question is this how they fold the blades when inside the ships hangar.. is it a bit time consuming. Anyone familiar with this?

not really familliar about it, but if you look at it at practical POV... its not really time consuming... mas time consuming and expensive if pass2 ang wear and tear sa blade if dili mahipos ug tarong... not sure if ila sad ipatung ang sokol sa rack like what we did sa ato uban air asset...

I thought you were going to say ACR there, lol. Good for Remington, nalupig baya ni sila sa FN-USA for the US Army contract last year.

Anyway, what happened to the bid for DMRs last year?

4 firms qualify for P18-B Navy frigate bidding


MANILA, Philippines - Four companies have qualified for the next stage of the bidding for the acquisition by the Philippine Navy of two frigates worth P18 billion.

Navantia Sepi (RTR Ventures) of Spain and South Korean firms STX Offshore & Shipbuilding, Daewoo Shipbuilding & Marine Engineering Co. Ltd. and Hyundai Heavy Industries, Inc. hurdled the first stage of the bidding process, which involved the inspection of company documents, The STAR learned.

Fourteen firms bought bid documents but only seven submitted bids for the frigate acquisition project, one of the big-ticket items in the Armed Forces of the Philippines’ upgrade program. The ships can be used to boost the Philippines’ security presence in the West Philippine Sea and conduct humanitarian missions.

The Department of National Defense’s bids and awards committee said documents submitted by three of the seven bidders had deficiencies. Garden Reach Shipbuilders & Engineers Ltd. of India, STX France SA and Thyssenkrupp Marine System can still file a motion for reconsideration to prove that they are qualified to bid for the project, the committee said.

The seven firms that bought bid documents but did not submit offers were Piriou Naval Services, Damen Shipyards, Fincantieri, DCNS France, Magazon Dock Pipavav Defense Pvt. Ltd., Stone of David and Rouvia Yachts / Rouvia Defense Inc

Basin mahal ra kaayo ang ACR....

Also, impractical ra kaayo for its price (in our case). No knock on the ACR, but the M4/AR-15 variants will get the job done. No need to go next gen sah.
