Sirikwan, although a DTA member, is continuing as a DDS export customer and are keen to diversify their source of weapons. They have just signed a 3.1 billion zark order which includes a number of items.
Chief among these is a confirmation for 7 more Pentekonter-E120s to join the 3 already in service. The 4th was already paid for and this order pays for the other 6 as well as 5 years worth of software upgrades and an improved passive sensor suite for all of the ships.
Sirikwan's 6 Helwin patrol ships will also begin their upgrade and life extension later this Summer. The DDS will fully refurbish the ships to give them another 12-15 years of life, sensors will be upgraded to the same system as in the Pentekonters, a TPM-1 compatible missile launcher will be fitted (though will fire Dino TPMs) and a number of other systems will also be improved.
Finally a third Extender-E has been ordered to join the 2 already in service. The outstanding Provider-E has been cancelled though, it is thought the Dino built Provider-EDA will be purchased instead.
