@Jakartans@PkDef ,

Hi. Its a pleasure to meet you here in PDF, i have a question regarding the Indonesian Navy. Considering the size of the Republic of Indonesia -- a whopping 247 million ! -- is the Indonesian Navy going to advance priority to acquire destroyers for her navy? I notice that the Indonesian Navy has a plethora of frigates (sigma class and ahmad yani class), as well as corvettes, but no large capital ships. Do you see in the future or currently -- any plans for the Indonesian Navy to acquire destroyers, or do you think Indonesia is prioritizing smaller ships ino rder to properly cover her maritime domain?

Thanks!

Nice to meet you my friend, about the fleet configuration, so far there is no plan to have destroyer class ships in our arsenal. If there is Capital ship in our navy, it would be the LPD class ships to ensure our amphibious capability for force projection / deployment to our 18,000 islands.
Since our policy is to build strong green water navy, we are prioritizing in smaller size ships (corvettes or FAC's) to cover our territorial waters.

@Jakartans@PkDef ,

Thank you for your response. I agree with you that as right now it is important for the Indonesian Navy to further increase the amount of its surface fleet's number of frigates. And yes, with over 18,000 islands, your navy and coast guard have an impressive maritime domain responsibility.

Of course, even with the support of other government agency for maritime security such as the coast guard, maritime custom police, the Indonesian maritime police unit and harbor patrols we still need more to secure our territorial waters.
Just imagine have to watch an archipelago with 18,000 islands + EEZ with area wider than the whole Mediterannian Sea.

How many Attack Helicopters Indonesia has ?

Currently we have 8 Mi-35 Hind attack helo supported by numbers of rocket armed NBO-105, but we have 8 Apache Longbow on order.
So we will have combined US & Russian made attack helos on our arsenal.
