  i found this http://www.naval-technology.com/projects/fearless/index.html
  
  one part says
  
  

  The second six vessels are configured for anti-surface warfare. The vessels' short to medium-range anti-ship missile is the Gabriel II supplied by IAI. Gabriel II uses dual mode semi-active and active radar homing and is armed with a 100kg warhead. The range is from 6 to 36km and the missile velocity is 0.6 Mach

  is this true? do they have the capability to carry harpoons also?

  I dun think our APV/PV are armed with Gabriel... It would be visible if they are armed with Gabriel as the missile lanuchers will be on the upper deck...

  Not with Gabriel but recently the Fearless class has been upgraded with typhoon 25mm stabilised gun mount with dual Mistral launcher.

  maybe they're not fitted with them but have the ability to carry and fire them when the need arises?
