For sure the Cakra 401 would also be scrutinized as it is the big brother of Nanggala. Any discrepancies found must be rectified before endangering the life of other submariner.
I think i know who's this guy is, bang Iwan...He was once member of ARC (Angkasa Readers Community). I've met him long time ago (2005-2006) during regular ARC kopdar at University of Indonesia's "jungle". They were frequently does some "airsoft gun skirmish" at the weekends there.
Copying by reverse engineering may also take a life time,. Manufacturing license is the best way to learn how to manufacture it. In parallel, we start our own R&D to the engine that we need ( for our own PTDI products and for future indigenous fighter jet).
Looking at the picture of 2 H225 over the river bank, as if i look at 1st air cavalry division of US Army,. It remind sme to a mel gibson's movie : "we were soldier...once and young"
Wondering when we have a full air cavalry division

Some challenges.....obstacles or opporptunities for us?
It's up to our government on which side they are looking at....
Still better than in the 1999-2000 era when Research & Technology Minister was led by ASH with social political background ... the "De-habibienisasi" was on its way....LoL
Well done...,then it's a milestone that we have. At least we have it for roadmap of industrial/power plant gas turbine.
The gas turbine propulsion for cruise missile from ITB also another milestone to achieve, hopefully in the near future.
All of these technological expertise and experiences...
This is what i said before, all the national stakeholders for gas turbine users and manufacturing plants, governmental researcher, universities, KKIP, etc... must have coordination and roadmap together (organized by R&D minister) in order to be able in designing and manufacturing our own gas...
Do you mean the one with cooperation with Siemens? or I maybe missed some of NTP activities.
My current direct superior was ex-NTP (and was one of my instructor at NTP) and he was involved in the project with Siemens in the past. If this project is that you mean , as far as i know NTP only...
We can do similar like Japan has did. Japan through its IHI group (Ishikawajima-Harima Industries) has manufactured by license some of US fighter jet engines for their own fleet.
Other Japan giant corporations like Hitachi has license from GE Power for power plant gas turbines, Mitsubishi has...
The gas turbine technology, be it for aero propulsions (turbo prop, turbo fan, turbo jet) or marine propulsions application, is not a rocket science...in fact, it's more than a rocket science.
We can see how many countries are more and more capable in rocket propulsion for their space program...
I believe his opinion was by a high tech base industrialist point of view, in which all the high investment in technology and R&D must be recovered by market sales.
Yes I agree with you, what i wrote as started with airframe manufacturing doesn't mean to stuck forever in airframe technology or even solely cooperates with Korean industries.
As you mentioned if Prabowo can get better deal with the Korean, that is also fine. As long as we can get into...
This was exactly the early step we went through when we started the C-212 at the end of 70's and early of 80's. We learned from Spain's CASA first on how to mastery the modern manufacturing technology for aircraft production. Then proceed on technology integration and co-development of CN-235...
