Buy from PT PAL but cannot lo, how can buy from indonesia, some will question??

Well obviously the highly professional general with 20 years experience the One who didn't want a simple brown water Navy equipment that the Gowind are design for. Probably because they don't want to be a brown water navy anymore kot?

The Gowind as its originally is, is probably what BNS & gov wanted. All The change afterwards be it's enlargements &  Exocet change to NSM is what RMN general wanted.  The program also stop because RMN refuse to sign off propulsion system installation probably because they wanted  a change in ESSM as well.

But the general desires isn't really unreasonable. The increase in size, NSM doesn't really changed the price too much compared to what Egyptian are paying in USD nor is the ESSM installation by UAE which about the same price as other gowind in USD.

Your RM goes GG is the primary reason for the cost increase. It's the government fault for relying too much on oil revenue. But they do that because their rakyat aren't bright in understanding basic economy and thus super kedekut in paying taxes & super addicted to subsidies

The desire to satisfied these not too bright citizen is the reason why mat sabun unable to makes any decisions resulting in current 4 years delay.

Also understand what TLDM is expecting of the LMS batch 2 and Kedah batch 2. The TLDM requirements for these ships are underwhelming when considering their cost.

BNS has shown the RLMS Concept based on the requirements requested by TLDM. Just 40mm gun. No missiles at all.



RLMS
More than 70m length
price same as current LMS RM262.5 million
40mm gun
helicopter
probably 2 containers under the helipad
speed 24 knots
range 2000 nm
.


Kedah Batch 2
What TLDM wants? Yes, just a plain OPV that should be the task of MMEA. How much does it cost? RM500 million or 128 million dollars each! The 1890 tonne 83m long Tun Fatimah class Damen OPVs are just RM246 million each. There are no FFBNW provisions, this is a pure OPV that will not be upgraded to a corvette.

You are selling BNS wet dream as official RMN policy.

Off course these are the kind of shitty ship that RMN would get if they allowed BNS a monopoly and what was  in the OG 1525.

Aren't you glad those general 'sabotage' BNS out of making anymore ship for RMN?

Integration is the key ....you can mix anything if you can make them integrated.
You have to make a bridge or adapter or modified the software to make things integrated.
Don't expect all parts in weapon system can be installed plug and play.
Integration is serious challenge.

Guess You can do almost everything if you throw enough money & time around. You can even buy a Russian jet with french avionics to drop american bombs.

It's up to individuals country to figure if the money, time, headaches & efforts Worth it.

Rp 75 milyar in 2012 or $5.2mn

Maybe around $6mn today

Target hit at 0:55

I must say overall there will be  no major upgrade capability until 2040-2050.
MY even must struggle to keep defence capability

Simple.

Pull all military man behind the territorial water and send in the coast guard to the Chinese.

Is NOT something he would likely says 🤣

Not at the expenses of their navy like you suggested.
