Ya i saw e pic 2, no sonobouy launchers on e port side n MAD is not carried
Extremely disappointing to see an expensive platform not fitted out with the full range of sensors necessary to prosecute an effective attack on an enemy sub.
maybe they will rethink now given the case in SK....
I heard that the frigate's radar system is better and can sense better than the aircraft's. And the radar system of the frigate's is so strong that it is harmful to the male reproductive system. Though Navy's divorce rate are high cause lot's of mistress but there goes our precious sons.
Not in terms of sea-level detection range though.

A helo radar at altitude will be able to detect much further than sea level due to earth curvature no matter how powerful the sea level radar is. That's the purpose of the S-70.

The frigate, if we are refering to the formidable, does have a significantly more advance air-search and fire control radar. However, the helicopter, the S-70 does not possess and air-search radar. The S-70's radar is a surface search type.
Its a trade off. The Elta EL/M-2022H helo radar does have an air mode. The S-70 carries the APS-143 does not but has instead a nifty ASW capability.
The surface search range of the APS-143 @200+nmi is significantly higher than the herakles as a result of the above.
