I guess we will have to see what the Russian Courts decide. They (the Russians) many just decide to seize French assets in Russia. It’s done all the time. It will be interesting to see how this plays out.
Those German vessels with the Israeli fit are going to be very powerful.Germany and Israel sign the sale of four corvettes for 430 million euros

And better than the earlier Sa'ar because they have more room/displacement, better sea handling, etc.

From page 2 of May issue 2015 of Warship magazine
Russia has threatened to use nuke the 3 very capable Danish Iver Huitfeldt FFG if they decide to link them to the USN BMD programme
The Danish are planning on linking the three units to the BMD which would extend the cover to Baltic region
Anyone see those Danish FFG? Ultra modern and very capable
