Good news are still coming in.

Any hints about Y 9 in S'pore Air Show?
View attachment 452252

we need transport planes more and 5 of current Y-8 fleet is not enough to carry for operation. in my personal view, the Y-9 is the best fit for lacking spaces of our fleet.abundant of spare parts and low maintenance and facility cost as it inherent most parts of Y-8. there is also a rumour to buy Y-9 at 2016 but it's not solid yet. bro. so i wont be surprised if China and Myanmar announced the deal to buy Y-9 this year.

I heard that Y 9 was already in the 2016-17 proposed budget. Unfortunately the budget was cut by 10%. So we had to postpone the planned acquisition.
After the crash of Y8F200, Y 9 is back on track again.

Indonesia's LPD ?
i'm sure that our C in C know weakness of our navy and he will try to get LPDs or LSTs in any possible ways within 5 years. may be after a couple of 135m frigates. but i dont have much hope for Indonesia's LPD due to sanction and current affairs. probably partner with China or Russia for local built.

i think we should go first to LSTs as LPDs are expensive for us and we dont have significant naval air wings to operate them fully functional. Constructing LST wont be difficult if we partner with China and we already experienced in building naval ships. having a couple of this will give us better logistic support to our remote islands.
a variant of type 72A would be good choice.

yes. i hope a deal of Y-9Es in this year. if we want our air borne units deployments during the operation effectively , we need more.only 5 is not enough.

No That is Singapore Landing Platform Helicopter (LPH) or Landing Helicopter Assault (LHA), we have own concept of this.

PT PAL Helicopter Carrier

star 50

comparing to the Singapore Endurance-160 class

wow.when that LPH project will start or it's on-going project ? bro

i think indonesia is the only country who can balance on both military and economy in ASEAN.

ASW Package for Vietnam and Myanmar

look nice.!! bro
what is LWTTL ?

 

[Svantana]

Dont know yet. But according media release information about projection navy procurement armament in 2023. Indonesian navy should have at least 4 LPH/LHD, 4 destroyer, and 26 frigate. LPH class will be named after the great maritime kingdom of Indonesia in past, such as Majapahit class or sriwijaya class etc

The PT.Pal LPH, still lack of amphibiuos capability compare to Singapore LPH design... PT.Pal LPH concept cannot deploy amphibious vehicle that LPD has.

 

[NEKONEKO]

at least 4 LPH/LHD, 4 destroyer, and 26 frigate

Highly unlikely
Ngimpinya ketinggian banget
In the next 5 years i dont think that indonesia will have LPH/LHD but we can expect a few number of new lpd, no destroyer, 2 or 3 frigate and 1- 2 new subs
maybe myanmar want to become launch costumer for the PAL LPH?
or just LHD/LST

Thanks to steady growth of Indonesia's economy and strong defence industries ,
Indo can get them within next decade.

i think PT PAL focus on maritime strike more as they also have many LPDs which can deploy amphibious force. PT PAL design can carry more helis ( 6 units onboard and 10 in hunger ) while SG design have only 5.

i'm sure Myanmar wanted PT PAL's LPD since 2 years ago. we can not move forward due to sanction. as soon as sanction is lifted Myanmar will become second operator of PT PAL's LPD after Philippine. bro

If you think Su 30SME is a big deal for MAF, there will be a more bigger deal for MN soon.
