New details of the two offshore patrol vessels (OPVs) the Nigerian Navy ordered from Dearsan in November 2021 were revealed during a keel-laying ceremony held at the company's shipyard in Tuzla, Istanbul, on 16 September.

Dearsan said each OPV will be armed with one 40 mm Leonardo Oto Marlin gun, one 30 mm Aselsan Smash remotely operated weapons system (ROWS) on the rear of the superstructure, two 12.7 mm Aselsan Stamp ROWSs, and two manually controlled 12.7 mm machine guns.

The ships will be equipped with the Sair-2D X-band radar made by the Italian company Gem Elettronica. This radar is designed for both surface and air search and tracking, enabling the ships to provide guidance to helicopters.

Gem Elettronica will also provide its Electro-Optical Fire Control System (EOFCS), a compact and lightweight system with day and infrared cameras, as well as a laser rangefinder.
