    Nah, bro, Italy was the luckiest of the former Axis powers after the war because we had the chance to keep in service lots of cruisers and destroyers. One of them, the old Duca degli Abruzzi (Duke of Abruzzi) was refitted and became the first nuclear missile cruiser of Europe. Since then we always had a Navy up to the task.

    The need for range for the French FREMM is due to the fact that France is the country with the largest exclusive economic zone in the world (11,691,000 km2), not necessarily to reduce budget. It therefore needs enough range (so less equipment) to pretty much deploy anywhere in the world, which isn't the case for Italy.

    @@pdofficial3137 I'm getting sick and tired of this white flag narrative, so here is a bit of history for you. During WW2, France had to defend the Netherlands, Belgium, the UK and France. Whilst the Dutch gave up to the invader, the French kept on fighting for the freedom of the Dutch in the battle of Zeeland for 3 more months. The British were under French command and, without receiving the order and without notifying French command, they decided to retreat to Britain, hence leaving the French and the Belgians to defend the English whilst they were retreating during the battle of Dunkirk. To quote a german general in Dunkirk : "Despite our overwhelming numerical superiority, the French counter-attacked at several points. I can't understand how these soldiers, sometimes fighting at 1:20 odds, found the strength to attack. It's astonishing. I find in these soldiers the same ardour as in Verdun in 1916. We're not getting anywhere and we're suffering terrifying losses. [Dunkirk proved to me that the French soldier is one of the best in the world. The French artillery, so feared in 14-18, once again demonstrated its formidable effectiveness. Our losses were terrifying: many battalions lost 60% of their strength, sometimes even more!" General von Küchler, commander of the 18th Army of the Wehrmacht. France was then invaded and indeed collaborated with the invader, which is a complete stain on our history, but let's not forget the Netherlands is where the most je*s were deported compared to the amount of population. Little after France got invaded, the French fleet docked to a port in Algeria (former French colony) to keep the ships for liberation. The British navy arrived near the port (that was completely docked at port) and gave the French an ultimatum : either give the Brits the French ships away (because the French ships were technologically superior to the British ships and the Brits wanted them for the defence of their island), or get shot down. The French navy chose the last choice. (it precisely happened in Mers el-Kebir). So to summarize : France had to defend four countries (including itself), of which two of them gave up / retrieved, only to get almost their entire navy destroyed by an ally who, let's be honest, if it hadn't been for the German bombings on London wouldn't have moved a single toe to help liberate Europe. I am not diminishing the sacrifices that the English and Dutch have undergone in any ways, it's all politics, but in this story, the French were clearly the bravest. During the Korean War, the French were fighting in Indochina and Algeria (not saying it was justified, just to give context), so only 3.000 were sent to Korea. It has been reported by US soldiers that, at some point during fighting, the French ran out of ammunition. What they did to stop the enemy's progress is put their bayonets on their rifles and charged in direction of the enemy (c.f., Battle of Wonju). Out of a total strength of 3,000 men over a period of three years, the French battalion will have lost 263: this represents a loss of around 10%, which is the biggest loss among foreign contingents. The French UN battalion received two Presidential Commendations (awarded to units of the United States and allied countries for extraordinary heroism in action against an armed enemy) from the Republic of Korea, three Presidential Commendations from the United States, and was cited five times in the French Army Order. These are a mere few events of bravery French soldiers have done, and as a final reminder : France as a country has won the most battle of all countries in the world.

    It's notable to state that the weapon system, OTO/Melara 76mm is one of the best naval guns ever created. In the Italian version otherwise it's even better because it uses a special technology able to make shells follow a laser toward target. It's unique in the world. Ultimately, in these days the Italian destroyer Caio Duilio is deployed in the Red Sea tasked with the mission of protect convoys from the Houti attacks. To this day, it took down 3 drones in two different attacks.

    Italy did not received 10 FREMM (not yet) ,as 2 were sold to Egypt before completion. 2 More FREMMs, are now under construction and 2 more have been ordered for a total of 12 ships. The 2 FREMMs under construction which will replace the ones sold, will be upgraded to the "Plus" variant, a full GP frigate with a complete ASW suite on top. The next two FREMMs, still in the design phase, will be upgraded to the EVO stage with a similar command bridge and radar suit to that of the PPA (Thaon di Revel class), with a mix of improved Aster 30 and CAMM-ER missiles. The displacement of these ships will increase accordingly despite a larger use of composites in the superstructures. I never heard of the Bergamini being "faster" then the Aquitaine, having the exact same set up of engines and lenght and both reaching slightly above 26 knots. 3:09 The OTOMAT is NOT "less modern" or "Cheaper" then the Exocet: please check your sources! Teseo Mk2/A actually is a younger and more expensive missile then the French Exocet (MM40 Block 3): it is also notably heavier with almost double the warhead and a longer range. The Teseo Mk2/A is closer to a cruise missile, able to strike sea and land targets while the Exocet is strictly an anti ship weapon. The differences in weight are easily understood as the Exocet was borne as an Air to Sea weapon, while the Otomat is just too heavy for that use and Italy employs the Marte on planes and helicopters. The reason for the different choice is that the French "Offensive" FREMMs (Alsace and Loraine) are equipped with Sliver 70 PAMM launchers, able to fire SCALP cruise missiles for ground objective targeting, while the Italian frigates do not carry the SCALP and employ the Teseo for all kind of offensive roles. All the other french FREMM are in the ASW set up. About the Constellation, I think the navy will come to regret the decision to stick with tiny 57mm guns: Italian and French ships are shooting down Houti drones with 76mm cannons which are effective at range, cheap to use and easy to restock, while the USN has to shot them down with AA missiles that costs orders of magnitudes more then the target they are supposed to "Kill": we could say that when an AA missile intercepts a drone, it is the drone that gets the kill! 😑

    nice post except for a few details. The French ASW fremm all have A70 Sylver VLS and can shoot the MDCN cruise missile, in fact they fired the MDCN in combat in Syria 2013. However, the last 2 Fremm frigates (Alsace and Lorraine with new improved Herakles radar) cannot shoot cruise missile since only fitted with A50 Sylver VLS for Aster 15 and 30. While it is true that technically the Teseo can strike land it has very limited land attack capability with about 180km range. To call it a cruise missile is a huge stretch when an MDCN or Tomahawk are proper cruise missiles with terrain following capability and much bigger ranges of well over 1000km. Lastly Teseo Mk2a is not more modern than latest Exocet version. Teseo Mk2A is in service since 2008 whereas all Fremm were upgraded with Block 3C Exocet in 2022.

    The makers of the FREMM missed a big opportunity with Canada. Canada was choosing a replacement for its current frigates and destroyers (one basic hull design, two variants). A competition was held between British, German, and (I think) Netherlands' designs for the basic design. But the FREMM manufacturers declined to compete in the contest with the FREMM design while the Canadian government was asking for designs. Instead the FREMM team tried to wait until the Canadian decision was already made (for a version of the UK Type 26), and tried to sneak in at the last minute with an off-the-shelf design that would undercut the Type 26 on price, and maybe use political pressure to get the decision changed. However, the sales strategy failed totally, as they were told that they had wanted the business, they should have participated the selection process properly, not tried to do an end-run around it.

    The changes of the original design of the FREMM by the USN are so important that all the blueprints of the Italian ship have been modified. And the funniest thing is that some of those mods make operating the ship on heavy sea "problematic" unlike the original FREMM.

    ​@@Ezekiel903He is right. The USN modified all the blueprints of the original design, so much than the ship seem to have problems on heavy sea. "The design of the Constellation-class ships is based on the Italian FREMM multi-mission frigate parent design that was modified by ship designer Gibbs & Cox to accommodate Navy survivability and equipment requirements. The Leidos subsidiary, Fincantieri and Naval Sea Systems Command wrestled with Americanizing the FREMM design for two and half years before it hit the 80 percent design completion and could begin fabrication on Constellation in 2022. The modification of the design altered almost every drawing of the FREMM and required review from NAVSEA, USNI News understands. “[The Navy] and the shipbuilder agreed that design maturity was probably the single biggest factor we could do to reduce the risk of production,” former program executive officer for unmanned and small combatants Rear Adm. Casey Moton said in August of 2022. For example, testing at Naval Surface Warfare Center, Carderock found that the modified design did not meet service standards for operating in heavy seas, necessitating design changes that ate into the schedule margin the yard wanted to have for the first-in-class ship. “We were already into the functional and detail design when that report came from Carderock - something of a surprise because the parent design didn’t really have that,” Vandroff said." news.usni.org/2024/01/11/first-constellation-frigate-delayed-at-least-a-year-schedule-assessment-ongoing

    Italians DO have A70 Sylver VLS.

A tech that France and even USA (that is starting now to engineer their 55mm guided ammos) have. The Italians do not need 32 VLS cells, cause they have guided ammos already battle proven (are the 155mm gps version of the Vulcano guided minimissiles, sended to Ukraine on the Italian PZH2000 that destroyed, alongside US himars, most of the Russian MBT). All with the cost benefit to spare the missiles on the ship when they're really need to launch them.

    @@solinvictus1234 sorry but a lot of whatbyou said is totally false. 1. Italian Fremm have 16xA50 Sylver VLS, they do not have A70 2. SCALP is an air launched weapon from Rafale, Typhoon its is not a surface launched weapon, so cannot launch from ship. 3. MDCN is the ship based cruise missile derived from SCALP. Italy doesnt have any, only France has MDCN 4. Aster 30 Block 1 is not yet operational for any navy yet. Aster 30 block 1 is only available on land system SAMP/T currently used by France and Italy. The first navy that will deploy Aster 30 block 1 will be the UK on Type 45 circa 2026. French and Italian navies will have Aster 30 block 1 after as part of the Horizon class mid-life upgrade/refit

    @@lordtemplar9274 1. Italy had the A50 with the first branch of FREMM they replaced with the A70. 2. I know what the SCALP is, de facto is a storm shadow, Italian have the SCALPby the way, confiemed by the British minister of defence that in the updating of weapon sended to Ukraine stated that Italy also sended there their SCALP. 3. Italy acquired the MBDA FC-AWS that is the new MBDA ceuise missile, naval and for geound attack, it will be delivered in 2028. 4. Italy will be the navy alongside France and UK to have the Aster 30 block 1 fitted on their ships after the ships modification that by the way are already under way. As France Italy already have it in their Samp/T. It's an MBDA missile built by France and Italy by the way. So nothing false by me, you're just lacking info.

    @@solinvictus1234 1. as i said before Italy does not have any A70 Sylver VLS on any ship, only A50 Sylver VLS. Naval Group (ex DCNS) makes them and never received such an order from Italy. The only ships in Italian Navy that are planned to have the A70 Sylver are the DDX destroyers (12k tons) that are not built yet 2. I never said Italy did not have SCALP. I said SCALP is an air launched weapon only and that it is carried by Typhoon (which Italian Air Force uses). I also said that Italy has no MDCN which is the naval cruise missile launched from A70 Sylver VLS. Italy has neither, only France has this currently. 3. yes there is a target date for 2028 for a land attack variant, but there is also still a lot of questions as to what that actually is. ie is it air launched or surface launched? if surface launched, then is it VLS launched as the UK wants or canister launched (similar to Exocet and Teseo) like France and Italy want? is it the subsonic or supersonic version? Anyway it's not all very clear, at least for the general public. We will have to wait to get more details, hopefully sooner rather than later. 4. I said that exactly, so not sure what you are arguing about ie it is part of Horizon class upgrade. You originally said in your first sentence in you first that Italy "actually have" which is present tense. This is simply not true since Italy and France just signed the agreement on what they will upgrade and workshare split. So far this is a signed paper and the actual refit of ship won't be finished and in service in Italian and French navies for a few more years. As I said the Royal Navy will be the first navy to have Aster 30 Block 1 on Type 45 in service by 2026! So you were wrong and just too proud to admit it. have a good day

    @@solinvictus1234sorry buddy, but none of the Italian FREMMs have the same capabilities as the French ones. Italy chose to make 3 types of fremm, each one for a purpose, and each one under armed in their purpose, unlike France’s multi mission frigate.
