visby is lighter than gowind and looks more stealthier due to its shape..but its armanent seem rather less than gowind..n correct me if i'm wrong, it doesn't have any SAM on it??

another corvette?
I rather go for Hamina, can sekaligus repalce the FAC

ps: if you got this contract dont forget to employ me, this is my idea hehehe   

@yinchet

2~3 days ago i got replied in the SGPV thread.

It's about the NGPV potential SSM. Is it possible TLDM got other option as well?
Why dont just stick with Exocet?

How about harpoon? US dont want to sell to us?
Or it is going to retired too?
Btw I prefer if our TLDM use the same armanent like what JMSDF did to their ships.
But maybe it is hard right?

+1 on phalanx ciws.
RIM-116 ram? ESSM alone not enough?
Or it is more cost effective than essm to counter closer threat?

to me, MinDef better lubok for songlaping since any procurement can be kept secret due to 'national security'. Of coz, some procurement must be kept top secret due to its security nature, but many data can be easily obtain regarding on what type of equipment being installed. For example, the subs procurement, which many songlapers backers argue must not be disclosed to the public, walhal can actually be easily tarced back on what equipment being installed by researching the vendors involved. Only the sensitive parts like data encryption maybe not on the companies' datasheet. So, argument that we publicly say we bought 2 scorpene but also another one in secret is pure crap..
Samudera class have big potential for converting into patrol vessels, Dun think it would require that much of re-designing..
Once fully armed, Kedah-class would be quite awesome..
why not go for air-breathing supersonic anti-ship missiles?

I dun mean using the current Samudera's design. I mean using the Samudera design to build a larger vessel..

its more of something nice to have..

If it something neighbor does not have or similar, Malaysia would most likely it take it. Seeing our past purchase history

So offer dulu, tengok we angkat the bait tak.
Russia always wait and see, then just offer after reviewing others. Most can see Russian offer the best bargain for any deals
For marine, i think that not russian forte so they dont offer it, even if they have US have better equipments suited for marine than russia

Plus, Malaysia also have to buat muka with US buy something.. if not US muka masam tak beli apa-apa from him
Although, Malaysia preference now was from Europe and former soviet states

Malaysia air defense should improve since china planned SU-35 can now enter Malaysia air space. Long-range and mid range would be nice. Would be nice if there one SAM at peninsular and another at sabah. If any china jet come in, shoot them down into the south china sea
Wonder what anti aircraft system malaysia going to go for? Russian S300 or if lucky their new S400 or US Patriot system. Europe unlikely since SG sudah beli dari mereka

or maybe its telling everyone I am coming, so everyone will shit in their pants     

any hovercraft will make big noise, even those puny pathetic hovercrafts the Brits are using..but the uss denver is bundled with aav and some lcac, why not go buy...with the possibility of armed conflict in south china sea, we can either be US or China's beetch..

tuler, if the Indons can build their own LPD, why we kenot lak? If we are serious in establishing a Marine force, LPD is essential for transportation of marine force

projek ni ape citer?

looks damn nice...guess no funding..pity, if develop properly, then can market to other countries..
besar tul main gun dia      ...bukan slalu ye for this type of vessels, only have air defense capabilities?
Vietnam already got that..
I tot US once offered us PAC-3, knock down version but still a PAC-3..I agree with u, medium-long range SAM is essential..

aku pernah cadangkan utk design kapal bersaiz korvet atau large patrol craft, pastu letak dlm 3 double-barrel turret AMOS dan MLRS...      

TLDM should standardise all the main gun for future FAC or LPD, just use the Bofors 57mm Mk 3 naval gun.

i wonder why TLDM love to use MSI-DS produce gun as secondary weapons on it ship, never consider using CIWS?
