Harpoon 2012 exercise of HRM
Pretty good exercise, the first one of that type in many years. In addition to firing everything up to 57mm cannons at ranges up to 7500 meters, the exercise included formation steaming, convoy escort, tactical maneuvering, SAR and a first for the Croatian Navy, resupply at sea. Too bad no missiles were fired, but from the scope and theme of the exercise it seems like the Navy's preparing for deployment, perhaps anti-piracy ops.

Thanks Admiral.
Who said they needed to?
No problem
The fact that others here on the site were saying that the HRM will deploy our ships for anti-piracy operations
Kralj class ships have a range of 1700 nm, endurance of 12 days and can handle up to sea state 5. That is more than enough to pass the Suez canal and either resupply in port or meet up with an Allied ship and conduct replenishment at sea before joining allied task force.
It's true they can't operate alone at high seas only turn back to nearest port after a week, but in joint operations they wouldn't have to.
Why giving every military event deeper meanings?
Nice pics though.

So there is no money left to help the armed forces but somehow there is money left for luxury vehicles ?
Oh Croatia you will never change......Always comfort before security, power & greed over national pride, and always selling its self out.

Croatian Ministry of Defence procurement plan for 2012.
Roncevic was better at least he bought military equipment G36, Iveco LMV Iveco Trucks.Croatian Ministry of Defence plans to spend 12.7 million on the purchase of passenger car leasing. More HRK 800,000 was provided for the purchase of four buses with 30-35 seats, also leasing of seven years.

Regarding the article and your oppinion: Don't be sad, it's just about everywhere the same.
At least that could have been outsourced i.e. contracted external psychological experts with tests included in price of service.
That is true...440. Musical Instruments and Equipment 250.000kn
981.Music sheet 50.000kn..
together kn 470 000
