Interesting heavily armed OPV by the UAE The Falaj 3 May Be The World’s Most Heavily Armed Patrol Boat

i know people say Australia doesn’t need heavily armed OPVs but they need them to patrol Sydney harbour in the event the Northside decides to blockade Chardonnay shipments to the eastern suburbs,

But genuinely that Leonardo 76mm OTO Super Rapid gun equipped with the STRALES guided ammunition system is interesting as a low cost all rounder.

Agree the strales/dart system looks more and more interesting in the light of UAV/USV proliferation.

Also, first confirmation I've seen of any specific navy using the Australian designed EOS r400-m.
