During the DSA 2024, the Royal Malaysian Navy showcased a scale model of STM's Ada-class corvette as the Littoral Mission Ship - LMS Batch 2. Naval News' Xavier Vavasseur and Tayfun Ozberk discusses the Turkish corvette's Malaysian configuration .

Based the model of the MİLGEM corvette showcased at the Malaysian Navy's booth, the dimensions of the corvette for Malaysia seem the same as the Turkish counterpart. While there are some configuration adjustments, the design appears to adhere closely to the proven Ada-class corvette blueprint.

Notably, the primary difference in the LMS Batch 2 Corvette lies in its integration of air defence missiles. Plans entail outfitting the ship with air defense missiles, housed in 2x2-cell Vertical Launch Systems (VLSs) situated in the aft mast area of the vessel. Information gathered by Naval News at the exhibition indicates that the selected air defence missile for LMS Batch 2 is the Haegung (which means "Sea Bow", or Korean Surface-to-Anti Air Missile (K-SAAM), manufactured by the South Korean company Lig NEX1. With these missiles arranged in a quad-pack configuration, a total of 16 Haegung Surface-to-Air Missiles (SAAMs) will be onboard.
