Missile Capable Interdiction Patrol Boat for Philippine Navy - Shaldag Mk V

Israel Shipyards to supply Philippine Navy with 'Shaldag' patrol vessels:

The Shaldag-class patrol boat (Hebrew: שלדג‎, Kingfisher) is a small but fast class of patrol boats developed for the Israeli Navy and launched in 1989, it has since seen service with several other navies. Designed for security tasks where high intercept speeds are required, such as interdiction of terrorism and illegal smuggling. Its salient features high speed in rough seas, with good seakeeping and outstanding maneuverability, exceptionally low slamming in all sea states, dry decks at all speeds and very spacious and accessible internal arrangement.

The vessels are armed with a Typhoon Weapon Station, mounting a Bushmaster M242 and electro-optics systems. They are equipped with foredeck and aftdeck rings for Oerlikon 20 mm cannon and a single gun mount. There are spigots for 0.5-inch machine guns on both sides of the main deck. The boat is able to accommodate most advanced new weapon systems, such as the rapid-fire stabilized gun mount, remotely controlled by a night vision system. The Shaldag Mark II variants are equipped with Spike ER surface to surface missiles.

Mabuhay NAVY WARRIORS! HOOYAH MARINE FLEET. yan pag navy ka at na assign ka sa marine fleet asahan mo walang madaling trabaho at dapat matatag katawan mo. Dahil puro kayo patroling sa dagat nanghuhunting sa mga npa na lumalabas at pasok sa mindanao pati sa pirata at smugglers. Sabi nga nila "if u want to sail and saves civilians life go to COASTGUARD, but if you want to sail with defending country and destroy enemy well go to NAVY"
