Indonesia assents plan to fund carrier acquisition with foreign loans

Indonesia's Ministry of National Development Planning (BAPPENAS) has assented to plans for the country to fund the acquisition of an ex-Italian Navy aircraft carrier...

This is already circulating in Indonesian enthusiast forum for two days. Now Jane's pick it up the copy of document from Bappenas Credit Allocation allotment. This is not done deal yet, as has to go to MoF where finance guys make final assessment and also negotiate with Financial Institution on credit financing term. If they don't get the deal, and credit line allotment must be back to drawing board.

Basically Bappenas agree for USD 450 budget for taking over Garibaldi which Fincatieri according to their source agree to refurbished toward TNI-AL specs. Bappenas also agree for finance package for both Transport and Utilities/Specialist helicopters. Speculation talk about Bell that id front runner with 412 and UH-1Z. Alltough it is also rumours the utility going to be more for anti submarine.

Either way the usage for Garibaldi if being procure is not for VTOL Fighter carrier, but more as Helicopter assault and drone carrier.

There are only 11 AS565s in the airfleet on TNI-AL, the NAS332 is taken out of service, and if i'm not wrong there are only 3 NBell 412SP helicopters left over. So the Indonesian government also needs to get a budget to order also a large amount of helicopters, at least a dozen. Without those helicopters the whole acquisition of the Guiseppe Garibaldi is pointless, unless they want to turn it into an UCAV-carrier the coming years.

Full version of Jane's article also talk that the budget for Garibaldi is also accompany by budget for Transport Helicopter (USD 250 mio) and Utilities Helicopter (USD 300 mio).

The Carrier plan to hold two functions, Amphibious Commando Carrier, and UCAV/Drones Carrier. The package with Fincantieri also include their refurbished work to upgrade Garibaldi toward specs that TNI-AL aim. This Carrier will be the proof of concept platform in my opinion for TNI-AL to operate both function.

Last weekend, TNI conducting public day that show case their equipment existing and new for open public in Jakarta main square. This in conjuction to their 80th aniversary.

There are photos already circulate within Indonesian enthusiats forums, and I put few of them that shown of new missiles models that has not been included on previous years TNI public days. Ussualy the missiles being shown means already in inventory or already contracted.

Plans to develop an amphibious version of the N219 already appeared in 2017 (post #977).
I am still very skeptical (post #3067) that the development of this version can be finished before 2040, if it ever becomes reality.
