but i think getting SSN means having special ties with some other bloc, that means we are deviating from our political non-bloc status right?? also the anything-contain-nuclear is sensitive in any mean for Indonesian political view
Construction for AH140? they said it will be built in Indonesia under license, that means we will be constructing it from ground zero because it's a new design, it will took much longer time for us, considering Italian and French Fremm built by their own shipbuilder took about 3 years for each...
hmmmm indeed why we got confused, PC60 design has twin on PT.PAL OPV60M design, and also the news itself is not took a long time between Patrol vessel and OPV contract

and that opv alone...
The media statement about this ship as the most modern in the world is obviously misleading, it's too overrated, the most modern in our inventory probably yes, it's depends
For sure we can't compare it to USN Zumwalt Class😅
