I agree, this is reasonable and perhaps inline with the commitment couple of Japan automative industries to invest here as well as counter trade balance. I really dont see anyone putting their used 214 up for sale, for 209 there are some possibilities. Soryu class is nice, the transition otw to IOC would be painful and I hope it doesnt come with japanese advanced Panci . Used 209 would make the transition to IOC and involvement of PT.Pal for refit/refurbish become more clearer. Tho between those two my ego lean toward Soryu. Anyway who knows with the help of TKMS we could find good used 209/214, we need sea denial capability and submarine is perfect for it.Suryo or Oyasuek is more reasonably, as they look at surface displacement weight around 2800 tonnes
I hope atleast they will kept the strales, milas missile and netuno ecm for ID. Btw thats a good looking Sigma with steroids. And lool at the lockheed lcs, why they put a lot of manned machine gun . Escpecially when the ship speeding at 30++kntspeaking of fremm, apparently according to the latest naval news video, we'll be getting the ASW version?
from 0:58 to 1:20
Different design philosophy. Furthermore, you only need those machine guns at low speed. Above 12 kts you ought to use other weapon (preferably a guided one)And lool at the lockheed lcs, why they put a lot of manned machine gun . Escpecially when the ship speeding at 30++knt
After Nanggala case, i would prefer for TNI AL to stay out of Nuclear powered Submarine which needed more rigorous discipline for most of the time of their operational and at docks which something TNI AL and MoD doesn't have at the moment.

I wonder why we didnt pursue the french aip? Not proven yet?Lithium-ion battery powered Scorpene.
There is no requirement for it. Besides, why bother with the complexity of AIP when replacing the conventional battery with Li-ion battery could provide higher energy densityI wonder why we didnt pursue the french aip? Not proven yet?
I assume its because the cost but mostly the operational requirement. AIP is expensive and the official published operational requirement I know that standout from other "regular" sub is the ability to fire Missiles. That makes the AIP being put into nice to have thing. The pre-emptive doctrine we try to implement is a work in progress, once the passive defence part is mostly done (MEF Program) then perhaps we can start thinking of having AIP and other more advance electronic device for non defensive purpose such as nguping negara tetanggaI wonder why we didnt pursue the french aip?

How about Japanese submarine other than soryu class.
The oldest is launched in 96 the newest in 2008, definitely not that old.Oyashio-class submarine - Wikipedia
en.wikipedia.org
will be retired gradually. and it's relatively young
yes the thing is Japan MSDF requirement for attack subs are 22, if they had more than that they'll retire the boats , either they're new or old.The oldest is launched in 96 the newest in 2008, definitely not that old.
So this mean they treat us if we dont choose their equipment (radar, cms etc) ?
