That's good, a good idea to be realized, ASTROS II with AV-TCM could act as both land attack artillery, and a dual function cruise missile platform for both land and naval target, only if we are interested in it's naval version, X-300 tho, nonetheless, it's perfect for Natuna. It's 300km range is quite good for the deal, it's speed is subsonic however at 0.85 Mach, but that's also very close to that of Tomahawk's.We do have a plan to station at least a battery size units of MLRS in Tanjung Datu, Natuna
Apparently your source article is written by an Army artillery general, i guess that adds a weight to the opinion?
i hoped for a bigger integrated force at Natuna tho, comprised of unit from all branches, Army, Navy (Marines) and Air Force, i think Natuna should be it's own thing and receive special attention from the government, kinda like the (future) "Pearl Harbor" of Indonesia, making Natuna a fortress will tremendously boost our power projection towards the northern border. But for that, i guess we should wait for MEF 3 or even up to 2030 for a real commitment towards Natuna's development.
