22 units seem to be small …. especially for local production….no economy of scale


SK MND Press Release 21 May 2013 as quoted in Defence Studies ( Source )


According to Army Recognition, Indonesia will put the CSE-90 turret from Belgium. The CSE-90 is the same turret that we use on our SIBMAS. Probably because it's being used by Indonesian's Army Scorpion and Marines PT-76 and AMX-10 or cost constraint.

Wasn't the Scorpene jointly developed by DCNS and Navantia?

The solution is to make it slimmer or longer:

I think u r rite....they counted all the crows that flew from sulu to sabah

From wiki:
At 11.000 tons it is the smallest aircraft carrier in the world. It is basically a smaller version of her half sister the Spanish carrier Principe de Asturias. It was bought secondhand from the Spanish Navy in 1997. and came with seven AV-8S and two TAV-8S Matador (Harrier) STOL attack aircraft. Six new-build S-70B-7 Seahawk helicopters are also on board. The Matador AV-8S (first generation Harrier airframes) are out of service due to lack of spares since 2006.

At the time of ordering Thailand was an "Asian Tiger" , then the Asian Financial Crisis hit and all of a sudden they couldn't afford to operate what they had already ordered.


Chakri Naruebet with Kitty Hawk


It’s still operational but hardly goes to sea as it is costly to do so. So now the intended naval 'force-multiplier' has become sort of just the Royal Thai yacht (there are apartments for the Thai royal family)…and part-time tourist attraction ( don’t miss buying a cap with HTMS Chakri Nabuet on it). The officers' uniforms make the aircraft carrier more colourful. They don red, yellow, green, purple and white uniforms.





It saw action in January 2003, when anti-Thai riots were sparked in Phnom Penh by incorrect news reports of a claim by a Thai actress that the Angkor Wat temple complex belonged to Thailand, not Cambodia. Chakri Naruebet was sent to help with any evacuation of Thai citizens from Cambodia.

Another time it saw action was during the filming of Rescue Dawn, about US Navy pilot Dieter Dengler and his capture during the Vietnam War, the flight deck of CHAKRI NARUEBET was used to represent the carrier USS RANGER.

But in any real action it will be any naval commander’s wet dream target ship. The self-defense armament includes four close defense Meroka systems and six chaff decoy launchers. For offensive weapons, the ship relies on the capabilities of her embarked aircraft. For anti-submarine defense, she relies upon the detection capacity and attacks of her ASW helicopters.

VERA passive radiolocator (in Czech known as Věra) is an electronic support measures (ESM) system that uses measurements of time difference of arrival (TDOA) of pulses at three or four sites to accurately detect and track airborne emitters. It is sometimes incorrectly referred to in the media as a radar.

the hole is made by the rod penetrator

120 mm smoothbore I think

M1's main gun fires Sabot for anti tank, HEAT (High-explosive anti-tank) for APC, CAN (M1028 canister) for anti infantry/structure and MPAT (Multi-Purpose Anti-Tank) for slow moving air targets and ground fortifications.

targeting the abram I guess

Different types of rounds vs a T-55 turret Part 1



(4) several hits and penetrations of 57mm armour piercing rounds. A small angle of impact has caused a ricochet.



(5) Typical impacts of different High Explosive Fragmentation shells. The lower one is a hit by a 57mm (HE) shell. The upper one is a hit by a 100mm (HE) shell, no penetration has occurred. The larger calibre hit has caused a breakage of the welding seams between the rear wall and roof armour of the turret.
(2) Main Battle Tank T55 100mm armour piercing round (100 APCBC). Hit, no penetration due to small angle of impact.



(1) Main Battle Tank T55 100mm armour piercing round (100 APCBC). Hit and penetration.
(3) Light recoilless rifle (55S55) of Finnish origin, Two hits and penetrations.



(6) 57mm Armour Piercing ammunition, no penetration due to the armour thickness and small angle of impact.
(8) hits and penetrations by the recoilless rifle HEAT ammunition.

Different types of rounds vs a T-55 turret Part 2



(7) Several hits by 100mm tank gun HEAT rounds. Note a much larger penetration hole in comparison to the recoilless rifle HEAT penetrations (Position 8), tracks left on the surface by the fragments and impact of the shells stabilizing wings.



(7) Several hits by 100mm tank gun HEAT rounds.
(6) Hits by 57mm Armour Piercing ammunition, no penetration due to the armour thickness and small angle of impact.



(4) and (10) several hits and penetrations of 57mm armour piercing rounds. Some rounds have inflicted a bigger penetration hole than the calibre due to the breaking of the armour. A small angle of impact has caused a ricochet in one case.
(5) Typical impacts of different High Explosive Fragmentation shells. The lower one is a hit by a 57mm (HE) shell. The upper one is a hit by a 100mm (HE) shell, no penetration has occurred.



(1) Main Battle Tank T55 100mm armour piercing round (100 APCBC). Hit and penetration.
(9) Hit by the 100mm tank gun HEAT ammunition directly to the penetration hole left by the 100mm kinetic armour piercing round.
