Anyone?

Sure you can, but why bother with a complicated box launcher derived launcher (even without the armour the folding mechanism etc is still going be dagsly substantial)
If you're going to make a dedicated launcher you might as well make a light weight cannister based one ala the mk 141

Worklist

Source Materiel is always welcome.

I had in mind something like the Box Launched SSM OMI-67 from here:

I find this launcher in this old missile sheet:


This launcher designed in 1970's probably (seen on some Asheville Gunboats,perhaps on other units) and a enlarged version was built for Chimera in early 1990's together with the original for SSM OMI-67 (HSY-44,Vasiliades MkIIc).

Also please comment for the Frigate Klasse 122TN and the newer Type22TN below the 122TN.

Does these make sense?
Unfortunately I did the mistake and post them in "Tartar DEG Challenge" but they belongs here.


The Konon Mk3 DEG

Armament

1 X US Ordnance Mk42 5"/54cal Naval Gun
1 X SAM Sea Falcon (8 missiles,no reloads)
1 X ASROC Mk16 (8 missiles,no reloads)
2 X Oto Breda Dardo 40/70 CIWS
(ASuW variant has 8 X SSM Adis I)

Aviation Facilities: Telescopic hangar for one AS-319 Alouette III ASW (or Zelitz ZH-240)

Electronics (1966 version)

Air Search 3D Radar SPS-39
Fire Control Radar MW-22
2 X Selenia RTN-10X for Dardo system

Surface Search 2D Radar SPS-10
Navigation Radar SPS-21
Sonar STN Atlas/MARAC 3G

Any comments?

It seems reasonable though u may be overloading the hull or at least squeezing as much as possie out
Of it in the Asroc version as u added a lot of weight to the middle with Asroc and a new radar which I assume is heavier than the old though I could be wrong
Not sure about the 76mm besides the turret on the first one but maybe somoneore knowledgeable about the mount can tell if it fits

First version cancelled due to several issues,but I consider the second one for Black Sea.The ASROC can be replaced by 8 SSM Adis I.

The ASROC may be fine so don't scrap it yet Hopefully someone can confer it weighs too much or not.
You can maybe make the Adis version as well to show two versions use
In general I like this design

I already have enough Adis I equipped ships (2 Allen M.Sumner,2 Konon Mk1,4 Konon Mk2 and 8 FAC Klasse 145) in Black Sea,so more Adis ships are not needed.However,I will make this variant only to see it (edited).

-Question:Can I replace the SPS-40 with DA-02?

Something else,about aircrafts now.Chinese designed the Nanchang A-5 from the MiG-19,Indians the HAL Ajeet from Folland Gnat and finally Israelis the Kfir from the Mirage III/V.I thought an AU aircraft based on Buccanner frame.Engines are a non afterburning variant of SNECMA M53 with about 6500kg thrust each,electronics include terrain following radar (which original Bucc did not have) and other are lisence made from Israel.Also the aircraft have modified wings.Modern stand-off weapons will be also carried.How plausible is this?
SHAF has the blueplrints,since the aircraft made with license.
