Unit cost, $40 million!
The US would pay a billion for it, with 960 million going to the pockets of the senators, congressmen and their flunkys.
Indeed. Its hard to believe its that cheap. Albeit its weapons system is a bit weak and for its size its rather light but still, its a steal.
And they are “flying off the shelves” :D Indonesia has bought 5, Philippines 2, and even Peru bought 2 !
Not really a war ship but a disaster relief ship.. Doubt it will survive very long in a real war.. But to get to an area quick and support the logistics this is a great cheap functional ship..
Buy one and try to sell it for 500:)
This class of ship seems like a real bargain. As far as it’s planned armament, it may seem light but can always be easily supplemented by installing pedestals for light automatic weapons or MANPADS. A ship for less than the price of that disastrous flop of a bird F-35 is always an accomplishment.
