The Merah Putih frigate will also function as an escort for aircraft carriers with the approval of the budget for the acquisition of the Garibaldi aircraft carrier from Italy...so it will not only guard the Straits of Malacca and Lombok. Indonesian MOD has agree to purchase Garibaldi class, less it means indonesia in the futures step by step will change their green water navy in to limited blue water navy. Additionally with having leonardo kronos radar and aster in Brawijaya class give indonesia limited anti balistic counter missile capability otherwise together with VDS on Martadinata class plus 64 cell MIdlas VLS on next Merah Putih class make indonesia have a complete stuffs to guard Garibaldi class in the future

>>64668862It's a Babcock design>>64668904On 16 September 2021, Babcock announced that it had signed an agreement with PT PAL Indonesia allowing it to design two AH140 derivatives for the Indonesian Navy.[65] The class are known locally as Fregat Merah Putih ("Red-White Frigate").[2] The first Red White frigate had its steel cut on 9 December 2022.[21]
Didn't an Indo company recently sign an agreement with Drass to produce midget subs for the Indo navy?
>>64669012>The class is fitted with a 16-cell vertical launching system (VLS) forward of the bridge, housing VL MICA surface-to-air missiles for all-weather 360-degree-engagement coverage against air threats, including saturation attacks. The Pinoy Government has said there looking at ordering another 2 and sent a notice of intention. The Pinoy Navy has improved so much by just getting Korea to build everything. I wish they could get the submarines they've been yearning for
