4th Azmat FAC-M is under construction.
The vessels offer a modular layout to support variable requisite package according to customer requirements.The OPVs dont seem to be capable of carrying missiles so will probably be chosen to do patrol duties more economically whilst freeing our more capable platforms for less wear and tear.
These OPVs also have UAV capability. Lets see if they are local or imported.
Since PN upgraded order to 2300ton the pictures/videos match the OPV2400.
OPV Damen 2400

PN intends to use these vessels as 'Force multiplier' and will be focusing on its anti surface & anti ship capabilities.
And these are corvettes, not OPVs.
