French Navy Demonstrates its 1st Cooperative Engagement with Frigate & Destroyer
Image
In a first, the French Navy (Marine Nationale) demonstrated a cooperative engagement between two of its surface vessels.

Horizon-class air defense destroyer Forbin remotely engaged a target (with an ASTER 30 surface to air missile) using a radar track shared via data-link by the FREMM frigate Languedoc.

The event, a milestone for the French Navy (a first in Europe, for a European navy), took place on September 18 2019 during the “Gabian” training exercise, a recurring exercise involving several vessels based in Toulon, on France’s Southern coast.

Finally we see the YJ-12A anti ship missiles mounted on the refitted PLAN Sovremenny DDG.
The size difference compared to the Moskit is huge! I bet they would have no problems fitting them with double the number of YJ-12s.

Clearly not very real right!:
Just days after announcing their acquisition of a decommissioned U.S. Navy Virginia-class submarine, Jaws VIII, the Hamptons Police Department has already used the military surplus craft to make an arrest.
