The # 35 is coming from Frenchie Salesman video. Take that with salt as he has shown wrong several times when talking outside French-Euro deal. He is not in the inner circle of US deal. However AAV7 ex USMC has been in discussion for few years since the time Andika Prakarsa still TNI Chief.
His talk on US G to G has no brokerage or middle man also not entirely true. We see that in the case of AH-64 and F-16, eventough has to admit the role of middle man is not as substantial as other supplier procurement.
The difference from what i see is not due to G to G, but more to financing. Middleman in other supplier procurement is also heavily involve on arranging financing scheme. This matter especially if the exporting/supplier nation has dificulties providing export financing on their own. Thus brokerage usually engage with arranging financing scheme between Financial Institution so the Supplier can have working capital to build and Buyer can have the financing scheme that fits on their budgetary cash flow.
US has already have and establish intitution for financing scheme on defense export or military surplus scheme. Thus the need for Brokerage to arrange financing is reduce. However does not mean diminish, as we see on the case of AH-64E procurement. Example related to financing on shore projects at buyers infrastructur or other supporting projects or other financing that not directly related to main asset procurement. Thus G to G again still can open to additional commercial financing. Still using commercial financing is not means potential corruption. Corruption can only prevented by proper financial control and not type of procurement agreement or financing.
Frenchie salesman know well on this, but he try to sell the idea to public if buying G to G from US or Western Euro sources, the need for brokerage diminish, thus also corruption. However this is not true, and guys like him just try to smeer procurement from his competitors that relies more on commercial financing scheme.
Anyway there's talk that KRI Sriwijaya will be classified as Amphibious Transport Asset and not Carrier. Thus it will not prefix '1' but '5' as hull number. Thus Garibaldi 551 number can be use, instead change it to 100.
