if there's something that indonesia can seriously reap benefit from czech cooperation , that should be a tatra truck for TNI standarized military truck , but japanese auto company may probably upset with such case and try to intervene with political backing .
They don't even need political backing when Japanese trucks and their spareparts are practically everywhere in this country. While Tatra trucks are good and have some interesting features, but they just can't beat that ease of maintenance and parts availability in here.

Soryu is equipped with Li-on or Aip ? Is it the same class that being offered to Australian Gov by Jap back then?
The version that was offered to RAN was the AIP version. The Li-ion is recent development

Dump Scorpene and U214 plan, buy 12 Soryu instead.
Wani ngutangi piro❓

Err, what? Aren't those Gundams are still in the talks?

I'm so out of the loop here. Care to enlighten me a bit more, please?
IIRC those Gundam are part of different project is it not❔

That's what I know as well. But I haven't heard any signing about them yet.
If it is, then could please someone prepare a champagne?
Beer?
No?

Ok, ice tea then. 😋

didn't this tatra truck use much out of the shelf component? it use Renault engine and ZF Friedrichshafen transmission.

maybe we can ask them to help develop the chassis but using engine/gearbox that were more common here, i.e. Japanese

Looks like France is very upset with Italy. They were totally surprised by the Italian deal. Lol.

The thunderclap of Fincantieri in Indonesia strongly shakes France

The slap is enormous for the French export team. Especially since nobody saw it coming.

Will Naval Group's FDI sink Fincantieri's FREMM? (Credits: Naval Group)

Fincantieri's mega-hit in Indonesia announced a week ago is making waves in France. Waves in depth for the moment even if a few bubbles rise to the surface as the great disappointment on Franco-Italian cooperation expressed by the General Delegate for Armaments (DGA) Joël Barre during his hearing at the National Assembly no open to the press. It must be said that the importance of thej contract of 4.1 billion euros (six Italian FREMM frigates and the modernization and sale of two Maestrale frigates), rightly calls out in France at the time when the charge of the Lorient shipyard to Naval Group is not insured for the moment beyond 2028 (after the end of the construction of the five FDI frigates for the French Navy). And this especially since this contract is already in force, according to certain sources from La Tribune.

A lot of questions


Within Naval Group, which has not submitted offers, according to corroborating sources, and within the ministry, the announcement of the contract by Fincantieri surprised many and must have been difficult to digest. It also refers Naval Group and the government to its desire to engage in European cooperation at all costs, and particularly in the naval sector with Fincantieri within Naviris, the joint company specializing in surface vessels. The Indonesian contract of the Italian shipyard is therefore a huge slap in the face for France, which today feels betrayed by its partner. Perhaps out of naivety, the France team however gave the stick to be beaten.

Also, several questions arise after this huge French disappointment: why Naval Group did not submit an offer? What role did Naviris play in this offer? Why were the French so surprised by this announcement? Are the Italians reliable partners within Naviris? While the Italians, who have therefore sold six FREMMs to Indonesia, offer this type of frigates in Greece, Egypt and Saudi Arabia, why has France preferred the FDI to the FREMM?

Naval Group in Indonesia

In Indonesia, the French naval group has somewhat abandoned the surface ship campaigns launched by the Indonesian navy in favor of the prospect of submarines considered more strategic and, perhaps more affordable. It is a choice that was made several years ago by the former CEO Hervé Guillou, then continued by Pierre Eric Pommellet. Other sources believe that Naval Group was even prevented from submitting an offer due to secret agreements between Naval Group and Fincantieri, which shared the world commercially at the time of the creation of Naviris. In this context, Indonesia as well as the Philippines would have been "reserved" for Italian. This agreement did exist, according to a source familiar with the matter, but was torn apart by the blows of a penknife given by Fincantieri in countries "reserved" for Naval Group (Greece, Saudi Arabia and Egypt).

Was it Fincantieri or Naviris, which brought the Italian offer to Indonesia? The sale of the six Italian FREMMs is, according to our information, a project carried commercially by Fincantieri and carried on the political level by a state-to-state market. On the other hand, there is doubt about the renovation of the Maestrale, which could be carried out within the framework of the joint venture between Fincantieri and Naval Group. In any case, in France nobody saw anything coming. Neither the State, nor the intelligence services, nor Naval Group and nor Thales, whose Dutch subsidiary is nevertheless very present in Indonesia. Fincantieri negotiated to the end quietly in the greatest secrecy with Jakarta, where the announcement of the contract with Fincantieri is also making waves. Question: Weren't the compliance services too zealous in blindfolding and covering the ears of France in Indonesia, and more generally in the world?

So the great game by Italy, they already secured American deals for over 12 sample of Constelation class, 2 Bergaminni class to Egypt and now this six FREMM to Indonesia. At other hand, France only secured some Corvette deals in Malaysia and Egypt with far less value

kinda remind me with the south korean intelligence incident in seoul hotel , are this kind of practice is common though ?


Industry and defense related matter ones espionage is very very common

Member of such delegation negotiation teams is privy to VVIP security level of protection from their original country. Some big multinational companies prefer to hired profesional team which had more discreet and work "ethic" compared to country intelligent services

i believe La Tribune "certain" sources is quite trusted and so far their news is quite accurate and to the point.

Btw, so far our own MoD is keep their lips very close and very limited sources or their own stories we can get from them. It is as if the deal at this scale means little for them

They bring this case into senate hearing in less than week since announcement and no less than head of DGA being summoned. You can see the depth of upset they are bearing, especially in case of economy difficulty like now
