Yes, personally I hope it's destroyer instead of frigateThis is different than Merah Putih with Turkish subsystems and will be a Turkish designed ship, correct? Interesting.
TBH, I would expect Indonesia to initially go with Turkish OPVs and Italian destroyers, and this is uncharted waters now.Yes, personally I hope it's destroyer instead of frigate
So far, Merah Putih Frigate will be fitted with Italian Kronos MFR and Athena CMS. But for the vls will be fitted with MidlasThis is different than Merah Putih with Turkish subsystems and will be a Turkish designed ship, correct? Interesting.
Last time I checked, the Turkish Navy was not open to cooperation on the first batch of TF-2000s, and they are focusing on a design that will primarily serve their needs. In the later blocks, after SSB and any other company signs a contract with the Navy and gets design rights, they can get it modified for the customer as per a cooperating dictates.TBH, I would expect Indonesia to initially go with Turkish OPVs and Italian destroyers, and this is uncharted waters now.
TF-2000 is a great prospect, but the design itself is not finalized yet. First hull is not yet in production and suffice to say it will take at least 3-4 years for the first ship to become a product. I'm not sure if they are thinking about exports at this stage, would be a big surprise. Asfat's AS3600 could be one other prospect i think.
@Anmdt, what do you think?
I hope its something smaller.Yes, personally I hope it's destroyer instead of frigate
