LANGKAWI: New LMS Graphic. Fresh from the news that all four LMS will be made in China, the builder is showing the latest CGI of the ship at its booth at LIMA 19.
It is likely that’s been on the cards – for sometime now – as the change in terms of the contract was only made known, last week or so.
The CGI is the first of the LMS from the starboard side instead of the port of the previous ones, if I remember correctly, of course.
It also has more details feature on top of the bridge especially the electro optical director.
Interestingly at the Boustead booth, there is no mention of the new details of the new LMS contract. Again this is likely done well before the latest announcement.

The gun is a simplified H/PJ-17 30MM RCWS usually fitted to coast guard ships. The difference is there is EO turret on the gun itself.

Nothing so far on this LMS68 looks like it is worth RM262.5 million...

Actually a bit off topic, but has anybody noticed the Chinese type 055 cruiser looks very like the LCS?
@ tom tom
No it doesnt.

The type 55 is also 4x more heavier in displacement than the gowind.
Terlepas jugak mat rempit indonesia ni kat sini...
I would expect to pay this price for Kedah class OPV
Ridiculous
But what to do, contract is signed from 2016
Should arm it with heavier weapon n more weapons instead of just one small cannon up front only
@ chua
You cannot get a Kedah class OPV for that price (that is another goldplated piece of kit), but you can get a DAMEN OPV 1800 that APMM is getting or even 2x Vikram class OPV.
When the price of the LMS68 1st came out, I was attacked (calling me bahlol) by a malaysian FB military community for stating the obvious.

Jgn dilayan mat rempit tu,mungkin dia sendiri frust di tempat blog mainan dia tu.

With your vast knowledge I'm glad if you can make some comparison between JF-17 Block 3 and other 4th generation fighter.It seems like our PM interested to get those bird.
