Anything would be better than buying the BTR-4. If I remember correctly, I think it was Algeria that bought a batch of BTR-4 recently and it was a horror story, they want to return them. A domestic APC where Indonesia has full control over what is buying and can make sure about the quality that...

Yes, I know Australian shipyards are quite expensive, that was quite an issue during the selection of the submarines, even the Australian prime minister initially wanted the subs to be foreign built because of that reason but in the end had to back down because of pressure from the workers...

You are right, just 3 billion, ahh...... little money. Oh could you please transfer me a few millions? I need some pocket money for the weekend; thanks bro. :partay: Now seriously, the Hobart class is the Spanish F-100 class Álvaro de Bazán. I understand that building under license will be more...
