One of them is the commando version. From the current configuration, it looks like it's going to be used by SSGN.

Seaking serial number-15

hopefully PN will get decent Z18 variant from China for navy

we should establish a proper rotary wing ASW squadron with latest technologies to sweep the coast

tbh I wouldn't count Leonardo and the AW101 out either. I know it's costlier, but it's a mature and widely used platform. It wouldn't be beyond the PN to opt for that to supplant the Sea Kings.

No it is not.
Much less.

Z-18 would be an ideal replacement for the venerable the SH-3 Sea King. The latter has served long past its shelf life, and in the coming years would be in need to be completely replaced.
