‘During the two-day visit, Le Drian also met with Indonesia’s Defence Minister Prabowo Subianto, who leads Jakarta’s ongoing negotiations for the acquisition of 36 Rafale fighter jets, but no deal was announced.
**Jakarta has also shown interest in procuring submarines,** corvettes and other military equipment as tensions with Beijing continue to simmer.’
*Hon Hons* whilst salivating.
Interresting, but this is just wishfull thinking. Now need to see if Indonesia realy goes threw this or is just using France to get a better deal from the US.
