I would love to see an Aircraft carrier with Indonesian flag, someday
Catobar or Stobar?
we are lucky enough if we can have some LHD by now....
i think a step to have an Aircraft carrier with all those gas turbine / nuclear powered, arresting wires and ext is to big for countries like Indonesia.....

the way i see it, for now i think it would be great to have an LHD that big and qualified to support F35....
something like this but better

OR we follow the Turks path, only use helicopter and ucav, no need to be bigger but need a ski jump.

sound good, do TNI consider those UAV would be enough to support their mission?
UAV cant perform deep strike mission as good as a strike fighter, it can but take way longer time to get there and of course less payload and bla blabla....
well, i prefer something like ROKS Marado

UCAV only for marine supporting role or limited surveilance role..for what you said, still need air craft carrier with those jet fighters

The name is Bung Karno, so vessel of the class would probably has "Bung" before the name like Bung Hatta, Bung Tomo, etc. KRI Sukarno may be used for a larger vessel.

Don't know maybe just some special issue, you know Megawati want some legacy from the current admin....

If Prabowo won the election next year, maybe he Will endorse an LHD as KRI Soeharto
