VARD 7 125 Next Generation Offshore Patrol Vessel

The VARD 7 125 NGOPV provides air, surface and sub-surface surveillance and engagement capabilities consistent with robust OPV littoral, task group light escort, sovereignty and constabulary roles.

Es el buque de patrulla oceánico que estaba buscando la Marina de Guerra del Perú, supera con creces a todos las propuestas de otros países, ojalá que la MGP le eche un ojo a éste navío y lo tenga primero en su lista.

[@chandrachurniyogi8394]

a question where can i get the background music score??? please advise . . . OPV designs should be cross oceanic capable (max sea state) . . . like any surface vessel sailing from one end of the hemisphere to the other hemisphere . . .

[@romartagalog4731]

Philippine NAVY and Coast GUARD must have this!!!

[@jerrysandoy9853]

Supposed to be they should have , the quality of your vessel speaks louder how the force capability which is lacking in ph navy due of their none innovative mind set.

[@paulsteaven]

This design could be the right replacement for the Del Pilar class/Hamilton class due to its size and range (presumably).

[@OzzieBo]

Why do they trademark LITERALLY EVERYTHING!

This is a light frigate

Excuse me I don't understand the meaning of what you write in this clip. 16 aft VLS are described as surface-to-surface missiles (not to-air) it is an alternative solution to what we see later in the video as anti-ship missiles? SeaRam is indicated as 2x, cause there is only one shown, one of those SeaRam mount would replace the VLS? Sorry to bother you but it's an official site, if something is wrong must be corrected or video retired. Vard as Fincantieri Company have capability to implement any client request up to anti ballistic missile and a good size for seakeeping is ok, but this ship resembles more an "angry" corvette then an OPV aside eventually public low profile choice. I believe your suggestion for a 76mm gun as offensive/defendive weapon along with longest possible time on mission (ideally 24/365) is the best value for money solution. We have always to remember OPV are peace time ships economical in use with no relevance at war, just not exposed to all treats and intimidating to whom will stand in front in other then war times as much as a problem like iranian fast boats are in peace waiting to be obliterated as war begin. The search of perfect ship will bring billion of expenses and get the same result, "the warship", nowadays a Destroyer !!!

[@heuhen]

The video is correct!! from for to aft: - 76mm naval gun (can also be used as part of the close in weapon system "CIWS") - aft of 76m gun, VLS for AAW missiles but can also carry surface to surface missiles. In this setup this ship have it is used for surface to surface missiles (ASuW), some can be either for attacking other ships or land targets, in this video it is most likely for land targets, due to the role the ship is intended for. - on the portside of the VLS is the first 12.7mm machine gun - mid section have container space and modular space - aft of the aft funnel, you have launcher for up to 8 cell with ASuW missiles (in this case NSM-missiles) (it is sort of an VLS) - aft of that again you have the SeaRAM - on starboard side nest to the SeaRAM you have the second 12.7mm machine gun. For example Norway, operate OPV's that is 136,4 meter long. Bigger then Norwegian frigates. Both Japan and China have OPV's that are bigger then 140 meters even some close to 160 meters. And when it come to armament, Norway's OPV's are build to be uparmed, for example the previous class of Nordkapp class could be uparmed to same level as that time's frigates and act as command vessels.

@@heuhen this video is not correct I politely noticing no one mention surface to air missile in VLS, nor combat system and radars for. It's funny on OPV speaking about land attack. In the clip are written specifications that are not all options as it seems, but are alternative to other options and can not be fitted all together without explaing it, as I noted and you still have to explain why they do it "correctly". Your fancy and crazy expensive OPV as soon as it reach 18 years age will live to joint US Navy to become an A. Burke destroyer as proper warship and will punch you in the face if you try again to call it OPV... with all those weapons on board it recall to me the norvegian Frigates Fridtjof Nansen not properly cheap peace time ships... ..."but this one is smaller" and we all know iron is the most expensive part of a ship 😁

[@jaketorralba4521]

If it is 125 meters in length then it shouldn't be an OPV anymore instead a heavy Corvette or a frigate.

[@heuhen]

it's an OPV, the name OPV have nothing to do with size, but designed/intended role.

[@teddy2738]

ES UN O.P.V. pero " artillado " ... se puede denominar FRAGATA LIGERA x sus 125 mts. de Eslora y tal vez un peso superior a las 2.500 toneladas !!

[@MultiPosaune]

That is not a patrol vessel, but a frigate.

[@heuhen]

It's an patrol vessel, a frigate is a totally different beast. OPV stands for Offshore patrol vessels, and when you operate offshore and do support over big ares, you want your patrol vessel to be big, so it can travel safe and comfortable

[@thomasb5600]

Looks like a slightly smaller Type 26 Frigate.

[@fadiman8017]

It's a Long range Patrol Frigates.... 😅

[@darkskull6176]

this categorize as a powerful corvette not an OPV😂

[@teddy2738]

@@heuhen ¡¡ NO RESPONDE A LAS CARACTERISTICAS DE UN OPV NORMAL !! ... ya si le agregas 16 celdas de misiles AA , 2 Lanzadores Cuádruples de misiles Antibuques y tal vez un par de TLT dobles o triples de 324 mm. ASuw. : Pasa a ser un BUQUE DE COMBATE de la categoria de FRAGATA LIGERA de 125 mts. de eslora , + de 2500 tns. de peso standard ,etc ... un OPV debe estar armado con 1 Tubo de cañón de 30 , 40 , 57 o 76 mm. como NORMA STANDARD + un par de ametralladoras calibre 0.50 ( Eso es lo que ACTUALMENTE se ve en los diseños de Buques Patrulleros Océanicos )😨😎👍

[@juanangelcaido]

ya que colombia selecciono al sigma 10514 , como fragata , la opcion vars 7 parece mejor y multifuncional.

Y notaste que abajo del párrafo dice que PUEDE CRECER según necesidades del cliente pee 😁😎

This is the offshore patrol vessel real one not like ph offshore patrol vessel hehe he h
