On June 10, 2024, the Turkish Defense Industry Agency (SSB) received a letter of acceptance for the Littoral Mission Ship (LMS) Batch 2 Project, which will be procured for the Royal Malaysian Navy. The project involves the construction of three LMS corvettes in Türkiye, designed to meet the requirements of the Royal Malaysian Navy. During the customization of these ships, products from several Turkish defense industry companies, including HAVELSAN, ASELSAN, and ROKETSAN, will be utilized. Additionally, Malaysia and Türkiye signed a Memorandum of Understanding about the procurement of defense products, marking the first time Malaysia has signed such an agreement with another country. The LMS Batch 2 Corvette will integrate air defense missiles, specifically the Haegung (Korean Surface-to-Anti Air Missile), manufactured by the South Korean company Lig NEX1.
