Expected armament of the Lebanese Navy FS 56
Janes has given more details about the expected armament of the expected 3 FS 56 vessels that the LAF ordered as part of the French 3Billion USD deal.
According to the article, the vessel configuration is expected to include "an Oto Melara 76 mm gun mounted forward, up to eight Exocet anti-ship missiles, and Mistral short-range air-defence missiles fired from two Simbad RC launchers aft". The vessel can also accommodate a 40 mm Bofor gun at the back, but according to Janes, this remains an option.
The article also details that the the vessel "could be equipped with an enclosed-mast system that reduces its radar cross section".
