Sería una tremenda compra de oportunidad.

Aún sin el último upgrade, hablamos de sistemas de combate muy válidos, el 9VL de SAAB, con radares AESA, con Harpoon.
Mucho mejor armado que las Lafayette, con sistemas mucho más difundidos y sostenibles que una Maestrale / DLP.
Es oportunidad para Argentina como puente.
Con ANZAC mejor ni pensar en gastar plata en las Meko 360 (más antiguas de casco y mucho más antiguas en sistemas electrónicos y armamento, ni hablar de planta motriz)..
Ahora, hay un pero.
Es que no todas pasaron por el ultimo upgrade AMCAP de BAE Systems Australia que las deja con ESSM entre otras cosas.
Es probable que las primeras que pongan a la venta son las 3 que no recibieron AMCAP.
Frigate back in the fight
9 March 2023
An Evolved Sea Sparrow Missile launches from HMAS Toowoomba during a workup period off the coast of Western Australia.
Anzac-class frigate HMAS
Toowoomba achieved a key milestone in explosive fashion while undergoing training off the coast of Western Australia.
Toowoomba successfully fired an Evolved Sea Sparrow Missile (ESSM) for the first time since completing the Anzac Midlife Capability Assurance Program (AMCAP) upgrade.
Toowoomba’s weapons electrical engineering officer, Lieutenant Commander Kieran Davis, said it was a significant part of maintaining operational readiness.
“The purpose of
Toowoomba’s ESSM firing was to verify combat system performance in the detection, tracking and engagement of manoeuvrable targets at sea,” he said.
“The safe and successful execution of this firing involved synchronisation from many parts of ship, including the weapons electrical department, combat systems operators, warfare officers and the navigation team.
“Thanks to the combined efforts of ship’s company, we were able to effectively fire an ESSM and intercept the intended target.”
Toowoomba completed the
18-month AMCAP upgrade in April 2022, which included out-of-water maintenance and significant capability upgrades to radar, communication and platform systems.
Toowoomba is
one of five Anzac-class frigates to complete the AMCAP upgrade, providing enhanced capability to the Navy’s fleet.
Royal Australian Navy frigate HMAS Toowoomba fires an Evolved Sea Sparrow Missile.
The RIM-162 Evolved Sea Sparrow Missile (ESSM) is an improved version of the RIM-7P NATO Sea Sparrow Missile. The ESSM has enhanced speed and manoeuvrability compared to the original Sea Sparrow.
The ESSM is launched from the Mark 41 Vertical Launching System installed in the Anzac Class frigates and the new Hobart Class guided missile destroyers.
