Indonesia decided to buy Russian submarines

Indonesia is ready to order submarines in Russia, the head of the Indonesian defense department, Riamizard Riachuda, told MPs. About this with reference to Tass writes Rossiyskaya Gazeta.

“New purchases are approved by the president. It is better to purchase five new submarines than ten used ones, ”the minister said, noting that the Russian Federation is the most likely supplier of submarines.

"Russian submarines can be under water longer and deeper than the rest," said Riachuda.

What kind of submarines we are talking about is not specified. However, in October 2014, the head of the Ministry of Industry of the Russian Federation Denis Manturov reported that Indonesians are considering the possibility of purchasing submarines of the 636 Varshavyanka project.

The newspaper also recalls that Indonesia recently decided to replace American fighters with Russian Su-35. “Now the fighter jets of production of the USA, China and Russia are in the arsenal of the republic,” told Riachuda. “The choice of Russian Su-35 is related to the fact that Russian fighters have a simpler maintenance process.”

The Minister noted that the aircraft will be acquired in stages, "based on the financial capabilities of the state."

For the cruiser it is to Ukraine. They are just 90% ready-made missile cruiser of the Atlant project, which rusts near the outfitting wall in Nikolaev, and are ready to sell to anyone. Although recently they shouted that "Ukraine" is not for sale. The name will probably change.

They took it right off the tongue ... And will this construction not go to the detriment of the Russian Navy?

[Stirbjorn]

Varshavyanka? On the Admiralteyskys of course! Their hand is already full, for 2 years they manage. They are now successfully building both for the Black Sea Fleet and for Vietnam. In 2016, they will start a couple more for Algeria. Do not worry, everyone will be happy - the project has been completed, there should not be any problems. Not all oil and gas are exported

The arms business is the most profitable of the legal ones. It would be unprofitable - they would not build. There used to be: 1 submarine sold abroad * brought * 1 "free" (off-budget) submarine for our Navy. The money from the sale of 1 inoPL was enough to build both boats.

[Stirbjorn]

This is not what I said)

Alexander, you’ll tell us everything now, so foreigners will start to calculate the cost price and drop the price. :)

[aleks 62 next]

.... Do not worry, everyone will be happy - the project is worked out, there should not be any problems ....

... The question is not whether they can or cannot .... Are there free construction capacities .... As far as I know, they are riveting for the Black Sea Fleet at the Admiralty ....

[Andrey NM]

In the east, it would be to fire up the construction of ships and submarines. After all, he built Komsomolsk-on-Amur even the 667th "bukakhs", in Nizhny Novgorod they built diesel engines and nuclear torpedo ships, but not simple ones, of the 945th project ...

In the Far East, they are normally going to turn around like that - Sechin will pour more money into the shipyard, well, this is in addition to Admiralteyskoye and Sormovo. But the news is pleasant.

[Denis_469]

You can safely forget about the Far East. The only 636 under construction there will be ready, God willing, by 2020. Sormovo cannot be connected due to the lack of floating docks for transporting boats from there. Before 2025, the 199th plant would not be able to begin mass production of submarines. And pouring money there is useless.

[Mama_Cholli]

Arms export is good! Anyway, better than exporting raw materials ...

[Engineer]

Of course, weapons are high-tech production.

[Raptor_RB]

Indonesia is the most powerful potential ally in the region! The huge, just huge Muslim population is better to tidy to their side as soon as possible until the State Department is concerned about this.
Yes, and there are some good islands, impressive) Maybe the allies will get a discount))

[Evgeniy667b]

This is when they became an ally? When Sukarno were a little bit, and then the nose was turned away. Where you sit down, you get down. Islands with cannibals !!! It makes no difference to whom to eat, an ally or an evil enemy.

[Corsair0304]

Why not. In the ratio of price-quality-modernity, our "Varshavyanka" are in first place in their niche.
But shipyards, shipyards ... Their congestion cannot fully ensure all demand. If anyone has information on this topic - share it.

[maxim1987]

Quote: Corsair0304

But shipyards, shipyards

can Red Sormovo strain

[Denis_469]

You can’t strain them. For transportation from there, floating docks are needed. And without them in any way. The floating docks of the USSR were cut after the collapse of the USSR so that Russia could not build submarines there. And now submarines cannot be delivered from there in any way. For this reason, the plant is not used for their construction.

[Engineer]

This is much better news than about Kaliningrad corvettes!

[silver_roman]

"Russian submarines can be under water longer and deeper than the rest," said Riachuda.

even though I am a fan of our weapons, but for the same Germans and the Dutch, the submarines already come with VNEU (non-volatile power plants - anaerobic), which I certainly can stay under water for longer than 636, because they do not need to pop up to recharge the batteries.
We also saw on the Lada VNEU, but the fliers are silent about this.

[DenZ]

I doubt that the Germans will sell Indonesia the Germans will sell the boat with VNEU and even if they sell the issue of price here is also not the last for Indonesia (as is clear from the text of the news).

[Boa kaa]

Quote: silver_roman

for the same Germans and like the Dutch, submarines already go with VNEU (non-volatile power plants - anaerobic)

It's true. But! The Germans no longer know what to do with the high cost of servicing their nuclear submarines. The Hindus wanted to buy a "pack" (6 pieces) of the Scorpien submarine (Fr). But when they found out, "skoko" would have to "hang in grams" for them - they were very depressed and so far paid only 2 units. Indonesia in terms of its economic opportunities is not the FRG or even India. Therefore, they write that under other conditions, maintenance of 636 pr. Is cheaper. They know how to count money.

[Denis_469]

The Germans have the quality of submarines limping on both legs. Well, not high-quality weapons at the same time. Plus the lag in technology from us. Holland has not been building anything for a long time. And now she can’t build it herself. Since the design school has been lost, as well as specialists in the issuance of technical specifications and design. As for VNEU - so Japan has already abandoned it at the last type of its pl. VNEU turned out to be useless for conditions close to combat.

[Rurikovich]

Well, a normal example. The country purchases weapons based on its performance characteristics and operation.
Unlike the same Indians who themselves do not know what they want Arms are gathered from all over the world, and then chukh turnip, how to organize logistics for the maintenance and supply of spare parts ...

[Arktidianets]

It looks like there is a need to strengthen the fleet, especially since the Indonesian Navy has only 2 diesel submarines of the project 209 of the Cakra type, which will turn 35 next year.

Red Sormovo needs to be connected. Although everything is probably ruined there ?!

[Stirbjorn]

According to Varshavyanki such a list to date
For China 10 built;
For Vietnam, 4 are built, 2 are under construction;
For Algeria, 2 are built, 2 will be built in 2016 (the contract is signed);
For the Black Sea Fleet, 3 are built, 3 are under construction, and ours began to be ordered later than all.
Good advertising came out to our shipbuilders, it is not for nothing that the Indonesians are now seriously interested.

[Raptor_RB]

Thanks for the statue. I wanted to find out how many exported it was, I wanted to google in the end of watching comments, and you saved it. THX!

I'll just give you an example of Uralvagonzavod. During the Soviet era, this tank plant produced up to 1000 tanks a month. If some workshops were in desolation, now, in connection with the upcoming mass production of the T-14 tank and other armored vehicles based on the "Armata", everything is probably being rebuilt and modernized.
Smart entrepreneurs invest considerable money in expanding and modernizing production, and not just in their pocket, because future profits are many times greater than the immediate ones.

I completely agree ... However, in reality, there is a predominance of lovers of momentary profit, rather than working in the sweat of the face to expand production and make profit insure ... Many people want a lot today, but it doesn’t happen ... And if it happens, it’s only in dishonest trade, but by no means in production ...

[shelva]

It's nice to read the news about the expansion of the Russian arms market. It is much more enjoyable to trade in weapons than to purchase, falling into dependence on unfriendly suppliers. Let's hope that the "mistrals" will not happen again.

"What kind of submarines we are talking about is not specified." - have not decided there yet. Initially, they wanted to buy from us 10 old boats of project 877 from our fleet. But the day before yesterday at a meeting, the military proved to the President of Indonesia that 5 new boats would be better for the same money. Then the pilots came out and said that they needed money for new aircraft. To which the president replied that there are already enough planes, and that rubbish in the submarine fleet that is and will need to be supplemented with quality boats from Russia. Trash is 2 available 209 and 3 under construction are the same. These are completely outdated submarines. Now Indonesians are deciding what to buy. Initially, they wanted boats of the 636M project, but now they are looking at the possibility of buying a 677E.
"However, in October 2014, the head of the Ministry of Industry of the Russian Federation, Denis Manturov, reported that the Indonesians are considering the possibility of purchasing Project 636 Varshavyanka submarines." - you can not listen to this. At that time, Russia did not sell anything else, and now the 677E is being launched for export.
The main advantage in the procurement of our boats and the rejection of further purchases of western boats was the qualitative superiority of Russian submarines in armament. So the Indonesians want to buy the whole range of missiles for submarines: anti-ship, cruise and anti-submarine. Nobody in the world provides such a thing to them except China. But Indonesians have bad relations with China.

[Jan Ivanov]

The guys in Indonesia taste good: only the best))

[Denis_469]

No, it’s not about taste. The fact is that there is no one else to buy from. They ordered 3 in South Korea only because in Germany itself no one can already build these boats and guarantee the quality of their construction. Therefore, the Germans handed over all the blueprints to South Korea and they began to build them themselves. More precisely, boat blocks are built in Germany by sections and then those sections are sent to South Korea. Since Germany is not responsible for the build quality. In Germany, the opportunity to manufacture hull sections with machine-building precision has been lost. Therefore, the sections made in Germany are sent to South Korea for completion there and subsequent docking.

[ayuric]

there will be advertising for our submarines when Vietnam begins training in new Warsaw towns, and this is not far off, the east will be eyeing it.

[Aleksey_K]

Off the coast of Indonesia is the Strait of Malacca, which, along with the Suez and Panama Canals, is one of the most important sea lanes. This is the main route connecting the Indian Ocean with the Pacific, through which communication is carried out between the most important states of the world - China, Japan, India and Indonesia. About 50 thousand vessels pass through the strait annually, with a quarter of the total maritime turnover and oil transportation, and this turnover is constantly growing.
In the Phillips Canal area off the coast of Singapore, with a length of 805 kilometers, the width of the strait is only 2,5 kilometers - this is the bottleneck on transportation routes.
It would be nice to make friends with Indonesia and build a couple of military bases on the shores of the Strait of Malacca and begin to control the movement of all ships, especially paying attention to the military of potential enemies.
On the southern shores of Indonesia there is a wider strait between Indonesia and Australia. And it would not hurt to have a couple of larger military bases with the goal of material and technical support for the future South Ocean Fleet.
It’s time to block at least these transport arteries to the Americans.
And it is time for Australia to start spending money on the arms race, otherwise they are pouring mud on us, it is time to be responsible for the "bazaar", let them cut down all social programs and see what the population revolt and the fall in the exchange rate of their currency is.

Already responsible for the bazaar. The order for 12 new boats has already increased to 20 billion US dollars - but they cannot buy anywhere else. This is the price of 1 future diesel engine for more than 1 billion US dollars. Which is 3 times more than the usual price of diesel engines.

[Roman 1977]

Well, it looks like the Indonesians decided to buy Varshavyanka pr. 636, this is certainly good, but until we bring to mind pr. 677 Lada with an anaerobic installation, we cannot offer anything else ...
Navy Indonesia:
-2 The Cakra-type diesel-electric submarines of the German 209 1981 project were built, upgraded in South Korea in the 2004-2006, the planned purchase of 2018 submarines from the South Korean 3 advanced project of South Korean-built 214.

-6 Ahmad Yani Class frigates, former Dutch Van Speijk, built in 1965-1967, transferred to the Indonesian Navy in 1986-1989. One of them, Oswald Siahaan (w / n 354), has 4 launchers of our supersonic 3M55E Yakhont anti-ship missile system.

To replace them, it is planned to build 6 frigates of the Dutch project Sigma 10514. The first was laid in January 2014, the launch is planned in 2016, the transfer of the Navy in 2017.
-3 corvette type Bung Tomo. Originally built the Navy of Brunei. However, although all three ships with a full tonnage of 1940 tons were completed in 2003-2004, the Bruneian side refused to accept them, arguing that the conditions of the technical task were not fulfilled (in fact, for financial reasons). Finally, after the trial, in June 2007, the parties reached an agreement on the formal adoption of these corvettes by Brunei, followed by immediate resale to a third country. For six years, corvettes defended in England, while Brunei tried to find a buyer for them. Ultimately, in November 2012, a memorandum on the acquisition of these three corvettes was signed by the Indonesian Navy. The contract worth 385 million was allegedly finalized by Indonesia at the end of 2013 and June-August 2014. The corvettes were transferred to the Indonesian Navy. Before the transfer of Indonesia, the ships underwent a partial modernization, in particular replacing the outdated Seawolf SAM with a new MBDA VL MICA complex.
-4 Corvette Diponegoro type Dutch project Sigma 9113
-3 corvette type Fatahillah 1977-1979 gg. Dutch built
-16 patrol ships (corvettes) such as Kapitan Patimura, such as Parchim built by the former GDR, are similar to our IPC Ave 133.1 on the BF. Sold in 1992 year. Some of them are re-armed with the Chinese 30-mm seven-barreled anti-aircraft artillery complex type 730.
- 21 rocket boat of Indonesian construction (another 4 project of Klewang is being built)
- 44 artillery boats
- 2 minesweeper French project Tripartite
- 9 minesweepers pr. 89.2 (Kondor) former NNA GDR
Amphibious forces
4 amphibious assault ship-dock-type Makassar-South Korean project. The first is built in South Korea, 3 rest in Indonesia.
7 TDK Indonesian built
5 TDK type Tacoma American built during the Second World War
12 SDK type Frosch, built by the GDR (project 108), 13 were purchased in total, but one KRI Teluk Peleng was sunk on November 18, 2013 during the test of the Yakhont anti-ship missile system.

So, Russia is slowly "squeezing" from the United States its right to "big geopolitics", there is weapons, there is energy, somewhere is finance, while softly not intrusive, and the result even the most "blinkered" are slowly turning towards Russia, which can be said well, very polite people, Russians.
