Nice boat. But it is not worthy to be called a Corvette. At that tonnage and armament, it is a MPV (midshore patrol vessel) also known in Nigeria as Seaward Defence Boat (SDB).

It is just of similar class as the NNS Karaduwa. The difference is the missiles. For Nigeria, threat assessment means the Karaduwa has no missile. .

Great ship though.

each country have its own classification , some will classified it as missile boats , or patroller , algerian follow russian classifications , for exemple there is a lot of small russian ships (less than 800t) classified as corvettes (ex: Nanuchka-class corvettes 569 t) ) . but yes for me to it shouldn't be classified as corvette

the weapons and equipments are also very important , some of nigerian OPV if they had heavier weapons suit (missiles ect) they will be classified as corvettes .

Today's modern armoured units cannot and should not go about without mid-range mobile anti-aircraft missile defence, and signal jamming units,it's just suicide.

kabe1:


Yes, depending on the doctrine of your navy. That ship with missile in the Nigerian navy would be classified as a missile boat. Without missiles it would be classified as a seaward defence boat.

For me, I think it is a missile boat.

You are very correct, but Nigerian Navy does not use missile boat as a classification. We use Fast Attack Craft (FAC). So, that Algerian vessel in NN would be a FAC like NNS Siri Combattante class.

However, the FAC in NN doctrine is more powerful than that ship, in terms of weapons.

From what I got on Twitter. And also on: https://www.oryxspioenkop.com/2020/09/the-fight-for-nagorno-karabakh.html
Azerbaijan lost 7 tanks, 7 bmps and 1 mi 8 helicopter

any clear pic of a nigerian ayam class with exocet or ottomat missiles ?

from what i found on the net from french sources , the nigerian ayam class siri, ekun , hadn't the exocet missiles , no SSM missiles . only aspide air defense missiles . all combatant IIIb pics posted as nigerian ones with SSM missiles are greek ships ( easy to identify from the Pennant number or the flag )

With the videos coming out, Azerbaijan is currently wrecking Armenian positions, tanks and air defences using Turkish made Bayraktar drones. The drone has already proven itself in Libya, Iraq and Syria. NAF should really consider this for the proposed expanded drone fleet. Will be a serious force multiplier.

you can see the greek flag rear

kabe1:


Both sides are suffering heavy losses.

Armenia is threatening to use the Iskander ballistic missile if Turkey intervenes with F-16s.

That is the NN Flag

FieldMarshall06:


Dont worry about it bro. I have posted a video link which shows 2 Combattants missile ships of the NN. So, his answer is there.

rka1:


And there were also the Laursen FACs, NNS AGU, NNS EKPE & NNS DAMISA

FieldMarshall06:


Watch this video. The first 9 seconds shows our missiles FAC.

However, the FAC in NN doctrine is more powerful than that ship, in terms of weapons

well done very difficult to find pics with the exocet launchers . ( have searched a lot and nothing )




still the old exocet 38 mm ( 42km max range) are not at the nowday level . they need an upgrade . that jebel chenoua ship for exemple use the C802 (120 km range)

You think everyone has the time to convince you, or to update you, or to prove something to you. Without that video, you would have argued till next week. You see green flag, yet you claim its a greek flag. You also see black men on the ship. You never change.

Because you dont know something doesnt make it false. No one owes you explanations or proof.
