Germany authorizes funding of submarine launched multi purpose anti air IDAS missile for German made submarines.

This is a significant development as it will allow submarines like the U212, U218Sg (or Type 218Sg), U214, etc. to shoot down anti submarine helicopters or MPAs ( esp. when they swoop down to use MAD and/or launch sonar bouys).

In fact, it imay be the submarine that hunts these aircraft esp. if it detects the aircrafts first.

This development was protracted and it is only now that the German government gave approval.

IDAS has range in excess of 15km (up to 40km) and has a secondary anti surface capability. It can sink small vessels (corvette class) , strike land vehicles and buildings. It can also seriously damage larger ship systems i.e. mission kill. 4 missiles can be fitted into a 533mm torpedo tube from a single tube magazine.

Haha. Menhan Sg hinting at incoming RSN JMMS vessels which will replace some of the Endurance class LPDs (Sg refers to them as LSTs in spite of its size and rearwell deck which embarks landing crafts).

The JMMS (2 ships) will either be a light carrier/LHA or LHD.



As shared, Sgs RSN will likely complement the JMMS vessels with 2 to 3 multi role support/logistics vessels capable of amphibious operations - something like BMTs Ellida class:





Not all scenarios mandates the presence of a JMMS vessel.

Beautiful pics of 2 RSN Endurance class LPDs from the air when they were in Darwin Australia for Exercise Trident 2024.

An obvious factual inaccuracy. Sg does not lease any of its combat helicopters.

@MKLMS
