Never trust a French poster!

French submarines have:

Much smaller payload than the British subs (almost half the payload)
No equivalent to Tomahawk missiles
Need to be refuelled after 10 years (lel)
Are slower

= "better submarines"

>>60254673
French sonar, US cruise missiles, German hydrographic systems.... vast majority of the systems are British of course including the Rolls Royce nuclear reactors and Spearfish torpedoes

That is the difference between our countries. The UK puts quality and effectiveness first, even if it involves foreign companies, whereas France will compromise on quality in order to keep it as French as possible. It means British companies are forced to compete with the best in the world for government contracts while the French ones have less pressure

That's how you ended up in the situation where you have brand new nuclear-powered attack submarines that need to be refuelled after 10 years, and a nuclear-powered aircraft carrier that has to be refuelled every 7 years.
>>
>>60254802
Not for a hunter-killer submarine.

Never said that. The French subs are good quality, just not AS good as the British subs.

>you'll explain to me why straya bought our subs.
I will, if you want.

Britain makes nuclear-powered submarines exclusively. They are tailored to the needs of the Royal Navy. The Australians can't afford nuclear-powered submarines, especially not something like the Astute Class.

The Aussies were in the market for conventionally-powered submarines. The French subs are sufficiently small that (according to the French officials...) they can be converted to non-nuclear propulsion fairly easily.

The Australians went for the French deal primarily because France is offering to do a lot of the work in Australia, and the politics of the situation makes that very attractive for the Aussie government.

Britain COULD have took part in the competition to supply Australia's new submarine but it would have been a waste of time and money. BAE Systems would have to design and build a completely new class of submarine JUST for export to Australia and lose most of the workshare to Australia.

It's a lot smarter to make them smaller with better systems and/or higher quantity. I think building the really huge ones was a bit of a mistake, Cold War dick-waving. Both the USSR and USA were guilty of that.

>>60255847

Not really, and the buying thing works both ways. Something like 25% of the F-35B variant is UK-made, averaging over all 3 variants it's around 15%. You might think those are small numbers but then consider the scale of the US military, they are purchasing literally thousands of those fighters.

That is only one example. You know the newest most advanced ship in the US Navy, the Zumwalt Class? Guess where its engines come from.

Do you know what company develops the Electronic Warfare suite for the ENTIRE USAF F-15 fleet?

The B has less space due to the Lift Fan which allows it to do vertical lift. Maybe you can put it on the wings but that means you can't use it in stealth mode. Anyway I'm pretty sure the UK and Norway are competitors in this missile class so there wasn't a chance of us buying it

F-35A: conventional take-off and landing. Uses regular runways like your typical fighter jet.

F-35B: successor to the Harrier. It's a jump-jet, so it can use much shorter runways (including flat-top ships with or without ramps) and land vertically. The larger engine it needs to do this means it has less range and payload than the others

F-35C: carrier variant. It is launched by a catapult, rather than under its own power. It requires either a full-length runway or arrestor wires (on a carrier) to land.

Explain the 'economical strategy' of having to refuel your nuclear plants more often than your counterparts? Given the longevity of nuclear power is one of the reasons people use it.

Really, I don't see how you can riff on about French 'quality' when the production of CdG was an utter mess.

Your nuclear stockpile is irrelevant to what we're talking about.

Our aircraft carriers aren't equipped with catapults (although they can be installed in the future), so they need a jump-jet.

But another important reason is that the Royal Navy and RAF have lots of experience with using jump-jets especially at sea - the UK developed the Sea Harrier for example.

Britain developed and continues to like this type of fighter because it is ideal for expeditionary warfare. It is the only type of fixed-wing fighter aircraft which can land on/take-off from austere runways and forward operating bases where there are no full length runways (or they get destroyed in war).

Imagine a situation where the British Army and Royal Marines are fighting in some country halfway across the world. As they push inland, a fighter like the Harrier and F-35B can go with them even through unforgiving territory.

This isn't a capability most countries would need. If you're only interested in actual defence, it is quite useless. For an aggressive nation which likes to project its power it's a great asset

That is why the Americans are getting it for their Marines despite also having the carrier variant

To be fair it is very impressive that a country of 9 million people not only has its own fighter jet, and exports it successfully in large numbers (Brasil), but also has a large domestic defence industry in general

I definitely wouldn't say it's better than the F-35 though except for very specific areas
>>
>>60261934

Gripen is a good option if you want some 4.5 gen capability without complex maintenance or high entry price. However, it certainly not in the same league as the F35.

However, as it turns out, buying the F35 was cheaper for Denmark than buying Gripen, this is where you hear most of the assblasting for Gripen vs F35.

We've never been strong because of our army anyway. Our strength is/was always based on our political stability, economy, innovation, and of course the Royal Navy
