Instead of frigates, we use tanker to patrol the border, (i know i know because that ship is already prepared to be sailed and there is immediate call to go to the border) but i never heard any other navy to do the same, especially to guard and patrol the sea with a tanker, different doctrine, different condition, and different situation, ofcourse

Ofcourse, but every type of ships has it's own task and function, we can't always rely on tanker and other auxiliary ships to do this kind of mission, also we can't predict if something suddenly goes really bad, such as massive intrusion and ramming to other ship, like what happened with Viet Coast Guard couple years ago, it was lucky the one on deployment was a corvette, has it's own gun and stuff, but what if the one they rammed was this very tanker, we can't assure that it will return safe either.Navy already explained why they use oiler in Natuna: https://www.cnnindonesia.com/nasion...na-minim-armada-kurang-solar-hingga-kapal-tua
IMO, I don't really care for the type of ships used for peacetime ops like this as long as they can deliver results (continuous presence, etc)
That's why KRI Bontang is not the only warship that we deployed thereOfcourse, but every type of ships has it's own task and function, we can't always rely on tanker and other auxiliary ships to do this kind of mission, also we can't predict if something suddenly goes really bad, such as massive intrusion and ramming to other ship, like what happened with Viet Coast Guard couple years ago, it was lucky the one on deployment was a corvette, has it's own gun and stuff, but what if the one they rammed was this very tanker, we can't assure that it will return safe either.

What do you guys think?
How about replacing chinese weapon and cms with European or Turkish one?Type 056 is a mature design with internasional user around the world actually and China operated tonnes of them

My question is not about it's doable or not but are they planning for it?You can see Thailand actually can order new hull with European system and even put American weapon on their Naresuan class
