Republikorp clearly the main Indonesian MIC that going to get most of defense JV with Turkiye (on Private sector). It is been shown in IndoDefence that Republikorp will work on two SSM with Roketsan, Atmaca which is similar class with Exocet MM40 and Cakir which is in the class C705.

Seems the progress of reverse engineering C705 as National Missile program, not progressing much. Thus Cakir license production just like C705 will be aim to be operate from Fast Missile Boats. While Exocet MM40 and Atmaca will be for Corvette and Frigate types.
Big chance that the C705-copy program is not just progressing slowly or put on hold, but is totally cancelled at all, and that only a handful of missiles are bought for the first two ships of the KCR-60 Sampari Class.

Btw, it is really got that the four Claud Jones destroyer-escorts were taken out if service many years ago (if i am not wrong around 2003). They were not only old, worn out and obsolete, but also full of asbest.

TNI-AL FB page put video of UK CSG transiting Indonesia waters from Australia to East Asia. Following the CSG is one of Sigma 10514 light frigate. If not mistaken, this ship also involved with Talisman Sabre exercise.

Seems the video taken from TNI-AL CN-235 MPA.

@Sandhi Yudha it is very probable the C705 reverse engineering project being hold, however from what I gather it is still nominally open project. From what I gather, they still having trouble to achieve stable guidance systems. Perhaps working with Roketsan also include off set for guidance system.
