After 124 comes 127: In defence against threats from the air, the next generation of frigates is slowly taking shape.

After the planned end of service of the Class 124 frigate in the years 2034 to 2036, the Next Generation Frigate - Air Defence (NGFrig-AD) project, hereinafter referred to as Class 127 frigate (F 127), will ensure the timely and threat-appropriate maintenance of air defence capabilities, the addition of a sea-based ballistic missile defence (BMD) capability and the defence against hypersonic threats. The platform is also intended to cover the Naval Maritime Precision Strike - Long Range capability (NATO Capability Code NMS-LR) described in the NATO Capability Targets 2021.
