F222 Baden-Württemberg It’s a F125 class frigate. They were mainly developed for missions like peacekeeping, anti-piracy etc. that’s why they have only short-range air defense and no torpedos and sonar to hunt submarines. Of course the two helicopters can be used to hunt submarines. The 4 RHIBs and two helicopters of the ship can be used to deploy special forces and the ship can support them if necessary with the 127mm main gun (up to 100km range with special ammunition).
It's an odd ship to have such sophisticated radar and only short range missiles. It's also a very odd shape and top heavy. Interesting that the German government went to the Dutch to design their F126 frigates after this mess. If they wanted a lightly armed long range patrol ship they should have copied the British and used the Danish Iver Huitfeldt at a fraction of the cost.
@@Weakeyedominant their advanced suite of electronic systems makes them excellent for recon in low intensity environments where other NATO warships would be massive overkill but they are over-armed for a patrol craft and under-armed for an actual warship so they end up being extremely unoptimized intelligence ships
Bravo, Your grand impression captures exactly what Euro-navies - especially Germany - must do to be taken seriously: That is to say, to show the world the passion of seafaring, the willingness for reckless battle, that is the essence of being taken seriously in the world of great power politics! Would that Germany had kept just a smidge of its old former and glorious calling! Thank you Lars!
This frigate class was primarily purchased for missions like peacekeeping operations and anti-piracy operations or supporting special forces. The armament is thus rather light, 8 Harpoon anti-ship missiles, 2 RAM launchers with 21 missiles each as CIWS for short-range air defense, a 127mm main gun (range of up to 100km against land targets with special ammunition), two 27mm machine cannons for defense against small boats and five remote controlled 12,7mm heavy machine guns. It has 4 RHIBs of 11m length that can be used for deploying boarding teams or landing special forces troops and two helicopters. They are supposed to be able to stay up to two years in the theater of operations before they have to return to Germany for maintenance.
In my humble opinion a ridiculous design.Just an overpriced platform for a 5 inch gun and some speedboats.As mentioned no sufficient air denfense,no sonar and to slow. After the toothless Tiger-helicopter without an autocanon another masterpiece of german arms-development.Look at the italian-french Fremm-Frigates,these are really powerful ships.
@@MC2gamer110 Eight months later we see that the Moskva was sunk, despite being packed with all kinds of rockets and even nuclear warheads. After that the precious ships don’t leave their harbor anymore like in WW1. And the weapon of choice is the 155mm artillery.
The ships of this class were never intended to be used for conventional warfare, they were specifically designed for peacekeeping operations, anti-piracy operations, supporting special forces etc. They are designed to be able to stay very long (up to two years) in the theater of operations like for example the Horn off Somalia before they have to return to Germany. If Germany would’ve wanted a frigate for conventional warfare it could just have ordered more F124 Sachsen class frigates, which are very capable frigates.
@@HingerlAlois The new F126 Frigates will be even more capable. While the F125 were planned before the Ukraine crisis and under the impression of peace keeping and anti piracy missions (for what it's perfectly capable), the F126 will go back to conventional warfare capabilities with anti submarine and (long range) anti air weapons.
@@theodorkorner1497 The F126 isn’t going to be a long-range air defense frigate etc. they plan with ESSM but probably no long range SAM. The F127 class will replace the Sachsen class and offer long-range air defense.

What a beautiful ship, great soundtrack to go with it. Well done!
Thank you very much! 😀👍
the new F-125 Class Frigate
It looks impressive. Thank you for watching 😀👍
Thank you gruesse from Germany!
The worlds biggest patrol boat
Amazing video with perfect music choice! Greetings from Vienna!
Thank you very much! Perhaps I was little naughty when I selected ”What shall we so with the drunken sailor” as music. All of the sailors look sober 😀
@@slblars I'm sure german sailors sometimes are drunken. Myself was some years a german navy soldier. ;)
Peter WoT thank you! Then the music choise was not that bad after all 😀👍
Very good Video, Thank you for loading this Video. :)
Thank you very much 😀👍
Excellent video!
Thank you very much!
Thanks for it :)
You’re welcome. Thank you for watching!

Thank you very mych for your comment 😀👍
Good looking ships...
Thank you very much!
Most welcome..i love germany technology...👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Good Video!
Thank you very much! 😀👍
Can you please tell me how the name of this version of drunken sailor is? And nice video :)
The title is "Drunken Sailor" and it was performed by The "Midshipmen Glee Club". Thank you for your comment 😀
Nice Video
Thank you very much!
🇧🇷👏😘
Thank you 😀👍
Waooww
Thank you 😀
How many VLS on this class, can’t tell from the video?
Think, they got none, because their main task is anti-piracy
Please write 25.01.2020.
Can you name me the song?
The title of the song is ”What shall we do with the drunken sailor”.
When will german have destroyer class ship?
Without missile?
I don´t know.

The anti ship missiles are on the middle deck
@@HingerlAlois that means he doesn't have vls?
@@rafianggasayekti100
Yes, the F125 was built for peacekeeping, anti-piracy operations, supporting special forces etc. thus it has no VLS.
🇭🇷👍🤝👍🇩🇪🇸🇪
👍😀
No ASW sonar :/
I cannot tell. I am no expert.
@@slblars It only has anti diver sonar, no Submarine sonar..
The helicopter with dipping sonar 🤷🏼♂️
@@fthi7992 Inferior of a boat sonar plus helicopters can't always fly due to weather
@@kleanthispapadopoulos2555 And the Bundeswehr will implement a "Towed Array Sonar" soo, no big deal

The Beatle was designed by Ferdinand Porsche. Because of the Beatle’s success, today Porsche is merely a brand of Volkswagen.
