In other words, whoever wins the deal will use this budget to upgrade PT PAL's equipments. This will be allocated as upfront cash for necessary equipments, facility and training.
Reloaded by crew and not in quite long time. Not favorable for blue water ships but only littoral patrol vessels (the system was developed for these vessels to begin wtih) or OPVs where crew can safely reload.
Couple dozens atleast, let's create an Ace combat fleet with that.

The article is talking about supplementary budget alias "anggaran tambahan" that includes the money to purchase the vls system not necessarily the money to purchase the ships. If you want to know what they going to purchase with the 6.8 billion of supplementary budget, Jane's have an article about itInitially, the Mogami-class was only “fitted for but not with” (FFBNW) Mk. 41 vertical launch system (VLS). This changed at the end of 2021: According to our Japan-based contributor, Yoshihiro Inaba, In late November, the Japanese Ministry of Defense announced the supplementary budget for FY2021, which included a budget for two VLSs sets for FFM ships. Two FFM frigates will get 16 cells each (allowing for a total of 32 quad-parcked ESSM each). The total supplementary budget is about $6.8 billion, of which about $74 million is for the purchase of the VLS shipsets. Originally, the FFM 9 and 10 specified in the defense budget request for FY2022 included a budget for VLS. Therefore the VLS specified in this supplemental budget is for installation on any of the FFM ships 1 through 8.
Japan’s MHI Launches ‘Mikuma’ 「みくま」Fourth FFM Mogami-class Frigate for JMSDF - Naval News
Japanese shipbuilder Mitsubishi Heavy Industries (MHI) in Nagasaki launched today "Mikuma", the fourth Mogami-class vessel. Also known as FFM, it is a next generation frigate for the Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force (JMSDF).
$6.8 bil for 8 ships, each ship will have 2 set of vls (16 cells).
That's $850 per ship (16 cells + missile (very likely).
How much again the cost per ship of our AH140 and FREMM?
Its definitely FFBNW pahe right?
@Madokafc
16 ×4 = 64 eh? Or only 8 cells vls equipped with quadpack 8×4=32
Or only several cells will be loaded with missile during peace time.
