According to SIPRI Germany originally ordered 108 SM-2 Block IIIA missiles between 2003 and 2005. Berlin does not appear to have made any follow-on purchases since then. Accounting for missiles expended in exercises Naval News estimates around 70 SM-2 from the original order remain available.

The supply of ESSM medium range missiles is a further point of concern for the Hessen and her sisterships. Germany originally ordered 175 missiles of the Block I-variant to be used by F124. In 2023 Berlin placed a new order for the Block II-variant, but only for an “initial capability”. Numbers on the purchases were not divulged, but they appear to be limited. When announcing the 2023-order, Berlin also stated that a second batch fully equipping F124-frigates was to follow in 2024.

Nicht allzu berauschende Zahlen...
