But no torpedo launchers?
That's what I am thinking, is there some indication of frequent submarine incursion in our water thus we need patrol ship that also able to monitor underwater activity?

Oh wait the chopper aboard should be the one doing torpedoing, ideally speaking...

What's the difference between OPV and OPV 90 ?
This is a guess. But I think the OPV 90 is designed by PT DRU, while the plain "OPV" could be PT PAL's design based on the Sampari-class FAC. The latter is 60 meters length though, so take this with a grain of 'ketumbar'.

Hence the TASS
Did You mean Variable Towed Array Sonar or Dipping Sonar?

I just thought OPV job is for patrol and scuring ZEE, not to hunt and enggage submarine 🤔

Submarine hunt task should be bear by purpouse-build vessel to maximize its capability. But dont worry tho, in above pict you will see a bulbous bow to be mounted a sonar.

Both 90 meter
What is the difference then? TNI AL order both OPV and OPV 90, 1 unit each from the same company.
Design and capabilities? Are they ordering both to test it out which one is the best?
But dont worry tho, in above pict you will see a bulbous bow to be mounted a sonar.
Those smoll bulbous bow? Doubt.

Nice pp btw.

VOC : I'll take your entire stock.

Good to see the OPV acquisition is ongoing, and now is in production stage.

@Madokafc is there target of how many unit will be bought or we will just go with the flow?

Just go with the wind, someone is just put a more larger and advanced design OPV proposal literally they can outgunned and outweight most of the heavily armed Frigates in the region (that's including Singapore Formidable) and still had the gall to put it under advanced OPV programme
