Sirikwan still wish to buy DDS ships

Despite announcing their intention to leave the DDS and join the rival DTA Sirikwan says it still wishes to continue with its existing order for Pentekonter-E patrol boats with the DDS. It has 8 E120s on order though deliveries are on hold for the duration of the war. Sirikwan say they also want to continue with the DDS upgrades of their Helwin fleet, continue to buy Ferret-E UCVs though its possible they may cancel their remaining Provider-E they have on order.

Its not known if the DDS will honour these orders though Sirikwan have indicated they wish for an "amicable" separation and the DDS will likely be in need of revenue after the end of the war.

Sirikwan have said they will be looking further afield for their future ships however and as well as the Dinomark XTs they already have on order they have shown an interest in the Clones' planned export version of its Shark frigate, the Shark SKC.
