Italy's Ministry of Defence submitted a proposal to transfer the decommissioned Garibaldi aircraft carrier to Indonesia's Ministry of Defence, enhancing the Indonesian Navy's capabilities. This includes a contract for six DGK compact submarines from DRASS, worth approximately $1.4 billion, with the first tranche valued at $480 million for two submarines plus support and training.

Indonesia will be the launch customer for the new submarines, which have advanced underwater warfare capabilities. Furthermore, Italy plans to supply three maritime patrol aircraft and has signed a letter of intent for M-346F aircraft delivery to Indonesia, valued at around €600 million.
