Due to the war in Ukraine, Indonesia will buy Turkish ATMACA instead of Ukrainian "Neptune" - the media

Prior to the start of the full -scale war, Indonesia signed a memorandum with Ukrainian representatives on the intention of buying Ukrainian anti -ship missiles. Indonesia decided to buy 45 anti -ship missiles atmaca with a range of 220 km. About it reports Janes. Turkish anti -ship missiles are able to affect overwater targets within 220 km. Indonesia will become the first foreign customer of Turkish development.

The sources of the publication claim that the contract covers 45 missiles and an unnamed number of launches to them. Other details are not disclosed, but it is known that an agreement with the Indonesian side should sign PT Republik Defensindo. Defense Express added that earlier Indonesia considered the acquisition of Ukrainian anti -ship missiles "Neptune" with a range of 320 km. The special exporter of SE "Progress" has made a memorandum with Indonesia with intentions to buy RK-360 "NPTN".

The case did not come to signing the contract, because at that time the complex has not yet completed all the trials, and in the conditions of a full -scale war, Ukraine does not sell weapons abroad. Turkey has been developing ATMACA missiles since 2009. The first start was made in 2019. ADA Corvette can be the carrier of the rockets.
