How is the new Lekiu frigates the Malaysians are planning to acquired compared to our Delta frigates? Fom the outside they both look pretty impressive. Very Happy

The current 2 Lekiu FFGs are operating MM40 Exocet. The subsequent ones should be the same or they may opt for the Block 2 version.

they are using the Bofor 57 hummmmm
think it was one of those where the barrel can be retract back to the gun mount to reduce it's signature ... not too sure thou Mr. Green

Fairyland SG

If one looks beyond the weaponry and the vessel.......

One clue to the power of the Deltas:

-> look at the installed electrical generators officially ~3.2MW!

Same as ships equipped with BOTH APAR and SMART-L!!!

So Leiku Batch 2 .......

bofors aint necessary inferior to oto melara...
mgb using bofors shoot and hit targets better than mcv and pvs which are using oto melara...
but oto melara got longer range and blah blah blah....
but the bottomline is hitting the target, there are many times mgb hits better...and got best gun...
