IIRC, that boat throws such a huge wake up that anyone can see it on radar.Faram wrote:AEGIS is toast

That’s why it only works in enclosed waters, it cant go over about 10-15 knots without either being seen by its bow wave or heard on sonar. Plus it has to keep ECOM to avoid being located by ESM, making it ineffective if a target location is not already known.phongn wrote:IIRC, that boat throws such a huge wake up that anyone can see it on radar.Faram wrote:AEGIS is toast

FLIR would always work against it through. That’s how you kill annoy things like this, helicopters with missiles and both EO and radar sensors. If it lights up a radar to defend its self, then the stealth doesn’t matter anyway.
