They already have RPGs by the truck load. RPG7s are as common as dust down there.

True, the trick is actually hiding it till you get close enough though

You can hide a lot of weapons on something like this, be they RPGs, M2's or up and up ATGMs.

What about a small, cheap Coastguard-cutter-eske design operated by the UN for escort and patrol? You don't need Tomahawks and ESSM against guys in a fishing boat. That actually gives me an idea for something to draw, lol.

Yeah... The USN's already ahead of you with two hulls meant for that already in the water, they're named the USS Freedom LCS-1 & USS Independence LCS-2.

True, but a cheaper, UN-operated design is more what I'm thinking.

the dutch holland class? compared to LCS, those are cheap, and they are designed for just the task you describe.
they are a bit slow though, but have 2 40 knots RHIB's on board
