In 2006, Agence France-Presse reported that Indonesia was contemplating buying a total of 12 submarines from Russia, South Korea, or China. Owing largely to budgetary constraints, these procurements did not materialize; nevertheless, officials from TNI-AL continue to express aspirations for a large submarine fleet.
