DTN News - INDONESIA DEFENSE NEWS: South Korea Appears Closer To Indonesia Submarine Export Deal

DTN News - INDONESIA DEFENSE NEWS: South Korea Appears Closer To Indonesia Submarine Export Deal
(NSI News Source Info) TORONTO, Canada - August 31, 2011: South Korean Defense Minister Kim Kwan-jin is to visit Indonesia early next month to seal a US$1 billion deal that would result in South Korea's first submarine exports. If the deal is secured, Daewoo Shipbuilding and Marine, which is likely to be chosen as the preferred bidder by the Indonesian government, will sign a memorandum of understanding to sell three 1,400-ton submarines to the Southeast Asian country, ministry officials said.
Kim will accompany nine Korean defense contractors, including Daewoo, from Sept. 7 to Sept. 9 and hold talks with his Indonesian counterpart, Purnomo Yusgiantoro, on the country's modernization project for its naval fleet.
The US$1.08 billion submarine acquisition program, regarded as a goldmine for defense contractors, brought about a fierce bidding war in which Daewoo reportedly beat German and French firms.
“The Type 209 submarine, which the Indonesian government is willing to purchase, was first developed by the Germans in the early 1970s and Korea bought the technology license to produce it in the beginning stage. France is well-known for its welding techniques. The fact that Korea has beaten such strong rivals in the preferred bidder race is significant in that the country will join the ranks of submarine exporters. It also will brighten the prospect of selling more subs to other East Asian nations,” the JoongAng Ilbo newspaper quoted a defense industry official as saying.
The submarine deal would further boost the bilateral defense industry cooperation, following on from a contract to export South Korea's trainer jets to Indonesia.
Korea and Indonesia have expanded defense exchanges since President Lee Myung-bak and Indonesian President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono agreed last year to collaborate on development of defense technologies involving tanks, trainer jets and submarines.
On Aug. 1, South Korea and Indonesia began their joint technological research to develop new fighter jets in accordance with their agreement signed in April. The project is aimed at replacing aging fighter jets such as the F-4 and F-5 with high-tech combat aircraft. After the mass production of the fighter jets begins, Indonesia is to purchase some 50 units.
In May, the Korea Aerospace Industries agreed a deal to export South Korea's T-50 Golden Eagle supersonic trainer jets to the archipelagic country. In April, Indonesia selected South Korea as the preferred bidder for its jet trainer project and the two nations have been in negotiations on price and other considerations. A final deal will allow South Korea to export its T-50 Golden Eagle supersonic trainer jets for the first time.

DTN News - HUNGARY DEFENSE NEWS: Hungary Puts Russian-Made Fighter Jets Up For Sale

DTN News - HUNGARY DEFENSE NEWS: Hungary Puts Russian-Made Fighter Jets Up For Sale(NSI News Source Info) TORONTO, Canada - August 31, 2011: Hungary’s government has decided that it would part with the 24 planes to raise cash after they were retired from active duty.
The deadline for bids for the first stage of the sales involving eight planes and 20 thrusters is Sept. 15. The jets will be sold off in a one-round public tender to be concluded in October.
The MIG jets were designed by Soviet Union-based airplane factory Mikoyan and entered service in 1983. They’re widely used short-range fighters, originally developed to counter advanced models in the U.S. Air Force, such as F-15 or F-16. Mikoyan has since been merged into JSC United Aircraft Corporation, publicly traded in Russia, with the government retaining a majority stake.
Hungary received 28 MIG-29s in 1993 as debt compensation from Russia. The planes soon became local pilots’ favorites due to excellent maneuverability, which allowed the likes of Peter Kovacs, Gyula Vari and Zoltan Szabo to win world championship titles for flying them.
However, there were also downsides. MIGs are well-known for their high maintenance costs and high fuel consumption. Some planes in the fleet actually had to be salvaged in order to get spare parts to repair the others.
Also, when Hungary became a member of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization, or NATO in 1999, it became apparent that there would be compatibility issues. Instead of trying to prolong the MIGs’ lifespan and upgrading their systems, the government decided to replace them with Gripens manufactured by Sweden’s Saab.
If you can fork out at least 3.46 billion forints ($18.3 million), the minimum amount the ministry would accept for the package, you’re good to try. The deals are subject to the manufacturer’s approval.
