No cruise missile
This frigate will not be military naval cruise missiles (MdCN) do we assure the ministry. Perhaps because the airborne version of this gear is included in the Rafale market. In addition, its scope (1,000 km) can go against international treaties and does not really apply in the Egyptian strategy. However, the frigate will have anti-ship missiles and surface to air missiles produced by MBDA.
For now, France reveals nothing of the models, but it is likely that it will be anti-ship Exocet Block 3, bringing to more than 180 km, which will perhaps not please the Israelis. Air defense side, it should be of Aster missiles, those held on the French version. To deliver fast, it is obviously necessary to avoid changing the basic configuration.
However, it is likely that DCNS and the Navy will have to make a development work of the FREMM because it has means of communication to the NATO standard (Link 11) or even French Confidentiality: the FREMM can remember, receive shooting plans for cruise missiles. Incidentally, it will also have to be translated into Arabic all notices and requests on board.
