No, not that version.MICA NG?
Unless there's an amandment to the contract for MLM packages however there's none, not AFAIK. After this one, they'll go for the rest of The Class.

TR doesn't hold the IP rights, only acquired license for 2 hulls that one can be transferred - sold. 1st hull built and equipped in TR. Engineering works were done in Navantia, certain modifications are done in TR (Mast, EMI analysis etc) and scantling - equipping design done in TR, so mainly done by Navantia.PAL also can copy similar roadmap, 1 built in Turkey + 1 assembled in Surabaya.
How much does it cost for two anadolu class LHD? How it does compared with Canberra class in term of price?it’s 100% possible, considering the cost of the targeted ship concept (ie Navantia-Sedef TCG Anadolu).
To be complements as ASW platform with the upcoming FREMM?especially Parchim Class, what do we want with this aging units
These things not only already obsolete but also offer no flexibility, during their service in our inventory mostly they serve as patrol units not primarily as ASW units as they were in Volksmarine but then it is no a simple job to replace 14 hulls.To be complements as ASW platform with the upcoming FREMM?
Damen Schelde latest marketed SIGMA 9113 model ( which i posted previously ) offers adding modules, one seen with 8 VL MICA though i don't see any model with RIM-116 however given the flexibility of SIGMA designs just like the one in Mexican Navy POLA programme, it might possible to customers demand.Diponegoro should replace those Mistrals with something like a RIM-116.
Replaced Mistrals with Milenium gun?Diponegoro should replace those Mistrals with something like a RIM-116.
Yeah it's time for the Diponegoros to add VLS , the rear Mistral launcher could be dismantled and replaced with RIM, while the forward bridge launcher dismantled without replacement.Damen Schelde latest marketed SIGMA 9113 model ( which i posted previously ) offers adding modules, one seen with 8 VL MICA though i don't see any model with RIM-116 however given the flexibility of SIGMA designs just like the one in Mexican Navy POLA programme, it might possible to customers demand.
The only satisfaction i get, they have no plan to modernise Ahmad Yani Class so it means they indeed plan to retire them. Idk what we are going to do on Parchim Class beyond prolonging operational status for them let's say 10 years. They're cramped small vessels with limited purpose given their dimentional size.Yeah it's time for the Diponegoros to add VLS , the rear Mistral launcher could be dismantled and replaced with RIM, while the forward bridge launcher dismantled without replacement.
The dismantled Tetral launchers could be added to lesser ships like the FPB/KCR or LPDs.

As for the Fatahillah's upgrade package, the previous two has different package from different vendors. Nala could follow this path too.
The Parchims are hopeless effort I concur. It's neither a good ASW platform and more KCR/PC-60 would have been better than wasting money on ex-WarPac junk.The only satisfaction i get, they have no plan to modernise Ahmad Yani Class so it means they indeed plan to retire them.

My side has been informed, the current MoD prefer Rafale Instead. And those F15 EX talks is to replace the Flanker.
This is a very important lesson that must be taken since there's no instant success. It would be unnatural if every first attempt to create something on your own always resulted in a perfect product.
On the other hand, many if not most of the problems in the first batch of products - in this case, the KCR-60 - can be avoided if PT PAL has developed its own truly comprehensive testing methods and equipment, or at least acquired these two from more established shipyards.
True that. But there will be no progress whatsoever if no first step is going to be taken. Since they seem to have gathered enough confidence after developing and building LPDs, it's natural if they want to get their hands on something bigger.
Of course, they should never take anything for granted since the LHD is still something new for them.
Well said indeed It's about taking that first step. It won't be smooth (and could be messy) but it's a first step that must be taken nonethelessWhether PAL can produce it domestically or not is a different question. They can just follow Changabogo production roadmap, and still they can claim it as domestically assembled.
Exactly, and from what I see, it is 'only' going to be a design demonstration, we are not literally building a LHD/CVWell said indeed It's about taking that first step. It won't be smooth (and could be messy) but it's a first step that must be taken nonetheless
