TNI AL chief talk on potential the two Scorpene being build pararel one in NG facility and other in PAL facility. While PAL CEO so far still confidence that both can be build pararel in PAL facility. I believe what TNI-AL Chief talk, shown more realistic situation. First one should be better build in NG facility, use that as pattern for second one build in PAL. If second batch (rumours submarine #3&4) got contracted later on, then they can build in PAL as PAL already have learning curve.
Perhaps they (TNI-AL) want to make sure faster flows on building management on the submarine project.

At the same occasion, He also give signal on procuring China build equipment. This is actually something that being circulating before, especially Type 52D Destroyer. Eventough China try to bundle it with S26 Submarine, rumours that I heard, TNI-AL only interested with 52D Destroyer.
TNI-AL so far come to 2 batch on each type, they procuring 2 SIGMA 10514, then 2 FMP/Babcock Arrowhead, then 2 Fincantieri PPA, 2 scorpone Evo, now potentially 2 Type 52D. Supposedly those only first batches, but seems this 2 for each type batch not having info on additional batches. There's risk they are going to have multiple types only with one batch of 2 on every procurement practices. Will see how this develop.
