KRI Cobra

The KRI Cobra is a variant of the Sea Cobra Fast Attack Craft (FAC) operated by the Indonesian Navy (Tentara Nasional Indonesia Angkatan Laut, TNI-AL). The "KRI" prefix stands for "Kapal Republik Indonesia," meaning "Ship of the Republic of Indonesia."

These vessels are primarily designed for coastal patrol, anti-surface warfare, and maritime security operations. They are typically armed with anti-ship missiles, guns, and other defensive systems, making them capable of engaging a range of maritime threats. The specific armament and sensor suites may vary depending on the particular vessel and any modernization programs it has undergone.

The Sea Cobra FACs, including the KRI Cobra, represent an important component of the Indonesian Navy's efforts to safeguard its extensive archipelago and maritime borders. They contribute to maintaining a naval presence in strategically important areas and deterring illegal activities at sea. Information on the specific pennant numbers and technical specifications of individual KRI Cobra vessels can often be found in reputable naval registers and defense publications. The class represents a locally produced variant, often based on imported designs or components, adapted to meet the specific operational requirements of the Indonesian Navy.
