Fincantieri | FINCANTIERI WILL PROVIDE 8 VESSELS TO INDONESIA
www.fincantieri.com
6 FREMM + 2 Maestrale
It seem like this the other contract beside rafale that Alman mention yesterday
8 frigates and 36 Rafale!! Damn!! Indonesia is on . So, can we expect a transfer of technology? Will PT-PAL build half of these cause that's what the press release is indicating.
Common sense,
Japanese frigates are multi-purpose, so does the FREMM (assuming the deal was for General Purpose Frigate)
Meanwhile Iver Huitfeldt was meant to be AAW Frigate (If i am not mistaken), so makes it down to either Japanese or Italians, and looks like Italians have won.
So either;
Italians have sold AAW Frigate and Iver Huitfeldt is going to be General purpose, or
Italians have sold General purpose frigate and Iver Huitfeldt is going to be AAW Frigate.
People tends to forget Iver Huitfeldt deal.The leaked wishlist from Rapim TNI clearly stated that the Navy wants 16 140m frigates. So we'll have 6 FREMM + 2 Iver after this Fincantieri announcement. We still have 8 empty slots which actually fits the Mogami news (8 frigates).
The above message applies, why iver-huitfeldt should remain at 2?Indonesian surface combatants fleet 2025 upwards:
6x FREMM DDG
2x Iver DDG
2x Maestrale FFG
2x Martadinata FFG
3x Bung Tomo (light)FFG
4x Diponegoro (light)FFG
3x Fatahillah OPV
14x Parchim corvette
12x FPB-57
8x FAC-60
2x FAC-40
3x Mandau class FAC (could be retired gradually).
==========
should be better if they decide to add the 8x planned Mogami (30FFM) like many still suggest.

and how many are properly armed and equipped ??
could be, another requirement for another 6 or more hulls could be satisfied with the Iver's and even more so if it's locally build.People tends to forget Iver Huitfeldt deal.

Think broader mate, if there is sufficient knowledge to build it locally, why buy from abroad? First two will be jointly produced and latter 6 can be re-designed, equipped according to the taste (either ASW, MP or AAW)
The need to buy from abroad arisen due to the urgent needs.

so, Is it as AH leaked the days before today just co incidence?Naaah ..... If it wasn't for 08 . There is litle chance fremm get noticed by indonesian public at all . Add that with our dissapointment at Damen side as an impetus for finding a new suplier or else It was the Omega class that would bag this contract .
Somehow i'm still imagining about some one at Damen office banging his head on his office table after reading this ... Today . While most of the problem were trully coming from our side they really shooting themselves at foot with their latest charade ... Boy , we are surely can hold a grudges there .....
