The 127mm gun of the Italian FREMM GP can also fire Vulcano long-range guided shells (currently 80km, 120km with the incoming block C), turning it into a further anti-ship / land missile launcher.
The Acquitaine class is classified as a Destroyer as per NATO standards. The Bergamini class as a Frigate. As such the former one is strictly superior in terms of capabilities. From a Frenchman to another, you have no clue of what you're talking about

Italian navy FREMM 9 and 10 have a new configuration, they have GP features + the ASW suite (Captas 4 towed sonar) and othe enhancements. FREMM 11 and 12 will be "EVO" version, with fixed face radars in band C and X and other new equipment. It is said that a little bit longer than current design.
Old news. The Greek version of the Belharra FDI French Frigates take the lead. The Greek version will be heavier with additional equipment. 32 vertical cells for ASTER 15 and ASTER 30, unlike 16 like the French. Exocet block III, SCALP NAVAL, 2 independent radars for protection, 2 independent anti-sumbarine radars with torpedoes. RAM defense included. MH60R, the most advanced ASW helicopters included, we just received the first ones. These ships will be unbeatable in a 200 nm radius. Only the cannon at the front will be from Melara.
Little detail our Italian friends tend to forget : the french frigate comes with a national +1000km cruise missile while the Italian... Well. Italy still does not operate cruise missiles in its navy.
@@edouardmontfort7816 Meanwhile, the additional SCALP Cruise Missiles plus the Exocet block II/III we ordered and we've got in Greece can both be fired by two platforms, Ship (Belharra) and Aircraft (Rafale/Mirage 2000-5). The Rafale carry Meteor and MICA II, but I think the 'Meteor' is simply the English name/term. What I love about the French weapons, in Greece they're called, "the little French communities" and obviously, the fact you don't sell to our mortal enemy, Turkey. Our French weapons are our wildcard since they don't know them.
The French FREMM class is classified as a Destroyer by NATO standards. The Italian one is classified as a Frigate. That's enough to end the debate. It has more capabilities. Now are these worth the extra cost ? That's another debate. But on an unit basis, its strictly superior
@@Laconic-Spartan-GRMeteor is the name of the FOX-3 Air-to-Air missile developed by MBDA, which is currently the best of its kind. Stormshadow is the English name of the SCALP
Anti ship missiles also differ, with the French opting for the lighter and less expensive Exocet, side by side with the Scalp cruise missile, while Italy opted for the Teseo 2, which is heavier and has a longer range, able to hit ground target at the same time, plus the Vulcano guided ammunitions on the 127mm. 2 FREMM GP+ have been launched by Italy The Emilio Bianchi (F598) and the Spartaco Schergat (F599) after selling the previous 2 (with the same names) to Egypt. These are GP version with a complete ASW suit, making them probably the best so far. Two more named FREMM Evo are under design, with the same bridge and radar suit of the PPA Thaon di Revell in the "Full configuration", 16 Aster 30 and probably another 16 Sliver launch wells dedicated to CAMM ER multiple launchers, massively increasing the available missiles on board, due to the experience with both Ukraine and the Red Sea scenary. The anti ship suit will also be improved with the Teseo 2 NG and subsequently the new multi purpose cruise missile. Both the EVO frigates were already funded by the Italian Parliament in 2023.
The Exocet MM40 block 3C that equips the French Fremm has a longer range than the teseo 2, is more modern, and can also hit land targets. The Bergamini class is only equipped with 16 vls: aster 15. The Aquitaine class is equipped with 32 vls: 16 aster (15 or 30 depending on the ships) and 16 MDCN long range cruise missiles (>1000kms). Every French Fremm is ASW, not every Bergamini is. They are two kind of ships for two different nations with different purposes. The Italians only operate in the Mediterranean and thus the 127mm gun is a good option for land attack, the French operate worldwide and the MDCN is more appropriate.
@@brunol-p_g8800The Teseo Mk2Evo is more modern that the Exocet (it’s entering service soon) and the 16 vls cells have aster 15 and 30 not only 15 (like you said). And also the italian navy operates also outside mediterranean think to houthi in the red sea. So if you don’t know things don’t comment saying bullshit. I’m not french and I don’t comment saying things about the french navy that I don’t know. So you should do. Thanks
@@brunol-p_g8800 i don't believe in "this is better then that" , unless age and generational upgrades apply. I still believe France cheeped out a bit too much in the design, and then wasted all the saving building too few ships. Both ship classes are going into MLU cycles soon and then things are going to change further. I think the CAMM-ER upgrade could be a game changer, especially with another 16 cell launcher on both ships, Bergamini and Aquitaine, as they are lacking in endurance when it comes to AA support. The CAMM-ER is less expensive then the Aster 15 and hosts at least 3 missiles for each launchers instead of one. Currently the Bergamini class only carries Aster 30 anyway and only France uses the ASTER 15, a version that should be phased out, as, while the ASTER 30 is capable and justifies it size in the launcher with range and anti Ballistic Missile capabilities, the 15 version is too limited for what it costs and taking a full Sliver launcher! Another problem (AA wise) with France is that the Sliver 70 launchers exists only on 2 ships (Alsace and Loraine) currently filling those Slivers with SCALP cruise missiles, so it contributes nothing to the air defence. Because the SCALP is a powerfull long range weapon, the Exocet is NOT used for ground attack and obviously, the last generation Exocet has to be compared to its equivalent in the Teseo line. Both will be superseeded by the next Gen multi role cruise weapon under development by MBDA. My point is that Italy uses a heavier warhead on the Teseo (much heavier, to the point that no AS version is possible), because Italy does not uses SCALP on the Bergamini, and that's why there are no Sliver 70 on the Italian Ships. Both ship classes need an upgrade, badly: if the Red Sea mission taught anything is that you cannot use expensive ASTER to bring down cheap drones, or the drone will get the kill over the missile. 16 missiles is not nearly enough to fend off saturation attacks, providing a 600M Euros juicy target for 400K Euros worth of drones launched (18). The CAMM-ER has been selected by Italy and the UK: I don't know what France will chose, but even an ASRAAM based missile is too expensive and too limited in numbers. For that role I guess specifics AA shells could be designed for the 127mm gun, able to kill hostiles at longer distance, with the 76mm covering the shorter range bauble and the point defence system as last resort. This is not just a FREMM problem: American destroyers and frigates will suffer the same limitations, even more, as the Constellation dropped the long range 76mm for a much less effective, at range, 57mm gun. At least the type 41 launchers of the USN can carry several standard missiles instead of just one but the cost effectiveness problem remain. It is not about just having spare missiles in stock, but rather about logistics and the need to refill those launchers, which is almost impossible to do at sea.
The Sylver A70 VLS, for Scalp Naval cruise missiles, is only installed on the 6 ASW Aquitaine Class. The Air Defence FREMM (Alsace sub-class) has only A50 VLS with 32 cells to host a variable mix of Aster 15 and 30 (the 15 is necessary to provide close range air defence, as the Aster 30 has a minimal range). The Horizon class also have 32 Sylver A50 cells for their Aster 30, plus 16 A43 for their Aster 15. The future french "FDI" also has A50 VLS cells.
@@Leptospirosi"Too few ships". The French Navy has 10 destroyers. The Italian navy 4 🤡 The Acquitaine class FREMM was meant to be a Destroyer, unlike the Bergamini. We're currently building FDI to expand on Frigates, which is why we didn't make so much FREMMs I agree with you on the necessity to work on acquiring a cost effective alternative for anti-drone warfare, this much is a given. I've no doubt it's planned and will be retrofitted. Narwals CIWS tho serviceable arent nearly enough
Dude it's a Frigate, it's solely role is escorting the fleet and searching for enemy submarines, plus doing support in AAW or ASUW. It's not a Destroyer or higher.
It is already going out of hand, budget wise: in the last 10 years the USN seems incapable to create any functional design and stick to it, everybody scrambling to change, modify and revise everything already agreed upon. The CODAG propulsion system itself has been a disaster: the USN never having built one before (while common in Europe), and yet insisting to start its own design from scratch. Apparently each Constellation already exceed 900 Millions per ship and rising, while a Bergamini+ currently costs 600M.
@@NoOne2367216 they’re not xenophobic and have plenty of foreign companies. You just have to build it in the US. Same as any country would do. And modifying everything after contract awarded is typical. Looks cheap to Congress and then they make it expensive afterwards. Congress should cancel the ship.
@@NoOne2367216 Yes, I know they will build it in the US. Thats good so they get new building technologies from Europe. But because of the changes, its very expensive and I don't understand how they get away with this.
The Bergamini class have less VLS cells cause they have 76mm Strales or 127mm Vulcano Laser/IR/GPS guided ammos and shells (so less missile useless waste for precision target, so less missile required to shoot down light-medium targets, so saving costs). Also the Bergamini clas have two TRIPLE Mu90 Torpedo launcer, the Aquitaine class have two DOUBLE Mu90 Torpedo launcer. The Bergamini is better also on that.
Actually, the space for the second Sliver cell block is currently used for crewmembers living space. It can be installed without gutting the ship through. Befire Ukraine, 16 cells were demmed enough and even the two French FREMM that have the Sliver 70 installed use it for Scalp missiles and not Asters. I expect things to change after the mission in the red Sea, as soon as the first MLU cycle will go underway.
3 times less VLS cells yeah, 16 vs 48. Such amounts of coping is honnestly ridiculous. You can try to provide a reasoning for the decreased capabilities, still the fact of the matter remain that its a strictly inferior ship Your 127mm and 76mm guns, as nice as they are, cannot strike accurately further than a dozen miles, and can't engage airwings. End of the debate lmao
@Jugement As i was saying, you should run your brain before coping so much. It have 16 cells and not 48 for a simple reason, the Italians use laser/IR/GPS 76mm guided ammos (Strales) to intercept drones fighter jets and small boats and 127mm guided shells (Vulcano) for huge boats and land attack. It mean no missiles waste due the high precision of guided ammos and shells, it mean cost effectiveness not having to waste missiles for low tier targets. Also, the 76mm have a range of 18 kilometers, the 127mm Vulcano have a range of 80 kilometers and 120 kilometers with block 1, both with a strike precision of less than 1 meter. Both well enough to attack or intercepting anything you want. French does not have guided ammos or shells, so they have to rely only on missiles on interception or chirurgical attack. You know sh-it my dude, stop coping cause this is the second sh.itty figure you've made so far.
I can see how this debate will go... "The French FREMM is better, because in the galley, they serve French food." "No, the Italian FREMM is better because in the gallery, they serve Italian food." Soon FREMMs are throwing missiles at each other.
On the French version, the land attack missile is the MDCN, isn’t it? And the French have 16 of them plus 16 aster 30 on the most modern of their frigates. In addition, every French frigate has a towed array sonar. But the italians have such sonars on only 6 of their frigates and only 16aster 30 (no mdcn). However, they can carry 2 helicopters, they have a bigger possibility of evolution and anti-ship missiles that can strike ashore targets…
While the Fremm may be newer, she is not really better than the German Sachsen class or the Dutch 7-provincien class. The latter has ABM tracking capabilities (not yet ABM missiles)... The Fremm does have better anti-ship capabilities as the Harpoon is pretty outdated but not yet replaced by Germany or the Netherlands.
These are different ships for different requirements. First of all, the FREMM is a 100% European program in all its components, meaning sales cannot be vetoed by the USA. Another factor is that both ships were built to work in extensive fleets compared to the German and Dutch counterparts: this means that their weapon systems perfectly merge with carriers and destroyers in the same fleet, sharing data and missile guidance systems. The F110 from Spain is the closer ship currently in service, but is technically a Spanish Hull with a complete US navy components on board, like a smaller Arleigh Bourke. The fact that a FREMM was chosen by the USN for the Constellation program should hint to something there. The type 42 from the UK is interesting but is conceived with a heavy ASW bias, as the Type 45 is their main AA platform, meaning the FREMM is much more flexible.
NSM is coming to the Netherlands. First batch is currently being built into the older frigates and the Tromp class systems is going into the new frigates when they are decommissioned. And we received the first ABM missile for testing this year. They will be in the new frigates. And the new generation of Tomahawk is also in the books.
France call it's ships "first class and second class frigades" in the end "Destroyer" is an old concept as there are no more torpedo boat hunt and destroy. The Duilio class is classified as a "destroyer", displacing about 7700 tons. The Marcantonio Colonna (Fremm+) is very close to 7000 tons and is classified "Frigade". The 10000 ton Aleigh Bourke is classified as "Destroyer", whille the F125 from Germany is classified "Frigade", displacing 9900tons. In the end, naming means very little.
@@Leptospirosi In France there were other class names for ships (WWII). The "torpilleur" (torpedo boat?) and the "contre-torpilleur" (destroyer). The torpilleur was small, around 600 tx where the "contre-torpilleur" had around 2600 tx, the "contre-torpilleur" is the equivalent of the destroyer. During WWII France had no ships named frigate (apart from a flower class). The mame frigate came back to France after WWII instead of destroyer.
@@LeptospirosiNATO still uses Destroyer as a class, just to assess capabilities. Different countries have different naming conventions, but what matters in the end is how they stack up against each other in terms of capabilities
1:08 « the French Fremm is relatively average.. » Sorry?! The French Fremm (both ASW and AA variants) is considered and recognised as the West’s best ASW frigate, holds the Hook’em award two years in a row, is combat proven both on land attack (MDCN in North Africa) and air defense ( against cruise missiles, ballistic missiles snd drones in the Red Sea).

The italian Bergamini ASW use the same towed and hull sonar as the french FREMM. The italian ones has the advantage that they can carry two helicopters that allows a longer deployment in subs hunting. French and italian units were designed fir different deployment roles. Just look a crew numbers. The Bergamini GP an area defence role for others ships. Italian FREMM are fadter ships since the have a different propulsion tranfer system. French units have a maximum speed of about 37 km, italian units have a maximum.speed of about 31 kn. Different roles, different configuratipns.

For Indonesia, the current Bergamini GP+ is the best IMO: Idonesia does not have specific nieche for its frigate and the GP is the most flexible for sea control. This been said, given the time that the program will require, I'd rather wait for the new FREMM EVO now in design: Indonesia just acquired two Thaon di Revell and the new Fremm will have an almost identical setup for radar and pilot seats. All the systems will be almost identical, which is logystically sounding. Another option would be to buy more, cheaper and flexible PPI, as ships of that class will be in service anyway. This means crews will be interchangeable and two separate logystic chains will not be required. Indonesia needs IMO as many ships as it can afford due the the size of the nation, and not being directly in a potential war hotspot, the Revell class will offer more flexibility in peace time for disaster relief and troop deployment. It is also less expensive, especially to operate, has very decent defensive capabilities, plus a higher speed, with the same fuel consumption, and space for dedicated standard containers to deploy where needed. The PPA full version has very decent ASW capabilities and good AA protection, with the ability to act for pirate control missions and trafic lane protection thank to its speed and good anti ship armament. The FDI or the Mogami all could work, but they are, relatively speaking, cheaper and less capable FREMMs, without much added value at what FREMMs are not very good at. Missile choice is up to Indonesia as this generation of Kronos radar can easily adapt Aster, CAMM-ER, MICA, Exocet, Teseo, Scalp, and newer missiles from MBDA.
The Italians tend to operate mainly in the Mediterranean. France has more global oblications. Operating in the Med, Italians can count on land-based air for support. The French needs a more rounded frigate, probably with more endurance.
Anda salah, Indonesia saat ini belum memiliki kontrak efektif apapun terkait FREMM bergamini. Jika yang anda katakan adalah deal kontrak PPA thaon di revel untuk Indonesia maka anda benar
You call them frigates, but the French ones carry a "Dxxx" NATO hull number as destroyers (unlike the Italian ones and most comparable European ships, and despite being called locally "frégates" because we don't use the word "destroyer"). It's a bit confusing...
It's only a nominative thing. To say the new Italian PPA (Ofshore Patrol Vessel) it is way more heavily armed than any French or Italian destroyer, but the facto is a light frigate categorized as Offshore Patrol Vessel, due political reason.
@@Jugement I know that is a NATO designation smartass, but as i said is just nominative, cause they can be called frigates and being more heavily armed than a normal frigate, but still being called "frigate" as designation.

L'indicatif visuel des frégates est précédé par un « D » (destroyer ou frégate de 1er rang) ou par un « F » (frigate ou frégate de 2e rang) pour les bâtiments de plus faible tonnage (frégates de surveillance, frégates légères furtives, avisos) ; les FREMM française sont des destroyer pour l'OTAN alors que les FREMM italienne sont classés comme frégates. Pour l'OTAN un destroyer est plus puissant qu'une frégate qui est elle plus puissante qu'une corvette ......

Disparition de la lutte anti sous marine sur certains modèle au profit d'une capacité de défense anti aérienne .
The idea was to adopt the FREMM Bergamini for the USN Constellation-class to quickly get hulls in the water. Instead USN has changed everything exploding the cost and delivery times; what happened USN? You used to be able to build ships! After the LCS and Zum I think a few admirals need to be shit-canned.
@@piter6076 its just semantics, in french torpedo boat destroyer is 'contre torpilleur' which mean counter torpedo boat, were not going to call it a "contre" "counter" it sounds really bad, also using the term destroyer which used to be small fast short range attack boat for nowadays multipurpose surface combatant, ships that are neither small nor cheap doesn't make much sense
So, it costs about £10 billion to develop a modern fighter. I wonder how much it costs to develop a modern frigate design? I would guess about £500 million, including a combat system.
According to costs, and not considering the two incoming EVO version from Italy, the price is around 600 millions per ship, Italy having more expensive versions but optimized by doubling the numbers comparing to France. These are extremely expensive ships, both France and Italy having cheaper and sliglty sidestepping (Italy) versions with their FDI and PPA frigades
French FREMM are stealthier both against radars and sonar. They're better ASW platforms, which is their initial role. Then, some got either Land attack capabilities or increased air defense capabilities. But their primary focus is to defend the carrier against submarines. The air wing can deal with air targets. Meanwhile italians don't have a carrier as capable. They also have smaller crews. It allows French navy to have 2 crews for each boat. It allows French FREMM to be at see more than 160 days a year, meanwhile the "better" italian frigates are harbour queens.
*Laughs in Type 26 Frigate* Okay everybody, Type 26 is British, do those 72 VLS cells a favour (and it is "favour and favourite, not favor and favourite") and it is "defence" not "defense" and don't use the american misspellings
Their both weak. Type 26 has 24 MK41 VLS that can be quad packed with Sea Ceptor. It also has 48 dedicated Sea Ceptor VLS. It radar is an AESA derived from SAMSON MFR technology. It has the best ASW capability in Europe even better then the Type 23 frigate.
I think the Italian version is the best and the strongest over all FREMM Frigate, it took you a long time to make this point. With every negative point of the French version you tried real hard to point out excuses for its less than better performance. You majority of video time was spent on the French version even though it was less then. Work the video time out for yourself and this will become evident.

600 millions is average for what they do: similar ships, like the F110 and the Type 42 cost about the same. The constellation program is the usual USN mess, with everyone scrambling to modify, change and replace everything depending to who is lobbying more. 900 millions price tag is the minimum you can expect, given the program is at prototype stage. By adopting the original CODAG power plant instead of a completely new one form a nation that has no experience with those, prices could have been contained to a more reasonable figures. Think about the Zumwalt and the LCA program and you'll see where my statements are coming from.

I will chose the Italian one with 16 VLS cells but with 76mm Laser/IR guided ammos at the back and a 127mm cannon at the front with Vulcano GPS guided shells (basically minimissile without engine). So i could use missiles when i really need it and don't waste them (cause they cost a lot), using the 76mm guided ammo to strike drones or fighters jet and then using the 127 cannons with GPS guided shells to sunk huge ships and land attack. And i will spent 10 time less money that a French variant would cost me.
@@solinvictus1234All while confortably ignoring the fact that the range a naval gun can reliably hit a moving target is a few miles at most, while missiles can go from a few dozen up to several hundreds.

@Jugement Nope you're just ignoring that is utterly stupid waste a single missile that can do hundreds of miles and cost no less than 1 million solely to intercept a drone or a fighter jet some mules away, when you can do that with guided ammos that cast immensely less than a single missile and produce the same effect.

Rubbish the UK Type 26 is the-best European frigate and has won several international contests against the French/Italian design. The T26 won both the Canadian and Australian frigate contests. The UK T26 is a better ASW platform and formidable anti-surface and anti-air abilities. Two are currently fitting out prior to commissioning. The French/Italian ships are older designs and less flexible.
French and Italian ships are no older and no less flexible. The future type 26 frigate will by no means be the best frigate in Europe. Let's hope it doesn't end up like the Type 23 and Type 45, often in port with problems. The French FDI frigate is a state-of-the-art frigate with excellent sensors. The best anti-submarine frigates are French.
The 127mm gun of the Italian FREMM GP can also fire Vulcano long-range guided shells (currently 80km, 120km with the incoming block C), turning it into a further anti-ship / land missile launcher.

Exocet block III, SCALP NAVAL, 2 independent radars for protection, 2 independent anti-sumbarine radars with torpedoes. RAM defense included. MH60R, the most advanced ASW helicopters included, we just received the first ones. These ships will be unbeatable in a 200 nm radius. Only the cannon at the front will be from Melara.
Little detail our Italian friends tend to forget : the french frigate comes with a national +1000km cruise missile while the Italian... Well. Italy still does not operate cruise missiles in its navy.
@@edouardmontfort7816 Meanwhile, the additional SCALP Cruise Missiles plus the Exocet block II/III we ordered and we've got in Greece can both be fired by two platforms, Ship (Belharra) and Aircraft (Rafale/Mirage 2000-5). The Rafale carry Meteor and MICA II, but I think the 'Meteor' is simply the English name/term.
What I love about the French weapons, in Greece they're called, "the little French communities" and obviously, the fact you don't sell to our mortal enemy, Turkey. Our French weapons are our wildcard since they don't know them.
The French FREMM class is classified as a Destroyer by NATO standards. The Italian one is classified as a Frigate. That's enough to end the debate. It has more capabilities. Now are these worth the extra cost ? That's another debate. But on an unit basis, its strictly superior
@@Laconic-Spartan-GRMeteor is the name of the FOX-3 Air-to-Air missile developed by MBDA, which is currently the best of its kind. Stormshadow is the English name of the SCALP
Anti ship missiles also differ, with the French opting for the lighter and less expensive Exocet, side by side with the Scalp cruise missile, while Italy opted for the Teseo 2, which is heavier and has a longer range, able to hit ground target at the same time, plus the Vulcano guided ammunitions on the 127mm.
2 FREMM GP+ have been launched by Italy The Emilio Bianchi (F598) and the Spartaco Schergat (F599) after selling the previous 2 (with the same names) to Egypt. These are GP version with a complete ASW suit, making them probably the best so far.
Two more named FREMM Evo are under design, with the same bridge and radar suit of the PPA Thaon di Revell in the "Full configuration", 16 Aster 30 and probably another 16 Sliver launch wells dedicated to CAMM ER multiple launchers, massively increasing the available missiles on board, due to the experience with both Ukraine and the Red Sea scenary. The anti ship suit will also be improved with the Teseo 2 NG and subsequently the new multi purpose cruise missile. Both the EVO frigates were already funded by the Italian Parliament in 2023.
The Exocet MM40 block 3C that equips the French Fremm has a longer range than the teseo 2, is more modern, and can also hit land targets. The Bergamini class is only equipped with 16 vls: aster 15.
The Aquitaine class is equipped with 32 vls: 16 aster (15 or 30 depending on the ships) and 16 MDCN long range cruise missiles (>1000kms).
Every French Fremm is ASW, not every Bergamini is.
They are two kind of ships for two different nations with different purposes. The Italians only operate in the Mediterranean and thus the 127mm gun is a good option for land attack, the French operate worldwide and the MDCN is more appropriate.
@@brunol-p_g8800The Teseo Mk2Evo is more modern that the Exocet (it’s entering service soon) and the 16 vls cells have aster 15 and 30 not only 15 (like you said). And also the italian navy operates also outside mediterranean think to houthi in the red sea. So if you don’t know things don’t comment saying bullshit. I’m not french and I don’t comment saying things about the french navy that I don’t know.
So you should do.
Thanks
@@brunol-p_g8800 i don't believe in "this is better then that" , unless age and generational upgrades apply.
I still believe France cheeped out a bit too much in the design, and then wasted all the saving building too few ships.
Both ship classes are going into MLU cycles soon and then things are going to change further. I think the CAMM-ER upgrade could be a game changer, especially with another 16 cell launcher on both ships, Bergamini and Aquitaine, as they are lacking in endurance when it comes to AA support.
The CAMM-ER is less expensive then the Aster 15 and hosts at least 3 missiles for each launchers instead of one. Currently the Bergamini class only carries Aster 30 anyway and only France uses the ASTER 15, a version that should be phased out, as, while the ASTER 30 is capable and justifies it size in the launcher with range and anti Ballistic Missile capabilities, the 15 version is too limited for what it costs and taking a full Sliver launcher!
Another problem (AA wise) with France is that the Sliver 70 launchers exists only on 2 ships (Alsace and Loraine) currently filling those Slivers with SCALP cruise missiles, so it contributes nothing to the air defence.
Because the SCALP is a powerfull long range weapon, the Exocet is NOT used for ground attack and obviously, the last generation Exocet has to be compared to its equivalent in the Teseo line. Both will be superseeded by the next Gen multi role cruise weapon under development by MBDA.
My point is that Italy uses a heavier warhead on the Teseo (much heavier, to the point that no AS version is possible), because Italy does not uses SCALP on the Bergamini, and that's why there are no Sliver 70 on the Italian Ships.
Both ship classes need an upgrade, badly: if the Red Sea mission taught anything is that you cannot use expensive ASTER to bring down cheap drones, or the drone will get the kill over the missile. 16 missiles is not nearly enough to fend off saturation attacks, providing a 600M Euros juicy target for 400K Euros worth of drones launched (18).
The CAMM-ER has been selected by Italy and the UK: I don't know what France will chose, but even an ASRAAM based missile is too expensive and too limited in numbers. For that role I guess specifics AA shells could be designed for the 127mm gun, able to kill hostiles at longer distance, with the 76mm covering the shorter range bauble and the point defence system as last resort.
This is not just a FREMM problem: American destroyers and frigates will suffer the same limitations, even more, as the Constellation dropped the long range 76mm for a much less effective, at range, 57mm gun. At least the type 41 launchers of the USN can carry several standard missiles instead of just one but the cost effectiveness problem remain. It is not about just having spare missiles in stock, but rather about logistics and the need to refill those launchers, which is almost impossible to do at sea.
The Sylver A70 VLS, for Scalp Naval cruise missiles, is only installed on the 6 ASW Aquitaine Class.
The Air Defence FREMM (Alsace sub-class) has only A50 VLS with 32 cells to host a variable mix of Aster 15 and 30 (the 15 is necessary to provide close range air defence, as the Aster 30 has a minimal range). The Horizon class also have 32 Sylver A50 cells for their Aster 30, plus 16 A43 for their Aster 15. The future french "FDI" also has A50 VLS cells.
@@Leptospirosi"Too few ships". The French Navy has 10 destroyers. The Italian navy 4 🤡 The Acquitaine class FREMM was meant to be a Destroyer, unlike the Bergamini. We're currently building FDI to expand on Frigates, which is why we didn't make so much FREMMs
I agree with you on the necessity to work on acquiring a cost effective alternative for anti-drone warfare, this much is a given. I've no doubt it's planned and will be retrofitted. Narwals CIWS tho serviceable arent nearly enough

No. Corretto!!
no long-range missile for the Italian version

That’s nowhere near enough VLS capacity, for a large modern surface combatant.
Dude it's a Frigate, it's solely role is escorting the fleet and searching for enemy submarines, plus doing support in AAW or ASUW. It's not a Destroyer or higher.
@@solinvictus1234 Although the tonnage on that ship does make it a destroyer.
And then there is the US Constellation class version of FREMM. Commonality: 0%
The US Navy has screwed up the USS Constellation implication. Already well behind on schedule and twisted the design to a point it’s all screwed up.
At least the French CAPTAS-4.
It is already going out of hand, budget wise: in the last 10 years the USN seems incapable to create any functional design and stick to it, everybody scrambling to change, modify and revise everything already agreed upon.
The CODAG propulsion system itself has been a disaster: the USN never having built one before (while common in Europe), and yet insisting to start its own design from scratch. Apparently each Constellation already exceed 900 Millions per ship and rising, while a Bergamini+ currently costs 600M.
@@NoOne2367216 they’re not xenophobic and have plenty of foreign companies. You just have to build it in the US. Same as any country would do.
And modifying everything after contract awarded is typical. Looks cheap to Congress and then they make it expensive afterwards. Congress should cancel the ship.
@@NoOne2367216 Yes, I know they will build it in the US. Thats good so they get new building technologies from Europe. But because of the changes, its very expensive and I don't understand how they get away with this.
The Bergamini class have less VLS cells cause they have 76mm Strales or 127mm Vulcano Laser/IR/GPS guided ammos and shells (so less missile useless waste for precision target, so less missile required to shoot down light-medium targets, so saving costs).
Also the Bergamini clas have two TRIPLE Mu90 Torpedo launcer, the Aquitaine class have two DOUBLE Mu90 Torpedo launcer. The Bergamini is better also on that.
Actually, the space for the second Sliver cell block is currently used for crewmembers living space. It can be installed without gutting the ship through.
Befire Ukraine, 16 cells were demmed enough and even the two French FREMM that have the Sliver 70 installed use it for Scalp missiles and not Asters. I expect things to change after the mission in the red Sea, as soon as the first MLU cycle will go underway.
@@Leptospirosi Yep, but for now aren't necessary for the purpose the Italian navy have, maintain the control of the Med.
It will turn useful in near future terms for the geopolitical plan of the "Mediterraneo Allargato".
3 times less VLS cells yeah, 16 vs 48. Such amounts of coping is honnestly ridiculous. You can try to provide a reasoning for the decreased capabilities, still the fact of the matter remain that its a strictly inferior ship
Your 127mm and 76mm guns, as nice as they are, cannot strike accurately further than a dozen miles, and can't engage airwings. End of the debate lmao
@Jugement As i was saying, you should run your brain before coping so much. It have 16 cells and not 48 for a simple reason, the Italians use laser/IR/GPS 76mm guided ammos (Strales) to intercept drones fighter jets and small boats and 127mm guided shells (Vulcano) for huge boats and land attack. It mean no missiles waste due the high precision of guided ammos and shells, it mean cost effectiveness not having to waste missiles for low tier targets.
Also, the 76mm have a range of 18 kilometers, the 127mm Vulcano have a range of 80 kilometers and 120 kilometers with block 1, both with a strike precision of less than 1 meter.
Both well enough to attack or intercepting anything you want.
French does not have guided ammos or shells, so they have to rely only on missiles on interception or chirurgical attack.
You know sh-it my dude, stop coping cause this is the second sh.itty figure you've made so far.
I can see how this debate will go...
"The French FREMM is better, because in the galley, they serve French food."
"No, the Italian FREMM is better because in the gallery, they serve Italian food."
Soon FREMMs are throwing missiles at each other.
Missiles? No. Baguettes and pizzas, YES!
We dont fight with our Italian cousins over food, we take inspiration
On the French version, the land attack missile is the MDCN, isn’t it?
And the French have 16 of them plus 16 aster 30 on the most modern of their frigates. In addition, every French frigate has a towed array sonar. But the italians have such sonars on only 6 of their frigates and only 16aster 30 (no mdcn). However, they can carry 2 helicopters, they have a bigger possibility of evolution and anti-ship missiles that can strike ashore targets…
The Exocet MM40 block 3C carried by the French Fremm also strike land targets.
Cool 👍👍
@@brunol-p_g8800 nice, I didn’t know that
Thanks!
@@brunol-p_g8800 according to you guys in the comments, which one is the best?
While the Fremm may be newer, she is not really better than the German Sachsen class or the Dutch 7-provincien class. The latter has ABM tracking capabilities (not yet ABM missiles)...
The Fremm does have better anti-ship capabilities as the Harpoon is pretty outdated but not yet replaced by Germany or the Netherlands.
These are different ships for different requirements.
First of all, the FREMM is a 100% European program in all its components, meaning sales cannot be vetoed by the USA.
Another factor is that both ships were built to work in extensive fleets compared to the German and Dutch counterparts: this means that their weapon systems perfectly merge with carriers and destroyers in the same fleet, sharing data and missile guidance systems. The F110 from Spain is the closer ship currently in service, but is technically a Spanish Hull with a complete US navy components on board, like a smaller Arleigh Bourke. The fact that a FREMM was chosen by the USN for the Constellation program should hint to something there.
The type 42 from the UK is interesting but is conceived with a heavy ASW bias, as the Type 45 is their main AA platform, meaning the FREMM is much more flexible.
The French FREMMs have proven to be very successful against Ballistic missiles in the Red Sea.
I think FREMM are better
And the French FDI even better
NSM is coming to the Netherlands. First batch is currently being built into the older frigates and the Tromp class systems is going into the new frigates when they are decommissioned.
And we received the first ABM missile for testing this year. They will be in the new frigates. And the new generation of Tomahawk is also in the books.
The horizon class are destroyer not a frigate
The NATO name is indeed destroyer. In France we speak of a frigate, but on the registration it is indeed a D and not an F.
France call it's ships "first class and second class frigades" in the end "Destroyer" is an old concept as there are no more torpedo boat hunt and destroy. The Duilio class is classified as a "destroyer", displacing about 7700 tons. The Marcantonio Colonna (Fremm+) is very close to 7000 tons and is classified "Frigade". The 10000 ton Aleigh Bourke is classified as "Destroyer", whille the F125 from Germany is classified "Frigade", displacing 9900tons.
In the end, naming means very little.
@@Leptospirosi In France there were other class names for ships (WWII).
The "torpilleur" (torpedo boat?) and the "contre-torpilleur" (destroyer).
The torpilleur was small, around 600 tx where the "contre-torpilleur" had around 2600 tx, the "contre-torpilleur" is the equivalent of the destroyer.
During WWII France had no ships named frigate (apart from a flower class). The mame frigate came back to France after WWII instead of destroyer.
Both Horizon and Acquitaine class are Destroyers as per NATO standards. The Bergamini is a Frigate.
@@LeptospirosiNATO still uses Destroyer as a class, just to assess capabilities. Different countries have different naming conventions, but what matters in the end is how they stack up against each other in terms of capabilities
1:08 « the French Fremm is relatively average.. » Sorry?!
The French Fremm (both ASW and AA variants) is considered and recognised as the West’s best ASW frigate, holds the Hook’em award two years in a row, is combat proven both on land attack (MDCN in North Africa) and air defense ( against cruise missiles, ballistic missiles snd drones in the Red Sea).
While the Italian version is less armed in missile capacity (less VLS, no cruise missiles and only Aster 15), has never seen combat and is yet to be proven…

The italian Bergamini ASW use the same towed and hull sonar as the french FREMM.
The italian ones has the advantage that they can carry two helicopters that allows a longer deployment in subs hunting.
French and italian units were designed fir different deployment roles. Just look a crew numbers.
The Bergamini GP an area defence role for others ships. Italian FREMM are fadter ships since the have a different propulsion tranfer system. French units have a maximum speed of about 37 km, italian units have a maximum.speed of about 31 kn.

FDI
For Indonesia, the current Bergamini GP+ is the best IMO: Idonesia does not have specific nieche for its frigate and the GP is the most flexible for sea control.
This been said, given the time that the program will require, I'd rather wait for the new FREMM EVO now in design: Indonesia just acquired two Thaon di Revell and the new Fremm will have an almost identical setup for radar and pilot seats. All the systems will be almost identical, which is logystically sounding.
Another option would be to buy more, cheaper and flexible PPI, as ships of that class will be in service anyway. This means crews will be interchangeable and two separate logystic chains will not be required. Indonesia needs IMO as many ships as it can afford due the the size of the nation, and not being directly in a potential war hotspot, the Revell class will offer more flexibility in peace time for disaster relief and troop deployment. It is also less expensive, especially to operate, has very decent defensive capabilities, plus a higher speed, with the same fuel consumption, and space for dedicated standard containers to deploy where needed.
The PPA full version has very decent ASW capabilities and good AA protection, with the ability to act for pirate control missions and trafic lane protection thank to its speed and good anti ship armament.
The FDI or the Mogami all could work, but they are, relatively speaking, cheaper and less capable FREMMs, without much added value at what FREMMs are not very good at. Missile choice is up to Indonesia as this generation of Kronos radar can easily adapt Aster, CAMM-ER, MICA, Exocet, Teseo, Scalp, and newer missiles from MBDA.
The Italians tend to operate mainly in the Mediterranean. France has more global oblications. Operating in the Med, Italians can count on land-based air for support. The French needs a more rounded frigate, probably with more endurance.
Italian
The frigate with the most armaments for attacking and defence

Did they choose FREMM
I thought that they were close to FDI
So, it costs about £10 billion to develop a modern fighter. I wonder how much it costs to develop a modern frigate design? I would guess about £500 million, including a combat system.
According to costs, and not considering the two incoming EVO version from Italy, the price is around 600 millions per ship, Italy having more expensive versions but optimized by doubling the numbers comparing to France.
These are extremely expensive ships, both France and Italy having cheaper and sliglty sidestepping (Italy) versions with their FDI and PPA frigades
French FREMM are stealthier both against radars and sonar. They're better ASW platforms, which is their initial role. Then, some got either Land attack capabilities or increased air defense capabilities. But their primary focus is to defend the carrier against submarines. The air wing can deal with air targets. Meanwhile italians don't have a carrier as capable. They also have smaller crews. It allows French navy to have 2 crews for each boat. It allows French FREMM to be at see more than 160 days a year, meanwhile the "better" italian frigates are harbour queens.
*Laughs in Type 26 Frigate* Okay everybody, Type 26 is British, do those 72 VLS cells a favour (and it is "favour and favourite, not favor and favourite") and it is "defence" not "defense" and don't use the american misspellings
It's probably not the best in the world, in Asia there are rivals of the same level, it's certainly a well made ship
Their both weak. Type 26 has 24 MK41 VLS that can be quad packed with Sea Ceptor. It also has 48 dedicated Sea Ceptor VLS. It radar is an AESA derived from SAMSON MFR technology. It has the best ASW capability in Europe even better then the Type 23 frigate.
El diseño de la fragata italiana es mejor.
The design is the same.
Only the radar is different and the armament
Great video mate.
I think the Italian version is the best and the strongest over all FREMM Frigate, it took you a long time to make this point. With every negative point of the French version you tried real hard to point out excuses for its less than better performance. You majority of video time was spent on the French version even though it was less then. Work the video time out for yourself and this will become evident.

I will chose the Italian one with 16 VLS cells but with 76mm Laser/IR guided ammos at the back and a 127mm cannon at the front with Vulcano GPS guided shells (basically minimissile without engine).
So i could use missiles when i really need it and don't waste them (cause they cost a lot), using the 76mm guided ammo to strike drones or fighters jet and then using the 127 cannons with GPS guided shells to sunk huge ships and land attack. And i will spent 10 time less money that a French variant would cost me.
Several French FREMMs are capable of destroying targets over 1000 km away.
So the comparison with the 127 MM gun is meaningless.

@Jugement Nope you're just ignoring that is utterly stupid waste a single missile that can do hundreds of miles and cost no less than 1 million solely to intercept a drone or a fighter jet some mules away, when you can do that with guided ammos that cast immensely less than a single missile and produce the same effect.
Italians are smart enough to know that, you're not apparently.
That guns are very effective i. Symmetrical naval warfare and not only, the 155mm that Ukranian used alongside US Himars, to chirurgically destroy the Russian Tanks, was the Italian 155mm Vulcano guided shell that Italians have also mounted on their Pzh2000.

The French fremms have small defects, in fact Egypt that had bought a French fremm abandoned the French ones buying the Italian ones because they are better built and more versatile Morocco Who bought French fremms with small defects and is considering switching to Italian fremms
No.....

and the french make war around the planet everyday, while the italians with thier POWERFULLLLLLLLLLLL frigates are partying everyday, lol
take a moment away from the bottle of wine and start getting serious...
French makes what? ahahahah the French less than one year ago goes on their knees and crying to the Italians to asking help in Niger and Sahel. A thing that italians unluckily conceded (the French was crying too loud to not help them).
Italy are partying everyday as Germany cause their post WWII military limitations, not cause they like to partying.

@@RaySqw785 Also cause you wasn't even able to do that. And the facts that you have zero argumentation to debate me say everything.
Now return to eat your baguette in your chamber corner, thanks.
Rubbish the UK Type 26 is the-best European frigate and has won several international contests against the French/Italian design. The T26 won both the Canadian and Australian frigate contests. The UK T26 is a better ASW platform and formidable anti-surface and anti-air abilities. Two are currently fitting out prior to commissioning. The French/Italian ships are older designs and less flexible.
French and Italian ships are no older and no less flexible.
The future type 26 frigate will by no means be the best frigate in Europe.
Let's hope it doesn't end up like the Type 23 and Type 45, often in port with problems.
The French FDI frigate is a state-of-the-art frigate with excellent sensors.
The best anti-submarine frigates are French.
Easy on the booze now Barry 😂 Let's not act like British ships haven't been anything but harbor queens for the last three decades
