Russia May Offer Two Project 636 Subs to Indonesia
moscow : Russia
may offer two Project 636 non-nuclear submarines to Indonesia as an
alternative to South Korean submarines. This statement was made by
Victor Komardin, the Deputy Director General of Rosoboronexport and head
of the joint delegation of Rostec and Rosoboronexport at LIMA 2013.According to Mr. Komardin, the Indonesian Navy is already armed with two Project 209/1300 conventional submarines that have been selected on the basis of the tender results. The Republic of Korea, which had mastered the licensed production of the German Project 209 conventional submarines, was declared as a successful bidder at that time.
Today, the Indonesian Navy is interested in the additional purchase of two advanced Project 209 submarines from Seoul. However, Germany does not give permission to launch the licensed production of these submarines in South Korea. “If Seoul and Berlin are not able to agree on this issue, Rosoboronexport will have another chance to offer the Project 636 submarines to Jakarta,” Mr. Komardin emphasized.
