Hi Aaron great video! Some data, the SYLVER fire rate is "less than 1 second per missile per 8 cell module" (there is no treaty involved in this). The Hellenic Navy FDIs in addition, will have 4 SYLVER modules for a total of 32 cells and one RAM system for terminal defense. The terminal maneuverability of Aster 15 and 30 is not just 15Gs it is in the range of 40Gs+. This is because on top of the aerodynamic controls, the missile has gas vector control (similar to those of exoatmospheric vehicles) which is called "PIF-PAF"

2023-09-25 14:23:58 +0000 UTCI think the VLS fire rate thing is misleading, and not actually 1 per 15 seconds. The Sylver A50 VLS / Aster 30 combo is the main long range component of the PAAMS joint air-defense system. PAAMS can reportedly launch "eight missiles in under ten seconds" with 16 missiles simultaneous guidance, and explicitly claims it does that with the Sylver. So I think this truly is either a typo and they mean ~1.5, or it's not their actual max rate of fire being published, or some other explanation.

2023-09-01 11:58:12 +0000 UTCI'm waiting for smaller drones to carry the Black Scorpion VLWT and sonobuoys. It would be an economical ASW system for smaller naval vessels, esp in shallow waters.

2023-09-01 11:21:04 +0000 UTCThe Aster 30 is designed to defend against tactical ballistic missiles only but that's actually already very good.
