Putri 500 confirm order; Molab order extra ship and upgrade

Putri 500 have signed a massive 19.1 billion zark order with the DDS for warships, spares and training support. 1 Velocity-E, 4 Isometric-E, 10 Pentekonter-E, 4 Extender-E and 2 Provider-E will be bought along with spares, training and other support. The first ships, the Extenders should begin arriving at the end of next year with other ships coming afterwards.

Existing customer Molab have ordered an extra Provider-E and also have bought the tactical pack for their 2 Extender-Es. The tactical pack beefs up self-defence and adds basic patrol capabilities with improved sensors and weapons. The ships will not carry TPMs however unlike DDS transports with the pack.

Also 3 more ex-Utrek Kalahati Tuuls have been given to the Aritans making a total of 8. The first 2 ships are expected to enter service next month.
