let me be honest, never put all of your eggs in one basket unless you already can build it yourself (including the subcomponent and critical technologies) just like what the Turk did with their MILGEM project right now. Indonesia and UK, historically had been engage in open conflict (and the...

Type 26? No thanks, they are quite expensive far more than FREMM of any variants
Type 31 aka AH140 is one of the most reasonable in term of prices
FFM 30 is too reasonably much more fit in our wallet
Deep down, Indonesia is very sensitive about prices and financing term though
To be honest, the French Scorpene is not giving much edge toward our competitor in the region (well our aim should be Australian and China) , if we can get something like Soryu class then it would be better. Or else going up toward Baracuda SSN is more better. (Though i don't think we are ready...
Frenchi lately got bitter and histerical, after they lost opportunity in Indonesia (Italian FREMM debut worth five Billion US Dollar) , now they are looking their old good rival the UK with their cousin country US grab the Australian Submarine Mega deal (well Australian is UK and US protege in...
Italian Frigates, English (Danish) Frigates and hopefully Japanese Frigates deal soon

So far how those had been achieved? Are they are truly indigenous Made in Indonesia and Not some Shady rebranding practices? And how can you be so sure those purchasing is not in order to acquire new capability or some offset to get new technical know how or leeway urgently needed by our Defense...
Two Boats would be build completely in Turkey with all in specification if the contract being awarded before this financial year ended. Wish it can be materialized soon, it is so naive if they think those sub par combat fast boat can be compared to other product overseas, they need a hard SLAP...
There is another option beside the US VLS system (MK41 and Mk48 vls along with the Raytheon Standard Missiles series and ESSM) , Euro Slyver with their Aster series and CAMM Missiles or MICA, there is Ukhomto from South Africa, South Korean K VLS with their K SAM, Russian system (i don't have...
