During IDEF 2017, the international defense exhibition held in Istanbul, Turkish company STM signed a LOI (letter of intent) with German Shipbuilding group ThyssenKrupp Marine Systems (TKMS).

Talking to Navy Recognition, an STM representative explained that the LOI calls for cooperation between the two companies on a potential contract to built three submarines for the Indonesia Navy (TNI AL). The first submarine would be built in Turkey and two more in Indonesia.
