▶Fincantieri wants to buy TKMSThyssenkrupp is looking to dump its naval division. A high-profile deal with Naval Group fell through recently.https://breakingdefense.com/2024/11/fincantieri-openly-eyeing-germanys-tkms-even-if-deal-not-close
>>62921188>4x AShM >12x SAM A bit on the light side, but I guess it's not an issue, given that there's no big regional rival to keep up with.
>>62921232>A high-profile deal with Naval Group fell through recently. It was because of the submarines, wasn't it? TKMS wanted to keep HDW as is, whereas Naval Group likely wanted to fuse it with their own branch.
>>62921241Last I checked, they're spending a lot on subs so their frigate program is relatively lean.>>62921248I don't know much. With acquisitions like these, I tend to assume political roadblocks until convinced otherwise.Things from the end of the thread #1>>62909153▶Orka at NEDS>>62908799Yes it's based on the Spearhead-class but the interiors are reportedly totally rebuilt.>>62916834>Was there any mention about the Sea Spider point defense torpedo from Atlas Electronik?

>>62921337So the final version has two screws instead of a pumpjet?
>>62921361>final versionlaughing-monkey.gifSomething tells me the next time we see it, the propulsion will be different again.
>>62921232Oh big news.What would two sub manufactures done?
>>62921310>I didn't see news, but there might be news. They grey thing on the shelf is their display model of Sea Spider. As far as I understand from the rumors, their initial trials ran into the same issue other underwater rocket propulsion units also encountered, namely performance reduction as depth increases, due to higher pressure.
>>62921446I read about how it was due to another partial-buyer, Carlyle Group, losing interest in the acquisition. Something about the German government being skeptical of the deal. So, maybe Carlyle was planning on looting the company but since the Germans wouldn’t let them do that / made it too risky they just dropped the idea altogether. I wonder what’s so toxic about TKMS that no one wants to buy it unless risk is shared. Is it just the overall lack of market in the European shipbuilding industry?

>>62921727ArchiveToday is having a melty. Here's the link:https://archive.md/GonQ8>In any case, Africa remains an important "zone of operations" because it represents at least "four challenges". In addition to controlling migratory flows and environmental issues related to climate change, the first of these obviously concerns the fight against terrorist groups, which continue to extend their influence in the Sahel [and beyond], particularly since Mali, Burkina Faso and Niger cut their ties with France and its partners to move closer to Russia.>Moreover, a second issue arises from this: "the need to counter the influence of our strategic competitors – China, Russia, Turkey, Iran – who have understood that Africa is a continent 'to be taken' and full of resources", General Burkhard said.
