Would Arrowhead 140 suit Chile, and what configuration is likely?
Short answerIt appears suitable, with substantial firepower and a presence role anticipated. Equipment choices remain uncertain, and existing SM-2 stocks need upkeep.
NotesArrowhead 140 appears to fit Chile's needs and offers considerable equipment freedom. More firepower than Brazil's Tamandaré class is expected, alongside a useful presence role. The proposed equipment list remains uncertain. Existing SM-2 stocks could theoretically work with Mk 41 launchers, but require regular rotation and upgrading. Reuse therefore depends on condition and remaining life as well as launcher fit.
