Main problem with USA is that its fickle as hell. Every new president might as well be a new king.That is exactly what I was talking about. OMT (Odense Maritime Technology) business model is build upon licensing build (they even clearly stated this in their website), and Damen Shipyard could also play the same business model. The competition between Damen vs OMT for Heavy Frigate / Light Destroyer program is going to be real tight. Although I personally still prefer Iver Huitfeldt-class, the design really corresponding to Indonesia philosophy of nyicil & ngelelesi
Why would US denying Indonesia to purchase any of their MOTS products / services?! The way I see it, the whole narrative of US denying Indonesia purchase of their MOTS products / services were mostly created by some European, Russian, or China sales rep
From US perspective (Trump administration) as long we have the money, they have the goods #MAGA
The Iranian deal that Trump just shat on comes to mind. The only 'Allies' the USA has consistently treated well is Saudi Arabia since they are both it's biggest supplier of oil as well as a huge military importer, and Israel, which is its biggest donator of campaign funds and also a major weapons importer.
Indonesia is really neither. Our entire reason for spreading out defence imports around were because the American embargoed us repeatedly.
