So it seems the BT-3F order is still on hold. Hopefully Indonesia can get more BMP-3F. The war in Ukraine can slow down the livery, and we still have CAATSA.


KRI Nala (363) and Tripartite-class minehunters KRI Pulau Rengat (711) & KRI Pulau Rupat (712) at PAL. These ships are not that old, compared to some other ships in our fleet, so their operational life can be extended by 10 or more years. It is nice to see the Signaal WM28 is still on top of Nala.

You beat me on this. From what I heard it is already, as it is similar situation with PPA. They take two that already slotted for Turkiye Navy. However just like PPA I suspect they are still some administrative portion (government portion) that need to be sort out.

CAATSA aside, I have a lot of doubt about Russia being able to fulfill any of those orders within a reasonable timeframe. They are still having issues replenishing stocks for combat needs in Ukraine, even with an increase in workers, working hours, and tooling. Fulfilling orders for Indonesia is going to take hulls that they need for use in Ukraine.

And if Marine Corps officials insist, I have my suspicions that it has more to do with kickbacks than an actual capability need.
