Indonesia mulls submarine purchase
JAKARTA (AFP): Indonesia is considering to buy submarines from Russia, South
Korea and China under a plan to acquire 12 of them before 2024, the navy said
Wednesday.
"We have received offers from several countries, including Russia. If we can
buy them at cheaper prices, why not? We don't want to depend on one country,"
said navy spokesman First AdmiralMalik Yusuf.
South Korea and China have also made similar offers, he said. Malik said
Indonesia's capability to defend its waters remained weak due to a lack of
submarines, frigates and corvettes. The navy currently operates two German-made
submarines.
President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono plans to visit Russia in June to discuss
defence cooperation and the purchase of more Sukhoi fighter jets from Moscow.
The country has four Sukhoi jets bought by the previous administration.
Indonesia embarked on a hunt for new arms suppliers after the United States
imposed restrictions on military sales and cooperation due to concerns about
rights abuses committed by theIndonesian armed forces in East Timor in 1991.
The United States, eager for Indonesia's assistance in the "war on terror",
lifted the arms restrictions and resumed full military ties last November. (**)
