New Recruit
Anyone wan't to make SWAG as to what in the sideline agenda of this "cooperation"?
My guess is this "cooperation" would include something coming from Damen Shipyard (as in either De Zeven Provinciën-class or Crossover 139-class) in return for Nederland lobbying for Indonesia interest in EU (especially for Indonesia CPO)
Crossover ?
Crossover is neither a kind of heavy frigate nor destroyer.
If we want heavy frigate or destroyer, we better choose DZP or Iver.
From lower cost acquisition point of view, we better choose Iver than DZP.
Crossover is a kind of Absalon class (albeit more advance)
First and foremost IMO Iver Huitfeldt-class is better option for TNI-AL due for it having similar design & construction philosophy to Indonesia (nyicil) and also it's future proof because it's was designed & constructed just like LEGO (which coincidently were also a Danish product)
Lesser known fact of how Odense shipyard (at the time) build the Iver Huitfeldt-class is they outsource the modules to Eastern European shipyard thus getting lower price compare to building the modules domestically, and since Danish Navy is the one whose doing system integration themselves (not Odense shipyard or any contractor) they managed to reduce the cost between $60million - $80million. Moreover Iver-class armaments start with only 4x Mk41 VLS module (32 cells), they only added the Mk56 VLS module and CIWS (Millennium Gun) after the vessel had operational for nearly 2 years. If the Iver-class were to build domestically in Danmark than the estimate cost would be over $1 billion which is similar to the price of De Zeven Provinciën-class that were build domestically in Nederland.
If De Zeven Provinciën-class could be build in Indonesia using similar approach as the Iver Huitfeldt-class than the price would be roughly similar. And I believe this particular selling point is currently being pushed by Nederland to offer the vessel class.
What if we buy license only to build in Indonesia ? I am sure it will be cheaper than to build in eastern europe.
While Danish will supply the standflex module and all necessary equipment like Mk41 and Mk56 VLS Modules thru US. Or if US reject to supply, we should ask France or Britain to provide VLS.
