Myanmar is definetly should acquire Makassar-class. Myanmar could approach Indonesia again to negotiate, since the sanctions imposed by UN on Myanmar has been eased, i'm pretty sure PT PAL would eager to export these to Myanmar.
Phillipines acquired two (hull only) for only ~USD$35 million (est), if you want full package with weapons and sensors included, the price still below ~US$70 million dollars each (est), a very attractive price indeed.
Or, if you can wait, PT PAL has already designed an improved, fatter, 150 meter version of Makassar which already being offered to Malaysia. If Malaysia did order, then PT PAL can proceed to build it, and thus it will be available for sale.
And, since we're under good relations, our govt are always open for negotiate
yes. i agreed..!! we should try Makassar-class again.. it's totally worth.. and it can be used in many roles.. hospital ships , troops and cargo carriers and command center etc.. but as u know , the sanction eased is not included the arms.. so the most possible we can get is the only hull.. if we can get them , we should order at least 2...

Myanmar in advanced negotiations to licence-build JF-17 fighter

After deciding to purchase 16 JF-17 Thunder multi-role combat aircraft in 2015, Myanmar is now in advanced negotiations with Pakistan to also licence-build the third-generation fighter, defence industry sources in Yangon and sources close to the Myanmar Air Force (MAF) told
Jane's in mid-January.
If an agreement is reached, Myanmar's bid to manufacture the single-engine combat aircraft - co-developed by the Pakistan Aeronautical Complex (PAC) and China's Chengdu Aerospace Corporation (CAC) - could mark a significant step forward in the country's efforts to expand its local defence industry.
As the MAF phases out its obsolete fleet of F-7M Airguard and A-5C 'Fantan' combat aircraft purchased from China in the 1990s, licensed production of the JF-17 Thunder would also mean that the aircraft will likely become the MAF's workhorse over the coming decades in much the same way as it has moved to prominence within the Pakistan Air Force (PAF).
At least 70 of the fighters are in service with the PAF, with the first ones having entered service in 2009. Expectations are that the PAF will induct up to 150 JF-17 Thunder fighters in the coming years.
The first of 16 imported JF-17s ordered by Myanmar are expected to go into service with the MAF later this year. Speaking on condition of anonymity, sources told
Jane's that these aircraft will be of the Block II variant, which was first rolled out from the PAC's Kamra plant in 2015 and which, unlike the Block I variant, features an air-to-air refuelling capability and improved avionics and electronics.
It is unclear whether later deliveries to the MAF will include the far more advanced Block III variant being produced at Kamra since last year. Sources told
Jane's that in the context of ongoing negotiations on licensed production,
Myanmar is seeking to produce the aircraft's Block III variant.
