I find the use of Malyutka very questionable

China does still use HJ73s but they are after all like 800+ pen, although even slower.

what can i say, if it work,it will work,maybe they learn from the modern war that sometimes use laser is not gonna work,so they use the traditional way,beside this xcb01 have stab and thermal with extra armor so its fair

Probs used to give it better buoyancy ergo its probs empty.

new reports of the Indonesian Navy trying to procure the ITS Giuseppe Garibaldi Aircraft Carrier, rumored to include the remaining AV-8B+s of the Italians (roughly 6/8 + possible spares of ITS(or maybe USMC))


Italian Navy’s Giuseppe Garibaldi

On the naval side we’re quite close to both Italy and France so honestly i can see this going through, but no disrespect to the harriers, personally i dont think its the wisest of decision considering its accident records has its own wikipedia entry as well as the age of both the ship and the airframe.

Additionally this decision is most likely the result (or perhaps part of) the Indonesian Navy’s Chief of Staff visit onboard the carrier in 2024
