Pakistan wants better defense ties with Malaysia

What has an Apache got to do with defense relations between Pakistan and Malaysia ???

The standard of news reporting in general and defense related stuff in particular is beyond embarrassing these days.

SAAB/PT Lundin Bonefish USV - a joint project with Sweden:

Capable of speeds of up to 40kts, Bonefish is designed to incorporate a wide range of sensors, satellite-based control and a modular payload bay to enable role flexibility.

...

Potential missions could include anti-piracy, maritime surveillance, anti-submarine warfare, mine countermeasures, search and rescue, and hydrography.

...

“Saab has identified the need for a USV that is modular and adaptable according to the mission,” he told the Show Daily. “The wave-piercing trimaran platform developed by PT Lundin is unique with regard to its ability to sustain high speed in high sea states. That is very important for a craft that is going to be out at sea for extended periods by itself.”

It's nothing more than a demonstrator at this point:

SAAB and P.T Lundin unveil the BONEFISH USV concept at Indo Defence 2014
thanks pal,
tbh i was expecting it to use a pump jet propulsion. since the vessel has a lot of stealthy characteristics a conventional propeller would cause cavitation's, and would increase it chances of being detected. the visby class corvette has pump jet propulsion.
