Construction of the most powerful frigate in the world has begun in Germany

At dock 12 of the Hamburg shipyard, the laying ceremony of the first F125 class frigate took place. The ceremony was organized by the ARGE F125 working group consisting of representatives from ThyssenKrupp Marine Systems AG, Blohm + Voss Naval GmbH and Friedrich Lürssen Werft GmbH & Co.

In accordance with the schedule was laid the first section of the frigate. In implementing this project, the German shipbuilders intend to once again demonstrate their high innovative level and production potential. The frigate is designed for deployment in the composition of the coalition forces of defense and crisis prevention, support for humanitarian actions, the fight against terrorism and asymmetric threats. The frigate is one of the most modern ships of this class in the world.

The stunning versatility of the frigate is achieved by applying the latest innovations. Despite a significant reduction in the number of crews, the frigate of this project has capabilities far beyond the capabilities of other ships of this class.

The construction contract was signed in 2007 and provides for the construction of four ships. The commissioning of all ships is scheduled for the 2016-2018 period. The program also aims to save jobs in the German shipbuilding industry.

Certificate of armament frigate class F125

The ship will be armed with an automatic 127 mm artillery unit of Melara, for which, according to Aviation Week, guided munitions with a range of up to 100 kilometers are being developed.

Earlier it was planned to equip this frigate, whose tasks included fire support of the landing (the space for 50 marines was provided on board the ship), installing 270 mm mm 227 MLRS and Kraus-Maffei Wehrmann turret, with the aid of the Kraus-Maffei Wehrmann X-gun, However, according to the NavyWeaps website, they refused these plans.

Each F-125 frigate will carry two helicopters - anti-submarine NH-90 or Tiger type drums.

The frigates are armed with a modular installation of a vertical launch of the MK 41 type, which provides for various combinations of anti-aircraft, anti-ship, anti-submarine and cruise missiles. In particular, the frigate is equipped with Harpoon Block II anti-ship missiles.

The Germans are doing it honestly !!!!

[His]

The Germans are great. Only they need to be lured to our side, At least cheap gas

[Voodoopeople]

Gas for Germans at European prices, there is no "cheap" gas. The courts are now claiming German companies against Gazprom, the European Union is now cowardly of the offices of subsidiaries.
Northern sweat is not something idealistic, any country will be “in favor” with hands and feet for diversifying the supply of raw materials, and even at the expense of others. Germany is also carrying out a number of alternative energy substitution projects. Germany will also always be a supporter of other alternative suppliers of raw materials, competition always makes the price cheaper.
So don't idealize or persuade yourself. The Germans have their own policy and there will be no frankly foreign "side". I also doubt that the Germans forgot East Prussia, like other events of the last century.

[His]

But they I think they know who took Berlin. Not Private Rain

[Joker]

When it was, if they didn’t fight in Africa and Europe in parallel with us, the outcome of the 2 world would be different.

[Alexei]

The result would be the same, only the Second World War would go seven years. Europe just worked for them. Soviet people with children without sleeping at the machines processed the floor of Europe.

[Ivan35]

Right Alexej! I support! For thousands of years, Europe could never defeat Eurasia and make it a colony. And Hitler, with an all-united Europe, still had no chance - it just might have been longer and the war would have been worse, maybe Moscow would have been surrendered - but we would have resisted.

[Alexei]

Yeah. Besides, Moscow was already taken (Napoleon), but what's the point?

[подводник]

I think we’ll not take Berlin for the third time, we’ll just raze it to the ground, as they wanted to do this with Moscow and Leningrad !!!
And they know about it !!!

Right Alexej! I support!

No, it’s not right Alex, I don’t support it! By the 43rd year, the entire Russian defense industry was restored beyond the Urals. Tanks and planes went daily to the front HUNDREDS. There were plenty of human resources. The military ice rink of Russia dispersed and balanced. The Germans no longer had ammunition by May 45, zinc with ammunition and boxes with shells and mines, directly from the factories went to the front line. Fight the Germans only one front, against Russia, the war would have lasted a month or three longer by force! I think from strength until August! So do not be clever and do not humiliate my ancestors ... clever people ...

Krasava Germany - here's a frigate with the properties of a destroyer and "assault assault". Oto Melara 127mm super - 100 km this is how Melara Volcano will be
- Landing, MLRS, the best howitzer in the world - I suppose they remembered Konensberg ...

Nevertheless, the ship has great landing capabilities, and special attention should be paid to this. If they build it, then they build it not for show-offs, but for goals.

[Dock]

Battle for the Arctic?

[Chamberlain]

for Antarctica)))

[kagorta]

Inters project is for sure. But the air assault is too sure. And to conduct special operations just right. And helicopters can be called up if anything.

[Voodoopeople]

Oto Melara - accurately removes all tactical targets within a radius of 100 km - radar, tanks, airfields, aviation, air defense systems, headquarters, etc. And it’s very fast, cheap and effective.
Self-propelled guns - also toluo (how many there are) - like up to 30 km.
MLRS - iron shore for landing for the same and other purposes.
“This is an amphibious assault ship.”

[His]

100 km is nonsense. Tomahawks hit 600 - 700 km. They will blow you up, and you won’t even know where it came from

"As part of the German naval forces, RBS15 will be installed on corvettes of the Braunschweig class. In the future, such missiles are planned to be included in the armament of frigates of the F125 project and the Brandenburg class. At present, Saab is developing RBS15 Mk.IV missiles, which will differ in an increased range of up to a thousand kilometers, a dual guidance head and a new feedback system. The German Navy is also planning to purchase these ammunition. "

100 km is nonsense

Talk nonsense? and she has a rate of fire of 3 rounds per minute, and for 100 km he launches the first projectile on a high path, the second on the middle and the third on the lay, and all three shells fly at the same time, and this is 100 kg of armor-piercing brisant. And, mind you, completely silently, in full radio mode. Tomahawk gets off even with a simple air defense for 100 km on approach, and these shells are not a single air defense of the world, and even ours is powerless, so I think that these shells are a very, very big PROBLEM And a headache for our ships! Neither his rocket, nor his cannon ... You need to think something ... Hooray!

[kagorta]

MLRS and howitzer decided not to put. The text says so.

[подводник]

And are you surprised by this?

[kagorta]

No, I had a conversation with Voodoopeople if the frigate can be considered an amphibious assault. I say that 50 Marines, this is a special operation, and he is an airborne assault. And he was going to clear the coast for landing on this frigate with a howitzer with MLRS, and I wrote to him that we decided not to put them.

In general, the ideology of OTO MELARA VULCANO is super. What for RCC then needed in that radius.
By the way, for 127mm goals - we add more ships and boats.

"The larger the cabinet, the louder it falls ..." - an unknown author.

[fedora]

For me, so the ship is not better than others, modern.
High-precision weapons operating at ranges up to 100 km are certainly good, but you need to provide them with target designation, and the ship itself with all types of combat support (air defense, missile defense, anti-aircraft defense, air defense, reconnaissance, etc., etc.). For this, Germany has not enough forces and means.
Consequently, the ship is intended for operations as part of a combined NATO group. Does this need Germany today?

The Germans are now the most reliable political ally of Russia in Europe. This can be seen both in economic activity and in the reaction of Germany to the most pressing political issues related to Russia. Germany was the country that actually blocked Ukraine’s entry into NATO under Yushchenko. At the same time, Germany is the most influential player in the EU, a real locomotive of the European economy.

Quote: rnb1983

Yes, they do and have always done, it is not for nothing that the concept of "German quality" was introduced. But the Russian school of shipbuilding has always had great authority. And with the creation of appropriate conditions for designers and scientists, competent management and sustainable financing, it has every chance to win back positions.

[подводник]

Respect and respect !!!!!

[Strategy]

What kind of political partnership between Germany and Russia can we talk about? In Germany, in your opinion, they do not understand where the money of the Russian political elite is? They do not understand in whose mainstream Russia's policy is going (on whose mill our "leaders" are pouring water)? Germany is a stable member of the Alliance (and, by the way, a loyal partner of the United States) and its frigates are a contribution to interspecific groupings of troops (forces) to defend coalition interests. Moreover, the interest of each member of this "club" is satisfied in proportion to the contribution made to the common cause. Germany did not climb into Libya, so we have not heard of its claims to this jackpot. That's it.

[Anatoliy]

Let's talk the facts ..
1. Germany is the main trade and economic partner of Russia.
2. It’s not my idea, but it’s actually that Russia has a number of problems with the countries of Eastern Europe, Georgia, and Great Britain. There are no similar problems with Germany.
3 .. 2003 was declared the Year of Russia in Germany, and 2004 - the Year of Germany in Russia. It seems to be a trifle. But it is impossible to imagine that in the current situation the Great Britain or Georgia would declare the year of Russia in their country. Such trifles do not directly affect in any way, but only fix the current relationship. They are not the worst.

Yes, Germany is a NATO member. But this is a NATO member who has brains, and which does not have the complex "enslaved by the empire" that the countries of Eastern Europe have, and this despite the difficult, at times tragic history between the countries.

Medvedev around the world is rushing with the idea of ​​modernization like Lenin with the idea of ​​world revolution. To all appeals: to the USA, the EU, etc. But there is a case in point. When the decision was made to sell the Opel plant, Germany lobbied for this idea, but the deal fell through because The United States considered that the transfer of modern technology, even production in Russia, is harmful and dangerous.

Quote: Strategia

In Germany, in your opinion, they do not understand where the money of the Russian political elite is

In my opinion, they understand perfectly. And this is understood not only in Germany, but everywhere in the world, and even in Russia itself. But dear Strategia, the corruption of the current Russian elite is well known in Belarus and Armenia, which does not prevent them from establishing partnerships with the Russian Federation.

And what does Germany have to do with it, besides the fact that the Russian government and the oligarchs (it is difficult to carry out a separation) keep their accounts in Western banks? This is an exclusively internal Russian problem. Germany has nothing to do with it. Yes, they laid down the most powerful frigate in the world. And who is stopping the laying of such a Russia? NATO occupied Russian shipyards? An important point - Russia has already laid down the most powerful frigate in the world, Novik, at the Yantar plant. Only construction has been frozen. Perhaps forever. And it was not frozen at the request of Germany. Who prevented NATO from concluding contracts for the construction of Project 955 and 885 submarines? Or maybe you think that the appointment of Serdyukov as Minister of Defense was a secret Putin-Schroeder pact with the aim of weakening the defense capability of the Russian Federation? No, it was Russian stupidity.

You just need to make competent decisions, give clearly calculated expert assessments, build a strategy for the development of the armed forces and implement it. Then the construction of a series of new super-frigates in Germany will not be scary.
