It was reported in Indonesian mainstream medias that the Indonesian Navy or locally known as TNI-AL will conduct a series of Live Firing Exercise (LFE) on Wednesday 20th April at 1000 local time.
The LFE will be conducted somewhere in the areas of Selat Sunda and Indian Ocean and will involve the firing of YAKHONT and EXOCET MM40 anti-ship missiles, MISTRAL and SEA CAT anti-air missiles as well as SUT torpedo.
The firing of MM40 and MISTRAL will be done by the SIGMA Class Corvette (KRI HASANUDDIN) whereas the firing of YAKHONT and SEA CAT will be done by an AHMAD YANI Class Frigate (KRI KAREL SATSUITUBUN) and the firing of SUT Torpedo will be done by the submarine KRI CAKRA.
It is highly believed that the firing by the corvette is part of Contractual trials whereas the firing of YAKHONT by the frigate is part of its post modernisation trial.
Whatever it is, we wish them good luck!
