Malaysia plans delivery of US$500 million warship without missiles
The vessel is described as fully equipped for anti-submarine, anti-air and electronic warfare, with missiles omitted.
Malaysia is preparing for the delivery of a warship valued at US$500 million, with delivery planned without the missiles it was originally expected to carry, according to a roundup of Asia developments published by the SCMP Economy.
The SCMP describes the ship as fully equipped for anti-submarine, anti-air, and electronic warfare capabilities, but with a noted omission of the means to sink an enemy ship, indicating the missile component is not included in the delivery as planned.
The item was included among highlights from the SCMP’s reporting over the prior week, positioning the warship delivery as a notable defense-related development in Asia.
