for our defence. Now after several Russian wars against smaller neighbours we started to rearm. Yes we the have started to rearm but very late and from very low military level.
@@olofpersson9423 nato airpower have always been strong and i think to many countries relied on it too much but it is clear groundforces are more needed than ever. i personally thougth that mechanized warfare was a thing of the past and i never thougth trenchwarfare and artillery duels would come back.
@@christiankaiser6562 , also means not redly visible. If you have ever been on the open water, you can see for miles. I’m just saying they could do something with the exhaust system.
Tanks use that as smoke screen to hide. As long as it is not a thick black smoke hovering *above* the ship, I assume they know what they are doing and it does not matter. First thing you can see from far away is the radar due to the curvation of the earth's surface.
