Indonesia: 'green water navy'

[Ananda]

The purchase of the Garibaldi may serve as a transitional step, allowing Indonesia to gain experience deploying these types of ships and using unmanned aerial vehicles from them. The tasks that Giuseppe Garibaldi can perform are also perfectly suited for helicopter carriers.

In a transitional role, the Garibaldi will provide the Indonesian Navy with valuable knowledge and experience that can be used to shape the design of helicopter carriers.

An Indonesian purchase of the ship and its conversion into a drone carrier points to a new maritime reality, where regional and medium-sized maritime nations are capable of operationally developing a drone carrier. Given the relatively new technology and working methods of drone ships, Indonesia would be at the forefront of maritime drone deployment with a ship like the Giuseppe Garibaldi and Bayraktar TB3 drones.

@Sandhi Yudha I put quote on the Dutch Article that you put, as it is summarise why TNI-AL and MinDef want to do with Garibaldi quite precise. It is to gain exposure and experience operating Drone and Commando Helicopter/Light Carrier.

As PAL claim to build their own LHD/Light Carrier, have to see the capabilities both their own and budgetary in supporting that claim. They claim they can begin two years from now, but I suspect only after present presidential term.

Got colleugue work in state owned Bank, handling State Own Shipyards. He says eventough PAL have better financial management then other state owned shipyards, but not so much. Their opex and capex still walking in thin ice, thus if they can build more frigates and LPD, it is actually already in the max of their reach within present production and cash flow capabilities. So if TNI-AL take Garibaldi, I sense it will be close to a decade before PAL can go ahead with their own LHD. Off course unless the government willing to inject much more capital to PAL.

Who knows maybe later they will claim that besides 324 mm and 533 mm launch, this 15 meter long UUV will also get VLS tubes for tactical ballistic missiles.

The irony is their own graphic shown the UUV only cam attach two external tubes for Light Torp. The size of tubes clearly not able to handle Heavy Torp or SSM.

Friend of mine send this, as this is part of Japan lobby to become supplier to Indonesia defense. Put it in this thread as again 'rumours' Japan try to match on China offer of 'interim' Destroyer and Frigates.

Sea acceptance test KRI HAJI FISABILILLAH opv 90 Meter.

Another video from FB on OPV90#1 KRI Haji Fisabilillah sea trial. This OPV like other Domestic build Corvette (like KRI Bung Hatta) most likely will have Roketsan Atmaca SSM and Shorad SAM, which is not clear yet which Shorad will be taken.

The Shorad SAM if using present TNI-AL standard, then it will be MBDA Mistral. However considering tendency for Roketsan getting traction in TNI missile procurement, potentially it can be Sungur Roketsan - SUNGUR Air Defence Missile System, which basically Roketsan answer for Mistral.

Considering that Roketsan already sign JV agreement with Republikorp to build missile assembly in Indonesia. Cakir, Atmaca and Sungut are some of missiles that the JV will assembly in Indonesia.

If this JV development come to smooth implementation, then much more likely Roketsan missiles can become standard in TNI. Something that Frenchie salesman keep yapping about on Turkification due to loosing sales. Looking to Indonesian enthusiasts forum, seems his public campaign against Turkification only results partial support.
