China's increased assertiveness over territorial claims to the South China Sea is leading the Philippines to embark on the biggest military procurement program it has ever undertaken.

Re: ASEAN military news
The OH Perry vessels are much larger and more powerful, dpeending on how the Thai's have them configured.
At any rate, my only point was simple, there is a strong alliance between Thailand and the US. There is no such alliance with China. Perhaps some day there wil be...but not now.
No dispute in that...but the main offensive punch for this OPV is a two cannister US made Harpoon missile system.

Re: ASEAN military news
You might want check out C-802, Thailand uses them, and they are in the same class as Harpoon . And yes Perry is a frig, and that ship is a Corvette, so they are not even in the same class therefore it is not smart to make comparison between the two.
My point is it does not have to be an allies to be on good terms with China, just because Thailand is a official ally of US, does not mean it will be enemy with China. Or that in the even of conflict Thailand will automatically go to US's side.
Therefore for nation like this, it is very smart, they don't choose side and gets patronage from everyone.
