Babur-Class (MILGEM) Corvette | Updates & Discussion

[FuturePAF]

Well first things first. You have to get MDAS/MILDAS certified for CAMM-ER. The stated range of the missile is 45+ but Janes reported a while ago that CAMM (stated range 25km +) has been tested out to 60km,so CAMM-ER may infact have an actual range northwards of 80km or more. We dont entirely know.

But after MDAS certification then you could go get 8 cells per Babur. You still need to then MLU the F-22Ps at at least $65M-$80M per ship (if we look at how much is cost for Naresuan class upgrades (2 Ships upgraded with Sea Giraffe Radar, Ceros 200 CMS, two 8 cell Mk41 VLS, the quad pack boxes and missiles for ~$50-60M each) . That was in 2012. And that Naresuan didnt have a deck or SAM system that would need to be removed. It had an empty deck with little. Meaning there will be more labor in F-22p so it will be more expensive.

But still worth it IMHO, to make the F-22P relevant in modern warfare.

If the Turks can’t get the CAMM-ER to fit, hopefully they can get one of their own missiles to meet the same performance parameters and size, and be quad fitted as an alternative.
