More updates from Navalnews. Most of equipment were expected although the combination of Aster and MICA is a first.

• Leonardo’s 76mm naval gun in the STRALES variant;
• MBDA’s VL MICA NG and Aster B1 NT air defence missiles;
• ST Engineering / IAI Blue Spear anti-ship missiles;
• Thales’ SeaFire multifunction radar (in four fixed array configuration as aboard the FDI frigate);
• Safran’s PASEO XLR EO/IR system;
• Safran’s NGDS decoy launching system.

and finally some more reasonable numbers on the displacement.

a displacement of around 8,000 tons and a crew complement of about 80 sailors.

The high degree of automation is needed because of manpower limitations but how that affects crewing and DC is unknown.

Is the displacement 8,000 or 10,000 tons?

On 22 April 2024, the fourth submarine in the Type 218SG construction program was named at the HDW/Thyssenkrupp Marine Systems shipyard in Kiel.
The air-independent propulsion system gives the boats a long underwater endurance. With a length of about 70 metres and a displacement of around 2,000 tonnes, they will be larger than the Malaysian Scorpènes, similar in size with the future Indonesian Scorpènes and smaller than the Vietnamese Project 636. The Type 218SG submarines are also currently the largest submarines ever built at HDW.
