shorter so it`s highly unlikely too. There does`nt seem to be
enough space. Also, I doubt they will buy anything we buy in
missiles as the current trend might suggest. ESSMs and standards
are out of the question too. They are going to have problems
getting them from the US and paying; not to mention integrating
them too.
Im thinking it will be seawolfs again or Sea-Rams(if they ever go
around negotiating and buying them from the US) plus [b]Exocet
Block 3s. That would give Singapore a valid excuse to get
something better though.

Another possibility is VL MICA

Romanians selected it to re-arm their two ex-RN Type 22 Batch 2
frigates.
