I have a question, you say the hull is build in batam and the installation is done in Germany. How do they transport the hull to Germany? Isnt that kinda dangerous to tow over such a long distance or is it transported on a bigger ship?

It's onboard a Rolldock semi-submersible heavy-lift ship.

TNI-AL official channel provide video on one of DSME 1400 (209 Derivatives). This is first time on my knowledge that TNI-AL make video dedicated to shown operational of one of their Submarine. Previously they only shown glimpse of interior.

Still not clear if Indonesia still want to continue the program for DSME 1400 second batch, or only move with to build license production with Naval Group on Scorpene NG. The strategy to fasten submarine build up so far that already being talk by MinDef sources:

• Underlicense Production (Scorpene NG),
• Continue Industrial Collaboration (other word on Final assembly with some modules done by overseas yard) with DSME (Hanwha Ocean) for 209-1400 batch 2,
• Procure Second Hand Submarine as interim ones,
• Procure Full Import submarine from overseas yard.

The first one is confirm ongoing project, the second one is not clear continuation of batch 2. At this moment all 3 batch 1 209-1400 being upgrade by PAL and Hanwha Ocean to rectifies the electrical problems and battery problems. Thus 2nd strategy seems will depend on the batch 1 retrofitting project result.

The 3rd and 4th ones being talk, but still under speculation. Potentially the 4th one will not be taken, but 3rd ones has more noises and rumours going to be decided soon. But thing can changes if Indonesia MinDef decide not going to continue batch 2 with Hanwha Ocean. It is possible even the number of Midget Submarine project with Italian DRASS can be increase to augment 209-1400 as litoral submarine project. In short asside #1 of Scorpene License Building, all other strategy still fluid.

TAIS Signs $1 Billion Frigate Agreement with Qatar's Barzan Holdings for Indonesia - Naval News

Turkish shipbuilding consortium TAIS signed an agreement with Qatar's Barzan Holdings for two frigates at the DIMDEX 2026 exhibition in Doha, valued at approximately $1 billion USD. The vessels are intended for the Indonesian Navy (TNI AL).

www.navalnews.com

Further info on TAIS and Bazan deal for two I Class (Istiff Class) Frigate. As mention before the end user will be TNI-AL, and Bazan act as Financier on credit line to Indonesia MinDef as procurer. Three way unusual deals being choose, as most Western FI that usually use by Indonesia, don't want to provide acceptable financing cost for procuring defense assets from Turkiye.

The info talk that the sixth and eighth Milgem project ships (thus the second and fourth Istiff Frigates), that being build for Turkish Navy, going to be export to Indonesia. This means Indonesia taking Frigates that using Turkish Navy standard. Similar deal that Indonesia done on getting 2 PPA from Marina Militare.

All this as PAL shipyard busy finishing Arrowhead 140 frigates program, and other shipyards in Indonesia so far only building up to Corvette size vessels. Thus like in Submarine, Indonesia seems taking multiple strategy to get new vessels ASAP, while still keep maintaining local production.

Xavier more explanation on Istif Class Frigate deal as Naval News article yesterday. This Frigate sensors will be configurate similar with Aselsan sensors that already exported to Indonesia.

On other side, the loosing Frenchie Salesman keep bit**ing on Turkish procurement trend. He should be gratefull tough that the French-Italian do still get order from Indonesia. He just can not acccept that instead MBDA-Thales-Leonardo systems, Indonesia also have Roketsan-Aselsan-Havelsan systems. Just being greedy salesman.

Anyway I put his channel if there's further development on procurement from Euro Land. 2nd batch of PPA already being lobby by Leonardo for sometime. It is also known that Leonardo offer Full Combat version and also upgrade package on batch 1 Light + version. What his channel not mention yet whether Leonardo offer to build the second batch in Fincantieri partner yard in Batam will happen or not.
