Media: UAE received torpedo ships disguised as auxiliary vessels

The UAE Navy received 2 unusual auxiliary vessel, which, according to the magazine "Jane's Defense Weekly", disguised by the carriers of the latest German super-long-distance torpedoes SeaHake Mod 4 ER, reports the blog bmpd.

According to the publication, “the SeaHake Mod 4 ER electric torpedo is a modernized export version of the DM2A4 electric torpedo, which is in service with German and several other naval submarines, and has made it possible to increase the number of batteries and dramatically increase the range of the course. "

It is reported that the torpedo "has a mast periodically raised on the main course with a GPS equipment receiver, providing correction of the output of the torpedo to the target area, including the possibility of movement along a complex route."

According to the magazine, "in the final section, the torpedo uses a passive sonar guidance system." SeaHake Mod 4 ER can be used both from a torpedo tube and from a mobile coastal installation on a car chassis.

The government of Germany in the official report on the export of weapons to 2014 confirmed the sale in the UAE of "two floating platforms with devices for launching torpedoes" and "sonar detection devices."

These platforms, according to the report, are two 58-meter "multipurpose auxiliary vessels A 61 Rmah and A 62 Afaq", built by Nobiskrug Werft in Rendsburg on the order of the United Arab Emirates.

Externally, the vessels resemble sea tugs, in the stern of which there is a place to accommodate standard containers. Both ships were delivered to the customer in October 2014 by the transport vessel Richards Bay.

They will spoil with the approval of the United States and bring down Iran and Syria.

Deliver Gangster Weapons to Religious Zealots Germany generally survived from the mind!

Yes, in principle, you can stick a torpedo tube on any steamer ... and disguise it if necessary. There would be compressed air and power. This is not a problem.

[iouris]

This is yes. But here we are talking about the creation of an entire fleet for sinking ships "out of the sly", while the actual task seems to be the fight against the "land" ISIS.

[Samaritan]

Sticking is not a problem, finding a boat is a problem, the Swedes will not let you lie :)))

What kind of fanatics? In July, new legislation was passed in the UAE, envisaging lengthy terms of imprisonment, as well as the death penalty for crimes motivated by religious hatred and Islamic extremism.

.... Torpedo sets range records, who are interested: ....

.... As far as I remember, our 650mm peroxide torpedo had a cruising range at 25 knots of about 100 km, and at 50 knots - 50 km ... Yes, the warhead was more powerful .... Given its "antiquity", but also a potential danger in operation, "Dagdiesel "it is likely that I have already started to modernize this device .... Akki have appeared well, very good recently .... Waiting ...

[Samaritan]

The torpedo is good, what a sin to hide:
Range: 140 km, speed 92 km / h, warhead
460 kg in TNT.

It seems like the professor said that this is not permissible while talking about the Club complex in the container. And what now will say about this

[kirgiz58]

He just "nobly" will not appear in this thread, so as not to answer slippery questions.

[Very smart]

Well what can he say. From the Persian Gulf to the Mediterranean Sea - to mug and mock. So he is not interested in this topic.
Yes!

[Alex_Rarog]

There is nothing personal only business.

[Tor5]

Yes, it is stupid on the part of the Germans, according to the principle: "nothing personal, just business."

[PPD]

Why does the UAE need this at all? Who were they going to secretly launch a torpedo into? ISIS? Or do they seriously believe that no one will know about this? The idea is not new - a sort of Zamvolt for the poor. But stupid. Will lead to the fact that the enemy will automatically transfer any civilian vessel to the category of targets.

[g1v2]

Well, why do we need CLUB-K disguised as containers? To unpleasantly surprise the enemy with warm greetings from a "civilian" container ship or truck on the road. But the Arab ships have already lit up, and which of the dozens of container ships under our flag has an unusual load, mattress makers will have to guess.

[PPD]

There is already a very hot region.

Quote: g1v2

Here are just arab boats already lit up

Exactly the point in secret ships, about which everyone knows? Especially in which they have no special need to see?

Well, why do we need CLUB-K disguised as containers?

If they stand where it is, then this is unknown. It should be so!
If we had a lot of things, then that is a dubious undertaking. Disguised complex on a cargo ship under the Panama flag? Or on the icebreaker 50 years of Victory?

And in this connection, the question immediately arises. But in general, you’re going to fight, gentlemen are good. Those. what is happening in the Middle East are of little interest to you? But what about the refugees in Germany, you also do not care how much? Isn’t it time to think hard about the current situation? Wow, and you’ve broken firewood, it’s time to come to your senses!

And why immediately fight with someone, for self-defense is also impossible?

[sl22277]

It remains these ships to tear in favor of ISIS or the Hussites. And the sea route through Suez will turn into a fascinating lottery .....

[31rus]

So what next? All their ships have been threatened with sinking, this is a breakthrough, who will guarantee that there are no such torpedoes on the merchants, then I will drown everyone, and that's right, any cunning bolt has its own "Caliber"

[SergeyIV]

Sorry for the stupid Europeans. With their own hands, they dig graves for their people. Unprincipled ki.

[van zai]

A very interesting system, in my opinion. A good addition to the RCC. For coastal defense. And the fact that the "ships lit up" does not matter. These are training ships. If necessary, it is easy to equip any suitable vessel with such torpedoes. Then the thought arose: "Isn't the reincarnation of torpedo boats coming?" .On a new level.

[DenZ]

It seems that the speed of this pelvis is too small to define it as a "torpedo boat".

[Zaurbek]

Here the Russian ship mixes up such a ship with trawlers and sinks to the bottom. Then the scandal will be with the corpses of sailors.
