Só para adiantar que a converseta pelo Alfeite continua a apontar para o futuro poder passar por fragatas "europeias em segunda-mão", e/ou uma hipotética entrada no programa das novas M. Deslocamento máximo até às 6000 toneladas, segundo é dito.
Como os Países Baixos e a Alemanha já acordaram num projecto comum para substituir as DZP e as F124... pode haver surpresa e Portugal assinar com os Países Baixos um acordo "global" que permita, próximo de 2030, recebermos uma primeira DZP (vendendo as MEKO) - mesmo à custa da " Koninklijke Marine" ficar "descalça" temporariamente; e esse "acordo" global pode prever as novas ASWF (estilo Belga, claro) para substituir as nossas M, mais tarde.
Os Holandeses, abdicarem das Fragatas a favor de Portugal, daqui a uns nove anos, logo agora que estão a meio de um Upgrade á séria que só estará concluído em 2024/25 ??
Não me façam rir.
Bem podem tirar daí o sentido, a primeira a DzP, depois do upgrade terminado, com a excepção da nova otobreda, 127/64 apta a receber a munição vulcano,
só este upgrade das quatro 127 vai ficar entre os 100 e os 250M €, foi colocada ao serviço em junho de 2020 !!
Modernization
The De Zeven Provinciën-class ships will get the new SMART-L Mk2 radar that can detect ballistic missiles at a range of 2,000 km (1,200 mi). The Dutch minister promised also that the APAR radar will have a bigger range than 400 km (250 mi) as the Netherlands is the first country to participate as an active missile shield for NATO.[citation needed]
In late 2011, the Ministry of Defence announced a modernization program to upgrade the SMART-L early-warning radar so that De Zeven Provinciën-class frigates can detect and track ballistic missiles at extended range. In 2018 plans were announced to acquire the BMD-capable SM-3 surface-to-air missiles as the ships are provisioned for an extra 8-cell vertical launch module, De Zeven Provinciën-class frigates can pass on the tracking and detection data to other sea-based or land-defense BMD assets, including U.S. Navy's warships, that can deal with a ballistic missile threat. This modernization program is scheduled for completion by late 2017 for the entire De Zeven Provinciën class.[4]
On 3 May 2018 the Dutch Secretary of Defence, Barbara Visser, informed the Dutch national parliament that the evolved sea sparrow missile (ESSM) aboard the De Zeven Provinciën-class frigates will be upgraded from block 1 to block 2.[5] This upgrade will be completed by 2024 and will allow the frigates to deal with the growing threat of modern anti-ship missiles. ESSM Block 2 allows the four frigates to defend against missiles that have greater speed, agility and perform unexpected movements. The current Harpoon surface-to-surface missile (SSM) will also be replaced with a new SSM by 2024.[5] Furthermore, the current Otobreda 127/54 Compact cannon will be replaced with Otobreda 127/64 cannons.[5] The new cannon must be able to fire multiple types of ammunition, including in the future precision-guided ammunition. The project costs between € 100 million and € 250 million, and will be take place between 2018 and 2023. Lastly, the Goalkeepers will be upgraded to a new version and all ships will have two installed as originally designed, they will eventually be replaced after 2025 by a new system.Na melhor das hipotese, só para lá de 2035 estará a primeira, agora ao serviço, disponível para ser vendida, as outras poderão estar disponíveis mas sempre depois dessa data provável, e apenas, quando as unidades que as irão substituir estiverem operacionais.
Antes das DzP, serão as M Holandesas vendidas, nem fazia sentido que fosse ao contrário !
