Yes.
They will have:
02 x Horizon
10 x FREMM (4 ASW, 4 GP, and 2 AAW)
10 x PPA (OPV and FFG as you described)
That's 22 very modern and capable major surface combatants for Italy (not including Carriers, LHDs, etc.).
By comparison, the UK will have 19 major surface combatants (6 Type 45 Daring DDGs, and 13 Type 026 FFGs).

Does anybody know who is the manufacturer of the Sachsen's class navigation radars? Most of the sources mention the Raytheon (Redpath), others the STN, but from this photo of 2011, I see SAM (Electronics) inscribed on the radar.
Also what is the purpose of these small radomes and the omni (receiver?) which appears as a 2nd mast on the Brandenburg and Sachsen class frigates? Is this part of the FL1800 ESM/ECM (that was added later) or just regular communication antennas?
Thank you!
