  • Nope. That was rumours, rumours which was denied as having been decided by NATO. Same as this “we have sources”. Some news rooms got little over exited and reported it as hard fact already done decision, when it wasn’t. which prompted/forced NATO/national leaderships to issue denial of No such thing has been done. Though usually with ofcourse discussions of future development and improvement is always happening

    Meaning mostly likely, it is proposal under preparation. No official decision made. Something else could theoretically be chosen as alternative or fully different posture even.

    However it is atleast to me hard to see what would be the alternative. SAAB has a ready proven, already in use product. Where as others have conceptual bids. Minus ofcourse the Boeing Wedgetail, but well we know how that is going.



  • Well the safety has gotten better since 80’s and 90’s. sadly exactly due to the sinkings. More compartmentalising, stricter automatic safety measures and alerts. For example actually mandating on bridge “hey captain, your barn is open” alerts and so on. Mostly getting rid of the dangerous upward opening visors, which own buoyancy is constantly pulling it open.

    Well there is still the overcrowded small ferries issue. Which is down to old worn out ferries badly maintained and overloaded. nothing one can do about that. One can sink any ship by exceeding carrying capacity and not maintaining the things that should be watertight, watertight.
