RSS Formidable Successfully Conducted a Live Firing of the Aster 30 SAM in France
08 April 2025
“Engage inbound target with Aster!”
Our Formidable-class frigate RSS Formidable succesfully conducted the Aster surface-to-air live missile firing, and took down an aerial drone off the coast of Toulon, France. This was an important opportunity for the RSN to hone our high-end warfighting capabilities, and validate the readiness of our systems.

We also thank our partners from DSTA Defence Science and Technology Agency, as well as our french counterparts Marine nationale, Défense Méditerranée - Cecmed, and Direction générale de l'armement for their close collaboration in making the firing a success!
