Hot DAMN! I wasn't sure there would ever be another Sigma sale. Three more is a good deal. Wonder what kind of outfitting they're going to get, as the
article (as far as I can read it...) speaks of the loadout for the Indonesian ships.

It does because they don´t know what outfit they´re going ti get either. I wonder how that will effect the FREMM deal.
Regards. |

there are some contradictory "rumours" Some say the 3 SIGMA will be choosen instead of the FREMM , others that will be the FREMM+ 3 sigma |

Hm, I doubt it's going to be And Sigma And FREMM. The Morroccans don't strike me as owning a money tree.

Ahoj!
Maybe that will quieten the critics of the Polish purchase of same F-16s. But then again, it probably won't Borys |

Ahoj!
Articles says Morrocco is buying F-16 50/52. Just like Poland did. The F-16 purchase is heavily criticised by some people in Poland. Another country buying same plane should make at least part of those critics shut up. Borys |

Argosy23 wrote: It doesn't say. For want of details of the ships, it describes the similar Indonesian corvettes, says it isn't very good news for DCNS (we know),
& gets a bit gloomy about the possibility of the FREMM deal not being concluded, citing the abortive Bulgarian Gowind deal as analogous. Ends by quoting
DCNS as saying that the frigate programme is different from the corvettes, & discussions are being actively pursued.
