The Type 45 Destroyer Is More Powerful Than You Think #shorts

The Type 45 destroyer, also known as the D or Daring class, is a class of six guided-missile destroyers built for the United Kingdom's Royal Navy in the early 21st century.

The Type 45 destroyers were built to replace the Type 42 (Sheffield-class) destroyers that had served during the Falklands War, with the last Type 42 being decommissioned in 2013.

They can track up to a 1.000 missiles at one time and destroy them exercises have proven this .

A lot of the design requirements came out of the Falklands Conflict where we lost several ships to enemy aircraft missiles.

Αny type of warship that is not designed to counter submarines and attacks from small swarm aerial drones or from surface swarm drones that pack some kilos of explosives or even submarine type drones is destined to be either destroyed or suffer damages that will make it unoperable for long periods of times. See the Makarov example.
