no, our admirals do not want their sailors suddenly expert in pole dance...Btw, ever wonder why India doesn't trying to offer their Destroyer to Indonesia? It is much more logical choice compared to trying to get Chinese one?

I think they would just let it be decommissioned soon, repair and upgrade cost would be inevitably high, and not worth for the limited budget that we now have.
MDCN? Or Sub launched exocet?French lobby is just too strong now and their proposal include sub launch missile.
Definitely Exocet for now but MDCN won't be that difficult to integrate into it right?MDCN? Or Sub launched exocet?

I wish they did.
There is maybe the matter of the Israeli radar + Barak 8 and Indonesia-Israel relations (which are still informal) maybe limiting how such systems can be exported or re-exported. MRSAM (improved Barak 8) is also a joint venture in the end with Israel, so they have IP share.
Making a more exportable version of this destroyer is not priority for India, given shipyards are stretched to capacity to begin with for local orders. Shipyards need more investment for expansion going forward.
A full ToT with say PAL shipyard (and say they customise as they want), that could be considered in interim I suppose.
But how would that stack with say proceeding with Mogami where Japan has good capacity + interest to export 4 and transfer ToT for Indonesia to build 4 after?
Does Indonesia want the extra tonnage (and I guess endurance) of destroyers in say 7500t class or is heavy frigate/destroyer in 5500t class etc a better fit for its strategic allocation going forward?
i.e was the Chinese (export) destroyer project a serious contender in the strategy to begin with? I am unfamiliar with many of these matters.
