Hi, here's an italian fun of the Japanese Navy :) May i ask the name of the two radars of the Akizuki class ? I want to know things like range and capabilities(if the radar has Anti-ballistic capability). Its very hard to find information for this ship😢
Indonesia hsrus tambah PPA x FREMM x FDI untuk ditaruh di laut Cina Selatan dan jalur laut perdagangan internasional di perairan Indonesia demi menjaga stabilitas kawasan 🙏🇮🇩
I see a lot of comments saying that this ship doesen't have enough firepower for his size, which is true, but, the thing is Italy doesen't plan to fight a war with China anytime soon and the same goes for all the other european navies. So having tons of vls is basically useless if the biggest treat you are going to face is sone yemenite drone which can be shoot down with the 76 mm gun or with electronic counter-measures intead of firing a multi-million dollar missile at it. The ship is fine for what it has to do.
@@dennisnguyen8105 I think what he's saying is if the US wants to have a go at China they're welcome to, but many European navies are being built for homeland defence and for keeping places like the red sea open, hence the focus on drone and lower technology missile defence, for which 96 VLS cells carrying monsters isn't necessarily needed, which wouldn't be feasible for most if not all European navies to even build in the first place
@@dennisnguyen8105That’s exactly the opposite of what they’re saying. They are saying that European navies are focused on keeping the Mediterranean and Gulf shipping lanes open. They aren’t focusing on fighting in the Pacific, which is literally the other side of the world from them. The US is focusing on China for its own interests, because it affects their own back yard, just as Imperial Japan did.
This is not the case, the current FREMMs had a missile base that was mainly stable for defence, while the AVOS did not have a number greater than 32 VLS, but the Italian navy is changing. Mentality if we look at the PPA evo they will have 64 vls if we look at the new DDX that has now changed and they are called heavy cruisers From 14600 tons they will have 90/128 vls,The concept of carrying a high number of missiles does not mean that the ship is more powerful but not versatile, I remember that they also have 2-76 mm Strales which is a multi-role cannon and very effective in the anti-aircraft and missile and drone fields, this implements the saving of short-range missiles which have very high costs that a series With 3-dart shots, so if we consider the FREMMs as air defense they are more versatile than those that rely mainly on missiles for defense.
@@dennisnguyen8105 if we think that Cina would sell to Europe and the world globally then the only nation who would cut the line of global supply is the USA Afraid of losing its global position of dominance
I am surprised by just how heavily armed the FREMM EVO is. Not only are they already talking about expanding the amount of vls cells to accommodate the future naval cruise missile from respectable baseline for a ship of this type, they also have an impressive gun arsenal with 2 main 76 mm guns and 2 (I think) 30 mm autocannons. I think I also see torpedo tubes amidships and countermeasures mounted next to that. So a quite respectable armament. When you consider that those cannons are well suited to taking out drones, this would be ideal for the Red Sea. So 16 vls cells is actually respectable for general purpose and ASW frigates. Generally only AAW frigates have more, so the FREMM EVO isn’t lacking in this regard. Furthermore when you realize that the main adversaries of the Italian navy are non state actors, in say the Red Sea, and the Russian navy, it makes sense. If you were to face China you certainly would need more, but the Italian navy arguably aside from occasionally providing a ship to participate in freedom of navigation exercises, wouldn’t have the need or capability and capacity to meaningfully contribute. Even the Marine Nationale and Royal Navy are limited in this regard and they have the most significant expeditionary capabilities of all European powers.
veramente sei un po disinformato, sono le altre marine europee e della nato che partecipano costantemente alle esercitazioni della marina italiana in europa e non solo ,la capacita expeditionary è stata anche dimostrata quest' anno nell' indo-pacifico con italian carrier strike group formato da nave cavour la fregata alpino e il ppa montecuccoli a cui si sono associati anche navi francesi e tedesche e a bordo del cavour sono stati ospitati pure ufficiali inglesi., la presenza della marina italiana e molto piu significativa di quanto tu possa pensare
That's only on the FREMM PPA EVO variant that they can put 64 VLS, because it adds 32 in the middle of the ship. This new FREMM EVO only has 32 in the front.
It needs more missiles. Even China can fit more on their frigates. To run out defending against attacks and having to go back to port to reload means ships need more missiles and VLS in particular to be relevant in the modern naval world.
I think the reason why the Italian Navy (MMI) chose this configuration is that MMI isn’t a blue-water navy but a green-water navy. The comparison with the US Navy or the Chinese one wouldn’t be fair. In spite of this, we should appreciate the fact that the Italian Navy is trying to adopt new technologies on its ships. The quantity is also a problem…
Missiles, he can have to 64 missiles, even cruise missile, beside that, the FREMM shut down drones over 6 km distance, for which the US needed expansive missiles!
I wonder how the FREMM compares to the American Constellation class, which was based the Italian FREMM. On paper, the new Italian design is more advanced and has better sonar capability with a sonar, dome and the CAPTAS 4. The FREMM will not have that sonar dome in the front. The FREMM Evo has dual band AESA radar in the X and C band, whereas the American frigate only has an S band AESA radar. Of course, the real ships will be different than public documents and the constellation class keep being changed, which is why it's taking so long to build them.
Also: people not knowing that Italians use since 10 years now laser/IR/GPS guided 76mm and 127mm ammos (so not needed to have tons of VLS not wasting missiles in small targets, also it's cost-effective).
Firstly it's a general-purpose frigate, designed around defending against and using drones, not an AAW frigate. Secondly he talked about an ongoing project of increasing the VLS count by using the spare VLS space for larger missiles
How many VLS does it have ? The man talks a lot but beyond that there is room for A70 VLS 'in the back' I did not hear any number. The US Constellation class that is also based on the FREMM design has 32 MK41 vls. Not exactly a large number either.
Imagine going out there and buying the most expensive rifle you can find. You put everything on it. An expesive scope, a thermal that can be mounted in front of your scope, an off-set red dot, a light and a laser module connected to a switch pad. And then you buy a grand total of 16 rounds of ammo. Not more, not less. That's european ship design in a nutshell. Having sensors is great. But what are you gonna do about all the things you are sensing? Not firing missiles at them, that's for sure!
un missile costa circa 1M-4M... un colpo vulcano 1000 euro. , perchè usare missili? è stupido x questa tipologia . era un drone. certamente sono d'accordo con te, bisogna avere missili su missili contro ipersonici, vs minacce multiple... ma gli usa non vogliono un europa forte... per questo hanno distrutto l'europa... nord stream ed impedendo all'italia sud stream... in pratica per gli usa l'europa deve solo essere la scorta alle sue navi... è una politica fallimentare che decreterà la fine degli usa...

The US need the knowledge of Fincantieri, otherwise we could sell only the files between countries!

32 AA missiles plus 8AS Teseo. You also get 2 extremely capable 76mm Davide Strales, which proved extremely cost effective at shooting down Houtis missiles and Drones. Any Fremm in service can load 16 more VLS without extensive works in the dockyards because they are extremely modular. This is why the FREMM design was chosen as a blueprint for the Constellation. Keep in mind these are still Frigates, not Destroyers and VLS are not light or compact to fit inside a Hull that needs to be more than a missile carrier. Even extremely large frigates like the Germans (11000 tons+) don't carry more. Also keep in mind that the USN carries everything in VLS, while the FREMM and the PPA have separate launchers for AS missiles (Teseo or Exocet). The DDX will have 96VLS, because THAT is what Destroyers are for.
A good and valid ship is not measured by how many missiles it has but by its multi-mission capability, If we take reference to the Russian ships sunk in the Black Sea they were well armed but ineffective against drones which will be the future weapon, but Meanwhile also against other threats, the Fremm and Horizon class In the mission in the Red Sea against the Houthis they proved very effective against drones and cruise missiles with the 76 mm strales, while the Americans and others had to use the missiles
The Italians use laser/IR/GPS guided 76mm Strales ammos for their CIWS and 127mm Vulcano minimissile shells for their cannons. They don't need tons of VLS to waste missiles in small targets. They can hit with the same missile precision any small/medium/large target just using their guided ammos. Soon Italy will be the world's second navy to use a direct energy weapon after usa. Already in development by mbda and Leonardo.
@solinvictus1234 lasers are decades away from being deployable in combat. A deck gun has very limited range. What's this ship going to do against the Chinese navy? It's worthless in a near peer conflict

Seems like a contest of the most beautiful design in Europe but are like paper tigers no weapons or land attack capabilities and even air defense its just for a couple of days 16 missiles ridicolous
@HayMaker-tv2dm Yes, the EVO is the upgraded variant with a projected capability to carry up to 64 VLS cells for Aster, CAMM and MdCN missiles in addition to an uspecified number of Teseo Mk2 anti-ship missiles (at least 4) and the two OTO 76mm. Also the current FREMMS have the space to carry up to 32 VLS cells, but due to the current operations the Navy is taking part in, only 16 cells were mounted.
Indonesia bought Marcantonio Colonna and Ruggero Di Lauria from the Italian Shipyards. These two ships in the Light+ will be replaced by 2 EVO. The ship were not "Rejected" 🤦♂️: Italy just changed the original plan to have a lot of PPA in the light setup (pre Ukraine) for smaller ships (PPX), and increase the number of PPA in Full version (much more capable but more expensive) for fleet duties. The PPA (now MCS) is now a fully fledged AA/AS Frigate, with ASW capabilities, just smaller then a FREMM which is more capable as ASW and can stay at sea for longer. The original 7PPA, will be retained and the current 2 Light PPA will be upgraded (they are modular) to Light + (AA) or Full configuration. The PPA is an extremely capable multi role ship, not as capable as a FREMM, but more flexible and much Faster. Indonesia got a real bargain, and I think more PPA would be better then the 6 FREMM it was intended to order, especially in the EVO configuration. At the moment the Light + is the more advanced PPA in service in Italy, just coming back from the Haway, where it's weapon systems got certified for active use. The Full (C band+S) is undergoing the final trials on the Bande Nere and on the Trieste Flagship so is not even in active service.
But why comment when you know nothing?The Indonesians initially had to take 6 Fremms, then since they didn't have the budget and they weren't given the financing, Italy had proposed the PPA Evo to them but to stay within the Those who could have the financing took the 2 light PPAs that Italy had just launched for her, and will replace Those sold with 2 PPA evo

People here seem to forget that a war ship is designed and many years before its construction, according to the nerds of the specific country. According to the Naval Act 2014 we do not want and need to project power to the oceans, not we need to export democracy. Our theater is what we call the "Enlarged Mediterranean" which is Mediterranean Sea and its access routes, the "Mare Nostrum" of the Romans. So we design and build war ships suited to our naval defense strategies
The all point of hypersonic is the super prise the enemy, sea skimming missile fly under the radar thanks to the planet curve and will be detected very late. Russian are having both low level, subsonic and high level high speed missile for those 2 reasons.

The European weapon design, functions,... are great, but their production capabilities are poor.
They build for what they need, not for what a kid dream about. If Europe wanted to build 100 ships, they would do so.
@heuhen China would not grow up that quick, and European's effect would not go down or if they can send weapons to ukraine faster the world is far different now. They need to make fast and enough for what their allies need not for only what they need. Or else, European will lose the game.
Why ? Europe has massive shipbuilding industries. Many highly advanced shipyards capable of building many warships if there was a desire to do so.
@@rolandxor179 many? is there any mistake in here? Plus they have no employee to make weapons. Their weapons top of the world - Totally Yes. But they lack employee to make that. See how Euro reacted too slowly when Ukraine needs more weapons. What if German would send 500 - 1000 leopard to Ukraine? Russian would has been lost.
@@HenryNguyễn-e6p I think you mistake 'can't' with 'really don't want to'. Ukraine wants 100 B-2 stealth bombers with nuclear weapons. It wants all the best weapons money can buy, it is normal. But that doesn't mean 1. They will get or 2. They actually need. They make too many excuses for failing to hold or take back territory. You West did not give us 100 B-2 stealth bombers that we need + a thousand Taurus cruise missiles so now Russia take our land on Chinese golf carts and 1960's BMP. No more excuses you fight with what you have and Ukraine has been given $200 billion worth of vastly superior weaponry to what Russia has.
Seems like a contest of the most beautiful design in Europe but are like paper tigers no weapons or land attack capabilities and even air defense its just for a couple of days 16 missiles ridicolous
64 missiles
@@randomwalk5095 Are we talking about the same ship?!
@HayMaker-tv2dm If it's just 16 then it's very low...... atleast 32 to 48 should be onboard for that size of a ship.
@@BRAHMOSPOWERthis model currently has 16VLS cells with space reserved for 16 more I believe
@HayMaker-tv2dm Yes, the EVO is the upgraded variant with a projected capability to carry up to 64 VLS cells for Aster, CAMM and MdCN missiles in addition to an uspecified number of Teseo Mk2 anti-ship missiles (at least 4) and the two OTO 76mm.
Also the current FREMMS have the space to carry up to 32 VLS cells, but due to the current operations the Navy is taking part in, only 16 cells were mounted.
After selling rejected PPA to Indonesia, Italy buy new PPA 😂😂
In reality the italians are selling two ppa for the indonesian navy. And they will be operational in 2025
You need to read better the News
Indonesia bought Marcantonio Colonna and Ruggero Di Lauria from the Italian Shipyards.
These two ships in the Light+ will be replaced by 2 EVO.
The ship were not "Rejected" 🤦♂️: Italy just changed the original plan to have a lot of PPA in the light setup (pre Ukraine) for smaller ships (PPX), and increase the number of PPA in Full version (much more capable but more expensive) for fleet duties. The PPA (now MCS) is now a fully fledged AA/AS Frigate, with ASW capabilities, just smaller then a FREMM which is more capable as ASW and can stay at sea for longer. The original 7PPA, will be retained and the current 2 Light PPA will be upgraded (they are modular) to Light + (AA) or Full configuration.
The PPA is an extremely capable multi role ship, not as capable as a FREMM, but more flexible and much Faster.
Indonesia got a real bargain, and I think more PPA would be better then the 6 FREMM it was intended to order, especially in the EVO configuration.
At the moment the Light + is the more advanced PPA in service in Italy, just coming back from the Haway, where it's weapon systems got certified for active use. The Full (C band+S) is undergoing the final trials on the Bande Nere and on the Trieste Flagship so is not even in active service.
But why comment when you know nothing?The Indonesians initially had to take 6 Fremms, then since they didn't have the budget and they weren't given the financing, Italy had proposed the PPA Evo to them but to stay within the Those who could have the financing took the 2 light PPAs that Italy had just launched for her, and will replace Those sold with 2 PPA evo
@@Leptospirosile due light le abbiamo vendute agli indonesiani rimangono le 3 light + e 2 full e 2 evo in sostituzione , ma sembra che in futuro le light + verranno portate a full.
Per i ppx è iniziata la costruzione delle prime 4 su 6 unità in previsione poi ci sono le EPC europea Patrol corvette 8 unità da fare
NSM missile is a joke in front of Chinese / Russian supersonic, Hypersonic Anti-ship missiles.
Then you don't know what NSM is for and its function. And they didn't talk about NSM (a Norwegian missile), They talked about a French missile
yes of course, Russian supersonic missiles everywhere in Ucraine?? I love Russia, but I think Russia is overestimated, China far more, the US too!
People here seem to forget that a war ship is designed and many years before its construction, according to the nerds of the specific country. According to the Naval Act 2014 we do not want and need to project power to the oceans, not we need to export democracy. Our theater is what we call the "Enlarged Mediterranean" which is Mediterranean Sea and its access routes, the "Mare Nostrum" of the Romans. So we design and build war ships suited to our naval defense strategies
The all point of hypersonic is the super prise the enemy, sea skimming missile fly under the radar thanks to the planet curve and will be detected very late. Russian are having both low level, subsonic and high level high speed missile for those 2 reasons.
France is working on a high speed, high manoeuvre anti ship missile, the UK and IT will have full access around 2030
