TNI-AL - "Live Firing Exercise Was A Success"

Indonesian Navy (TNI-AL) Director of Communication released a statement that the Live Firing Exercise conducted in the morning of 20 Apr 2011 was a success climaxed by the YAKHONT missile launched from KRI OSWALD SIAHAAN frigate (as opposed to earlier report, KRI KAREL SATSUITUBUN) hit a de-commissioned LST target 250 km away.

Beside the YAKHONT, the Live Firing involved the launching of the followings:

• 
  
  An MM40 EXOCET from KRI SULTAN HASSANUDIN corvette


• 
  
  A MISTRAL anti air missile from KRI SULTAN HASSANUDIN corvette


• A SEA CAT anti air missile from KRI KAREL SATSUITUBUN frigate


• An SUT Heavyweight Torpedo from KRI CAKRA submarine


• An RBU 6000 anti submarine rocket from KRI CUK NYAT DIEN corvette

With the firepowers unleashed, it is no surprised if the target was sunk.

Unfortunately, there was no photos or videos released by Indonesian Navy of the target being hit by any of the above weapons.

Whatever it is, Congratulations to Indonesian Navy.
