ESSM and SM launch Dutch navy ship

[rudico]

Nu hebben zo nog 4 van deze bootjes, straks na Prinsjesdag wordt het halve leger weg bezuinigd. Kunnen we beter de hele boel opdoeken. Van de Luchtmacht blijft straks ook niks over. ik denk dat we na de bezuinigingen nog 3 squadron van tot totaal 48 vliegtuigen overhouden, daarvan staat straks de helft in onderhoud of staat aan de grond omdat er geen onderdelen zijn. Laat toch zitten die bende en ga bij de scouting.

What class ships are these?

Do they have Aegis?

[leeslamp84]

It is the Dutch Zeven Provincien class. An air-defense frigate.

They don't have Aegis but they work with APAR, a system developed by Thales Netherlands.

@leeslamp84 APAR and SMART-L.

Even though I hate to admit it since I'm a huge fan of the F-22, the Raptor would probably not stand much of a chance with 1 of these present without any Electronic Attack (jamming) support.

The stealthy ship you see is called a LCF, what means Lucht Commando en verdedigings Fregat, in porperly English: Air defence and command frigat. The ships are from the Zeven Provincieen class wich consists of 4 ships. They don't have Aegis but their very own Dutch made APAR (Active Phased Array Radar) The secons class ship is the Karel Doorman Multipurpose frigat.
