And I am wondering what you guys think...
Is it possible that the French set up a ship of theirs in collusion with Israel, to be attacked by Syria or Russia to justify an attack on Syria?

PARIS – The Directon Générale de l’Armement took delivery July 18 the fifth multi-mission frigate, marking a step toward an eight-strong fleet which will be the “backbone” of the French Navy, the defense procurement office said.
“The Directon Générale de l’Armement (DGA) received July 8 2018 the Brétagne frigate, the fifth FREMM multimission frigate for the French Navy,” the ministry said in a July 25 statement.
This antisubmarine version of the Franco-Italian cooperative FREMM program will renew the French frigate fleet with “eight ships which will make up the backbone of the surface fleet,” the ministry said.
The FREMM frigate, designed, developed and built by Naval Group, the French shipbuilder, is the only European warship which is armed with the naval cruise missile, the ministry said.

They stpped the program for a smaller frigate with 16 VLS only. We can assume they won't install any VLS on them.

If that FTI frigate only comes with 16 VLS I will lmao. To spend half a billion euros to have it armed like a corvette...

According to this article it is a contract of 3.8 billion euro for 5 FTI which means unit price of 760 million euro per ship. I think FREMM is somewhere near that price too ...

That is the programme price which includes many things, the unit price is lower.
