My mistake, that pic is photoshopped^^ I don't think that is an Indonesian submarine.
Interesting, while FREMM in terms of armament are comparable to PKR SIGMA, KDX also offered? which KDX version? KDX ll or KDX lll? if this true, that'll be a hell of competition with Iver Huitfeld.Italian ship, FREMM had been offered to Indonesian Navy, as such there is three contender for the next Indonesian Navy Frigate programme, Itver Huitveld Class from Denmark, FREMM from France/Italy consortium, and KDX programme from South Korean.
for future surface combatant, TNI-AL should now focus to acquire vessel comparable with Hobart AWD.
I'd say its (current)armament are comparable, Sigma is 12x MICA VLS and 8 Exocet while FREMM(italian variant) is 16x Aster 15 VLS with 8 Otomat SSM.FREMM is heavy frigate bordering destroyer, not comparable to SIGMA. My mind tricked me previously, when comparing SIGMA and FREMM. It's MEKO that comparable to SIGMA.

For radar and displacement, FREMM definetly outgun Sigma with their SELEX ES AESA radar, and FREMM has greater displacement, making it easy to configure it from current frigate form into fully armed destroyer.

But i don't know if European contractors are TOT-friendly so i thought the major competitor will be Iver and KDX ones.
