sell them on the crazy dictator marketI was thinking the neighbors of the crazy dictators. Maybe some South American country that wants to defend itself against the likes of Chavez. Or even other European Navies that would otherwise buy Italian or German. Israel might be interested, although they'd likely want to supply the electronics themselves, since for the most part theirs are better than what the diagram indicates the ship would be fitted with.

The Israelis have been considering a stretched variant of the same design for their air defense corvette role. If built, it would be a very impressive ship. Unfortunately, it appears even their programme is in cold storage due to funding issues.
