A brief about Indonesian-made combat vehicle

There are several institutions that contributed in it, those are :

1. PT. DI (formerly IPTN)
2. PT. Sentra Surya Ekajaya (in cooperation with PT. DI)
3. PT. Pindad
4. Bengpus PAL TNI-AD
5. Marinir


PT. DI and PT Sentra Surya Ekajaya

PT. DI designed P2 KEV to respond requirement of local made Armored Personal Carrier (APC). Few Prototypes were built, but due to limitation of budget at that time it was impossible for PT DI to bring it to mass production.

http://i136.photobucket.com/albums/q189/darkpole/P2V1PTDI.gif

Therefore PT DI search for local counterpart which are willing to invest into this program. There was PT Sentra Surya Ekajaya, a company in west java who got interested to bring the prototype into mass production.
The PT. DI P2 KEV was then produced into at least 3 variants, which are :

1. P2 Komando

3. P2 APC Police
http://i136.photobucket.com/albums/q189/darkpole/P2-APC2.jpg

Im not sure wether this is P2 APC - Police or one made by PT Skunk Engineering Jakarta
http://i136.photobucket.com/albums/q189/darkpole/unknowAPC.jpg


They're also developing other special purpose vehicle , The P3 Ransus/Cheetah

PT. Pindad

APR (Angkut Personil Ringan) - Light Personel Carrier
During TNI Operation in Aceh, lots of TNI trucks were being ambushed by GAM. TNI asked Pindad to build a new vehicle that could give better protection to soldiers, cheap, easy to maintain and must be delivered into service in shortime after.

They soon came up with APR-1-V1, a 4-wheeled APC based from commercial Isuzu truck. With 4.570cc Diesel engine it produce 3.200 HP, It could carry up to 12 persons and speed up till max 100 kmh.

APR-1-V1

http://i136.photobucket.com/albums/q189/darkpole/big4012005.jpg

Pindad also made further variant of it called APR-2, but unluckily I couldn't find any info about it. I only got two pictures which I assumed to be APR-2, any info about it?

APR-2

http://i136.photobucket.com/albums/q189/darkpole/gbr1610.jpg

http://i136.photobucket.com/albums/q189/darkpole/rpp.jpg


APS (Angkut Personel Sedang) - Medium Personel Carrier
Pindad's further development is APS, base of APS is Texmaco 6 wheeled truck.
The vehicle's design was kinda unique since it has 2 sliding door on both side of vehicle along with one on its back. The vehicle was more like to be a military limo rather than a combat vehicle.
There were two variants made, the APS-1-V1 and APS it self. They basically the same, but APS has a single centered driver compartment and 2 sliding doors on it side.
Both variants could carry up to 13 personel, and it equipped with 12.7 caliber, AGL and possible 20 mm's.


APS1-V1

Prototype Panser 6x6

The new 6x6 panser is still in prototype, Pindad even havent got any name for it.
But surely the vehicle was designed as true panser since its no longer built from any commercial truck. It has monoqoque body with engine compartment linear to passanger cabin, which makes it fully upgradeable into full amphibious vehicle.
The engine is Texmaco 6.595 Turbo Diesel with 260-300 HP. Top speed about 115 kmh and could carry up to 13 fully equipped personels. It also has cupola on its top-side.
Two of the prototypes were broght to parade on TNI anniversary. And It seemed that the army already ordered 100 of them.

I think both images show the same vehicle, the RPP or RPP-1 (Ranpur Pengangkut Personil). The vehicle is based on a LandRover chassis and is powered by a 93hp Isuzu turbocharged diesel engine. There is also a 6x6 variant.

Edit: the vehicles are similar but not the same. The one in 4-colour camo is probably the RPP-1.

[calimero2]

APR-1-V1

Pindad also made further variant of it called APR-2, but unluckily I couldn't find any info about it.

I understand that the APR I-V1 is also called the APR Versi Polri (police?) while the APR II-V2 is the military model (Versi TNI).

[calimero2]

And yet another "Rantis":

Thanks calimero2,
I've search again and I've found that this APC is one that made by PT. Skunk Engineering Jakarta, It is based on Land Rover and I still havent know its name. hihihi.
Its been the rival for APR-1-V1

APS1-V1

I also read somewhere the designator APS2-V1. This might be either the one with the single cabin or maybe the VAB clone ("Panser 6x6").

Hi, I m new here. It s a very interesting site.

In fact, I would like to ask you a question. Do you have any information about details of Indonesian uniforms, especially the army?

For example, what are the colors of berets? The badges? The insignia of colours for the branches of service?

Thanks

[makavelli]

im not expert but ill try...
their uniform consist of colour from "murbei" tree.. colour that the most similar with the indonesian jungle..
they are produced in some cities such as Garut, Semarang, etc...
DPR or the parliamant rejected the digital camo because of the price and some other reason in early November. but some use it such as Kopassus, Marine, etc in special occasion.

ill leave the rest to the expert...

As long as I Know, TNI is the one who has most colorfull baret:

Switek, Makavelli, Aridharma, thanks for your information.

Yes, it's maybe the most colorful berets in the Asian armies.
If you agree, i would like to ask you a few more questions.

(1) except the berets, how the TNI does the distinction in its dress for the different branches of services? Metallic badges? Facing colours on the collar? Maybe some Dutch influences?!
(2) What about the Indonesian cavalry? is it simply called "cavalry"? Or are they different types of cavalry like in the European armies? What are the traditions of the Indonesian cavalry? And is it a famous branch in Indonesia?

Thanks for your time

Cheers mate. 6 years of studying the damn language finally paid off.p-)

Good for you mate ..
but its not a difficult language to learn ..
basically it is a language without a grammar.
Learning the people is a lot more difficult.
But I'll give you the credit for it... you've done well.

Here is a picture of Dutch holiday maker in Java who have adopted Indonesian/Javanese words into English, such as the word Amok come from Javanese word Amuk and Boogey Man actually derived from the words Orang Bugis who gave the Dutch a lot of sleepless nights in the Celebes (Sulawesi).

Nice pictures Silent! Makasih! Is the sniper a L96? Doesnt the Raiders use a different uniform( Daun Murbai camouflage)?

[Kopassus]

As long as I Know, TNI is the one who has most colorfull baret:
Red - Kopasus (special Forces)
Green - Kostrad (Rapid Reaction Forces / Airborne )
Orange - Paskhas (Air Force Special Operation Forces)
Violet - Marines
Blue - Military Police
Khaki - Artilery
Black - Cavalry

Standard Military camo is based on DPM except for the new 10 Ranger Battalions whom has localize ACUPAT, although almost every units has unofficial camo patterns.
Kopassus also uses often an other patern, with more red

[Kopassus]

For the coming years we have a budget of $3,7 Milyar for buying alutsista.
If you are the one that decide what wil be bought, what will you put on the orderlist?
This is my list:

TNI-AL
-2 x Amur 1450
-2 x Project 636
-Upgrade the SIGMA/Diponegoro-class with a better SAM(Seawolf) or CIWS (Goalkeeper)
Disnerbal
-8 x Super Lynx 300
-6 x CN235-220MPA
-Replace the 2 DHC-5 with N250-100

TNI-AD
-Replace all the Ferrets and Saracens with Panhard VBL and indigeneous armoured vehicles
Penerbad
-8 x Mi-17 and 3 x Mi-35P for Kopassus
-Replace the 3 DHC-5 with N250-100

TNI-AU
-6 x Su-30KI and 2 x Su-30MK for SkU11
-Upgrade our Su-27SKs to 30KI
-Replace the 7 F-27 with N250-100
-Some Jernas,2S6M Tunguska and Pantsir S1

I hope the $3,7 will be enough for this list.... :P

MBDA SIGNS INDUSTRIAL ACCORD WITH PT. PINDAD OF INDONESIA
11/30/2006

PindadMoU.doc



author : Eka Meiryawan
International missile systems company MBDA and Indonesia’s PT Pindad have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) under which the two companies will form an industrial partnership to market vehicle-mounted missile systems.

The two companies signed the MoU in the presence of the Indonesian State-Owned Enterprises Minister, Mr. Sugiharto, at an official signing ceremony held during the IndoDefence 2006 exhibition in Jakarta on the 23rd November 2006. State-owned PT. Pindad is Indonesia’s primary manufacturer of military equipment, industrial tools and machinery.

Under the MoU, MBDA and PT. Pindad will evaluate the integration of MBDA’s latest generation Mistral Atlas short-range air defence system on Pindad's Light Military Vehicle to fulfil the Indonesian Army’s requirement for a mobile, quick-reaction, vehicle-mounted missile system for protection against fast and highly manoeuvrable aerial targets. The MoU will pave the way for an industrial partnership under which PT. Pindad will also be able to expand into export markets as a supplier of vehicles for MBDA’s portfolio of vehicle-mounted missile systems.

Parminder Janjua, MBDA’s Regional Director, said: “MBDA is honoured to have this opportunity to join forces with PT. Pindad to ensure that Indonesia has the most advanced air defence capability for its army and potentially for other export countries. This partnership will provide Indonesia with the indigenous capability it needs for the through-life support of its in-service equipment as well as play a key role in the future development of this new vehicle-mounted air defence system”.

PT. Pindad’s CEO, said “We are delighted and proud to cooperate with MBDA, a company which has a vast capability and experience in missile systems. Hopefully, this cooperation will enrich the light military vehicle being produced by Pindad to support the Indonesian Armed Forces and for export as well. Furthermore, through this cooperation with MBDA, Indonesia and especially Pindad, can achieve the technology transfer providing the capability to improve tactical military vehicles designed to carry missiles for the next generation”.

Pindad’s vehicle is a four-wheeled light military vehicle with a gross weight of less than four tonnes, measuring 4.5 meters in length, 1.6 meters in width, and 1.8 meters in height. It is powered by a four cylinder diesel engine and equipped with power steering.

MBDA’s Mistral ATLAS has been designed to offer mobility, flexibility, high fire-power and autonomy to Mistral Air Defence units. Atlas is a twin-launcher, fitted with two ready-to-fire missiles and can be installed on a wide range of vehicles. It takes less than five seconds to make the system operational and two missiles can be fired in less than five seconds. Both launchers are fitted with a 4th generation IR thermal sight which allows for detection of aerial targets at ranges in excess of 10km.

Atlas fires the Mistral 2 short-range (up to 6.5 km) surface-to-air missile capable of intercepting a wide variety of aerial targets including those with even a low infrared signature. It is characterised by an outstanding success rate (93% from more than 2500 live firings), a high effectiveness against manoeuvring targets, and has demonstrated its capabilities against fixed-wing aircraft, nap-of-the-earth helicopters, unmanned aerial vehicles, cruise missiles as well as moving land vehicles and FIAC at sea.

Mistral has already been in service for more than ten years with the Indonesian Navy and has been recently confirmed as key weapon system for the new corvette programme. MISTRAL has either been selected or is already in service with the armed forces of 26 countries.

Notes to editors

With an annual turnover exceeding €3,5 billion, a forward order book of over €14 billion and over 70 customers worldwide, MBDA is a world leading, global missile systems company. MBDA currently has 45 missile system and countermeasure programmes in operational service and has proven its ability as prime contractor to head major multi-national projects. MBDA is jointly owned by BAE SYSTEMS (37.5%), EADS (37.5%) and FINMECCANICA (25%).

why replacing the Panhard VBL ? N250 - 100 ??? I thought PT DI is not able to produce them ?

[Kopassus]

No, replacing the Ferrets and Saracens with the Panhard VBL and P2 Komando.
IPTN is able to make the N250. The first and second prototype have flown, but the program is on hold. With a $3,7 milyar budget we can use a litlle part of it into this program.

Itis a Yugoslav made triple 20mm AAG called M-55B3.
A B4 version exists with an italian GALILEO P56 sight.

Thanks Ronguild!

Itis a Yugoslav made triple 20mm AAG called M-55B3.

Which in turn is a licensed Hispano-Suiza HS-804.

[flanker7]

Itis a Yugoslav made triple 20mm AAG called M-55B3.
A B4 version exists with an italian GALILEO P56 sight.
We have some of them! Simple gun and effective, mostly against ground targets nowadays

[Dark Avenger]

But woe betide the helicopter that is unlucky enough to find itself sitting square in the sights of the M55.

[flanker7]

Yes, compined the 3 guns together have a large rate of fire which shaturates the target area. Very impressive during night fire

[Dark Avenger]

A long time ago I found this (small unfortunately) pic of an Indonesian M55B3 on a Mercedes truck.

Government Prepares to Purchase Missiles for Sukhoi Fighters
Friday, 16 December, 2005 | 09:17 WIB

TEMPO Interactive, Jakarta:The Indonesian department of defense is currently processing the purchase of weapons for four Sukhoi fighter planes made by Russia.

These planes, owned by the Air Force, are not yet in service.

Rear Admiral Yuwendi, director general for defense planning at the department of defense, said on Wednesday (14/12) that the weapons to be purchased from Russia included cruise missiles, medium-range missiles and short-range missiles.

“We hope that by the middle of 2006, these weapons for the Sukhoi planes will all have arrived,” stated Yuwendi.

He admitted that he did not remember the price of these weapons.

However, for this recent purchase the department of defense disbursed some Rp28.8 billion for part of the weapons system.

“The point is that by the middle of next year, our Sukhoi fighters will be real fighter planes,” said Yuwendi.

He also said separately that the department of defense, the Indonesian Military (TNI) headquarters (HQ) and the Indonesian Air Force (TNI) Navy had reviewed the plan to purchase the equipment.

This took place following the United States’ lifting of its military embargo against Indonesia.

The Indonesian Army and the Indonesian Navy also have proposals to purchase equipment from the USA.

The Army has proposed the purchase of spare parts and weapons for tanks and armored vehicles that could not be operated because of the embargo.

The Navy has proposed the purchase of Harpoon missiles for its attack ships.

Indonesia Strikes $1B Russian Weapons Deal
Posted 11/17/06 15:22

Indonesia has agreed to buy weaponry worth $1 billion from Russia over the next five years to beef up its military capability, Defense Minister Juwono Sudarsono said Nov. 17.
The five-year plan was approved by President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono at a cabinet meeting Nov. 16 and will take effect from 2007, Sudarsono said.
“We have agreed that the main weaponry system from Russia is needed, especially strike force” equipment for Indonesia’s Army, Navy and Air Force, he told reporters.
Payments for the deal would be strictly government-to-government, Sudarsono said. He cautioned that his department would monitor for possible cost “inflation” by Russian officials.
The plan includes the purchase of eight Sukhoi jets, two submarines and up to four assault helicopters, Sudarsono said.
The purchase would be in line with government efforts to build a squadron of Sukhoi jets, raising the total number in Indonesia to 10. A normal Indonesian Air Force squadron would contain 12 planes.
Indonesia was forced to look for new arms suppliers after the United States imposed restrictions on military sales and cooperation over concerns about rights abuses committed by the Indonesian armed forces in East Timor in 1991.
The United States, eager for Indonesia’s assistance in fighting terrorism, lifted arms restrictions and resumed full military ties in November 2004.

Pertahanan
Skuadron Sukhoi Akan Digenapi 2008


Laporan Wartawan Kompas Wisnu Nugroho A



MOSKWA, KOMPAS--Penandatanganan nota kesepahaman antara Rusia dan Indonesia di bidang pertahanan dan kerja sama teknik militer menyebut fasilitas pendanaan state credit sebesar satu miliar dollar Amerika Serikat. Fasilitas pendanaan akan digunakan dalam kurun waktu 2006-2010 untuk membangun kekuatan esensial minimal Tentara NasionaI Indonesia.

Dengan fasilitas pendanaan itu, masing-masing dari ketiga angkatan TNI yaitu darat, laut, dan udara akan memenuhi kebutuhan esensial minimalnya. Untuk TNI-AU, dengan fasilitas pendanaan itu, pada tahun 2008 diharapkan sudah memiliki satu skuadron Sukhoi lengkap dengan persenjataannya. Saat ini Indonesia baru memiliki empat Sukhoi tanpa persenjataan.

"Harapan kita, pada tahun 2008, satu skuadron sukhoi berikut persenjataannya terpenuhi," ujar Sekretaris Jenderal Departeman Pertahanan Letnan Jenderal Sjafrie Sjamsoeddin di dalam pesawat dalam perjalanan kembali ke tanah air dari Rusia, Sabtu (2/12).

Sjafrie mewakili Indonesia menandatangani nota kesepahaman yang akan menjadi payung kerja sama dan persetujuan Rusia dan Indonesia. Sjafrie turut serta dalam pertemuan bilateral Indonesia dan Rusia yang dipimpin Presiden Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono dan Presiden Federasi Rusia Vldimir Putin.

TNI-AD sampai tahun 2010 akan membeli beberapa helikopter serbu untuk operasi. Sementara TNI-AL akan membeli kapal selam dan tank amphibi untuk marinir. (Lihat Tabel)

Fasilitas pendanaan state credit merupakan formula baru pendanaan setelah Rusia 15 tahun menjadi federasi. Tawaran pendanaan ini diterima Indonesia karena efisien dan tidak ada management fee untuk tiap pembelian yang dilakukan.

"Secara keseluruhan pendanaan dari Rusia satu mliar dollar AS. Tetapi daftar belanjaan TNI membutuhkan biaya tambahan menjadi sekitar 1,3 miliar dollar AS. Dephan akan bicarakan hal itu dengan Departeman Keuangan dan Badan Perencanaan Pembangunan Nasional," ujarnya.

Meskipun demikian, pembelian peralatan TNI tidak akan serta merta dialokasikan tahun 2006-2010. "Kita memegang prinsip berdasarkan kemampuan anggaran negara. Karena itu Depan akan berkonsultasi dengan Depkeu dan Bappenas sebelum dibawa ke DPR," ujarnya.

Selain pembelanjaan, dalam nota kesepahaman disebutkan kerja sama untuk peningkatan profesionalisme prajurit kedua negara. Untuk itu akan ada program tukar menukar prajurit untuk pendidikan dan pelatihan.

Sjafrie juga menandatangani nota kesepahaman tentang hak atas kekayaan intelektual teknik militer. Dengan nota kesepahaman ini, akan ada transfer teknologi dan kerja sama produksi namun dengan rambu-rambu pengaman terkait informasi dan substansi teknik militer itu.

Alokasi Anggaran Dephan 2006-2010

TNI-AD
Mi-17 (Helikopter Transpor) 10 unit
Peralatan Tambahan untuk Mi-17-V5 1 paket
Mi-35 Tempur 5 unit
Sukucadang Mi-35 P 1 paket

PEMBELIAN ENAM SUKHOI SELESAI 2008


Moskow, Sekjen Departemen Pertahanan Sjafrie Sjamsoeddien mengatakan pembelian enam pesawat Sukhoi dari Rusia dengan dana dari kredit ekspor pemerintah Rusia diharapkan selesai pada 2008.

"Saat ini Sukhoi kita baru empat. Diharapkan dengan tambahan lagi, pada 2008 kita punya satu skuadron berikut persenjataan penuh," kata Sjafrie di pesawat kepresidenan saat kembali ke tanah air Sabtu malam.

Pembelian pesawat Sukhoi dan sejumlah senjata lain dengan kredit ekspor pemerintah Rusia senilai 1 miliar dolar AS, ditandatangani Sjafrie mewakili Pemerintah RI usai pertemuan Presiden Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono dan Presiden Federasi Rusia Vladimir Putin di Istana Kremlin Moskow, Jumat malam.

Selain Sukhoi, alat utama sistem senjata (alutsista) yang juga dibeli dengan kredit ekspor itu antara lain 10 helikopter angkut MI17 U-5, dan lima helikopter serbu MI-35-P serta satu paket perlengkapan dan amunisinya untuk TNI AD.

Dua unit kapal selam kelas kilo, 20 unit tank amphibi BMP-3F dan dua paket rudal anti kapal untuk TNI AL, serta tiga unit Sukhoi SU-27 SKM, tiga unit Sukhoi SU-30 MK 2 dan empat paket senjata dan suku cadang untuk TNI AU.

Selain kesepakatan pembelian senjata, Sjafrie juga menandatangani kerja sama dalam menghormati hak cipta dalam bidang pertahanan, yang merupakan rambu pengaman untuk bidang informasi dan substansi teknik militer.

Dijelaskan Sjafrie, meski pemerintah Rusia telah memberikan kredit sebesar 1 miliar dolar AS, jumlah itu belum mencukupi kebutuhan minimal perlengkapan TNI antara 2006 - 2010 yang mencapai 1,3 miliar dolar AS.

"Untuk sisanya kami masih mengusahakannya dengan Bappenas dan Depkeu," katanya.

Ditambahkan Sjafrie, pihaknya juga telah mencapai kesepakatan kerja sama dengan Rusia untuk meningkatkan profesionalisme prajurit dengan melakukan pengiriman untuk mengikuti pendidikan pelatihan.

[Kopassus]

The Sukhoi on the picture is a Su-27SKM
The Su-27SKM single-seat multi-role fighter is a derivative of the Su-27SK fighter.

The fighter is designed to destroy aerial targets in free air and against the background of land; and surface (ground and sea) targets with guided and unguided weapons at day and night under the all-weather conditions.

The main features of the Su-27SKM fighter are the following:

an improved fire control system boasting enhanced surface-target capabilities;
an advanced cockpit management system;
an improved navigation and communications suite;
more sophisticated self-defense electronic countermeasures (ECM) suite;
an expanded air-to-air and air-to-surface weapons suite with the ordnance mounted externally on 10 hardpoints;
an in-flight refueling system.
The fire control system of Su-27SKM provides for detection, tracking and hitting by onboard weapons aerial and surface targets round the clock and in any weather. The fire control system ensures the application of wider range (in comparison with the Su-27SK fighter) of weapon including the RVV-AE medium-range air-to-air active radar-homing missiles, and air-to-ground high-precision guided weapon with different types of guidance. The fire control system of Su-27SKM comprises two major subsystems: the first subsystem for air-to-air weapons and the second one for air-to-surface weapons.

The mainstays of the cockpit management system are two colour multifunction liquid crystal displays (LCD), colour multifunction display panel with push-buttons, and head up-display. These displays show all required digital and visual target designation, flight and navigation data as well as data on the aircraft systems status. Along with the multifunction LCDs, the instrument panel houses traditional electromechanical instruments, which act mostly as backups.

Looking Back at Sukarno's Navy
The Indonesian Navy During the Confrontation and After By Dave (Syd) Morris (DandMMorris@aol.com) Radio Operator (Tactical) on H.M.S. Dartington 62-64


Looking back at the confrontation with the wisdom (and cynicism) of age, my immediate thoughts are that as a young (19/20) and lowly sailor on a small ship, I had little appreciation of the strategic or even the wider, tactical picture of naval operations in the war against Sukarno. However, as a Radio Operator (Tactical), I saw most of the signals, so perhaps I'm doing myself an injustice. Perhaps we knew enough to appreciate the situation and do our jobs, even though we didn't have today's multimedia to inform or misinform but others who were in a similar position may remember things differently. Dave (Syd) Morris (seated)

It could just have been that we knew what was happening but didn't bother much and got on with our task in our relatively small sphere of operations. Perhaps we had more important things to worry about, like when and where our next run ashore was and did we have enough money? I do recall that we had some idea of the composition of the Indonesian Navy, but never considered them to be much of a realistic threat. Rightly or wrongly we didn't fully appreciate that there was really any risk, particularly compared to those engaged in the front line ashore. Prior to Sukarno the Indonesian Navy was a small hotch potch of old British, Dutch, American and Italian built ships but in the late 50s and early 60s Indonesia acquired a significant number of Soviet warships. It was as though Sukarno was gathering around him, like badges of office, the hardware he considered to be the essential trappings of a dictator with expansionist ambitions. But like a child collecting baubles, his fleet turned out to be decorational rather than operational. Time would show that Sukarno was either unwilling or unable to commit his naval forces. He may even have been deterred by an earlier loss, for on January 5th 1962 an Indonesian German-built `Jaguar' torpedo boat named Madjan Tutal was sunk by Dutch warships whilst trying to land infiltrators in Borneo. It could be argued that during the confrontation Indonesia had in some respects, albeit on paper, a larger naval force in the Far East than the UK. Sukarno certainly seemed to have sufficient vessels necessary for limited naval operations and the forthcoming confrontation. During the period January 1963 to December 1965 Sukarno had a substantial and varied naval force at his disposal but the number of ships actually in an operational state is a matter of speculation. It was known that the Indonesian Navy was reduced in operational efficiency through lack of material, maintenance, and personnel and it was even rumoured that the Indonesian submarines were manned predominantly by Soviet personnel.
Although the UK had a large force available during the confrontation, the primary task at sea was a defensive one in support of the extensive and varied shore operations. Whilst there was so much action happening ashore, the primary role of the minor war vessels was to patrol the Borneo and Malaya coastal areas, stopping and searching suspect fishing boats. When necessary the sweepers conducted other operations such as inshore, short distance, troop transportation including transporting SBS canoeists and their canoes for launching outside Indonesian waters. The main aim, however, was to deter transportation of men and military material. The inshore phase of this task was conducted almost exclusively throughout 1963 by the eight Ton class coastal minesweepers of the 6th Minesweeping Squadron based in Singapore. From the very start of operations in Brunei the ships of the 6th MSS adopted the title of `8th Assault Squadron' and flew a specially designed flag. This flag, based on flag `S', incorporated an anchor, a Commando dagger, the figure 8 and a jagged line to represent the river on which Brunei stands. The Ton class was lightly armed with one 40mm Bofors gun and a twin 20mm Oerlikon, with a maximum speed of 15 knots (operational speed normally 13). However, these small workhorses were limited in what they could achieve. With their lack of speed and given the distance from Singapore to Kuching, the base for Borneo operations, there was little slack in the system. There would usually be one ship in refit in Singapore and another undergoing docking. When not in the patrol area (two ships at a time, one at sea, one in Kuching) or transiting to or from the patrol area, there wasn't much time for recreational visits. During patrol periods the only places we visited, apart from Kuching, were upriver to Sibu, Song and beyond to Kapit, the island of Labuan, which was quite a good respite, and Turtle Island. On Labuan Island there was an old naval cemetery but it was another cemetery that I found very moving. As the ship's postman I had to travel across the island to collect the mail and running alongside the main road for a great distance were rows upon rows of war graves, mainly ANZACS killed during the fighting to clear Borneo of the Japanese during World War II. It seemed such a lonely place so far away from home for young Australians and New Zealanders to die. Turtle Island was an idyllic island populated only by turtles and we often stopped there for a banyan (beach picnic) and swimming. These visits were stopped when we received a signal from the Far East Naval Command ordering us not to visit there anymore as it was `interfering with the turtles' copulation'. Thirty-seven years, later whilst reading `SBS The Invisible Raiders' by James D. Ladd, I learnt that an SBS canoe team had been secretly inserted onto Turtle Island from where canoes ran into Datu Point at night and established a hidden OP. On one occasion a patrolling RN vessel mistook the canoes coming in to relieve the men in the OP for Indonesians - fortunately with no 'own goals'. So it wasn't just the turtles we were disturbing.
Near the end of my time in Dartington, the newly acquired patrol craft of the Malaysian Navy took on some patrol duties. After I left, the confrontation escalated to the Malaysian mainland coast. The number of ships was increased and the ships of the Hong Kong Squadron and others joined in operations around Borneo, Singapore and Malaya. For river and close inshore work in North Borneo, every conceivable small boat in Brunei, and later Sarawak, was pressed into service with a Royal Naval or Royal Marine crew. These included cabin cruisers, dories, assault boats, inflatables and canoes. Even the Sultan of Brunei's yacht was utilised in the early stages of operations and an SRN-5 hovercraft, piloted by an SBS officer, proved effective in the swamps near the border. Those craft crewed by the RN were usually commanded by a Midshipman or Sub-Lieutenant, with a stoker, seaman and perhaps a communicator. The smaller of the boats operating up river sometimes had a crew of just three junior rates - seaman, communicator and stoker.
The Ton class sweeper's operational speed of 13 knots did not always give a significant speed advantage and the process of searching suspect vessels usually relied on being able to outrun the suspect vessel or encouraging it to stop so that it could be caught and searched. On one occasion a native longboat was spotted close to the shore proceeding very quickly. To encourage it to stop we fired small arms in its general direction and eventually the Bofors gun crew was closed up and break up shot was fired. It had no effect. The native boatman knew he was safe. We were some distance away and he had a great speed advantage; he ignored us and went on his way. During the course of our stop and search operations I don't remember Dartington finding any Indonesians. Although all our searches continued to be negative we still approached each one with due seriousness. Reports of positive searches by other sweepers and incidents of armed resistance and casualties, were constant reminders that each stop and search was a potential danger.
Whilst I was in Dartington, we had no real contact with the Indonesian Navy. On one patrol, some distance from the coast in company with another sweeper, we spotted an Indonesian missile patrol boat close inshore. It was too far away for either to take any notice of each other. Just as well really - Bofors, Oerlikons and an operational speed of 13 knots are no match for a Styx missile on a 40-knot patrol boat! I don't remember seeing any reports of any significant RN contact with the Indonesian Navy, but no doubt someone, somewhere, has a record of such contacts.
Overall the naval aspects of the confrontation were a typical British approach of limited and necessary force, generally and overtly defensive in nature. Sukarno may have made the same mistake that the Argentineans would make some years later. He probably misread the messages and then grossly underestimated the response, commitment and resolution of the British government, the British people and the British armed forces. Having witnessed the initial response, Sukarno would have been reluctant to escalate the confrontation at sea by committing his naval forces to an offensive role. By this time he will have realised that the British reaction would have been predictable and swift. Britain had committed only those forces necessary for the limited sea operations, but if provoked, there would have been no hesitation in bringing the larger units of the Far East Fleet into play in a more offensive role. Carriers with fixed wing strike aircraft, big gun cruisers, destroyers, frigates and submarines. There was also the possibility of further strengthening of the fleet by other RN, Commonwealth or Allied units - Australian, Canadian and New Zealand units took part in FOTEX 63 (Flag Officer's Training Exercise 1963). Forty units from 5 different navies participated in FOTEX 65, and this included 4 flat tops - Melbourne, Eagle, Victorious and Bulwark. Maybe Sukarno didn't have the will or the confidence in his navy and so the only significant operation in which his ships engaged, that I am aware of, was to set up caches of arms and explosives in the Riau Archipelago, a line of islands south of Singapore. Attempted incursions into Malaysian waters by small Indonesian naval craft were generally deterred by low flying fixed wing aircraft.



THE CONFRONTATION - 1962 TO 1966
Much of the following information is taken from various editions of `Jane's Fighting Ships' and `The World's Navies'. The maximum speeds shown relate to when the vessel was first built and the armaments listed are those usually fitted to that type of ship and do not include any local modifications. Just because these ships are listed on the strength of the Indonesian Navy does not necessarily mean that they were operational, efficient or effective. On the contrary, later experience showed that they went into rapid decline on the reduction and withdrawal of Soviet support on Sukarno's departure. As late as 1999, the Indonesian Navy was still suffering from a lack of funding, manning, equipment and maintenance.
MAJOR UNITS
7 destroyers, 12 frigates, 17 corvettes, 6 submarines, 15 amphibious vessels.
LIGHT FORCES
12 missile boats, 18 gunboats, 21 torpedo boats.
MISCELLANEOUS FORCES
6 submarine chasers, 25 patrol boats, 10 motor launches, 20 minesweepers, 4 survey vessels, 4 depot ships, 9 oilers,
10 auxiliaries
Details of all these vessels are contained in annex A.
THE ROYAL NAVY FAR EAST FLEET DURING THE 1960s
The strength of an individual fleet at any given time is not as easy to ascertain as that of a national navy. The size of the Far East Fleet was constantly changing depending upon policy and availability of ships, and the actual units that comprised the fleet were changed round at regular intervals. The following is gleaned from a variety of sources including the Drafting Forecast sections of Navy News July 1962 and May 1963, and information gratefully received from Peter Green. Some of it is an estimate based on personal experience of three tours of duty East of Suez in the 1960s.
In the 1960s Britain's strategy for maintaining a fleet East of Suez took two forms. Some units, usually minor war vessels but on occasion larger units, were kept on station and the crews changed as a whole or as individuals. The larger units, including the destroyer, frigate, and submarine squadrons, changed at regular intervals as ships and even whole squadrons commissioned in the UK and proceeded East of Suez to relieve those on station. The number of units on station could be easily increased by retaining those relieved by units from the UK.
In general terms the RN Far East Fleet at any one time in the 1960s would have probably have been:
1 strike carrier
Embarked - three fixed wing squadrons - fighters, bombers and AEW (Air Early Warning) plus one ASW (Anti Submarine Warfare) helicopter squadron. Centaur, Eagle, Ark Royal, Victorious, Hermes in turn. The strike carriers usually handed over in the East and generally operated together before one headed for home. Both Eagle and Victorious took part in FOTEX 65. In 1967 Victorious handed over to Hermes off Aden in support of British run down and withdrawal operations.
1 Commando carrier.

The first RN ships to appear in the Far East with missile systems were the Leander class frigates armed with the Seacat short-range surface-to- air system and the County class destroyers armed with the Seaslug medium range surface-to-air system. These systems could theoretically be used in a surface-to-surface role but this may never have been validated in practice. Both classes started to arrive in the Far East late 1963/1964.
THE SHIPS
A list of some of the units that formed part of the Royal Navy Far East Fleet at some time during 1962 to 1966 is contained in annex B.
THE REMNANTS OF THE INDONESIAN NAVY - 1975
There were few significant withdrawals/deletions from the reported strength of the Indonesian Navy during the period 1965 - 1974, but in reality Surabaya Dockyard in 1975 told a totally different story.
In the latter half of 1975, Task Group 317.3, on a round the world deployment out through Suez and home via Panama, visited Surabaya in Java, the chief port of the Indonesian Navy. The Task Group was commanded by the Flag Officer Second Flotilla (FOF2) - Rear Admiral John D.E. Fieldhouse using HMS Glamorgan as his flagship. This visit to Surabaya was significant in that it was the first visit to an Indonesia port by RN ships since the confrontation, although the Indonesian Navy had exercised with the New Zealanders as part of a SEATO exercise. This was the only time on this deployment that a Royal Fleet Auxiliary vessel was refused access to a port. Although previously classed as unarmed merchant ships and therefore having access to any commercial port, the fitting of a helicopter, which was classed as a weapon, changed this. RFAs now often found themselves berthed or anchored some way from the RN ships and the main port and this was the case in Surabaya. The RN group was scheduled to take part in an exercise with the Indonesian Navy, which they would organise, FOF2 taking charge of the more specialized and complicated serials such as replenishment.
The naval yard at Surabaya contained the remnants of Sukarno's navy. It was crammed full of ships and although they were all fully manned they were generally non-operational, mainly due to lack of spares. The Soviets had withdrawn all support on Sukarno's departure and the ships had been systematically depleted of machinery and equipment. They had been cannibalized in an effort to keep some of the major units of the navy afloat and operational. By this time their operational strength was down to two ex-USSR Riga class frigates and one submarine. It was the two frigates, Nuku and Lambung Mangkurat, with whom the RN ships would be exercising. A joint planning conference and harbour evolutions did not inspire confidence in the RN personnel who attended as part of the preparations for the forthcoming exercise and harbour training highlighted the material shortcomings and lack of expertise of the Indonesian ships. Luckily the exercise at sea was only to last a few hours, all in daylight. RN personnel sailed on the Indonesian ships, with one Seaman Chief Petty Officer and one Leading Radio Operator (Tactical) on each. One of the tasks the Seaman CPOs undertook was to show the Indonesians how to rig a jackstay, which they had not done before. The motivation was great because the RN personnel would be using the jackstay to return to Glamorgan. The exercise went off without any major mishaps apart from one of the Indonesian frigates, the flagship, breaking down and limping back into port. A reliable source stated that the one submarine that the Indonesians had left could not be submerged. Whenever there were foreign ships in port they would steam it out of harbour each morning with due ceremony to attract attention. The boat would spend the day out of sight somewhere on the surface, then steam back into port in the evening with more ceremony. The Indonesians were, however, optimistic about the future, as they were about to take delivery of ex-US Navy ships.



THE TRANSITION - 1979
In 1979 it was reported that the Indonesian Navy had obtained 4 ex-US Claud Jones class frigates in 1973/74 but there was no sign of these in Surabaya in 1975. They were actually refitted in Subic Bay in 1979/82 so may not have been operational before this. The navy was reported of consisting of 3 Riga, 2 Surapati and 2 or 3 Pattimura class frigates but it is doubtful if many, if any at all, were fully operational at this time. The same would apply to the submarines of which 3 Whisky class were reported. Of the original patrol craft there were 4 torpedo boats and 3 large patrol craft left with 4 new missile boats on order from South Korea



THE NEW ERA - 1979 and beyond.
In the mid 1970s Indonesia started the redevelopment of its navy and by 1999 boasted a fleet of mainly relatively modern ships and equipment from non-Communist sources. However, the operational ability and development of the navy was still adversely affected by funding, manning and maintenance problems - a symptom of the continuing political instability in the country.

Poland-made patrol boats to strengthen Indonesian police fleet


Jakarta (ANTARA News) - Five patrol boats made in Gdansk, Poland, will strengthen the Indonesian Police (Polri) fleet to reduce such crimes as poaching, smuggling, and illegal logging which had caused the country to suffer tens of trillions of rupiahs annually, the Indonesian Embassy in Warsaw has said.

Gydnia Naval Shipyard (GNS) and Polri officials signed a document on the sending of the five boats from Gdansk to Indonesia, the embassy said in a statement made available to ANTARA News here.

Indonesian Ambassador to Poland Hazairin Pohan witnessed the signing, it said.

The Polish government has already finished a US$24.48 million-contract to build the five patrol boats and will send them either in February or March.

The five patrol boats are of the modern B-2 (NS-935) class which can each accommodate 25-30 personnel and carry complete weaponry system.

Each vessel is 36.4 meters long and 6.8 meters wide with a dead weight of 198 tons and a speed capacity of 26.5 knots.

The statement said the making of five boats was financed by a First Phase Export Credit scheme worth US$145 million agreed by the two countries.

Through the mechanism, Polri and the Indonesian Defense Forces (TNI) bought military equipment like long-range radar, rockets, Mi-2 plus helicopter, Skytruck plane and the patrol boats from Poland.

The military equipment for TNI was sent in 2006.

Based on the scheme, GNS leaders have told Ambassador Hazairin that they are ready to cooperate with Indonesian shipyard PT PAL to jointly produce various kinds of ships for Indonesia itself or other Asian countries.

The cooperation will allow Indonesia and Poland to conduct a transfer of technology and training programs for Indonesian technicians as well as to establish a docking and shipyard production center in Indonesia. (*)

Why is the Indonesian Police buying Patrol Boats where PT.Pal are allready manufacturing them. Its cheaper, and if their complaining about weaponery and communication system, they always can upgrade them using foreign stuffs.

pal's dock is busy with national frigate (2 ship LPD class if im not mistaken) and other got contract with local oil company (pertamina) for tanker. they also expect transfer in technology, so sometime soon theyll manufacture licensed product.

i heard that the 10 russian sub will be locally produced, but no confirmation yet.

Enjoy these pics! Hope the defense co-op agreement between Indonesia and my country will be confirmed soon.

Is Daewoo or Hyundai building that ship?

I think that is Daewoo. PT PAL in Surabaya is suppose to build the next 2 ships of that class, I am hoping that it will happen.

[Kopassus]

Thanks Makaveli, very nice ship!

[kakitsubata]

Is Daewoo or Hyundai building that ship?

The main contractor is Dae Sun shipbuilding, not one of the largest builders in Korea, but one of the oldest. Not sure the relationship between the company and Daewoo, but for the Indonesian deal, they did conduct the business through Daewoo International, so maybe part of the conglomorate, or partnership. It's not part of the Daewoo Shipbuilding & Marine Engineering (DSME) company at least.

New Hawk Aircraft for the Air Force?
Good news for the Indonesian Air Force (IAF), new multi-role lightweight jetfighter and advanced training Hawk aircraft may strengthen its squadron in near future. Defense Minister Juwono Sudarsono announced the news early February saying that Indonesia currently may procure the Hawk fighter from England.
"But it is up to TNI head Air Chief Marshal Djoko Suyanto and Air Force Chief-of-Staff Air Chief Marshal Herman Prayitno to determine (of procuring) the Hawk, whether meet technical specification and our budget range," said the minister.
Among the specification, whether the fighter-trainer aircraft would still be reliable in 10 years time. Several type of Hawks, from BAe System's Hawk Mk-53 to more modern Hawk 100 and Hawk 200 were already in service for many years in the Indonesian Air Froce. A total of more than 40 Hawks had strengthen IAF squadrons.
The number dwindled sharply as the U.S.and U.K. imposed embargo on spare-parts for aircraft manufactured by the two Western countries following the East Timor crisis. Recently the embargo had been lifted but in the meantime, Indonesia look to other sources for its need of fighter planes as well trainers and other military equipments.
Several countries had offered to sell weaponry to Indonesia, including Britain, South Korea, Poland and China. "We are studying the offer from Britain, and will compare the offers from other countries," said Juwono as quoted by Antara new agency.
Since in service with the Royal Air Force in 1976, over 800 Hawks had been delivered worldwide. Beside Indonesia, countries operating the Hawk fighter-trainer aircraft include Malaysia, South Korea, Zimbabwe, Kenya, Saudi Arabia, Oman, United Arab Emirates, Finland, and the U.S. (ds)

Indonesia Interested to Procure Mi-26T
Indonesia is very keen to procure Russian-made Mi-26T multipurpose heavy-lift helicopter, especially the fire-fighting version. Not only one, but two units to be procured along with two fire-fighting amphibious Beriev Be-200 aircraft.
Angkasa source recently said, a demonstration flight will be conducted in the presence of President Susilo Bambang Yudhyono April next month in Jambi, Sumatera. An M-26T helicopter will be ferry flown from Russia to Jakarta for the purpose.
The gigantic 28,6 ton eight blades helicopter has the capability to transport 15 ton of water to the fire site, complementing with the Be-200 in extinguishing forest fire such as forest fire of Sumatra and Kalimantan of last year.
To extinguish forest fire on the two provinces, Indonesia leased two Beriev Be-200s from Russia. Its successful mission, resulted the interest of the Indonesian government to procure three to four Be-200s, each with a price-tag of US$40 million.
"After further study, the government decided to buy two Be-200s and two Mi-26T helicopters for the future fire-fighting missions," said Angkasa's source. The forest fire is a seasonal occurrence, the worst forest fire in the last five years occurred in the two provinces which currently triggered the government to owned fire-fighting aircraft.
Both the Be-200 and the US$ 20 million Mi-26T are multipurpose aircraft, the Be-200 quickly can be transform for maritime surveillance, transport plane to remote areas unreachable by other fix-wing aircraft, or quickly as ambulance on SAR mission such as rescuing the Senopati ship capsized in the middle of the sea recently or the most recent sea accident of Levina I ferry boat 80 km from capital Jakarta.
"While the Mi-26T helicopter, quickly can be transform to airlift heavy equipments such as areas hit by tsunami in Aceh. Or bridge construction, during mounting and transporting heavy industrial equipment, mounting rigs and electric power lines. For military purposes, it can carry tank and armored vehicle complete with its troops," he further explained.
In the past, Indonesian Air Force was one of the first foreign air force outside the Soviet Union, operating the then biggest military helicopter --- Mi-6. (ds)

Makasih, tapi linknya tidak bisa dibuka.

Some time ago i read that Indonesia maybe want to buy some L-159.
Maybe, its better for us to buy L-159, KTX-2/T-50/A-50 or Yak-130.
Nanti kalau kita beli Hawk barangkali kita kena embargo lagi

[KingoftheHill]

Yes, L-159 is better.

You see all the armaments is can carry, not only that but it's cheaper and the Czechs are anxiously looking for a buyer.

spesifikasi
Selaku wahana pengamatan berjarak jangkau menengah Smart Eagle II (selanjutnya disebut SE-II) pertama kali muncul di depan publik pada penghujung tahun 2005. SE II merupakan salah satu komponen dari seperangkat sistem pengamatan via udara tanpa awak yang terdiri atas wahana udara (air vehicle), muatan (payload), dan stasiun pengendali (ground control station).

Dimensi fisik SE II adalah sebagai berikut. Panjang badan total mencapai 3,6 meter sementara lebar rentang sayap 4,8 meter dan tinggi (dari permukaan tanah hingga ujung sirip ekor) sekitar satu meter. Dengan bobot kosong 65 kilogram dan bobot maksimum tinggal landas (maximum take-off weight) 100 kilogram, SE II sanggup terbang selama hampir enam jam seraya mengusung beban muatan seberat 20 kilogram. Tempo terbang ini mencakup dua jam untuk menuju dan pulang dari tempat operasi serta empat jam untuk beraksi. Bermodal bahan bakar bensin sebanyak 20 liter, SE II dapat terbang sejauh 150 kilometer dan setinggi 30 kilometer dengan kecepatan jelajah normal (cruise speed) 120 kilometer per jam. Namun dalam kondisi darurat kecepatan terbang SE II dapat digenjot hingga 150 kilometer perjam agar bisa menjangkau lokasi sejauh 300 kilometer.

Kinerja
SE II dapat dimodifikasi agar sanggup mengusung aneka jenis muatan yang disimpan dalam ruang pada bagian tengah bawah badan pesawat berdiameter 26 sentimeter. Muatan dapat berupa seperangkat kamera pengamat berstabilisator giro (gyro-stabilized device) dan sarana tayang hasil pengamatan. Skala perbesaran optis tampilan obyek bidik (zooming optical scale) kamera ini 25 kali. Jika perlu arah bidik kamera dapat dilengkapi alat penjejak sasaran yang dipandu sinar laser (laser beam range finder) berjangkauan 10 kilometer. Atau bisa juga berupa seperangkat kamera pengamat berstabilisator giro dan sensor citra termal (thermal image sensor) yang juga dibantu alat penjejak sasaran berpanduan sinar laser. Berkat keduanya, SE II mampu mendeteksi satu obyek berukuran empat meter persegi dalam jarak tiga kilometer.

Segala gerak gerik SE II dikendalikan oleh dua operator di stasiun pengendali. Operator pertama mengatur olah terbang dan operator kedua mengoperasikan perangkat pengamat. Komunikasi umum antara SE II dengan stasiun pengendali dilakukan lewwat alat komunikasi tanpa kabel (wireless communication device) yang bekerja pada frekuensi 2,4 Giga Hertz. Untuk mengirim sinyal perintah operasi kepada SE II dipakai perangkat komunikasi yang bekerja pada gelombang elektromagnetik berfrekuensi UHF (Ultra High Frequency) sementara untuk menerima data hasil pengamatan dipakai perangkat komunikasi yang bekerja pada pita gelombang elektromagnetik tipe S (S-band).

Sistem kendali penerbangang SE II memanfaatkan sistem fly by wire dan untuk keperluan navigasi mengandalkan perangkat penentu lokasi Global Positioning System (GPS). Agar data hasil pengamatan SE II juga dapat disaksikan pihak di luar stasiun pengendali pada waktu yang bersamaan maka disertakan unit penerima data mobil (mobile receiver unit). Guna menjalankan seluruh kegiatan operasional ini dibutu*kan tenaga listrik sebesar lima kilo Watt yang dipasok oleh dua unit pembangkit tenaga listrik bergerak skala kecil (mobile genset). Selain itu unit operasional SE II juga melibatkan unit perawatan dan penyedia suku cadang. Seluruh sistem operasional SE II dapat disiagakan kedelapan awaknya dalam waktu dua jam.

Indonesia to Buy 12 Russian Submarines


Created: 23.01.2006 16:46 MSK (GMT +3), Updated: 16:46
MosNews

Indonesia has expressed its intention to purchase 12 submarines from Russia before 2024.

First Admiral Abdul Malik Yusuf, the chief spokesman for the Indonesian Navy was quoted by RIA-Novosti news agency as saying combat submarines were strategic armaments allowing the country to maintain security in its territorial waters.

The admiral said the Indonesian waters were defenseless against the penetration of foreign ships. In light of this, the Indonesian navy turned to the country’s leadership with a proposal to purchase six Kilo-class submarines worth $1.9 billion from Russia in the next five years. The proposal had not yet been accepted due to insufficient budget funds.

In the recent past, the Indonesian submarine fleet was entirely composed of Soviet-made combat submarines, the agency reminded citing Indonesia’s leading magazine, Tempo.

More seriously, we can see that there are still a few Dutch military influence, with the shoulders of the drummer-majors.

Indonesia-italy: Ministers Finalise Joint Defence Deal

Rome, 20 April (AKI) - Italy and Indonesia are finalising details of a deal to provide Indonesia with two Corvettes or enhanced fast patrol boats worth 520,000 euros, that will be jointly financed and built by the two countries. This was confirmed by the Indonesian defence minister Juwono Sudarsono, in an exclusive interview with Adnkronos International (AKI) on Friday during his three-day visit to Italy. "We want to shift the emphasis to joint production rather than just buying them directly," Sudarsono told AKI, adding that they are exploring similar deals with China, South Korea and India to meet Indonesia's defence needs.

The acquisition of the vessels is part of Indonesia's National Corvette Programme to build up a fleet of 30 to 40 Corvettes in the space of 10 to 15 years to patrol the maritime areas of Indonesia, the world's largest archipelagic state.

The boats will be used to patrol the sea lanes around Indonesia and conduct anti-piracy programmes in and around the Malacca Straits, which has typically been one of the most pirate-infested sea lanes in the world - and it is also one of the busiest.

The National Corvette Programme was initiated five years ago and Indonesia currently has eight such vessels, four of which they purchased from the Netherlands. However this deal with the two Italian companies, the ship builder, Fincantieri to build the vessles and the aerospace and defence holding, Finmechanica, to build the combat systems on the two Corvettes, is different.

According to Sudarsono, who met with Italian defence minister Arturo Parisi on Thursday, the Italian government has agreed to provide a bank guarantee for 85 percent of the costs while the remaining 15 percent will be provided by the state banks of Indonesia. On top of that there will also be a joint production with the shipyards in Surabaya in East Java with the hope of developing "a home grown maritime defence".

"Based on our assessment, we find that Italy has the best technology on the vessel side and on the command control side," said Sudarsono. "It has a good reputation and the price is right," he said, adding that there is also a political element.

"Italy is fairly independent of NATO policy especially with regards to Afghanistan and Iraq," Sudarsono told AKI, refering to the fact that Italy has withdrawn most of its troops from Iraq with the exception of some Carabinieri or paramilitary troops. "This is politically important because we want to share a vision of defence strategy including defence planning and management," he said.

Following his meetings Italian defence ministry officials, Sudarsono also said that they two country's plan to conduct exchange visits between the national defence colleges of the two countries, a programme Indonesia already has in place with India, Australia and Japan.

"We want to encourage our soldiers to have a healthy sense of nationalism and not to be too inward looking," he said, adding that there will also be opportunities for Indonesian officers to gain training in humanitarian and military law at an international institute in San Remo and in La Spezia, in the coastal north-western region of Liguria. "We want our officers to be well-versed in international dimensions of conflict resolution, adhering to human rights principles as part of our democratic reform process," he said.

Both Italy and Indonesia have sent troops to Lebanon to be a part of the UNIFIL mission, with Italy assuming its leadership in March.

Sudarsono said that Indonesia "provided the right ambience" in the UNIFIL mission because it shared the same multi-cultural and multi-ethnic traits as Lebanon.

Indonesian defence ministry officials will be traveling to the dockyards of the Italian ship builder, Fincantieri, in La Spezia on Friday to finalise the details of the deal and Sudarsono said that they expect the two Corvettes to be built between 2008 to 2011.

The Corvettes acquired by Indonesia also serve a dual role, according to Sudarsono, who announced in March that that Indonesia, the world's most populous Muslim nation, is to concentrate on non-military threats in is defence related acquisitions.

"It's based on economics. There's not enough money to provide a strong and robust defence force," he said adding that there was also a reduction of any military threat to the country.

He said that Indonesia plans instead to concentrate on boosting defence capability, using equipment and resources in emergency responses to threats such as volcanic eruptions, tsunami and earthquakes which have hit Indonesia in the recent past.

"That is why we emphasised the Corvettes which have landing platform docks," he said. "They have a dual role in that they are mainly transport and do not have strong fighting capability," he said.

"It's not just purely for defence, but also for development," he said.

16/04/07, with the locally based Rock Maritime Services acting as agents, the Panamanian registered 1998-built, 14021-ton General Cargo Ship, the Da Hua, arrived in Gibraltar with two new Indonesian Police Patrol Boats as deck cargo. The vessels, KP Pelikan (641) and KP Punai (642), are the first two of five brand new, Polish built, 36.4-metre, 198-ton vessels which were financed under a US $145-million deal which also included Mi-2 helicopters and a number of Skytruck aircraft.

Indonesia-italy: Ministers Finalise Joint Defence Deal

Rome, 20 April (AKI) - Italy and Indonesia are finalising details of a deal to provide Indonesia with two Corvettes or enhanced fast patrol boats worth 520,000 euros, that will be jointly financed and built by the two countries

The National Corvette Programme was initiated five years ago and Indonesia currently has eight such vessels, four of which they purchased from the Netherlands. However this deal with the two Italian companies, the ship builder, Fincantieri to build the vessles and the aerospace and defence holding, Finmechanica, to build the combat systems on the two Corvettes, is different.

E 520.000?
eight vessels?

Thanks for the info and pictures Makaveli.
The Missile an Multipurpose corvettes are looking very good, but also too hightech and expensive, with Goalkeeper CIWS and a radarsystem like APAR.

Why we bought those patrolboats from Poland? PAL can also build such things (also better looking). KP Pelikan (641) dan KP Punai (642) seperti tugboats.

[equilibrium37]

In my opinion the Goalkeeper CIWS should be the standart anti-missile weapon system throughout the TNI-AL.

Btw does anyone know if normal Indonesian soldiers are equipped with side-arms? if they do what kind. thx

Yes, its one of the best CIWS in the world (better than Meroka or Phalanx). But also expensive (NLG 35.000.000,- AFAIK) and the gunsystem is from General Electric, so thats a problem with the embargo.

But we indeed need a good CIWS, our Diponegoro (SIGMA) class korvettes are completely defenceles against anti-ship missiles.

Thanks! I didnt know this CIWS exists, but it looks good, really a copy of the Goalkeeper, but with indigeneous optronical firecontrolsystems.

Its a good idea, maybe not as good as the Goalkeeper, but it has to be a lot cheaper than the Goalkeeper!

[equilibrium37]

I dont think those light Corvettes are such a good choice for the Navy, they need something that is capable to reach from Surabaya all the way to Aceh. PT PAL should be able to develop those corvettes themselves. I think the existing budget should be spent most on procuring long range submarines and cruiser's.

Yes, th e Type 877 (6000 nautical miles) and Type 636 (7500 nm) class submarines have a long range, so i think they are a good choice.
But a cruiser (even a destroyer) is too big and expensive for our navy. A (big) frigate is sufficient. For example, the Fatahillah klas has a range of 4250 nm and the Ahmad Yani class 4500 nm, so enough to reach every point of our nation.

Oya, i have also some questions.
When was KRI Hasanuddin 333 decommissioned? Is KRI Martha Kristina Tiyahahu 331 also taken out of service?

[siderius]

Hello,

Who has some info and pictures of the Indonesian submachinegun Model VII, as developed in the 1950s?

STEYR – Big news from Steyr is that it looks like we may see the AUG gracing the racks at our favorite gun store once again. The new AUG will be built here in the U.S. at their new facility, but they are currently being produced at their new facility in Vienna Austria, and licensed in Indonesia, Australia, and New Zealand, after having been forced out of the old factory. Look for them around the end of the year once they get BATFE approval. Steyr also has couple of new rifles. One was a proof of concept. It is an SBS in .450 Marlin caliber. The other actually began production about two weeks ago and is an SBS in the NEW .338 Federal. The .338 Federal is a .308 necked up to .338. It gives near magnum performance in a small package and at reduced recoil.

I still dunno it either will be produced under aug co-ltd or under our pindad... not suree...

Is it rite if the kopassus will have its own rotary wing unit?? It it will... I have a very good sugestion... Why dun our governm procure new modell instead of old model such as Mi17 or Mi35P, hind seri P can be said as "bau tanahh" harusny M versi canggih... ato mungkin upgrade (lebi murahh)... For Mi17 matter I think this is much more better for your sake in the field:

Acara yang berjudul "Mayor's Community Coffee 2007" bertempat di Arcadia Community Center. Diantara tentara yang mendapatkan penghargaan juga terdapat putera asal Indonesia, bernama Ricky Hermawarman. Dibawah ini adalah sepatah kata dari orang tuanya;

http://www.indonesiamedia.com/2007/05/early/local/images/local/ricky3.jpg"Sebagai keluarga militer kami merasa terharu akan begitu besar penghargaan yang diberikan oleh City maupun Negara kepada mereka yang masih aktif bertugas. Sebagai contoh di depan City Hall terpampang nama-nama warga Arcadia yang sedang menjalani tugas militer. Dari keluarga Indonesia untuk City of Arcadia diwakili oleh Senior Airman Ricky Hemawarman yang saat ini bertugas di Barksdale Air Force Base di Bossier City, Lousiana. Ricky yang lulus dari Arcadia High School tahun 2002 sebenarnya sudah terdaftar di University of California in Irvine jurusan Chemical Engineering, tetapi saat-saat terakhir dia memutuskan untuk bergabung dengan U.S. Air Force. Semangat partirotisme telah mendorong dirinya untuk berbuat sesuatu kepada Negara yang telah membentuk dirinya dan ini sebagai tanda pula bahwa imigran asal Indonesia tidak hanya menikmati kebebasan di negeri ini, tetapi bersedia turut aktif berjuang bersama untuk menjaga keutuhan Negara dan bangsa."

MABES TNI AL TELITI TORPEDO KAPAL SELAM ASING

Jakarta - Markas Besar (Mabes) Tentara Nasional Indonesia Angkatan Laut (TNI-AL) segera meneliti torpedo kapal selam misterius yang ditemukan di perairan Tanjung Binga, Bangka Belitung, Minggu (6/5).

"Rencana akan tiba di Pelabuhan Tanjung Priok, hari ini (Kamis,10/5). Dan segera akan kami teliti," kata Kepala Dinas Penerangan Mabes TNI AL (Kadispenal) Kolonel Laut Sugeng Darmawan di Jakarta, Kamis.

Berbicara dalam acara "Pisah Sambut Kadispenal" ia mengatakan pemeriksaan dan penelitian torpedo dengan panjang 7,2 meter itu akan dilakukan oleh tim teknisi penjinakan bom Dinas Senjata dan Elektronika TNI AL.

"Kami selidiki dulu," katanya menambahkan.

Torpedo dengan dua baling-baling dan empat sirip ditemukan tiga orang nelayan di perairan Tanjung Binga, Bangka Belitung, Minggu (6/5), ketika sedang mencari ikan.

Senjata pamungkas antikapal permukaan itu ditemukan nelayan Sutoyo dalam keadaan terapung-apung di laut tepatnya 35 mil barat laut Pulau Lengkuas, Belitung.

Menyikapi itu, Suyoto dan dua rekan nelayan lainnya melaporkan temuannya ke aparat desa Tanjung Bingga yang langsung menyampaikan ke Pos TNI AL Mindanau, Tanjung Pandan, Pangkalan TNI AL Bangka Belitung.

Dari hasil pengecekan fisik sementara, torpedo berwarna perak itu bukan eks-perang dunia kedua dan bukan milik TNI AL. "Karena itu dengan menggunakan KRI Teluk Cirebon 543, torpedo asing itu dibawa ke Jakarta, untuk penelitian lebih lanjut," kata Sugeng.

KAPAL PERANG BARU TNI AL BUATAN KOREA SELATAN TIBA DI SURABAYA

Surabaya - Kepala Staf TNI AL (Kasal) Laksamana TNI Slamet Soebijanto di Dermaga Koarmatim, Ujung, Surabaya, Senin, menyambut kedatangan kapal perang baru TNI AL, yakni KRI Makassar-590 yang dibuat dan dibeli dari Korea Selatan.

KRI Makassar yang merupakan jenis "Landing Platform Dock" (LPD) berlayar dari Negeri Ginseng itu, selama 18 hari. Kedatangan kapal baru itu, juga disambut sejumlah panglima komando utama TNI AL, para asisten Kasal serta keluarga ABK kapal KRI Makassar.

Kapal yang diproduksi oleh "Daesun Shipbuildings & Engineering CO Ltd" itu, merupakan kapal pertama dari dua kapal jenis LPD yang dipesan TNI AL dari Korea Selatan.

Kapal dengan panjang 122 meter itu dapat mengangkut sekitar 507 personel, 13 kendaran tempur tank, lima helikopter yang menggunakan teknologi khusus serta sejumlah peralatan militer lainnya.

Kapal itu dilengkapi dengan meriam 100 mm, ruang CIC ("Combat Information Center") atau pusat informasi tempur untuk sistem kendali senjata yang berfungsi sebagai alat komunikasi untuk melindungi pendaratan pasukan dan kendaraan tempur serta pengendalian pendaratan helikopter.

Kapal itu juga dapat digunakan untuk operasi militer selain perang, yakni operasi kemanusiaan serta penanggulangan bencana alam serta dibuat sesuai untuk iklim dan perairan Indonesia.

KRI dengan bobot 7.800 ton yang dilengkapai dengan dua landasan pendaratan helikopter (helipad) itu, dikomandani oleh Letkol Laut (P) Taat Siswo Sunarto dan diawaki oleh 100 personel, terdiri dari tiga perwira menengah, 12 perwira pertama, 51 bintara dan 34 tamtama.

Kasal mengemukakan, kontrak pengadaan kapal TNI AL itu dilakukan pada Desember 2004 lalu, berjumlah empat kapal jenis LPD, dengan kesepakatan dua kapal dibangun di Korea Selatan dan dua dibangun di PT PAL Indonesia.

"Pembangunan LPD di PT PAL Indonesia sudah memasuki tahap pembangunan yang ditandai dengan pemotongan baja pertama (first steel cutting) dan peletakan lunas pertama (keel laying) beberapa bulan lalu," paparnya.

I'm an avid aviation fan and I've noticed some shocking similarities between Indonesia's domestic airlines and it's military. For instance Garuda added just x2 Boeing 737-800s in the past 5 years, and TNI added x2 Su-27SK and x2 Su-30KI.

i think the TNI planning to sign the contract for 6 Su-27/30 lately this year. about L-159, the TNI hasn't decide yet. now they still evaluating this aircraft, against K-8, Yak-130 and T-50. the contract for training aircarft will be taken at least at 2009. beside the training aircraft, TNI also looking for COIN Fighter to replace the OV-10s. the candidate are Super Tucano and KO-1... i hope this would answer you question. sorry for bad english.. btw, TNI-AU has SU-30MK, not KI..

Actually Garuda has signed deals back in 2005-2006 for 25 Boeing B737-800NG's, 12 B787-800 Dreamliners. Also Lion Air also ordered 30 Boeing B737-900's

[karbol]

those are NAS-332 made by Indonesia Aerospace (PT. DI). about the F-16, my friend recently do some coverage in Iswahyudi AFB, F-16 combat ready now almost about 6-8 aircraft.

agree, from my friend in Kopassus, the buttstock is easily broken..

I have a gut feeling that will go the same way as their order for 777s.

Lion Air? LOL, they are going to be falling out of the sky like there is no tomorrow.

Nah I dont think its gonna be like the 777 era. They allready paid somewhat (i know its not alot) 1/4 of the payments. And plus Garuda is allready received their first two 737-NG's.

And about Lion air, because theyr old 737's are falling out of the sky thats why they need 30 new more so that it will fall out the sky again after 20 years or so lol. Its funny how Lion Air has money to buy the 737's but not enough to take care of them. But Garuda is pretty trustworthy though. IMO

I thought Garuda has ordered 18 B-737-800's and 10 B787-800's, and Lion Air 2 x 30 B737-900ER's (=60)...

6 biji....sounds like a replacement for our Ahmad Yani class frigates.
I only dont understand why they always say that the SIGMA-class only has a range of 300 nm....its impossible, for example
Fatahilah-class, a 84 m long ship : 4250nm
Kapitan Patimura/Parchim I class, a 75 m long ship: 2150nm
Sibaru class, patrolboats from just 32 m: 1200 nm

So, how can a SIGMA corvet (90,7 m) have a range of only 300 nm? I think this has to be 3000 nm

" In another development, Fincantieri of Italy has won a contract for supplying the TNI-AL with up to four Commandante-class guided missile corvettes."
I have searching internet, read the websites of Fincantieri, Riva Trigoso and PAL, but i cant find any information about this cotract or order.
