Looks like the Philippines are buying two frigates from Hyundai Heavy Industries.
Should be a good ASW platform, also a nice base for the Wildcats they brought from the UK.
http://www.janes.com/article/63401/hyundai-wins-usd337-million-frigate-contract-from-philippine-navy
Bit surprised at the lack of VLS.
>>31191591
They got two ships for 337 million. Nigga, thats a great price. THey should be happy they got more than rowboats.
It should have a box of four for the launchers, so a total of 8.
For defense, it should have the 21 box launcher of RAM,
All and all, for around 300 mill for 2, not to bad.
>>31191591
That's part of the Tech Package. The Base and SX models don't include it, but it's an available option.
>>31191613
>>31191619
Shit, I thought that's what the price was for each one. That's a crazy good deal.
Are they relying on the Wildcats for ASW? I there's nothing about a hull mounted or towed sonar.

Maybe the Russian should actually make a 5th gen rather than complaining when the rest of the world calls a duck a duck.
Looks pretty good for a ASW frigate.
Wonder what sensors and weapons fit they'll roll with.

Chinese made ships already operate in other navies just fine. For 300 mil a pop the 054As are great. They do ASW too.
>>31192135
Chinese ships are also for poor countries that can't even afford Korean ships, and they still fit them out with superior Western sensors like the Algerians did.

That's a pretty damn nice little ASW frigate on only 3k tons and 140 crew. If we didn't need the LCS for MCM and littoral work as well as ASW, I'd almost wish we had these instead.
>>31193724
For the price tag, this is probably the best ship afloat.
>>31191738
They didn't even shit on it, they just repeated what they were told by the manufacturer.

>>31191332
>>31191727
Are they going to decommission our beloved /k/ ship?
For reference, this is what the second batch of six Incheon class frigates will look like. Different sensor suite, and the addition of the a 16 cell K-VLS in front of the bridge.
DSME secured the contract for this while HHI and STX had the first six.
The third block is markedly different too.
>>31191332
>And lo and behold, a third world navy manages to buy a better ASW frigate than the LCS for 1/3 the money.
>>31192135
Yeah, I am sure the Chinese are just dying to sell frigates to the Philippines. /s
>>31198246
Hey, hey kid.
Want to buy a frigate?
What went wrong?
Pretty interested to see which companies take out the Australian and Canadian frigate replacements.
Also Type 26 contract when?
>>31198411
They couldn't offer what they promised at their bidding price.
http://www.janes.com/article/61928/philippines-disqualifies-garden-reach-from-light-frigate-programme
I want to see what the frigates from Damen are building for the Indonesians will end up looking like when finished.
Pretty cool design.
I think the Vietnamese have contracted the Russians for two more Gepards, and the Thais have ordered a frigate from Korea too, albeit a different design from DSME instead of HHI.
>>31192646
turbo kebabs affiliated with ISIS were mad that they are getting decimated in an ongoing land war, they threatened him that they gonna fuck shit up like the nogs they are.
And it looks like they did it, the absolute madmen.
Seems like these faggots prefer IEDs more than going out there and shooting (which I hope they don't, and if they did, they should get stopped by a cop/armed guard/civvie), they don't want to face resistance.
They want war, we'll shove it up their ass.
>>31197381
Why do you need that many guns?
>>31199105
It's literally a WWII warship. Cannon class destroyer escort/frigate.
Needs all the dakka it can get for kamikaze protection.
>>31198411
>What went wrong?
South Korea literally offered to sell them an entire fleet of second-hand Corvettes to go with it at a later date. Most of Philippines fleet right now is 2nd hand US patrol boats.
>>31199296
Nah, the Filipinos visited GRSE and realised the terms they offered were bullshit, hence why they were disqualified and negotiations and the eventual contract with HHI resumed.
>>31199346
No, they visited GRSE to check out the infrastructure and deemed it satisfactory.
Later they brought up a Hyundai-favored financial guarantee clause, which GRSE couldn't achieve with current cash-flow and reserves. Obviously a big company like Hyundai could.
The clause was only there to disqualify the lowest bidder (GRSE) amicably. The Koreans offered something a lot better under the table, so they went for it.
>>31199419
I stand corrected.
>>31199457
It happens a lot, especially with the US.
This is the easiest way to refuse an offer while also preventing accusations of corruption in the bidding process for going for the more expensive offer.
Koreans are making a killing in Asia.
Two frigates for Thailand, three submarines for Indonesia, two frigates for the Philippines and an AOR for New Zealand.
Here's a model for the Thai frigates.
>>31191332
That's a sweet deal. Flip air force should buy more of these babies.
>>31199782
They've got enough for advanced flight training and air enforcement.
Should save up for some F-16s or Gripens next.

The Philippines should move towards self-reliance and end its dependence on the United States for national security. They can never match Chinese defense spending, but they will have to have to develop minimum deterrence capabilities that allow them to resist and inflict sufficient retaliation if China continues to undermine Philippine territorial integrity

It's yet to be proven Jane's has gotten anything current wrong about Russian tech, and they've been shockingly accurate on past platforms through their entire history.
The only sources disagreeing are Russian-state directed media, which has a clear, vested interest in seeming capable in ways it is demonstrably not.

In reality, it is the Filipinos who consider Chinese subhuman and themselves to be the most civilized in the region next to the Japanese, almost equal to whites. It is a position the Chinese in Taiwan, China, Hong Kong etc wish to occupy but cannot. They cannot match the cultivation of the Philippines.
>>31210981
That's what 300 years of white dick and Christianity does to a bunch of savages. On the other hand the Flips have a Muslim insurrection and Duterte is pussying out on dealing with them, so clearly they needed more time as a colony.

China is far worse in nearly every way. Second best in east Asia is still crap.
There are only three navies based in the Pacific that can match and interoperate with the USN in terms of equipment and training: the JMSDF, RAN and the Philippine Navy
>>31211067
Not RoK? Why? They've got great US-based gear and come out to all the big exercises.
>>31202562
Probably more than meets the eye.
French colony, french equipment, c3i interface, etc.
Honestly, I don't think algeria has a more rigorous set of demands for seaborn radars than the fucking PLAN.
>>31211082
The ROK is primarily a land power, unlike the Philippines, and it shows. In recent naval confrontations with the North Koreans, the ROKN is always on the losing end.
Ironically, the Philippines will put Korean-produced ships to better use than the Koreans themselves, who are generally militarily inept like the Chink nations (Taiwan, Singapore etc)
>>31210981
In reality, nobody gives a shit what the flips think, not even flips themselves.
Truth is, everyone in Asia thinks they're the most civilized and the rest are subhumans. Everyone hates everyone else. Kinda endearing.
>>31211101
Absolutely false, Korea operates the highest displacement AEGIS in the world.
You have no fucking clue what you're talking about.
You're a flip, aren't u?
>>31211067
Flips don't have a real navy. Stfu.
And u missed ROKN.
Flip plz go.
>>31200350
How would they mod the F100? Ditch AEGIS for CEAFAR and add another hanger? Getting a bit long in the tooth for my liking.
Why wasn't the Danish frigate in the running?
Don't like the FREMM.
Type 26 will be the right choice IMO.
>>31211139
>>31211156
The only yellow race to have beaten the Filipinos in a war are the Japs and even then, they eventually lost to the largest guerilla movement in Asia.
The South Koreans needed the Filipinos to save them in 1950-53 and as for the Chinks, nothing more needs to be said.
>>31211087
Ehh, i would say the alegerians had a choice, and choose a western compay for radars.
China cant, or wont due to national pride.
>>31211231
Its not the 50s no more, bruh.
>>31211231
Flips...
I bet you think flips are one of the most powerful people in the world, heh?
Get fucking real, nobody gives a shit about your country.
Don't make the chinks boycott your bananas again.
>>31211316
Oh, China can't buy most western equipment for sure, but I think the algerian choice has more to do with how easily a thales suite fits into their existing c3i environment.
Get back to making my clothes, you stupid chink!
>>31211406
That moved to vietnam and india, and other poor countries. Chinese wages are too high.
>>31211352
True, but i doubt algeria is datashareing that much, and radar is radar, you can integrate east and west into a c3i network, its just harder.
Export thales radar is not exactly top notch stuff, and if the chinese radar is of lesser quality...
