if the UAE LPD contract push through, assuming roughly that PT.PAL may overwhelmed with the order from philippinese and UAE.

Will government provide another massive amount of PMN for PT.PAL to procure/lease/or even build a wholly new shipyard.

or will they split and divide the task for some of the ship module to other private domestic shipyard etc:
1.DRU build the middle section of hull.
2.Batamec build the stern.
3.Palindo build the superstructure.

and then bring all the module with floating dock/semi-submersible heavy lift vessels (do we even had such thing?) and assemble all that in PT.PAL facility ?

Granted, I know nothing about barrel machining. But I can't help but wonder, aren't they a little bit too big for 12.7 mm? 20 mm perhaps?

DAHANA Holds Soft Launching Loitering Munition Named Rajata

Rajata has the potential to be used in all TNI defense dimensions, such as the use by land troops platoons at every Indonesian border, on ships belonging to the Indonesian Navy, or on Indonesian Air Force aircraft as weapons.

Rajata will later compete with other Loitering Munitions, such as Russia's Kalashnikov, Polish Warmate, American Switchblade, and Israel's Hero-30. The name Rajata itself is taken from Sanskrit which means destroyer, according to the abilities possessed by this Loitering Munition.

There are a few things that I really want to know about this:

1. Is this a self-initiative project from Dahana or that is this also involve other defense SOEs? Judging from the article, I only see Balitbang Kemhan and Pussenif AD, so...
2. How does this project fit into a larger picture that is DEFEND ID if a state-owned explosives company can build its own complete package of a loitering munition? Does that mean, say, PT PAL can build a ship-based UAV without involving PTDI and PT LEN? Or that PTDI launching its own USV?
3. Since there's no word regarding its adoption by TNI-AD - in fact, it was said in the article that Rajata is positioned to compete with other loitering munitions from abroad - will this end up like most other domestic defense projects? If there's no commitment to adopt it and to further develop Rajata to at least on-par with other similar systems from abroad, then this is only a waste of time, money, and resources.

Where is optical for targeting?

Where is optical for targeting?

Tactical Mata Batin ...
I think there is none yet,
The thing bear resemblance with another prototype target drone "Jalak" , which doesnt have optical.
