It does not develop & manufacture the AV-8B Harrier used on the Cavour.
Like the Netherlands, Italy is a level Two partner in the F-35.

Participant nations:
Primary customer: United States
Level 1 partner: United Kingdom
Level 2 partners: Italy and the Netherlands
Level 3 partners: Australia, Canada, Denmark, Norway, and Turkey

As Level 2 partners, Italy is contributing US$1 billion and the Netherlands US$800 million to F-35 development.

Alenia will perform final assembly for Italy and, according to an Alenia executive, assembly of all European F-35 aircraft, with the exception of those for Turkey and the United Kingdom.

Italy will take up to 60 F-35A for its air force and 15 F-35B for its navy (i.e. for Cavour)
 
Bangladesh can go and mingle with their parent country for all they want just don't come to us crying like you guys did the last time when things go South.

Always remember your fallen heros and the ideology for which they fought for and you will find India always standing right by your side.

well, your definition of parenthood seem to be based on who your grandparents are - the British.... unfortunately, that's not the definition we follow.... your granddaddies (UK and US) are in trouble now..... so, your concern should concentrate on who should be your next granddaddy....

How did the US came into picture? The Brits, ok,but then they were your grandparents too and how they both are in trouble?
So what's your definition of 'granddaddies'
 
I know but AV-8B harrier was the first one used on it :)
Because these were already available in Italian service, from the preceeding (and much smaler) Guissepe Garibaldi. Cavour will have room for ten F-35Bs in the hangar, and six more parked on deck. As opposed to 8 AV-8B now, from Garibaldi.

Same as with Spain, which had the AV-8A on the Dedalo (ex USS Cabot CVL) and then AV-8A and AV-8B on Principe d'Asturias sea control ship and now on the Juan Carlos Buque de Proyección Estratégica (Strategic Projection Vessel) LHA/LHD.

Guiseppe Garibaldi (14k ton).

bro, how is BD Navy progressing in your opinion ? :tongue:
 
Cavour???? YOu mean Italy does not produce fighter jet??? :lol: :omghaha::omghaha::omghaha::omghaha:

Italy does produce the AMX in JV with Brazil, unless that's not what you guys are referring to...the ones used in its AC are all Vertical lift-off jets.

These are light aircraft carriers. Similar to LHA amphibious assault ship that I mentioned in another thread. This is the Republic of Korea amphibious assault ship ROKS Dokdo (LPH-6111) below (it supports a complement of ten MH-60 helis and vertical take off jets (F35s in the future), weighing in also at 14000 tons.

Italy has 21% stake in eurofighter.

I'm flabbergasted at what ships they add to navy and to coast guard

Cavour is not an LPH/A. Cavour is designed with F-35B in mind.
Dokdo is not a carrier. Dokdo doesn't carry and will need modification to accept F-35B. Just like Spanish Juan Carlos. It's 19,000 tons full load displacement.
ROKN doesn't have any STOVL/VTOL jets, nor has it ordered F-35B.

Just because its flattopped don't make it a carrier.
 
Still a bit miffed at the Italian corvettes converted to OPVs, eh? :-)
Very! While turning RN OPVs into corvettes.... :rolleyes1:
The Minerva's are such handsome ships.

Standardization with Type 056:
  • Bow sonar
  • 1 × PJ26 76 mm dual purpose gun
  • 2× 2-cell (4-cell?) YJ-83 anti-ship missiles, amidships
  • 2 × triple 324 mm. torpedo tubes
  • Type 347G radar
  • 1 × 8-cell FL-3000N SAM launcher, in place of the Selenia Fire control SPG-75 (RTN 30X)
  • 2 × H/PJ15 30 mm cannon
  • Aviation facilities: Helipad for 1 medium-lift helicopter
  • Towed array and variable depth sonar
