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

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.
