Just some suggestion... Anything that posted on the internet is not eternal, so if you worry an important post or image would be deleted in the future, you could archive them at archive.org, if website, put the url in their "Save page now" option
This is one of my worries regarding the recovery using Chinese ships: Their equipment may not be strong enough. Timas DSV 1201 has a crane with reported loading capacity of 1200 metric tons, theoretically able to lift Nanggala's hull pieces.
At 3:25 they put Elang Hitam as the same class of MQ-9 Reaper, that should not be the case. Reaper is heavier, has more powerful engine, and more hardpoint. Other UAVs of the same class are these:

The oldest media source that mentioned about the relation between LPH 190 and Star 50 that I found is this:

The author somehow associates the star 50 double skin build with the LPH hull, which...
I did some reading, and it's turned out that LPH 190 m is not based on Star 50 bulk carrier. It was just misinterpretation (by online medias) of the premise that since Star 50 bulk carrier (189 m long) can be built by PT PAL, a ship as large as 190 m LPH can be built at PAL too (need to remind...
I'm sure he was referring to the discontinued 190 m LPH. For 244 m LPH we just simply has no evidence whether it's based on Star 50 bulk carrier or new design.
Comparing PT BBI's diesel engine products on their website and Doosan website, it turns out that they merely copy paste what available in Doosan website. The images, even the description text are the same as in Doosan website.

They better upgrade their manufacturing facilities... We don't want BBI to just "jalan di tempat" without making any progress for 10 years like some other manufacturing company (BBI for now is making engine using CKD system, I don't even know what component they make for those engines)
He probably worried because 403 had 12 problems during its sea trial, and after a while only reduced to 5 problems. We need a working submarine to fill the requirement for the minimum 12 submarines, not experimental, flawed submarines.
Looking at the Strategic Plan of PT PAL

The 2018 National Technology Congress (KTN 2018) was held on July 17-19 2018 in the BPPT Jakarta Building Hall. This year, KTN focuses on Material Technology, Disaster Technology and Defense and Security Technology.
Especially for defense...
