Israel Shipyard's Shaldag Mk. V Fast Patrol Boat Offered to the Philippine Navy

Despite bring a Horizon 2 project, it is now being front-loaded for early processing rather than wait until 2018 due to the prerogatives of new Philippine president, Rodrigo Roa Duterte, in beefing up the capabilities to fight internal threats like insurgency, terrorism, and drug shipments as part of his overall security plan.
In simplistic terms, the Philippine Navy describe, heavily armed boats, with sufficient sensor capability to detect targets from a distance, and can run at high speeds sufficient enough to catch up and intercept other fast craft threats.

For my own opinion this is the best patrol boat for the PN. Israel patrol boats is heavily armed boats with sensor capability to detect targets from distance.

15 additional shaldag mk 5 are in the pipe line already

[sturgeonslaw]

These may be highly capable small patrol craft, but calling them heavily armed combat ships is at best a huge exaggeration. I'm not saying they won't be useful to the PN, nor that they are flawed. I am merely saying you should not call a spade a steam shovel.
