South Korea is seeking a deal to trade its 1300 tonne diesel-electric attack submarines for Indonesian-built patrol aircraft.

Military officials say the deal will be discussed when arms procurement officials from the two nations meet in Jakarta next week.

However they are declining to confirm local media reports that the two nations would sign a memorandum of understanding on a one-billion-dollar deal to trade two South Korean submarines for eight Indonesian-built CN-235s.
