271k euros per submachine gun? Does it comes with gold plated fire and forget guided bullets? Or am I missing something here??.. are submachine guns really that expensive per unit? I thought their price ranges would be $10k-40k range.

Danish frigate suffered multiple failures during an engagement against Houthi drones. Top general attempted to hide the information resulting in his dismissal.

From what I could gather, half the air bust 76mm rounds detonated prematurely and the ship was unable to launch its ESSM missiles due to a malfunction related to the interaction of its radar during and the Danish CMS during the engagement for roughly half an hour. According to Thales, the problem was not in the radar itself.

Fortunately for the ship, it had to deal with a single drone at a time.
