Indonesian Navy's newest patrol ship arrives in home waters

A combined diesel and gas turbine propulsion arrangement driving two controllable-pitch propellers will allow the PPA to reach a speed of 32 knots while low-speed sailings will utilise onboard electric motors, though the wave-piercing bow design helps reduce fuel consumption even at higher speeds.

The PPA is capable of dealing with surface, subsurface, and airborne threats thanks to the installation of 76mm and 127mm naval guns, 25mm close-in weapon systems, surface-to-air missiles, surface-to-surface missiles, and torpedoes.
