The Indonesian Ministry of Defence (MOD) and the Indonesian Navy (TNI-AL) was reported to have been reconsidering their options to acquire submarines, despite already signing a contract with South Korea’s Daewoo Shipbuilding and Marine Engineering (DSME) in 2019.
IHS Jane’s reported that among the options being considered was terminating the contract with DSME, including cost and legal implications of such move.
The Indonesian government and DSME already signed a contract worth KRW1.162 trillion (US$900 million) on April 2019 to build a second batch of three (3) Improved Chang Bogo-class diesel electric attack submarines, which are based on the German-designed Type 209/1400 submarine.
The TNI-AL has acquired a first batch of three submarines from an earlier deal signed in 2011, which are now in service as the Nagapassa-class.
Early this year it was reported that the Indonesian MOD was considering an offer from the French government to supply submarines, corvettes and fighter aircraft to the Indonesian Armed Forces (TNI). France’s offer centered on the Naval Group’s Scorpene-class submarine.

ReplyDeleteAs an electrical engineering student, I enjoy assignments that allow me to apply classroom knowledge to realistic engineering situations. However, some topics require several stages of calculation, and missing one small detail can affect the final result. I find Electrical engineering assignment help online valuable when I need to review the correct process for approaching complicated technical questions. It can help me understand the sequence involved in analysing circuits, interpreting data, or explaining engineering principles. Another resource I consider useful is online assignment help UK because it can offer academic examples that encourage better organisation. I use such material mainly to improve my understanding, check my approach, and develop stronger independent study habits before completing coursework.
