Its a new Concept mainly to support and carry about 50 Commando soldiers into their area of operation.
It will carry a 155mm Horwitzer turret and a MLRS Launcher for fire support, 4 fast attack crafts + 2 Helicopters for transport and the usual self defense weapons like Harpoon, RAM and so on.
The PDF File is german but there are some Pictures(The PzH2000 is just mounted there for testing of the fire support concept ;) ).

Maybe the Hellenic Navy should examine it. BTW, will it have SM2 missiles (bad news for Hellenic Navy :) ).

This is an interesting concept but it seems too small for real Force Projection and too big for Covert Operations.

I think its tailor made for peacekeeping, there is no african navy (Exept south africa, and they are comparably stable) who is a real threat while doing so.

like the idea of fire support/commando team, just worried how they are gonna fit it all on a small vessel like that and if it might run out of supplies.

Well, in that case it will resupply at a supply ship. ;)

thanks!
Why the Germans did't associated with the Italian-French FREMM program? I know that they were looking very closely at it

Well, look at the Details. FREMM is Multipurpose while F125 is a dedicated Special Forces Mothership: 155mm Gun, MLRS Launcher, two Helicopters, four fast attack boats.
