| Point is: What they tell you and what reality is is not always the same.
As there is standard containers, the actual weapon fit is according to an evaluation of the operational situation. The air air containers have been bought, as far as I know, but you may be better informed, though not necessarily for the arctic patrols. By the way: The last Convoy escorts Denmark had was the Herluf Trolle class frigates. As far as I know, they were never run to full speed at delivery trial. In one of the defence debates, where the argument was that the frigates were necessary for the defence of the inner Danish shores, a British admiral just blew it by praising them for their ability to escort convoys. The meandering of a Danish defence debate follows other rules than an american one: We got to be able to defend ourselves, but nothing lethal!
They are especially dodgy about anything around Greenland and the Fairisles. |
