Republic of Singapore Navy's RSS Formidable fires OTO Melara Super Rapido 76mm A-gun

[Captrandom112]

well.. That's not a copy of the HNoMS Fridtjof Nansen at all! ^^

[Nepo35]

Stealthy design!

[KatiushaVN4]

the radar spins as fast as my fan

[IRememberTheOldDays]

Lol! As if they've got something that works to play with!

[milfreak]

Hahaha, look at that funky cute rotating radar. How sweet lol

[Badboy21thekiller]

more like RSS VUNERALBLE CLASS WARSHIPS

[iPopcorn]

you dont know its armour/defences, and what they do tell you is probably a lie. so don't go making judgements

[lintu25]

Bad vid.. but nice looking ship!

[wowspare]

singapore needs to acquire destroyers.....

frigates are virtually useless in modern days. so what if it's radar signature is the size of a fishing boat? most radars can still pick up fishing boats

[Nicholas963258]

thats what you call a luxury yatch :)

[wolfen682]

The RN needs more of this type of kit i to give balance

[iPopcorn]

singapore needs some big battleships to make the RSN even more stronger than it is

[nav2491i]

@iPopcorn Battleships are obsolete nowadays.

[iPopcorn]

@nav2491i i know :(

[aaron654lo]

@iPopcorn yup but them am air force ^

[iPopcorn]

@aaron654lo but there is no reason on this planet no PHLANX miniguns and anti air missles cant be installed on a battleship?

[Ahamster1]

gosh Singapore has come a loong way since we just had 2 small patrol boats 40 years ago :)

[dimapez]

@Ahamster1 "Formidable" is based on French LaFayette -class designed in early 90s, but still it is a State-of-Art -class of navy vessels.

[Ahamster1]

@dimapez yup! I know that its based on those French frigates, and yes with their help we're able to accquire advanced warships for defence :D

[09wati90]

not good enough...

[umonoricrossing]

what a stealthy look!! dunno why tho. the weird shape spinning radar makes me laugh.

[syafiqpilot]

Hehehe I love the fired sound !

[roaringwaterbay]

groovy.

[CrazyKestrel]

SB should get on ur ass!

[noypipi]

that is fucking ill!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i like this ship better than the oliver hazard perry. the ohp frigate is one ugly ass ship.

[gmansi]

@noypipi OHP was designed.. on....70's?

[noypipi]

@gmansi the cannon class frigates was designed in the 40's but yet it looks much better than OHPs.. shit even heavy cruisers from the 1890s looks more like an actual ship than those ugly ass OHPs.

[gmansi]

@noypipi Oh! I think you dont like OHPs !!! :) What do you thinjk of Sa'ar 5 from Israel?

[noypipi]

@gmansi sorry bro I just dont like the fucking ohp.. i mean who the fuck would put a 76mm oto melara on top rather than on the bow of the ship? the sa'ar 5 isn't too bad.. the fact that its a lightweight vessel is good.. but the ohp is just a heavy piece of shit floating on the water... i really much rather have modified fishing vessel serving in a navy of my command rather than having those ugly ass ohps

[gmansi]

@noypipi No problem noypipi! "who the fuck would put a 76mm oto melara on top rather than on the bow of the ship?" yes, this a good point for you!!! And the Sa'ar 5? do you like them?

[noypipi]

@gmansi there r some things i don't like about it.. i dont like the main gun being a ciws close range defense gun... but overall it seems like a very formidable war vessel.. its a lightweight ship that can carry around a eurocapter anywhere it goes.. its good for surveilance trips.

[gmansi]

@noypipi Ok, thanks for your opinion

[Kabilanalmond]

@noypipi

They don't carry Eurocopters..they carry a version of the blackhawk..the sirkorsky seahawk.

[alanyeo76]

so open these days? firing exercise can be found on youtube?

[marvinecek]

mum,i want that toy!! :D

[SVCchannel]

Perfect ship for chasing pirates

[youngplainjuan]

Its a 100% active warship. might be an overkill just to fight pirates.

[faseoff1234]

nice
