After recently losing a submarine, Indonesia's navy is hoping to increase its submarine fleet from 12 to as many as 36 boats. Companies from South Korea, France, Russia, and Turkey have all offered designs, and Japanese firms may as well.
The US and China both have their eyes on a country at the heart of the Indo-Pacific
Straddling the Indian and Pacific oceans, Indonesia is in some ways "the soft underbelly of this most crucial region right now," one expert said.www.businessinsider.com
Typo?
Numbers, numbers and numbers. I don't know if it's a typo, but 36 sounds too good to be true. I'll be a happy bunny if we can reach the target of 12 subs. Twice than that, I'll be like a happy bunny in deep slumber with ecstatic dreams.After recently losing a submarine, Indonesia's navy is hoping to increase its submarine fleet from 12 to as many as 36 boats.

Typo?
that's just too much, even Japan that have technological expertise to build one each year only employ 22 and some of them are being phased out to training duties
18 maybe okay (6 for each Koarmada) but 36 is just like stocking for spare part cannibalization
Because there is no further explanation in the article, the 36 number is really baffling. If its is not a typo or misunderstanding of the writer, then 36 is for OEF (Optimum Essential Force)? Where did the writer even get the info? There is no such news or info before.Numbers, numbers and numbers. I don't know if it's a typo, but 36 sounds too good to be true.

But 36?
The target of having 12 submarine is the minimum number (MEF) or the total in all?36 is too far off, only tier one countries can afford to operated and maintain such number for peace time ops tempo, not even India and Japan can do.
A26 back then?SAAB try to offer their sub
Yeah did they also try to compete against France, Germany etc?A26 back then?
A26 back then?
Ocean going a26 looks cool tho with and equipped with vls. Its not operated yet, swedish navy wants to buy 2 units.
The risk is more greater compared to acquire U214 or Scorpene, maturity, learning phase (from where our sailor would get trained ?) and foolproof design
Yeah both scorpene and u214 "laris manis" used by many navies.maturity
Yes please,Soryu be an option
