Why we should not? It is a tiny 700 tonne ship the same price of a locally built 1890 tonne OPV !!!! Even koreans can build 4000 tonne large OPV bigger than our Gowinds for less than those chinese boats. Its performance also pales in comparison to cheaper boats like damen FCS5009.

So Hornet is not the only bird that dropped the Paveway LGB during Op Daulat...

thing is, our gowind is just not big enough for guided missile type duty. If we look at other  area air defence ship, they are usually destroyer-sized ship, usually double the displacement of our LCS. Just look at Type 45 or any of the Aegis-capable ships. I do agree that gowind is pretty under equipped but to suggest that gowind could become our DDG is just stupid

The Gowind was a modular design  Corvette ORIGINALLY displaced:. It is too light to be a frigate.

1) 1000 tons  OR
2) 2500 tons

Egypt use modular Gowind 2500 tons. In total Egypt already launch 2 Gowind 2500 tons corvettes . 1st Built in Naval Group in 2017, 2nd unit produced by local Egyption
yard launch in 2019

UAE in 2019 also signed contract to purchase two Gowind 2500 tons from Naval Grouo. One has been delivwred on service.

Malaysia signed contract for 6 Gowind 3100 tons corvettes since 2014.

When you try to change the design by increase the tonnage by 600 tons (2500 original tonnage to 3100 tonnage) and the length  by 9 metres (from 102 metres to 111 metres) BUT your armament are still same as Gowind 2500, you are just getting Naval Group to put on a new design and you have to buy the design so call blue print. And you not even try to built one in Naval Group but can kow tim built all here. And you screw up the 6 corvettes

😁😁

You tak tahu ke Alza tu is actually elongated Myvi? Perodua also buat no problem.

seen today

Hopefully it should not.

From the panglima TUDM speech, those additional Hornets to be flown by 17 Squadron.

TLDM is using DARDO 40mm, bofors 40mm and  bofors 57mm for close in air defence.
