This is wrong 403 has fired Black Shark torpedo a few years ago.The most obvious one is they never launch their black shark torpedoes until now. That is a huge red flag.
NG offer is more promising I guess, With RDTE of lithium-ion, Indonesian capability & knowledge of submarine development will be further advanced.I think the point is Lithium-ion posibility vs proven AIP here.
Does Navy has AIP supporting facilities?
Do we want to spend money on it?
Don't fall for a fancy article written from a single perspective.Anyway ASW assets needs to expanded greatly. We can't stop submarines engaged in innocent passage yes, but we should have prepare and be ready to blow up every submarines from both sides when it suits our interests.
sea water is a good radioactive material shielding, USS Thresher and K-8 are still there somewhere deep in the atlantic, yet no party wanted to retrieve it because it does not worth it...We should made it clear that if there is any sunken nuclear powered/armed submarine in Indonesian waters it should be lifted and retrieved from the seabed and moved to other country, if the owner of the submarine refuses then we can approach their rival country.
I don't care if they say that there is already mechanism on board that will prevent the radio active materials leaks, it should be removed.

If the involved country said that then we can say, Its MY territory and My rules. You don't want to retrieve it then let me contact your rival.sea water is a good radioactive material shielding, USS Thresher and K-8 are still there somewhere deep in the atlantic, yet no party wanted to retrieve it because it does not worth it...
Hopefully if they buy Scorpene,also buy the itar free torpedoe launched scalp navalIs ITAR free such a big advantage in submarine case?
how many U214 will be made in Indonesia for usd 2.1 bil?
Reiss class for reference
The First Reis Class Type 214 AIP Submarine of the Turkish Navy Begins Sea Trials
TCG PIRI REIS (S-330), the first submarine built under the New Type Submarine Project (YTDP) initiated by the SSB and TKMS, has begun sea trials.www.overtdefense.com
€2.06 bil for 6 sub
It should be super u214, if it priced at 1 bil each. On the pros ALRI could get 2 sub at once.In the video the guy is kinda suggesting that TKMS would also build two subs (one at their site, one at PT PAL).
Lol, they changed from CBG to Scorpene.Naval group is too strong
