that is buy long time ago ...
now our country politic "confrontation" is serious, any new military procurement also can be hu-ha even some politician just hu-ha just base on rumors news.

RM1.17 billion for 4 ship, cost about RM 300 mil each, USD @4.4/1 usd, it cost about USD 68 mill. still acceptable.

yes, but our Gowind have extra increase 9 meter hull length in middle of ship (between hanger and Engine exhaust)

should be. our military culture all ways all in. no really heave weapon, just main gun and machine gun, (no missile)
056 only cost about usd 100 with all include.

i guest F18 ASH block3 flyway price should be usd 80-90 。。。usd 15mi for ammunition, usd 20 mi for 5 year parts/service. l

hopefully get FREMM-ER .... but with at lease 48-64 VLS.

globaleye mainly add surface radar to provide superior surface monitoring, means can also do sea radar seach, AIS detection, etc。

base on our navy use US standard weapon missile
LCS AAW possible with 4 fix panal Sea Master 400 radar + SM2 missile (wish) + CAMM-ER+ SeaRAM2 for 3 layer defense。

France Airbus have C295 AEW ... but radar/system is from Israel+Thales.
if got money can fund project A319 Erieye or A319 AEW with C295 AEW radar system also can

SH block iii long time done project already, and offer to few country AF, include RMAF since 2013, but so far only Kuwaiti is order F18 not sure what version.
off couse if customize extra future module different story。

but sylver can't do quadpack missile。 using MK41 can have ESSM or future CAMM-ER & JSM missile VLS... CAMM quardpack so far only develop for Mk41 and ExLS vls
SCALP i like very like too, but under international weapon control can't export missile over 300km range。 so France can't export to as。

if see price, FREMM not really expensive if not TOT/IP.

well if see LCS construction picture, LCS hull too small (not enough deep) to install Sylver 50 VLS system for Aster30. it need increase to around 4000 tons for capable install 32 VLS ... so better get DCNS FTI Medium-Size or FREMM-ER Frigates.

well DCNS in Australia Frigate project is offer MK41.
Crotale too old and short range.
Best combination option
1) Smarts-L lwc radar + APAR2 radar +Mk41
2) Sea Fire 500 integrated imask + Sylver vls

Meko have different model A100, A200。 A200 already middle class frigate at 3000-4000 tonne class（not lcs spec）
Gowind 3000 series LCS so far is large model and is max length.. we need more deep hull means more long length and tonne to install sylver 50 vls,
unless we want make 4000 tone gowinds？

MMEA already upgraded as Malaysia Coast Guard ?

also scale down version - APG-79(V)X



Test Flight Confirms Suitability of Latest Raytheon AESA for Hornet Upgrades
A successful flight test of the Raytheon-built APG-79(V)X AESA radar system has demonstrated the functions needed to extend the combat relevance of F/A-18C/D Hornet aircraft for 15 to 20 years. Hornet fleets upgrading to the new APG-79V(X) radar will receive Super Hornet-like capabilities, including:

extended detection ranges
simultaneous air-to-air and air-to-ground capabilities
production of high-resolution synthetic aperture radar (SAR) mapping
industry leading reliability

“We put our latest AESA radar to the test, and it exceeded our expectations,” said Mike “Ponch” Garcia, business development director of Tactical Airborne Systems for Raytheon’s Space and Airborne Systems business, and a former F/A-18E/F Super Hornet pilot/instructor. “Our APG-79(V)X combines the best features of our AESA portfolio to maintain tactical advantage for F/A-18C/D aircraft.”

Since fielding the world’s first operational AESA radar for airborne platforms in 2000, Raytheon has delivered more than 500 tactical AESA radars for F-15, F/A-18E/F, EA-18G and B-2 aircraft. The APG-79 system, a U.S. Navy program of record, flies globally on F/A-18E/F Super Hornets and EA-18G Growlers, and has seen service in four combat theaters since its first delivery in 2006.

“Our experience with AESA radar systems ensures a low-risk transition to the APG-79V(X). Installations require less than 60 minutes,” said Roy Azevedo, vice president for Raytheon’s Space and Airborne Systems business. “In these uncertain economic times, when defense budgets are particularly tight, Raytheon’s APG-79V(X) radar offers a proven, cost-effective solution for Hornet life extension, as well as significant opportunities for in-country manufacturing partnerships.”
