F126 frigates: the German navy equipped to deal with new threats - Thales 

The best design frigate in the world....welldone

The dutch and germans know how to build cool ships.

Really cool design! 😎

Keep in mind that german and dutch shipbuilders have a long history , The sachsen and zeven provincien class frigates ( well destroyers in reality) are of a same project slightly different but at the core the same. the Bremen class was based on the kortenaer class frigates , the current Kareldoorman JSS is shared with the germans. even before ww1 and ww2 both nations provided eachother with inovations and technologies . Most well know are the Battleship plans for the dutch in 1912-1913 , the java class cruisers. during ww1 and battle cruisers of 1939. In turn dutch IVS and INKAVOS provided the german navy with much information on building U-boats. And with firms like Hazemeyer ( later holland signaal , Thales netherlands) Siderious ,NSF , Philips etc tons of new tech and inovations where created . Its a verry long and complicated history but well worth a read.

Is it just me or does the F126 look way more aggressive, scary and intimidating (visual wise) than the type 26? I don't know about anyone else but when comparing the two, I just get this feeling of aggressiveness projected from this design.

that design looks cool

Wow thr design looks futuristic

The biggest Frigate-Class in the world with 10.000 tons. We are proud to get this strong and well equiped ships

Buen video

When Germany rebuilds a modern Bismarck and Tirpitz

Nice

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arleigh_Burke-class_destroyer The US Destroyer Class is a bit lighter (displacement) yet has 96 VLS Cells, the German F126 only 16 VLS Cells (plus 8 mid sized anti ship missiles with rather limited range) ... advertising the module "Gewahrsam" results in most likely the worlds most expensive seldomly used (we do not hunt the pirates really) prison cell. The full leadership of the German Military Purchasing Department was fired some weeks back yet sadly sent to early interment on full payment ...

it has a type 055 lead in its design

A cruiser sized destroyer, but with only corvette firepower

Top

One best.

This design is cooler than Zumwalt

Germany seems to have conceptualized more frigates right? In contrast to Japan which relies on destroyers. I wonder why ? Thank you

New Construction New constellation Class Destroyer's .

🇩🇪💪

I hope Philippine Navy can buy of that new frigate

Why don t they have hull mounted sonar or subroc?

It looks great. But... according to the information provided in the video and the comments on here; if the loadout of these future ships are going to be tiny, then Germany is basically repeating the same actions that the interwar German government did with the Konigsberg and Leipzig-class light cruisers in the 1920s-1930s. Granted, the old Weimar Republic was under the restrictions of the Treaty of Versailles and the Washington Naval Treaty of 1922. But as far as I'm aware, modern-day Germany isn't under any sort of arms or armament buildup restrictions... are they? If not, then what's the German government's excuse for not arming these 10,000-ton (to hell with it, I'm calling them 'light cruisers') ships to the teeth? And if they are, is that the reason why these ships are going to be lightly armed? Oh well, maybe when Germany and the Netherlands get around to the "Future Air Defender" project (they're calling that one a 'Frigate' as well, but judging by the looks of the concept art, it looks like a beefed up version of the current F126, so I'm going to call it a 'medium cruiser'), it will have more weapons and a meaner punch compared to the F126.

but.... what about nuclear ....thread, like now? emp?

The largest and most expensive patrol boat ever built. The French fooling the Germans one more time XD

Go Netherlands

For a country that prides itself in its own efficiency the german armed forces have the worst expense/capabilities ratio i have ever seen,they spend as much as France and the UK while having 1/5th of their capabilities. Truly astonishing

Like all other ffg designs, it is under-armed against the new threats. Too few missiles, it cannot defend against swarm-attacks

so, each modern warship is floating SuperComputer now

If this thing is 10,000 tons, isn't it too large to be called a frigate? This is a cruiser or at least a large destroyer. Why classify it with a "less" threatening word instead of calling it what it is?

There last destroyer they tried to make sea worthy sucked and they ditched it idk how I feel yet

little late innit, i mean itll be ready, only 1 of em, in 28'

March 2022. Paper frigates ?

Die Schiffe sind für ihre Größe die schwächsten Bewaffneten Schiffe was es gibt?!

🇲🇨🇲🇨🇲🇨💪👍👌

Deutsch🇩🇪

F125 not even combat ready by any means, and ya'll over here talking about the F126. Sure thing, see ya'll in 2060

And still on this date Jan.20th,2024 Germany still has not hit%2 for military spending budget even after Russian invasion. Hurry up Berlin...

I don't understand what the contractor is trying to prove with this content. Cybersecurity? Obviously it needs it because Chinese Gold Farmers and Nigerian Princes could cause havoc with a ship like this, but 1/2 the video was dedicated to the ship being "Cyber Protected". How about it's mission parameters, or sensors, expected weapon load? 10k ton displacement and 16 VLS, is this true? Do the crew each have en-suite with double bed? What is this thing? LOL?!

10,000 tons and only a 4000 mile range while only having 16 VLS cells? That's awful, are Germans not angry about this?

Maid in iesrael enjoy

the next generation frigate F127 will displace about 15000 tons and have only water cannons

Too bad that the biggest threats are coming from within germany.

3/4 of there ships are in port under repair. No subs active! What a damn shame

great now with everyone else begining to shamelessly copy the design of 055 it has proven itself to be the new dreadnought of our age

I hope Philippine Navy can buy of that new frigate
