We received information that the seventh and eighth Acero-class Fast Attack Interdiction Crafts (FAIC) will arrive before the end of August or early September this year.

These ships made by Israel Shipyards will be delivered using a civilian cargo ship. 

These crafts are not just ordinary ships they are equipped with state-of-the-art MLR-NLOS missile launchers including the formidable Spike NLOS missiles. 

This Advanced Weaponry ensures that these ships are battle-ready and capable of responding to various Maritime threats and emergencies swiftly and effectively.

In addition to the delivery of the seventh and eighth FAIC, the last ship of the Acero-class the pansi ab will be assembled in the Philippines as part of the FAIC acquisition projects contract.

This marks a significant milestone for the Philippines as it demonstrates the country's growing capabilities in ship-building and self-reliance in defense manufacturing.
