China is reportedly offering to sell Indonesia a half-built submarine originally ordered by Thailand, and claims it will include a German-made engine if that is what Jakarta wants.
The news was reported this week by Janes, an authoritative specialist in military, national security and transport topics.

The development comes despite claims by Thailand that the problem-plagued deal to acquire the Chinese submarine is back on track. Defence Minister Sutin Klungsang said in May that negotiations would take another one or two months to conclude.

Amid this high-stakes drama, there’s a subplot filled with legal maneuvering and international regulations. The switch from a German-made engine to a Chinese-made electric generator wasn’t merely a technical pivot, but a dance through legal frameworks and international treaties. The Council of State, the government’s legal arm, was summoned to interpret an amendment of the contract – a narrative twist that adds layers to this multidimensional tale.

The tale reaches its denouement with a touch of generosity from China. In lieu of compensation for the delayed construction, which could read like a monetary cliffhanger, China offered a submarine training simulator and some spare parts, adding an extra layer of camaraderie to this international endeavor.

This epic journey from diplomacy through to technological hurdles, and right down to adjustments amid global restrictions, encapsulates more than just the procurement of a submarine. It is a testament to the enduring spirit of collaboration, the relentless pursuit of technological advancement, and a shared vision for security and progress. As the Royal Thai Navy sets its sights on the horizon, one thing is clear – the S26T Yuan-class submarine isn’t just a vessel; it’s a symbol of aspirations, achievements, and the unwavering bond between Thailand and China.
