I think it should be written: the Marines are off to Sebatik & Tarakan islands, not to Ambalat water directly. The Marines have bases in these two frontier islands, to support the TNI task forces defending the Ambalat water from "the aggressor Navy".
Marines off to Ambalat - 8th rotation since 2005
They also maintaining their physical presence on the man-made small islands with a light-house & Indonesian flag in the Ambalat water 24x7. Occasionaly, they exchange "communications" using telescope & radio with their counterpart from the KD ships.
Meanwhile, on the other part of the world, thousand miles from Ambalat theatre, the Indonesian Marines (& other TNI units) & TDM soldiers are working together hand-in-hand everyday wearing the same UN light blue beret, maintaining peace in Lebanon.
Peace ...

I think in this case it really are AK-47. In other pics of TNI servicemen with Vz.58, the weapons always had the foldable metal buttstock. TNI uses both weapons, though.

Vz.58:
The "normal" camo is very effective, i have never seen "masterchief grandma curtain camo pattern" in real live.Everybody now can see & judge, which camo looks better between this grandma's curtain & the standard DPM in the background.
Anyhow, this Kopaska officer (I presume he's an officer) has the minimum Kopaska qualifications. On his left pocket flap is the airborne wing based on US Navy design. On his left chest is the Navy Basic Combat Swimmer qualification badge. On his right chest is the famous SEAL co-training badge.
The seamen troops in the back are showing their old AK-47 inventory.
The TNI DPM doesnt look as effective in here compared to the MARPAT. I think the new KOPASKA camo would be more effective, let alone just a pixelated TNI DPM. Just my opinion.
It depends, ofcourse, of the environment. The environment on the picture is a little bit dry. In most parts of Indonesia, we have tropical forrests/climate, there is the normal TNI woodland tenue (or the pixelated Raider patern) the most effective. If a TNI soldier walks in front of, of behind a tanaman (whats the English word for it?) at 100m distance, you can only see his face and arms.

Is the PM1A1 SMG's caliber 9x21 and if so, what kind since there's the IMI version and the one used on the Russian SR-1 pistol? Thanks.
Any word on the Robocop-like assault pistol and when the SM-3 was made? I think Silent Hunter had posted an article that a working SM-3 model was displayed back in 2006?
Seems to be little word on the SPR-2/3 rifles aside from 5 rounds. And I still am LOLing on a possible 5.56 x 21 caliber for the assault pistol, unless it's a recent caliber.
PS: SPR-2 is .50 caliber and SPR-3 is 7.62 NATO

Picture of the Headquarters of Korem 121 / Alambhana Wanawai in Pontianak, Kalimantan Barat. Can someone ID the artillery pieces in front of it? It's neither the M101, nor the Mod 56 nor the LG-1 and I don't know of any other 105mm howitzers that the TNI has.
Other AK operators in TNI/Polri:
Kostrad's Tontaipur
Kostrad's Tontaipur
Polri's Brimob
ID those rifles, please.
Come, I'll take you to my grandma's house...
Those are Bulgarian rifles by a company called Arsenal.
1st pic: Arsenal AR-M1F
2nd pic The shorties left and right: Arsenal AR-SF. Middle: Arsenal AR-M1F again
Note: Despite being AK clones, the Tontaipur weapons are in 5,56x45mm NATO calibre, not in Russian calibre!
Brimob Pic: Also an Arsenal AR-M1F, but this time it is in Russian calibre 5,45x39mm! The Indonesian police obviously does not deem it necessary to use the same calibre as the military.
LOL !!
Thanks.
How do you distinguish between AR-M1F 5.56x45mm & 5.56x39mm from these pictures ?
Some says, the Police's AK rifles is made in China (doubtly called AK-2000). Comment ?
Anyone know the meaning of Senapan Bea Cukai from the Pindad SBC-1 carbine? I got Senapan, which is assault.
AFAIK the rifle is designed to be used by the customs. Bea Cukai = Customs
