HMS Diamond, the Royal Navy’s “jewel in the naval crown”, is a versatile and capable platform with the ability to carry out a wide range of war-fighting and constabulary duties.
The highly capable Type 45 air defence destroyer is one of the most advanced warships in the world.
Here we take a closer look at her advanced weapons after she shot down seven Houthi attack drones in the Red Sea.

75 rounds…. PER SECOND. 😮💨
Look OUT-DATED!!!
what a clickbait title.. DISLIKE
UK has plenty of money for Israeli war
So these are in the English Channel defending British people, yes? No. They defend the interests of the global elite. The navy was made irrelevant to Britain's defence when human rights legislation was passed saying we aren't allowed to shoot invaders.
Any chance of protecting our own borders there's a lot of possible terrorists invading the UK by just walking up our beaches
Reasoning to disband nato.
No reports even suggest Yemen is stopping ships that are not in the waters.
Israeli need to respect Yemen sovereignty. Nato needs to respect Yemen sovereignty. Saudi need to respect Yemen sovereignty.
No one creates more refugee's nor steals more resources than nato and Israeli interest….
carry on lads
That is the ugliest ship I’ve ever seen.
Who cares ?
yes, it is pointy enough.
🔻🌍🌎🌏🔺️
What's the cost of our missiles vs their drones though?
The guy firing the Browning looks incredibly exposed. But then I know very little about what the incoming fire would be these days.
Lol @ 1:50 you can't claim it's technology advanced and then fail to expand on it
The stats on the radar system are mind blowing
spending millions to take down thousands
that's what, about a million or so per drone to shoot down? If only there was a way to influence Israel to stop the genocide. Joe. meanwhile we don't have health insurance as a human right in the US. Israel does though. funny.
yet again we see teh west supporting genocide of muslims by so called christians happy to let the nazis of teh middle east murder unlimited women children and innocent men the british armed forces should be on trail for war crimes especially the sas who along with austrain sas went on comp to see who could murder the most innocents in a tour
Ahh the Royal Navy defending our nation how ironic your hundreds of miles away while we’ve been invaded
200,000$ missile shooting down a 1000$ drone. Who is paying for this? Is this sustainable?
Can it be last for a long play and sustanable defense in reality? 😅😅😅
It Is like using single use gold plated fly swatters to get rid of an infestation of flies.
How much cost one missile?
Apart from seeing the guns and missiles work it was a pointless exercise and a reckless gamble.
So 3 years production fired in a few minutes
If Houthi anything is a threat to the US, we are fu€ked
No antiship or land attack missiles.poorly armed like all royal navy ships.
This is lovely, either this is a deterent channel, or a channel imforming China, how to counter
ante emp ,? torpedo ?, anti scalar that travels at 7x around the globe per second and can completely SHUTDOWN ANY ELC TRICAL ENERGY . OR TOTALLY DESTOY AND BLOW UP ANY STORED ENERGY OR COMBUSTABLES ?
And so it begins 🇬🇧
So Frakkin cool
very expensive missiles vs very cheap drones it’s unsustainable in the long run hothis gonna win for sure
Such Ineptitude being so understaffed whilst at the same time an immigrant with kids gets welfare and benefits payments far exceeding a ratings salary cost.
is this real by now 13 of January this ship is on fire? HAHAH
Freedom 🇬🇧
Seriously, why drone Houty more powerful 😮
This government is like your broke friend who keeps borrowing money from you because "times are rough", then he comes home with cool expensive toys like this.
Only one!!
The other 5 are in dock getting diesel engines fitted as the turbines don't work in hot water !!!!
Great Navy ?????
Actually CWIS ammo is titanium not lead
What's up skid Marks?
