[edit] Indonesia considers C-802

Indonesia evaluates C-802 David C Isby Correspondent

Indonesia is considering arming its future quartet of Sigma-4-class missile frigates with Chinese-built C-802 anti-ship missiles.

The four warships, which are being constructed in the Netherlands, were originally planned to be armed with MBDA MM40 Exocets.

Problems with securing export approval for the frigates' Exocet MM40 anti-ship and Mistral surface-to-air missile armament have already been reported.

Indonesia is understood to have procured and evaluated a single C-802 system as part of a study of alternative anti-ship missiles.

While it seems unlikely that the Chinese missile will be adopted for the Sigma-4 class in place of the MM40, the C-802 is being considered along with other designs as a potential anti-ship weapon for future Indonesian surface-combatants.

The Indian-Russian BrahMos and the Russian Yakhont (SS-N-26) have also been identified as possible alternatives, along with a plan to procure more Exocets.
