Täällä taisi olla keskustelua Saksan F126 luokasta. Tämä oli aika mielenkiintoinen artikkeli. Toivon mukaan Suomen tulevassa korvetissa ei ole ihan näin pitkälle menty
F126: Wheelchair-accessible warship with exhaust gas purification
The question remains why the
F126 is so large. "This is partly due to the fact that German warships are expected to meet the demands of civilian shipping, even though they don't have to." After all, a warship isn't a cruise ship. Nevertheless, the F126 is equipped with a modern exhaust gas purification system, and the passageways throughout the ship are wheelchair accessible. "That takes up space."
However, the 10,000 tons also reflect
military requirements . "The ship is designed according to the two-island principle; one hit shouldn't be able to take out the entire unit."
Added to that would be the equipment: radar, sensors, weapons. All large, all complex—and expensive. "To put it simply: If you want a combat-ready frigate, you won't get one for less than a billion euros," Peters emphasizes.
Peters speaks of a fundamental problem with modern
defense projects , not only in Germany. Anyone who wants to be at the forefront of technology has to pay a lot of money. "We see this with ships, but also in aviation and land vehicles. Very complex systems are installed everywhere, and they cost money." Keyword: techflation.
Whether the F126 is worth the money, what the modular design is capable of, and whether the ship is one we "need in these times" will become clear starting in 2028. The
Bundeswehr is expected to receive its first frigate then. Of course, times could be very different by then.
Mit der F126 bekommt die deutsche Bundeswehr ein neues, extrem teures Kriegsschiff. Was macht die Super-Fregatte so außergewöhnlich?
