| Despite concerns that the force development vision first outlined five years ago by Abdur-rahman Wahid, then president, could prove stillborn, the Indonesian Navy is expanding under Chief of Naval Staff Adm Bernard Kent.Wahid said in 1999 that his first military priority was to boost the navy's size and capabilities to better safeguard Indonesia's extensive territorial waters and maritime resources (JDW23 February 2000). Adm Sondakh has refined this view by emphasising coastal interdiction, with a concurrent push to improve troop transport capabilities in order to more effectively move personnel and equipment throughout the vast Indonesian archipelago (JDW12 November). Structural reforms proposed for the navy four years ago foresaw the creation of four regional naval commands to replace the eastern fleet based in Surabaya and the western fleet based in Jakarta. These were intended to focus more on maritime resource protection and development than on conventional naval defence missions, but the initiative was never implemented. Neither was an alternate plan to split the two fleets to form three operational commands. Adm Sondakh reversed direction by pushing for the two fleets to be merged into a single command-the Main Operations and Administration Defence Command - headquartered at Surubaya in East Java. Its creation is intended to improve efficiency by eliminating a command layer. The current status of this newest plan is unclear; some sources say the change has been implemented but not yet formalised. Regardless, one Jakarta-based analyst says: "It will be done, because the navy chief wants it. And it makes sense." Similar changes are under way in the navy's Marine Corps element, where a third brigade formation is being created. The existing strength of 13,000-15,000 is envisaged to reach some 20,000 by 2005 and expand further to 22,000 by 2009. Development of troop transport capabilities has so far centred on the acquisition last year of a 122m landing platform dock (LPD) from South Korea's Dae Sun Shipbuilding & Engineering. The navy's inventory of major amphibious vessels includes 14 landing ships. An additional four to six LPDs, at about $30 million per unit, could replace or augment these if continuing talks with Dae Sun prove successful. Singapore had earlier offered to donate five ex-US Navy County-class landing ships after they were phased out in favour of Endurance-class vessels, but the US may have blocked the transfer due to a continuing arms embargo. Patrol capabilities were bolstered late last year through contract for two 90m Sigma-variant corvettes from Schelde Naval Shipbuilding of the Netherlands, with an option for two more to be built locally. The corvettes will he fitted with MM40 Exocet anti-ship missiles and a 76mm Oto Melara main gun; Thales Naval Ned-erland will probably provide a combat system. Re-engineering has also continued for 16 ex-East German Kapiian Patimura (Parchim l)-class corvettes built some 20 years ago and obtained in 1993-95; two platforms received new Caterpillar engines in 2002 and six more are due for completion this year. Corvettes provide endurance, says one source, and patrol boats have speed. The navy now has 57 of the latter, but Adm Sondakh said on 4 September 2003 that 380 patrol boats are ideally required and that 200 additional platforms are the minimum. The PT PAL shipyard completed two Todak (PB 57)-class large patrol craft in 2000 under a contract suspended for several years after it was originally concluded in 1993. The navy awaits funding approval for a further two. Also, the shipyard is designing a new 60m patrol craft for possible production this year or next; some sources say there may be an 80m design as well. Another current programme involves a new 35m patrol boat designed and built locally, which was unveiled on 31 December 2003. Three are operational, two more are under construction at two navy-owned shipyards and 10 additional platforms should be built. The most promising recent initiative involves co-operative programmes. As part of the first of these the Riau provincial government donated a small patrol craft to the navy subsequent to an August 2003 memorandum of understanding. A second province followed suit and two or three more are considering the same step despite reservations among some legislators on its legality. On a potentially larger scale, talks were launched among several ministries and agencies late last year on developing ''multi-mission capabilities" that could involve programmes including the acquisition of patrol vessels and an upgrade for Indonesia's patchy coastal radar network. Together with the navy and air force, participants include the Ministry of Fisheries and Maritime Affairs, Customs Service, Transportation Ministry and the maritime communications section of the Communications and Information Ministry. The Fisheries Ministry, for example, could fund up to 90 patrol craft to be operated by the navy under a potential contract with PT PAL worth some $300 million. Poland and Ukraine are the shortlisted foreign partners and a pilot project involving this or other aspects of the "multi-mission solution" may be launched this year. In the area of naval aviation, five ex-Australian ASTA (GAP) Nomads obtained last year supplement the 17 already held, including six configured for maritime patrol and delivered two years ago. Most recently, five Socata Tampico four-seat light aircraft were ordered as basic trainers in January, together with a simulator under a $2.5 million contract for delivery before year-end. The navy could next pursue the acquisition of four second-hand twin-turboprop Fokker 50 maritime patrol aircraft (MPAs) offered by the manufacturer, Poland is also pitching an unknown number of MPAs, perhaps the same PZL M28.05 Skytruck with MSC-400 radar recently sold to Vietnam, and this may be sought later. This intense focus on improved control of maritime territory led a US Coast Guard assessment team to visit Indonesia in January, but it is unclear whether Jakarta's intention is to form a separate coastguard service or improve the navy's involvement in this mission. In either case, conventional maritime defence has not been forgotten. Most notably, South Korea's Daewoo Shipbuilding & Marine Engineering won a $60 million contract in December to overhaul and upgrade one of two Cakra Type 209 (1300)-class diesel-electric submarines operated by the Indonesian Navy(JDW 11 Feb 2004) (Janes Defence Weekly 7th April 2004) Robert Karniol is JDW's Asia-Pacific Editor, based in Bangkok |

| Kopasus, what assault rifle are those soldiers carrying? Looks like a combination of Kalashnikov and HK? Is it unique to Indon Army? |
| Posted by: aldon Jul 20 2004, 11:20 AM | ||
If I am not mistaken, Indonesia uses the Galil assault rifle, though I do not know what caliber they're using (7.62 or 5.56). |
| Posted by: Numbers Jul 20 2004, 11:38 AM |
I think its the Pindad SS1 5.56mm assault rifle, the Indonesians' derivative of the Belgian FN FNC. But then the FN FNC, like the Galil is also an AK-47 derivative.  |
| Posted by: aldon Jul 20 2004, 11:47 AM |
| Oh, yeah. My bad. When I saw the picture, I was thinking Galil. I forgot that the Galil IS a derivative of the FN FAL. Its probably the FAL and not a Galil, as there probably going to be issues if they buy weapons from Israel. |
| Posted by: Singa Lion Jul 21 2004, 08:27 PM |
| that is FNC indonesia make their own with licence from Belgium |
| Posted by: SharFshuTzeN Jul 27 2004, 11:41 AM |
at first glance they do look like FN FAL.... but could they be HK 33's instead? I thought the Galil is based on the Valmet which is based on the AK-47 family of rifles? |
| Posted by: Numbers Jul 27 2004, 12:47 PM |
| One thing is sure sharfs, they are all AK-47 'improvements' - proof of the AK's inherent sound design. |
| Posted by: tikmon Jul 30 2004, 01:21 PM |
| well ....i think it all a mix up...FNC 5.56 is derive from the 7.62mm version which is derived from the FN-FAL...so the lineage is i guess not connected directly to the AK series. the GALIL is derived from the AK ...as is the FINNISH VALMET ....and GALIL spawned the SOUTH AFRICAN "R" series rifle and carbines.... HK is derived from the CETME RIFLE... so are the rest of todays assault rifles/carbine...their lineage can be trace to earlier version...even the venerable AK is derived from the WERGHMACHT STG RIFLE...????....WHATEVER IT IS THE BULLETS FIRED WILL STILL KILLS IF NOT INJURED A PERSON EITHER IN PEACE OR WAR!!!!  |

| Indonesia Wants to Buy More Russian Fighter Jets — Official Indonesia, which has been placed under an arms embargo by the United States, plans to buy more fighter jets from Russia and is looking to East European nations for alternative weapons procurement, a senior Indonesian official, quoted by Reuters agency, said on Wednesday, Nov. 24. Before the embargo, about 70 percent of Indonesia’s military weaponry had been imported from the United States, with the air force especially reliant on U.S. equipment, Director-General of Strategy and Defense Sudrajat said. “In the future we are going to add more Sukhois. Hopefully the government can finance this,” said Sudrajat, referring to the Russian-manufactured fighter jet. Indonesia has four Sukhoi fighters now —- two SU-27SKs and two SU-30MKs. “But those four don’t have complete systems ... and those four amount to nothing if we don’t increase,” Sudrajat told Reuters on the sidelines of the Indo Defence international arms and defense exposition. “We hope to have one squadron, 12 to 16,” he said. Asked whether the purchase would be made next year, Sudrajat said: “We will try, if it’s possible in the budget.” Southeast Asian countries such as Thailand, Vietnam and Malaysia are key partners of Russia’s arms exporters, including the state-owned Sukhoi corporation, which produces the SU-30 fighter. An air force official said Indonesia has 12 U.S.-made F-16 jet fighters but fewer than two thirds are fully functional. http://www.mosnews.com/money/2004/11/24/indonesiajets.shtml |

| Indonesia To Cooperate With China On Producing Missiles: Report Jakarta (AFP) May 18, 2005 Indonesia will sign a cooperation agreement with China to develop missiles, a media report quoted Research and Technology Minister Kusmayanto Kadiman as saying Wednesday. An agreement was due to be signed during President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono's China visit in June or July along with other agreements on trade and investment, he reportedly told the Republika daily. The rockets, Kadiman said, would have diameters ranging from 150 to 250 milimeters and a range of between 15 and 30 kilometres. "We are a maritime country, so our state defence should start from there," Kadiman was quoted as saying. "Long-range missiles, for example, can be launched from small islands or from ships." He said under the agreement China would provide missiles for Indonesian scientists to dismantle and study, so that by the end of the cooperation term Indonesia could produce its own missiles. The report gave no further details, and the ministry of research and technology declined immediate comment. Indonesia is one of the world's largest archipelagos, with more than 17,700 islands. |

| Indonesian Air Force plans to buy 12 Russian jet fighters www.chinaview.cn 2005-06-23 19:13:25 JAKARTA, June 23 (Xinhuanet) -- The Indonesian Air Force plans to buy 12 Russia-made Sukhoi jet fighters in the next two years as an addition to the four Sukhois already in service, Air Force Chief of Staff Air Marshall Djoko Suyanto said here Thursday. The purchase deal for six Sukhois is expected to take place this year and the deal for another six will be signed in 2006, Djoko said in a hearing with the House of Representatives' commission one overseeing defense and foreign affairs. He said the purchase will cost 666.73 million US dollars. "We hope the commission one can convince the government to materialize our plan," he told the legislators. He did not elaborate which type of Sukhoi would be selected. Indonesia already bought two Sukhoi 27s and two Sukhoi 30s, all are unarmed, during the Megawati Soekarnoputri administration. On the occasion, Djoko said the Air Force would need a budget of 21.9 trillion rupiah (around 2.3 billion dollars) for fiscal year 2006, but the government has agreed only some 11 percent of the proposed budget.

| Jakarta in missile deal with Beijing By Shawn Donnan in Jakarta and Mure Dickie in Beijing Published: July 31 2005 20:24 | Last updated: July 31 2005 20:24 Indonesia is seeking China's help in reviving a 41-year-old programme to build short- and medium-range missiles that could be used to replace US fighter jets grounded by a long-running arms embargo, the country's defence minister said on Sunday. Chinese President Hu Jintao and his Indonesian counterpart, Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono, signed a series of agreements in Beijing last week meant to flesh out an April declaration that the two had formed a “strategic partnership”. According to a statement issued afterwards, one agreement called for the two countries to “intensify bilateral co-operation” in defence, “work together in developing each other's defence industries”, and for “co-operation in defence technology”. Indonesia's defence minister, Juwono Sudarsono, said on Sunday that agreement was meant to help Jakarta develop propulsion and guidance systems for land- and ship-based missiles with a range of up to 150km. The plan was a revival of proposals to develop similar missiles, he said, and was intended to help Indonesia's military diversify and end its current reliance on foreign-built fighter jets as a deterrent. “We think it's going to be cheaper to offer some kind of deterrence rather than relying on fighter planes,” Mr Sudarsono said. Six of the country's 10 F-16s are grounded as a result of a US arms embargo implemented in the 1990s because of human rights abuses by Indonesian troops in East Timor. Jakarta has in recent years turned to Russia to buy Sukhoi fighters as an alternative. Mr Sudarsono said he was not interested in Chinese fighter jets. Instead, Indonesian officials have been in contact with Chinese companies including North China Industries (Norinco), a state conglomerate, to line up help for a missile programme. Washington imposed sanctions on Norinco in 2003 for allegedly helping Iran's missile programme. Indonesia's missiles remain only an idea and any launch is at least five years away, the defence minister conceded. Efforts dating back to 1964 by Jakarta to develop missile technology have achieved little “because of mismanagement, incompetence, and inter-agency rivalry”, Mr Sudarsono said. As a result, the agreement between Beijing and Jakarta may cause little alarm in Washington. But it highlights China's growing security influence in Asia. Mr Sudarsono said he expected that within two years military relations with China would make up “40 per cent of our relations”. Chinese analysts said the “strategic partnership” agreements marked a significant step in the political warming between Beijing and Jakarta. But they added that China could be reluctant to provide much help to an Indonesian missile programme because of international agreements it has signed. |

| Indonesia's Elite Forces KOPASSUS The Special Forces Command (KOPASSUS), formerly called the Sandi Yudha Forces Command and KOPASSANDHA (which also means Special Forces Command), are trained in intelligence gathering, a variety of special operations techniques, sabotage, and airborne and seaborne landings. Founded on 16 April 1952, KOPASSUS was reorganized and reduced in size in 1985, and by 1992 KOPASSUS forces numbered some 2,500 army personnel identifiable by their distinctive red berets organized into two operational groups and one training group. By the late 1990s KOPASSUS numbered some 6,000-strong, an increase in the number of troops, but below that of 1985. Headquarters at Cijantung, East Jakarta, KOPASSUS had expanded to five Groups, with Group IV specifically handling intelligence operations along with the KOPASSUS Joint Intelligence Unit [SGI]. Circa year 2001, Kopassus reorganizes its personnels into some 5,000-strong forces. The new organization is as follows: Group 1 Para Commando (Taktakan, Serang, Banten) with 3 batallions Group 2 Para Commando (Kandang Menjangan, Kartasura, Solo) with 3 batallions Group 3 Intelligence (Cijantung, Jakarta) (1) Para Commando batallions (independent) (Semplak, Bogor) (1) HQ Detachment (Cijantung, Jakarta) (1) Unit-81 Anti-Terrorists (Cijantung, Jakarta) Pusdikpassus / Special Forces Training Center (Batujajar, Bandung) KOPASSUS is considered to be an elite force that has traditionally emphasized its small size and its quick-strike potential. It has been involved in numerous military actions in response to internal Indonesian unrest. KOPASSUS units were involved in 1981 in freeing the hostages from the "Woyla," the Garuda Airline plane hijacked by followers of Imran, leader of an Islamic splinter movement in West Java. KOPASSUS members climbed Mount Everest in 1997.          Kopassus troops from Group I conducted an urban combat training |

| SAT-81 GULTOR To anticipate the increase in potential airplane hijacking cases in the 70s and 80s, the head of Indonesian Army Strategic Intelligence Office (BAIS) formed a new detachment in the Army Special Forces (then Kopassandha). On June 30, 1982, the new unit, called Detasemen 81 (Den-81) Kopassandha, was formally established with Major Luhut B. Panjaitan as its first commander and Captain Prabowo Subianto as its first vice commander. Both of these officers had been sent to Germans GSG-9 (Grenzschutzgruppe-9) school to learn about the anti-terror techniques. These two officers then selected and trained the Den-81 troops. The desire to form Den-81 was mostly motivated by the hijacking incident of Garudas DC-9 Woyla in Don Muang Airport, Bangkok-Thailand, on March 31, 1981. The troops that involved in the operation to free Woyla became the first troops in Den-81. Later, Den-81 was changed into Unit-81 Anti-Terror (Sat-81 Gultor). From 1995-2001, Den-81 became the Group 5 Antiterror (Groups 4 Sandhi Yudha) in the Kopassus (new name for Army Special Forces) structure. Sat-81 Gultor is under the direct command of Kopassus commander in chief. Currently, this unit is led by a colonel. The recruitment process of this unit starts when the troops finish the Para and Commando programes in Batujajar, West Java. From here, they will be assigned to Group 1 and Group 2 of Kopassus for orientation or gaining combat experience. After returning from these assignments, these troops will be evaluated for further assignment to the Anti-terror unit. The Anti-terror program is conducted in Special Combat Training School in Batujajar, West Java. The most recent successful operation conducted by Sat-81 Gultor is the rescue of 26 hostages from Kelly Kwaliks terrorist group in Irian Jaya on May 15, 1996. However, Operation Woyla is still the biggest and internationally well-known operation that Indonesain Army ever experienced. Currently, there is no exact information of the number of troops in Sat-81 Gultor.              |

| YON RAIDERS (Indonesian Army Raiders Batallions) Batalyon Raiders (Raiders Battalions) were inaugurated on December 22, 2003. The first ten battalions that are Raiders-qualified were formed from eigth Kodam's (Military Territorial Command) assault infantry battalions and two Kostrad's non-airborne infantry battalions. Each Raiders battalion has a strength of 747 personnels. They receive six-month intensive education and special trainings on modern combat, anti-guerilla, and conventional war. Each battalion is trained to have the combat ability of three regular infantry battalion, like combat ambush and air mobility (i.e. jump from helicopter). To increase its combat ability, 50 personnel from each battalion will be trained further by Kopassus (Indonesian Army Special Force) on anti-terror and other special combat technique. The ten new Raiders battalion are: Yonif Linud 100 Bukit Barisan becomes Yonif 100/Raider Kodam Bukit Barisan; Yonif 145/Bhakti Nagara becomes Yonif 200/Raider Kodam Sriwijaya; Yonif 327 becomes Yonif 300/Raider Kodam Siliwangi; Yonif 401 Banteng Raider becomes Yonif 400/Raider Kodam Diponegoro; Yonif 507/Sikatan becomes Yonif 500/Raider Kodam Brawijaya; Yonif Linud 612/Modang becomes Yonif 600/Raider Kodam Tanjungpura; Yonif Linjud 700 Wira Yudha Sakti becomes Yonif 700/Raider Kodam Wirabuana; Yonif 741/ Satya Bhakti becomes Yonif 900/Raider Kodam Udayana; Yonif 323/ Buaya Putih Kostrad becomes Yonif 232/Raider divisi 1 Kostrad; Yonif 412/Bharata Eka Sakti Kostrad menjadi Yonif 412/Raider divisi 2 Kostrad.     |

| KOSTRAD (Komando Strategis Cadangan Angkatan Darat) KOSTRAD [Army Strategic Reserve Command], which has between 25,000 and 26,000 troops, supervises operational readiness among all commands and conducts defense and security operations at the strategic level in accordance with policies of the ABRI commander. KOSTRAD came into being when Indonesia was dealing with the liberation of West Irian in 1960, and was formally constitued on 06 March 1961. Initially designated the Army General Reserve Corps, its name was changed to KOSTRAD in 1963. These green-beret troops have never been absent from the various military operations, such as G-30-S/PKI [30 September Movement/Indonesian Communist Party], Trisula, the PGRS [Sarawak People's Guerrilla Force] in Sarawak, the PARAKU [North Kalimantan People's Force] in North Kalimantan, and Operation Seroja in East Timor. KOSTRAD troops have also been relied on at the international level, as was the case with Garuda troops in Egypt (1973-78) and Vietnam (1973-75) and with those in the combined peace force in the midst of the Iran-Iraq war of 1989 and 1990. In 1984 the PANGKOSTRAD became responsible to the ABRI commander for the conduct of combat operations, called defense and security operations. At present, KOSTRAD has a strength of some 35,000 to 40,000 army personnel with two infantry divisions: the 1st Division, headquartered at Cilodong, West Java, and the 2d Division, headquartered at Malang, East Java. Each of the divisions contains airborne and infantry brigades. KOSTRAD also includes a separate airborne brigade; one cavalry brigade; two field artillery regiments; and several combat support and service support units.

| Indonesian Navy Special Forces Korps Marinir Born on November 15, 1945, the Marine Corps (Kormar) is the Indonesian Navys ground troops. The corps has the duties of, offensively, being the main forces in amphibious combat operations and, defensively, being the quick reaction forces in emergency situation to defend the beach fronts from enemys invasion. Kormar has been active in various military operations in Indonesia. One of the biggest amphibious military operation was Operation Jayawijaya in which thousands of marines landed in West Irian in the early 60s as a part of Trikora campaign to free West Irian from Dutch occupation. In 1999 a plan was proposed to expand the Kormar from the current strength of 13,000 personnels. Based on this plan, every Kormars base will have three combat brigades: the Infantry, Cavalry, and Artillery and will be supported by one Combat Support Regiment and one Administration Support Regiment. The expansion will create three Kormar bases: Surabaya for Eastern area command, Jakarta for Central area command, and Rate Island in Lampung for Western area command. The expansion also will increase the strength of Kormar to 23,000 personnels.        Marines in jungle war training  Marines attacking Aceh's beach in 2003.

| YONTAIFIB (Batalyon Intai Amfibi) Yontaifib is an elite unit in the Marine Corps, just like Kopassus in the Army. This unit is used to be named Kipam (Komando Intai Para Amfibi - Amphibious Reconnaissance Special Forces Command). To obtain a certification of amphibious reconnaissance, a regular Marine has to first pass a tough selection and then pass the nine-month rigorous training program that contains the most difficlut curriculum. Thus, this amphibious recon certificate is very similar to commando certificate in Kopassus. To become a Yontaifib troop, a candidate is selected from the Marine Corps who has already fulfilled the thorough mental and physical requirements, and who at least has actively served the corps for two years. The certification of amphibious reconnaissance is so difficult that the passing rate of these candidates in each class is only ten percent. One of the most challenging exercise in this certification program is to swim underwater for three kilometers with the hands and feet are all tied. Because they are tied, the swimmer has to mimic the way dolphins swim. This swimming style is a training for anticipation of being caught by the enemies and trying to escape by swimming in the river or sea. The escape experience by U.S. Navy Seal members in the Vietnam War is the basis for this training.  Taifib troops in a reconnaissance operation from sea.

| DENJAKA (Detasemen Jala Mengkara) The history of Jala Mengkara Detachment (Denjaka) started on November 4, 1982 when the Indonesian Navy Chief of Staff formed a unit called Navy Special Forces (Pasusla). The existence of Pasusla was urgently needed to counter the terrorism activities in the sea. In the initial phase, 70 personnels from Amphibious Reconnaissance Unit and Underwater Special Unit were recruited to form Pasusla. The trainings for this new unit was under the command of Western Fleet commander with the assistance from the Marine Corps commander. The Navy chief of staff was the operational commander for Pasusla. Western Fleet Command Headquarter became the units base. Upon further development of this unit, Navy chief of staff requested Indonesian Armed Forces commander to form Denjaka. The armed forces commander agreed to this request and since then Denjaka became the Naval Anti-Terror Unit. According to Navy chief of staff direction, Denjaka is a Marines special unit that has the responsibilities to be capable to conduct anti-terror, anti-sabotages, and naval clandestine operations under direct command of armed forces commander. Denjaka recruitment process started after the conclusion of Para and Commando trainings. Before enrolling in Denjaka training, the troop must have been qualified to become an amphibious surveillance unit member. In its operation, this special forces unit must be able to reach the operational target via sea, underwater, or airborne. This unit has been conducting several joint-practices with the US Navy SEAL teams.          |

| KOPASKA (Komando Pasukan Katak) Kopaska was formed on March 31 1962 by President Sukarno to help his campaign in Irian Jaya. In that campaign they were ordered to be human torpedoes similar to Japanese 'kamikaze' troops. In doing so they rode the torpedo, guided it until hit the enemy's ship. KOPASKA is heavily influenced by the early U.S. Navy Underrwater Demoliton Teams (UDT) and modern Navy SEAL Teams. This foundation was built when early KOPASKA members were sent to the United States for training with the UDTs. That tradition continues today as each year a few men from the unit travel to Coronado, California and Norfolk, Virginia to participate in SEAL training. Today, the unit strength is approximately 300 men, divided into two groups. One is attached to western fleet, based in Jakarta and the other one is attached to eastern fleet, based in Surabaya, East Java. Their main duty is underwater demolition which consists of raiding enemy's ships and bases, destroying main underwater installations, beach reconnaissance, prisoner snatches, and preparing beaches for larger naval amphibious operations. In peace time the unit deployes seven man teams to serve as security personnel for VIPs. Primary among these duties are the escort and personal security of the Indonesian president and vice president. They are also responsible for limited search-and-rescue duties and have deployed as part of United Nations peace forces. Recruitment for the unit is held once a year and draws exclusively on navy personnel (not from the marines). The maximum age of recruits are no more than 30 years. The length of recruitment is seven months. Usually from 700-1500 men who signed up only 15-20 men will pass the initial selection. After the selection the men who pass will undergo four-phase continual training. The first phase of this is one week of physical training (Hell Week), the second phase is basic underwater training, the third phase is commando training, and the fourth phase is parachute training. In the end from 15-20 men, usually only five or six make it and become Kopaska.          |

| PASKHAS (Komando Pasukan Khas Angkatan Udara) The Indonesian Air Force (IAF)has its own elite unit, called Air Force Special Forces Corps (Paskhas). Just like any other elite unit in the Army and Navy, Paskhas is the ground combat unit that is capable to operate on land, sea, and air. The difference is that Paskhas is trained to conquer and defend air fields from enemy, and then prepare the air fields to be able to facilitate friendly airplanes to land. This capability is called Front Air Fields Establishment and Management Operation. The history of Paskhas as the first airborne unit is almost as old as the Republic of Indonesia. Airborne infiltration operation by 14 paratroopers on October 17, 1947 in Kotawaringin, Kalimantan, is marked as the birth date of Paskhas. In the early years of Indonesian Air Force (established on April 9, 1946), these airborne unit is called Air Field Defense Unit (PPP). In April 1952, the Quick-Reaction Unit (PGT) was also established to strengthen the IAF. As of 1952, the IAF ground units consisted of PPP, PGT, and PSU (Air Defense Unit). On October 15, 1962, PPP and PGT were organized into Air Fields Defense Command (Koppau). Later on May 17, 1966, Koppau was renamed to Quick-Reaction Troops Command (Kopasgat). There were three Kopasgat regiments, each located in Bandung, Jakarta and Surabaya. Kopasgat was transfromed into Special Forces Center in 1985 before became Paskhas on July 7, 1997 based on the official decision of Indonesian Armed Forces Commander. Today Paskhas has a strength of 3,000 personnels. The limited financial support from the government is the biggest challenge to modernize this unit. Each Paskhas personnel is only equipped with SS-1 attack rifle, while the Bravo Detachment Anti-Terrorist Unit is only equipped with additional Scorpion light automatic rifles. There is a plan to expand Paskhas unit into 10 Squadron with twice as many personnels as what they are today. Until today, the placement of Paskhas still follows the organization of IAF weapon system, in particular the combat and support-combat airplanes. In other words, wherevere there is an IAF squadron, ideally there is a Paskhas squadron as the airfield defense unit.      |

| DEN BRAVO-90 (Detasemen Bravo-90) Detasemen Bravo 90 (Bravo-90 Detachment) is the newest unit in the Indonesian Special Forces groups. Bravo, which means the best, was formed in limited ways within the Air Force Special Forces Corps (Kopaskhasau). The concept of this unit follows General Guilio Douchets war strategy: it is easier and more effective to destroy enemys air power by destroying its ground installations and armories than by conducting air combats. Based on this thinking, Bravo 90 is directed to perform intelligence in support of air operations, neutralize all enemys potential air power, and other special operations as instructed by the Armed Forces Commander. Initially, there were 34 personnels in Bravo: 1 commanding officer, 3 group commander, and 30 troops. No information ever released about this unit from its limited formation until the end of 1990s. In this vacuum era, it is believed that its members were assigned into Kopaskhasaus Demonstration and Training Unit (Satdemolat). It was September 9, 1999 this special forces detachment was formally established. Bravos personnels were recruited from the best graduates of Para-Commando trainings in the Air Force. About 5-10 graduates are recruited for this elite unit. To train its anti-terror techniques, the unit also trains at Armys Sat-81 Gultor GMF facility for airplane hostage rescue trainings, Navys Denjaka facility for off-shore airfields infiltration and attack trainings, Navys Kopaska facility for underwater demolition trainings, and Polices Gegana facility for anti-bomb unit trainings.    |

| Indonesian Police Special Forces Brigade Mobil Polisi Republik Indonesia One of the oldest Indonesian National Police units was the Mobile Brigade, formed in late 1945. It was originally assigned the tasks of disarming remnants of the Japanese Imperial Army and protecting the chief of state and the capital city. It fought in the revolution, and its troops took part in the military confrontation with Malaysia in the early 1960s and in the conflict in East Timor in the mid-1970s. In 1981 the Mobile Brigade spawned a new unit called the Explosive Ordnance Devices Unit. In 1992 the Mobile Brigade was essentially a paramilitary organization trained and organized on military lines. It had a strength of about 12,000. The brigade was used primarily as an elite corps for emergencies, aiding in police operations that required units to take quick action. The unit was employed in domestic security and defense operations and was issued special riot-control equipment. They were trained to deal with mass demonstrations. Since the May 1998 upheaval, PHH (Pasukan Anti Huru-Hara, Anti Riot Unit) have received special anti-riot training. Elements of the force were also trained for airborne operations.    |

| GEGANA (Resimen Gegana) Gegana is the Indonesian Police special unit. This unit was formed in 1976 as a detachment. Later in 1995, with the expansion of Brimob, the Gegana Detachment was expanded to become 2nd Regiment Brimob. Its duties are anti-terror, search and rescue (SAR), and explosive disposal operations. In general, each Gegana personnel is capable to perform those duties. However, there are selected few who are very skillful in these special duties. Gegana does not have Batalyon or Company. Regiment is broken down into several detachment. Within detachment there are several sub-detachment (sub-den), and within sub-den there are several units. Each unit usually consists of 10 personnels. One sub-den consists of 40 personnels, and one detachment consists of about 280 personnels. One operation is usually assigned to one unit. Therefore, from the 10 personnels in that unit, six have to have the special skills: two for disposing explosives, two for SAR operation, and two for anti-terror operation. In each operation, the two experts become Operator One and Operator Two while the rest of the unit members become the Support Team. skills, ability to negotiate, and an expert in storm-and-arrest operations. These skills and operations are not lethal because the first goal of every Gegana operation is to arrest suspects and bring them to the court. Unless there is a situation that Gegana has to do otherwise, there will be no shooting. In SAR operation, the personnels are required to have the basic capabilities of diving, rappeling, shooting, and first aid. In anti-bomb operation, the Operators have to be the expert in their fields. Each Gegana personnel has been introduced to various types of bombs in general, including the risks of handling them. There are specific procedures for handling each bomb, including the required timing. Currently, Gegana has three Explosive Ordinance Disposal (EOD) tactical vehicles. This number is far from sufficient because ideally each Gegana unit is supposed to have one. Other then three EOD vehicles at Gegana offices, there is one EOD vehicle in West Java Police Department (PD), Central Java PD, and East Java PD. So, overall there is only six EOD unit available in Indonesia. The Indonesian Police Chief has the highest command in each Gegana operation, executed by his Operation Assitant.

| DETASEMEN 88 (Indonesian Police's Detachment 88) Detachment 88, or Delta 88, is a nickname given to the newly anti-terror special force unit formed within Indonesian Police (Polri). According to Brig. Gen. Pranowo, the Indonesian Police Headquarter Anti-Terror Director, the number '88' is taken from the largest number of casualties suffered by a country in the Bali bombings incidents. In that incident, 88 Australians lost their lives. The number '88' also has some other meanings. The number '8' represents continuity since this number does not show the beginning and the end like other numbers. The number '8' also looks like police handcuffs. These two symbolic explanation depict the mentality of Detachment 88 that is very seious to work continuously to solve the terrorism-related cases. This special unit is being funded by the US government through its State Department's Diplomatic Security Service. The unit is currently being trained in Megamendung, 50 kilometers south of Jakarta, by CIA, FBI, and US Secret Service. Most of these instructors were ex-US special forces personnels. Detachment 88 is designed to become an anti-terrorist unit that is capable to counter various terrorists' threats, from bomb threats to hostage situations. This 400-personnels strong special force is expected to be fully operative in 2005. They consist of investigators, explosive experts, and attack unit that includes snipers. Detachment 88 is equipped with US weaponry and assault vehicles, such as Colt M-4 assault rifles, Armalite AR-10 sniper rifles, and Remington 870 shotguns. It is reported, although has not been confirmed yet, that this unit will have its own C-130 Hercules military transport airplane to increase its mobility. All the equipments, including their training materials, reportedly are exactly the same as those of US anti-terrorist units.  Detachment-88 recruits listening to their US instructor.       |

| Indonesia Buy Two Battlefield Radar from Bharat Electronics By Endonesia Wednesday, February 09, 2005 07:56:20 173 clicks Bharat Electronics Ltd has started exporting Battlefield Surveillance Radar (BFSR) to Indonesia and Sudan, informed company sources. Bangalore, ANI -- Bharat Electronics Ltd has started exporting Battlefield Surveillance Radar (BFSR) to Indonesia and Sudan, informed company sources. The public sector defence equipment major aims to achieve a total business of 15 million dollars this fiscal. ''We have signed a contract with Sudan for 10 radars and for Indonesia we have delivered two BFSR's,'' said Y.Gopal Rao, the Chairman of BEL. Rao also informed that BEL had registered a total export of nine million dollars during 2003-04. The short range BFSR is a radar developed indigenously by the Bangalore-based Electronics and Radar Development Establishment (LRDE), a DRDO unit, and manufactured by BEL. The company bagged 5.51 billion worth order for supply of 1,176 units of BFSR (SR) for the Indian Army. ''We delivered the two BFSR to Indonesia even before we started delivering the radar to the Army,'' Rao said. In addition, the other contracts signed during this year include a Rs 10 crore deal to supply solar modules to Sudan an 1.8 million dollars order for building solar traffic signal system for Surinam. ''There has been serious efforts to improve our exports in both defence and civilian products,'' he said. Nearly 73 per cent of the company's business is from defence, and the rest is from the civilian side both in domestic and overseas markets. ''Two third of our revenues come from products developed indigenously by BEL, DRDO and other labs,'' Rao said. BEL has set a revenue target of over Rs 32 billion in 2004-05 as against revenues of Rs 27.98 billion in the last fiscal. © ani |

| Indonesian Navy, Lapan to Produce Missiles By Endonesia Tuesday, February 08, 2005 04:26:06 224 clicks The Indonesian Navy and the NationalAeronautics and Space Agency (Lapan) signed a memorandum of understanding on Monday to develop missile to reduce the dependency on foreign weapons. Jakarta, Antara -- The Indonesian Navy and the NationalAeronautics and Space Agency (Lapan) signed a memorandum of understanding on Monday to develop missile to reduce the dependency on foreign weapons. ''We are very dependent on foreign weapons. It is very harmful not to be able to operate our weapons just because we are under an embargo,'' Navy Chief of Staff Adm. Bernard Kent Sondakh said. ''The missiles will be for defensive purposes only,'' he added. Lapan chief Mahdi Kartasasmita said the early stages of the development process would make use Lapan's expertise in rocketry. Lapan launched its first rocket, the Kartika, on Aug. 14, 1964, under the tutelage of then president Sukarno. ''We expect to launch the missile from a naval warship in 2006 if everything goes as planned,'' he said on the sidelines of the signing. The Rp 25 billion (US$2.7 million) national missile program will produce a surface-to-surface missile with a range of 20 nautical miles and equipped with a steel-piercing warhead. Bernard expects the venture also to involve Indonesia's other defense-related companies, including airplane maker PT Dirgantara Indonesia, arms maker PT Pindad, the National Institute of Sciences and the National Electronics Board. The U.S. slapped an embargo to Indonesia following the Santa Cruz, East Timor, massacre in 1992. It tightened the embargo following violence in East Timor following the 1999 independence referendum there. Great Britain followed suit. While the embargo is mostly aimed at the Army, the Air Force and Navy have also suffered. © ant |

| Indonesia to produce missiles with China 15:42 AEST Thu Sep 1 2005AAP AP - Indonesia is considering jointly producing short-range missiles with China, the defence minister said, while expressing hope that Washington would further ease restrictions on military-to-military ties. Juwono Sudarsono said all but four of Indonesia's F-16 fighter planes have been grounded since the United States cut military contacts with Jakarta six years ago, describing that as barely enough "to provide an adequate deterrent force." He said he was fairly optimistic the US Congress would soon make it possible for Indonesia to get the spare parts required to repair five or six of its grounded planes. In the meantime, Indonesia is considering jointly producing short-range missiles with China after 2009 that "we hope will be able to support our military defences," he said in an interview. "We are planning for about 10 to 15 missiles" with a range of 150 to 200 kilometres, the defence chief said. The missiles would be placed on several Indonesian islands "to create some credible defence," he said, adding that the sprawling archipelago is also looking at India as a possible source of military supplies. The US Congress cut military contacts with Jakarta in 1999 when Indonesian soldiers were blamed for widespread killing in East Timor after the territory voted for independence. The Bush administration wants the ban lifted, arguing that Washington should be supporting the world's most populous Muslim nation and a key battleground in its fight on terror. Sudarsono said at present Indonesia is looking at Ukraine and Russian, and possibly China, for strike aircraft design. "But we would prefer to maintain and revive our relationship with the US, because the F-16 is basically the standard of most ASEAN countries," he said. He said Indonesia also needs more C-130 transport planes, "not only to move troops within the country ... but also to ferry assistance for national or man-made disasters." The US and Indonesian militaries worked side by side in the aftermath of the December 26 tsunami distributing emergency food and water and rescuing survivors in the hard-hit province of Aceh on Sumatra Island. In addition, several joint programs and training exercises between the two forces have been held over the last two years and limited sales of military equipment to Indonesia are now also permitted. But Congress and human rights groups have rejected full normalisation because of the failure of Indonesia to punish anyone in connection with the killings in East Timor and concerns about human rights abuses by the military. ©AAP 2005 |

| Indonesian Boeing 737-2X9/Advance Surveiller Indonesia operates 3 Boeing 737-2X9 Surveiller equipped with the Motorola Sideways Looking Airborne Modular Multi-mission Radar (SLAMMR). The aircraft are easily identified by the two radar antennae which are mounted on the rear fuselage in two canoe-shaped radomes. The aircraft (AI-7301, AI-7302 and AI-7303) are operated by Skwadron Udara 5 (SkU 5) based at Hasanuddin on maritime reconnaissance duties but are also believed to have a significant SIGINT capability.   Aug 13 1993 Boeing Co. delivers upgraded surveillance aircraft SEATTLE (AUG. 13) PR NEWSWIRE - The following was released today by Boeing Defense and Space Group: Boeing Defense & Space Group is redelivering an upgraded 737-200 Surveiller aircraft to the Indonesian Air Force today after significantly enhancing its airborne maritime patrol avionics system. This is the first of three Indonesian Surveiller aircraft that Defense & Space Group is upgrading under a four-year, $117 million contract. "The maritime patrol avionics suite Boeing has developed and installed on the Surveiller airplane is a low-cost, highly capable system that will perform its mission with accuracy," said Gary Ammerman, 737 Surveiller program manager for Boeing. The 737 Surveiller program is a cooperative venture between Boeing, the Indonesian Air Force, and BPPT/IPTN, Indonesia's government-owned aircraft manufacturer. "We have trained and job-shared with nearly 100 Indonesians -- including technicians, mechanics, inspectors, planners, and hardware and software engineers -- in the course of executing this contract," Ammerman said. "Although there were significant language, cultural, professional and business-approach differences, we have maintained a mutual spirit of professionalism, teamwork and respect for each other's views." The remaining two aircraft will be modified at BPPT/IPTN's facility in Bandung, Indonesia, with a Boeing team on site to help with that effort. Modification work on the second aircraft began this spring. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Surveillance with Indons AN AIR Force Orion and an Indonesia Air Force B737 Surveiller will be part of a combined maritime aerial surveillance exercise held in the Timor Sea in April 2005. The activity will mark the resumption of the Albatros Ausindo series of exercises that were conducted between 1997 and 1999. The exercise will involve air assets only to be used to locate and identify vessels at sea. Both aircraft will be airborne concurrently, the Surveiller operating at medium to high altitude and the Orion operating at lower altitudes. They will share their information to build up a surveillance picture. More detailed planning and scenario building will not occur until later this year. Wing Commander Craig Meighan, the Deputy Director International Engagements, said the exercise would provide an opportunity to improve interoperability and information exchange between Australia and Indonesia’s maritime air surveillance forces and build personal rapport between the two defence forces. “Maritime surveillance is of vital interest to both Australia and Indonesia as maritime countries and as a result both Air Forces agreed to a resumption of activities that aimed to build relationships and enhance professional exchanges,” WGCDR Meighan said. “We anticipate this exercise will occur regularly in the future, although no discussion on possible frequency has occurred yet,” he said. |

| AFX News Limited http://www.forbes.com/finance/feeds/afx/2005/09/22/afx2238282.html Indonesian delegation in Russia to look at fighters, missiles 09.22.2005, 08:23 AM JAKARTA (AFX) - Indonesian defence officials are in Russia scouting for a wide range of weapons to upgrade its poorly-equipped and embargo-hit armed forces, officials said. Indonesian ambassador to Moscow Susanto Pujomartono told Agence France-Presse by telephone that a 16-member delegation led by Air Force Vice-Marshal Pieter Wattimena is in Russia. Among the weapons being discussed are Sukhoi jet fighters, Susanto said. Air Force chief Marshal Chappy Hakim has said the air force would like eight more Sukhois to add to the four purchased under the previous government of former president Megawati Sukarnoputri. Defence ministry sources, who declined to be named, said Indonesia is also looking at buying infantry fighting vehicles, armored personnel carriers, ship-borne cruise missiles, frigates and submarines. The heads of the Indonesian air force and the navy have already made separate recent visits to Russia, said the sources who requested anonymity because they did not have official permission to talk on the subject. Susanto said the delegation is officially in Russia to attend a commission on technical military cooperation set up earlier by the two governments. The armed forces have been looking for new suppliers to get around Western restrictions on military sales. Indonesia's air force fleet, primarily US and British aircraft, has been hard hit by a US arms embargo. The US imposed an arms embargo on Indonesia in November 1991 after Indonesian military massacred pro-independence protesters in East Timor. The sanctions were tightened in 1999 after militias backed by the Indonesian army killed about 1,400 people before and after East Timor voted for independence from Jakarta. But the US is keen to restore full military ties with the world's largest Muslim nation to assist its global 'war on terror'. Washington in February decided to resume training members of Indonesia's armed forces but restrictions on weapons supply remain. 'We hope that Moscow can provide soft credits if we buy weapons and other military equipment from Russia,' Wattimena was quoted by the state Antara news agency as saying before his departure for Moscow. 'We have long cooperated with the military in Russia. We have a long history of this and we are certain that the prospect for the future is bright,' he was quoted as saying. During his visit Wattimena, the Defence Ministry's Director General for Armaments, has visited military installations as well as weapons manufacturers, Susanto said. bs/it/ag/zr |

Australia's nearest neighbour is negotiating to buy 48 advanced Sukhoi fighter jets, attack submarines, tanks and sophisticated surface-to-air missile systems. Indonesia's generals have turned to Russia as a major supplier, after being banned from buying US weapons in 1991. Indonesia is cash-strapped but hopes Russia will offer cheap loans to buy the weapons and accept deals for oil and food. Defence analysts say the Sukhois are arguably more advanced than Australia's F/A-18s and F1-11s -- and even a match for the proposed Joint Strike Fighter. A 16-member delegation of Indonesian defence officials visited Moscow this week, led by Air Vice Marshal Pieter Wattimena. He told Indonesia's Antara news agency Indonesia had a long history of co-operation with Russia. "The prospect for the future is bright," he said. A leading Australian defence expert, Aldo Borgu, said Indonesia's proposed military purchases could pose a threat to Australia. "If they bought 48 Sukhois, that would be of concern," he said. "I have no doubt they want to upgrade their forces. They want to protect their claims to their maritime boundaries." A senior lecturer in international relations at the Australian National University, Dr Michael McKinley, said Indonesia's military was traditionally focused on maintaining internal security. But with the problems of East Timor gone and Aceh fading, Indonesia's generals want to modernise their forces. "People are saying there is an arms race in Asia," he said. "If it is an arms race, then that's a problem because there is very good research showing that about 80 per cent of arms races result in war." A federal government parliamentary committee is set to investigate Australia's declining combat edge against Asian air forces. Australia plans to buy up to 100 new-generation Joint Strike Fighters, the F35, but the total could fall well short of that as costs blow out. |

| Time is GMT + 8 hours Posted: 08 November 2005 1404 hrs Indonesian military ordered to reinstate surveillance: report http://www.channelnewsasia.com/stories/afp_asiapacific/view/177524/1/.html JAKARTA : Indonesia's military chief General Endriartono Sutarto has officially ordered the revival of a much-criticised community-based intelligence system to be used to fight terrorism, a report said. Known by its local acronym Koter, the system was scrapped after the fall of former president Suharto but a plan to revive it was hastily drawn up after October 1 triple suicide bombings on the resort island of Bali, which killed 20. Under the system, thousands of non-commissioned officers known as Babinsa act as the government's eyes and ears at village level, looking for suspicious activities. "I recently issued circulars to all regional military commands, asking them to reinstate Babinsa," Endriartono was quoted as saying by the Jakarta Post. "They don't have the authority to make arrests, but to tap information from people," he said. He did not say when their work would begin. The military says about 37,000 non-commissioned military officers are ready to take part in the Koter system across Indonesia, including about 1,000 in the capital Jakarta alone. Activists have already warned that the return to the system, used during the iron-fisted three-decade rule of Suharto to quash all forms of dissent, threatens to harm democracy and lead to human rights abuses. Endriartono reportedly brushed off such fears. "The military is involved in the war on terror to back up the police with necessary information, so that we can prevent any acts of terrorism as early as possible," he was quoted as saying. "We have to make use of our resources to support the police. Terrorism is a big problem for all of us." Anti-terrorism activities have traditionally been the territory of the nation's police force and intelligence services, while the military has been limited to assisting police when required. The government argues that reintroducing the Koter system would strengthen the information gathering work of police and the national intelligence agency. In another move allowing the military greater involvement in counter-terrorism, anti-terrorism desks have reportedly been set up at regional army commands to liaise with police on the issue. Local media reported at the weekend that the desks were established on November 1. They have the power to detain people suspected of terrorist activities but must then immediately hand them to police. - AFP/ir AFP text, photos, graphics and logos shall not be reproduced, published, broadcast, rewritten for broadcast or publication or redistributed directly or indirectly in any medium.

| USA Will Continue Restricting Arms Trade With Indonesia Posted 22-Nov-2005 08:25 The U.S. Congress has voted to maintain restrictions on U.S. military aid to Indonesia, in an effort to force the country to take further steps to improve its army's respect for human rights. The House of Representatives was willing to remove the restrictions, but the Senate was not, and the Senate's view prevailed when members of the two bodies met to negotiate a compromise. The decision ran counter to a request from the Bush administration to eliminate the restrictions, complicates the Indonesian military's efforts to modernize, and blunts a campaign that has been underway since 2001 to lift the restrictions. While progress has been acknowledged, the thrust of the congressional requirements is for Indonesia to [1] prosecute soldiers who committed human rights violations in East Timor in 1999, [2] cooperate with international investigations of what happened in East Timor, and [3] improve civilian control of the military. A requirement for help in the global war on terrorism inserted last year has been dropped, as improvement has been seen in that area. Indonesia is a significant base of operations for al-Qaeda in Southeast Asia. Until the Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice to confirm to Congress that the conditions have been met. Until then, Indonesia can only buy "non-lethal" military equipment from the United States. The law does give the secretary of state the option of waiving the conditions if she asserts that U.S. national security interests are at stake, but such waivers would be likely to become a political issue. |

i think it's not going to be a problem for them, some of the photo shown they already start buying non-american stuff (british, germany and Australia made included), indonesian may already buy the chinese SSM. i think other countries are doing the same thing, if i'm not mistaken venezuela just ordered chinese made radar to replace their american ones. i think it's most encouraging to see others doing likewise. |

| Indonesia to Buy Hercules Planes By AGENCE FRANCE-PRESSE, JAKARTA http://defensenews.com/story.php?F=1376027&C=airwar Indonesia said Nov. 25 it wanted to buy more U.S.-made Hercules planes to boost its capacity to provide disaster relief, days after Washington said it was lifting a ban on military sales here. About 70 percent of next year’s armed forces budget will be allocated to buy more of the C-130 transport planes to bolster six other planes now used for military transport and relief efforts, said Defense Minister Juwono Sudarsono. ”In the next five to 10 years, what we need to prioritize is buying more Hercules planes ... which can also be used for relief efforts,” Sudarsono said after holding talks with U.S. ambassador Lynn Pascoe. Washington on Wednesday lifted its foreign military financing ban on Indonesia, a move described by President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono as a “new chapter” in strategic relations between the two countries. The lifting of the ban followed the resumption of U.S. international military education and training and foreign military sales for Indonesia in February and in May this year. US military dealings with Indonesia have been restricted since 1991 when Jakarta’s forces launched a bloody crackdown on pro-independence protesters in East Timor. Sanctions were tightened after a new wave of violence there in 1999. Sudarsono said Indonesia needed to buy “as many (Hercules) as possible” since now only six out of 24 planes purchased in the past are in operation. Three of the six planes were heavily used for relief efforts during last December’s earthquake-triggered tsunami in Aceh province that left at least 131,000 people dead in Aceh, and a major quake which hit Nias island off Sumatra in March. The other three were put back into operation after May’s lifting of the foreign military sales ban following purchases of spare parts. Sudarsono also hinted that Indonesia could buy more F-5 and F-16 jet fighters from Washingtonbut the program “will have to be adjusted with our main defense system program and our budget.” ---CN-235s not enough, or just lacks range and load capacity of a C-130? |

| Nov 29 17:32 Indonesia to Retract Jetfighters Components Held by U.S. Embargo Jakarta (ANTARA News) - The Indonesian Air Force will soon retract some warplane components which have been held in some countries like New Zealand, South Korea and the United States as a consequence of the US military embargo on Indonesia imposed six years ago, its chief of staff Marshal Djoko Suyanto said here Tuesday. The decision was made in a bid to prioritize efforts to improve the readiness of such jetfighters as F-5s and F-16s from 40 percent to an average of 70 percent in the next three years, he said after the commemoration of the 34th anniversary of the civil servants corps (Korpri) which was held at the TNI AU headquarters. However, he said, the plan totally depends on the availability of funds needed to improve the Indonesian Air Force s weaponry system notably jetfighters. Djoko said there was no problem with the components in spite of the embargo. "We always check the condition of the components every time. So there is no problem with that," he said. Meanwhile, Planning Assistant to the Air Force Chief of Staff Rear Marshal Supriyanto said the components being held overseas including bodies and wings of F-5s, as well as Hawk 109 and Hawk 209 were repaired in the U.S. He also said the engines of A4-Skyhawk and F-16 were also detained in New Zealand and South Korea. The United States lifted the six-year arms embargo on Indonesia last Nov 23 to help the predominantly Muslim nation fight terrorism. (*) LKBN ANTARA Copyright © 2005 Terms of Use |

| F5 and F16 Revived, Sukhoi Program Continues Friday, 02 December, 2005 | 22:55 WIB TEMPO Interactive, Jakarta:The revoking of the military embargo by the US government has compelled the Indonesian defense department to prioritize the reviving of F5 and F16 aircraft that were previously unable to fly due to the embargo of spare parts. “We can fly two combat planes a year so that by 2009, it will be possible to fly10 F16s,” said Minister of Defense Juwono Sudarsono. This priority was taken by considering the use of a limited budget. The revoking of the US embargo will open opportunities for Indonesia to purchase F5 and F16 spare parts. For the establishment of spare parts of US planes, the Indonesian defense department is reviewing the budget to be allocated through the Export Loan and State Budget. For the Indonesian Military Air Force, the available budget amounts to US$350 million per year. “We will calculate the export amount for fighter and transportation aircraft and how much will be allocated through the State Budget in pure rupiah,” stated Sudarsono. The program to purchase Sukhoi aircraft will continue. “We don’t know whether or not the military embargo will be imposed again next year,” stated Sudarsono. He targeted the defense department to purchase two more Sukhoi planes every year. Currently, Indonesia has had four Sukhoi aircraft. If the budget is available until 2009, Indonesia will be able to purchase eight additional Sukhois. (Fanny and Eko Paniansyah-Tempo News Room) |

| Jordan offers used F-5 jet fighters to Indonesia Jordan has offered a number of US- made jet fighters F-5 Tigers to the Indonesian Military as a grant, a senior official said Thursday. [COLOR=red]"Jordan has offered a grant of F-5 jet fighters and military vehicles that can be used by the Army and the Air Force. Basically, we accept the offer," Minister of Defense Juwono Sudarsono told reporters at his office here. He made the remarks shortly after a meeting with visiting Jordanian Military Chief General Khalid Jamil. Juwono said the offer came to Indonesia as the Jordanian government is rejuvenating its weaponry system, but the number of the offered jets and vehicles has not been made available. The F-5 was developed with air-to-ground role by the US Military in 1962. Most country users have grounded the aging F-5 nowadays. Source: Xinhua |

| Indonesian navy to buy U.S. harpoon missiles JAKARTA, Dec. 5 (Xinhuanet) -- The Indonesian Navy plans to buy Harpoon missiles from the United States, following the US decision to lift its military embargo on Indonesia on Nov. 22, Navy chief of staff, Admiral Slamet Soebijanto said. "Harpoon missiles are for warships. The number of the missiles and when it will be bought would still have to be discussed further," Slamet said on the sidelines of a ceremony marking the Navy's founding anniversary in Surabaya, the second largest city in the country, Monday. The Indonesian Navy would also discuss Indonesia's need for other military hardware after the U.S. government lift the military embargo, Antara news agency Tuesday quoted the navy chiefas saying. "These missiles are as powerful as Exocet MM 38 missiles which could hit targets 80 to 100 kilometers away. We have the launchers, but have not been using them in the last five years," budget and planning assistant to the Navy chief of staff, Maj.Gen Yussuf Solichien said. The Indonesian Navy also plans to buy Russian Yakhount missilesin 2006 for its two frigates which can hit targets 300 kilometers away. "The Harpoon missile purchases for five frigates might be materialized in 2007. The purchase of the more sophisticated Yakhount missiles will depend on our financial condition," he said. Yussuf said the Navy has also planned to buy four to six submarines until 2009 Indonesia has now only two submarines. Enditem http://news.xinhuanet.com/english/2005-12/06/content_3882974.htm |

| http://www.atimes.com/atimes/Southeast_Asia/GK24Ae01.html Indonesia armed for a fight By Bill Guerin Asia Times Online JAKARTA - Citing "national security interests" and noting that Indonesia plays a strategic role in Southeast Asia and is a "voice of moderation in the Islamic world", the US State Department jumped the gun on Tuesday and lifted a Congress-approved arms embargo against Indonesia. With East Timor now independent and Aceh no longer a theater of war, Indonesia's pressing need is to upgrade its armed forces to cope with internal security, fight terrorism, guard vital sea lanes, protect the country's numerous oil and gas platforms from terrorist strikes and enforce its maritime boundaries to prevent foreign trawlers from poaching its resources. Smuggling, illegal fishing and maritime piracy are rife in Indonesian waters, and the addition of more sophisticated vessels will go a long way to curbing these threats. A week ago, Congress approved an appropriations bill that gave Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice the authority to waive remaining arms restrictions on Indonesia, but it had been thought that the White House would use the possibility of a waiver as leverage to extract concessions from Indonesia, such as on human rights. But Washington will resume full relations with the Indonesian military and provide additional defense funding and counter-terrorism assistance to Jakarta - without strings. "Indonesia is a voice of moderation in the Islamic world," State Department spokesman Sean McCormack said. US military ties were scaled back in 1992 after a massacre of civilians in East Timor. They were further reduced after pro-Jakarta militias and security forces killed thousands of people during the August 1999 East Timor vote for independence. The move, which caught lawmakers and congressional aides by surprise, comes only days after Indonesian President Susilo Bambang Yudhyono met the US and Russian presidents at the annual Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation summit in South Korea. After discussions with President George W Bush, Yudhyono, an ex-general, told a news conference, "I am not pleading for a resumption. We deserve it because we have undergone a reform in our military, with an emphasis on respecting human rights and democracy." The bulk of Indonesia's hardware is US-made and the TNI - as the army is called - suffers shortages as it can't get replacements and spares. As a result, Jakarta has increasingly turned to Moscow. After Yudhyono's discussions with Russian President Vladimir Putin, it was announced that both leaders had agreed to start up intensive negotiations on setting up a joint production facility for certain sophisticated military equipment and to develop a national defense industry in cash-strapped Indonesia. A deal struck by Yudhyono's predecessor, Megawati Sukarnoputri, with the former communist giant has proved to be the stepping-stone for a far closer relationship with Russia. The Megawati government agreed a US$192 million purchase of two Sukhoi-27 and two Sukhoi-30 warplanes as well as two MI-35 assault helicopters. At the time, the Indonesian Air Force chief spoke of an intention to acquire a total of 48 Sukhoi aircraft over the next four years. Under the deal, Indonesia paid 13.5% of the cost in cash in advance, with the rest to be settled under a counter trade scheme comprising commodities such as rubber, palm oil, cocoa, tea, coffee, textiles, bauxite, electronic equipment, plastics, tin, fruit and fish products. In September, Air Force Vice Marshal Pieter Wattimena, director general of procurement at Indonesia's Ministry of Defense, led a delegation of 16 defense officials to Moscow. The group lobbied Russia to replace the US as Indonesia's main weapons supplier. The US's surprise decision might have an impact on this. Earlier this month, Defense Minister Juwono Sudarsono, proposing a military budget increase to deal with "heightened threats against the country's sovereignty and unity", commented that it was "a miracle that we are able to keep this vast territory from breaking apart, should we look at the condition of our military, whose numbers and equipment are inadequate". The navy maintains that a large number of the 117 ships in its fleet are either obsolete, or are run down because it does not have the resources needed to keep them in working order. The fleet includes two Type 209-class submarines and 13 frigates, only six of which, the Ahmed Yani-class ships, are reasonably modern (carrying Sea Cat surface-to-air missiles and Harpoon anti-ship missiles). The other seven frigates (three Tribal-class and four Claude Jones-class), are armed only with guns, and do not have modern fire-control systems. There are also four light frigates (armed with Exocet anti-ship missiles), and 16 Parchim I-class corvettes, as well as numerous patrol boats and support vessels. The air force primarily operates the older F-5 fighter and A-4 attack planes. Its modern fighter force consists of 16 F-16As, the two Su-27SKs and two Su-30MK fighters (an Su-27 that has been souped up for naval warfare) plus 16 Hawk 209 light attack jets. Two army elite units - the army's Strategic Reserves Command (Kostrad) and the Army's Special Forces (Kopassus) - will eventually get global positioning satellite devices. Yudhyono has also pushed for defense cooperation agreements with other nations to reduce dependence on US and European weapons. After his Korea trip, he flew with a 100-strong entourage to India for a three-day visit. The first stop was Bangalore, at India's sole military aircraft manufacturer, Hindustan Aeronautics Limited (HAL). Indonesian Air Force Chief of Staff Air Marshall Djoko Suyanto said the government was seeking to buy spare parts and missiles from HAL for the Sukhois. On a state visit to Beijing at the end of July, Yudhyono and Chinese President Hu Jintao issued a joint statement in which they agreed to intensify bilateral cooperation in defense and military fields. A different kind of battle The religious elite in Indonesia, which is the world's largest Muslim country, have issued a fatwa (edict) against jihadi terrorism, reports Fabio Scarpello of Inter Press Service (IPS). Over the past three years, Indonesia has been stained by a series of terrorist attacks carried out by jihadis. The fatwa revolves around the interpretation of "jihad" (holy war) . "It is a welcome development and will help clarify the perception of those who associate terrorism with jihad. But terrorism is not just the product of a distorted ideology. Its roots lie also in the social problems of our society," Masdar Farid Mas'udi, director of the Indonesian Society for Pesantren (religious schools) Development, told IPS. The new "task force against terrorism", as the group of mainstream religious leaders has been dubbed, includes individual Muslim scholars as well as members of Indonesia's two largest Islamic organizations, the Nahdlatul Ulama (NU) and Muhammadiyah - which have a combined membership of 70 million people - and also representatives of Indonesia Ulema Council (MUI), the country's highest religious body. Their mission, as described by Indonesia's Minister of Religious Affairs M Maftuh Basyuni, is to explain what jihad is and to counter the distorted ideology of radical Islam. Jihad literally means struggle and according to most Muslim scholars it means both an inward struggle to better oneself and the Muslim responsibility to prevent injustice in the world. In certain circumstances, it could also mean an active struggle. However, the concept has been distorted by terrorists, who have used it as a cover to carry out attacks in the name of Islam. To counter misinterpretation, the task force has announced plans to publish pamphlets, monitor books and publications that promote wrong interpretations of Islam and also talk to the young and impressionable students that crowd the country's pesantrens - private Islamic schools. The pesantrens (also known as madrassas) in West and Central Java, have proved to be the favorite recruiting ground for the country's growing radical movement. The involvement of mainstream Islamic leaders breaks years of an almost total silence, during which the ulemas (religious leaders) stubbornly avoided comment on the link between terrorism and religion, except for a whispered fatwa against terrorism, issued by the MUI in 2003. Credit for the changed attitude must go to a quiet evening the ulemas spent at the residence of Indonesia's Vice President Jusuf Kalla on November 16, when the group was shown a video found after a recent police raid on a house in Semarang, West Java, where Noordin M Top, a wanted terrorist, was thought to be hiding. Apart from tips on how to make bombs and threaten Westerners, the video also showed three young people, who later blew themselves up in Bali on October 1, justifying their action in the name of jihad. The attack left 20 people dead. "My brother and wife, God willing, when you see this recording, I will already be in heaven," one of them, identified as bomber Muhammad Salik Firdaus, said in Arabic. Firdaus is one of nine home-grown suicide bombers so far identified by the police. Since watching the video, the ulemas and other religious leaders have spoken out unreservedly against the suicide bombers. Ma'aruf Amin, head of the MUI's fatwa department as well as the designated leader of the newly formed religious task force, said that terrorism is haram (a sin) and therefore, forbidden under Islam. "What they do is suicidal acts and also acts of terrorism. Since Indonesia is not in a war zone, those acts are forbidden," he was quoted as saying by Detik.com, an online news service. Similar condemnations have been made by other top Islamic leaders and recorded in the media worldwide. Din Syamsuddin, a senior member of Muhammadiyah and one of those invited at Kalla's home, said jihad as a means of outward struggle is not acceptable in a context such as Indonesia. "The concept of jihad is only acceptable in war-torn regions, where Muslims are evicted from their homeland and their wealth is confiscated, like in Palestine," he told the The Jakarta Post daily. |

| [SIZE=7]Dec 09 23:37 Army to Build Three Combat Helicopter Squadrons Jakarta (ANTARA News) - The Indonesian army will soon build three combat helicopter squadrons to complement its land striking power from the air, a senior official said. "We will soon build three squadrons of Mi-17, Mi-35 and Bell combat helicopters," Gen. Joko Santoso, army chief of staff, told ANTARA News after closing a Kopassus (army special force) top training in Wonosari district, Yogyakarta, on Friday. He further said that the three squadrons are aimed at maximizing the army`s aerial performance. The project has been included in the army`s export credit program of the 2005-2009 budget. In relation to the program, the four-star army general said that his office will soon obtain all the spare parts of Bell-205 and BO-105C helicopters the supply of which had been suspended under the US military embargo in 1997. "Now that the embargo has been lifted, we will immediately procure all the spare parts of the Bell helicopters to enable them to fly," he added. (*) LKBN ANTARA Copyright © 2005 Terms of Use |

| Jakarta to reactivate Falcons and Hercules as US lifts ban Indonesia plans to reactivate its grounded Lockheed Martin C-130 transports and F-16A/B fighters following a warming of relations with the USA, which could also help advance the proposed sale of Bell 210 utility and Boeing CH-47 Chinook transport helicopters. Washington late last month lifted a partial embargo on Indonesia that had restricted its purchase of F-16 parts and other combat equipment. Jakarta has indicated that it wants to restore its full fleet of 10 F-16A/Bs to service. Its air force was able to keep four F-16s flying despite the embargo, but now plans to reactivate two a year if funding is approved. The embargo did not block the sale of C-130 spares, but Indonesia’s active Hercules fleet has shrunk over the past six years to just four aircraft because of budget constraints. The Indonesian air force earlier this year reactivated two C-130s after $3 million was made available to buy spare parts from Lockheed following the December 2004 Asian tsunami. Sources say Jakarta last month filed a request with Washington to purchase $15 million worth of parts and that this should be approved shortly. Indonesia wants to restore its original fleet of 24 C-130s, but sources say it will have to acquire additional aircraft because its eight C-130Bs cannot be reactivated. The air force has so far failed to source suitable secondhand aircraft. Bell earlier this year requested US State Department approval to offer the 210 to Indonesia (Flight International, 12-18 April) and removal of the embargo could accelerate this process. Indonesia’s army has an initial requirement for 18 helicopters, but has yet to receive technical information or secure funding. It could also buy four to six surplus Chinooks from Boeing for $60-90 million. |

| EADS may re-start Indonesian production EADS Casa and Indonesian Aerospace (IAe) plan to forge a new co-operative agreement by year-end that could shift the C-212-400 assembly line from Spain to Indonesia. Industry sources say the two manufacturers have been working for several months on reviving their long-standing partnership, which involved IAe licence-producing the NC-212 and co-developing the CN-235. But their relationship has languished in recent years and the companies have been competing against each other for sales in Asia. Sources say the new tie-up will meet EADS’s goal of lowering costs by outsourcing more work overseas and IAe’s attempt to restructure its floundering business by focusing more on partnerships with Western manufacturers. EADS and IAe sources say the target for completing the new agreement, which may include handing IAe new workshare on the C-212, C-235 and C-295 programmes, is the year-end. IAe, under the leadership of new acting president director Nuril Fuad, is also trying to complete a supplier contract with Bombardier by year-end as part of an increased focus on component manufacturing, which also includes new Airbus work and possibly new Boeing work. Sources say EADS is interested in moving the C-212-400 assembly line to IAe’s Bandung facility to make the turboprop more cost-competitive. IAe stopped selling the NC-212 under a restructuring initiated in 2003, but is still completing the final three aircraft left in its inventory for the Indonesian navy. Sources say IAe is interested in restarting C-212 production for the airline and military markets and is in talks with the Indonesian transport ministry, which may acquire passenger C-212-400s for subsidised air services to remote parts of the country. CASA and IAe are also discussing outsourcing some work on the larger C-295 to Indonesia along with further work on the CN-235. IAe is already manufacturing the tail section of the CN-235 for EADS and, in return, EADS builds the nose of CN-235s assembled in Bandung. The companies are also discussing co-operating on CN-235 sales – they now compete with each other for CN-235 orders in several countries. IAe this year has delivered one CN-235 to Pakistan and one to Malaysia.

| UPDATED: 17:25, December 15, 2005 Russia to sell Be-103 amphibian aircraft to China, Indonesia and Brazil To protect its economic interests at sea, Indonesia plans to purchase 8-15 Be-103 amphibian aircraft from Russia, said Boris Bergman, deputy general director of the Sukhoi Company, according to Aviation News from Russia on AVIA.RU on Dec. 10. He said the Sukhoi Company arranged a presentation of Be-103 for the Indonesian Minister of Fishery and Sea Transport. Indonesia doesn't plan to use Be-103 for passenger carriage, but as a special-purpose aircraft, reports aeroinfo.com.cn. He added that in the future Be-103 will be used in its special-purpose modification. A purchase of this aircraft may be repaid very quickly owing to its tangible economic effects where it operates in the interests of customs, forest protection and other special-purpose services. According to Mr. Bergman, the Be-103 ideally fits Indonesia and other countries of Southeast Asia. He said the company will deliver 20 Be-103 aircraft to China. It also plans to sign a contract with Brazil for delivering eight of the aircraft. Related data: The Be-103 is an amphibian aircraft, jointly developed and produced by the Beriev Aviacomplex at Taganrog and the Komsomolsk-on-Amur Gagarin Aircraft Complex. It is mainly intended for short-distance aviation lines, such as in the areas of Siberia, the Fast East, in the northern parts of the European part in Russia and coastal and island countries as well as rivers, lakes and other small areas that the other transportation facilities are difficult to reach. It is suitable for many transportation tasks, such cargo and passenger transportation, administrative business liaison, emergency medical aid, risk rescue, mail delivery, ecological monitoring of waterways (sampling if necessary), aerial photo-taking, commercial tourism, forestry monitoring and protection, and marine and economic zone patrol. For military purpose, it can be used for command and reconnaissance, such as the installation of weaponry and military operation. There are six crewmembers for Be-103 aircraft (one pilot and five passengers or two pilots and four passengers) with a covering distance of 1,100 kilometers and a cruising speed of 240 kilometers per hour. The plane can flight at night with seaworthiness, sea state, measuring two-wave height (0.6 m). Each costs some 1 million US dollars. By People's Daily Online  |

| Indonesia gives nod to Malacca patrols December 11, 2005 - 3:29PM Indonesia has given guarded support to a plan for Australian navy patrol aircraft to help guard the strategic Malacca Straits against terrorist attacks and piracy. Malaysian Deputy Prime Minister Dato Sri Mohd Najib discussed the plan with Foreign Minister Alexander Downer on Friday, asking if Canberra would consider sending long-range RAAF P-3C Orion patrol aircraft to help oversee the vital 1,000 kilometre waterway. But reflecting diplomatic sensitivities in Jakarta and Kuala Lumpur about foreign intervention, Mr Downer said Australian aircraft would fly only with observers from one of the three neighbouring countries on board. "They believe the littoral states should have primary responsibility, and certainly should have full responsibility for direct intervention, that is, on-the-water intervention," he said. "But ... they would be happy for countries like Australia to make a contribution, over and above that, to the surveillance task." Bordered by Indonesia, Malaysia and Singapore, more than 50,000 ships pass through the Malacca Straits each year, carrying half the world's oil and a third of global commerce, including 80 per cent Japan's oil from the Middle East. After scores of piracy attacks launched mostly from Sumatra in recent years, Indonesia in July bowed to international pressure and agreed to increase sea and air patrols. But many countries remain concerned about the possibility that terrorists could take advantage of stretched security in the area to seize a passing oil tanker and launch a catastrophic attack on a trade centre such as Singapore. The narrowest point of the lane - the Phillips Channel - closes to only 1.5 miles wide at its narrowest point, creating a natural bottleneck. Indonesia's chief foreign affairs spokesman Marty Natalegawa said Jakarta would not oppose Australian air force patrols, but would first want more information on the "shape and form". "The fundamental principle that we would wish to safeguard is the rights and responsibilities of the littoral states for security," he told AAP. "But we are decent enough to realise that given the geography and the interest of all three countries in burden sharing by other users of the straits ... that we can tap their resources. "That could include co-ordination on an eye-in-the-sky, whether it be from Australia or Japan." But Indonesia would prefer "training assistance or capacity building" to direct foreign involvement in patrols, Natalegawa said. The US Navy this month promised to donate transport ships and inflatable boats to Indonesia's ageing navy to help Jakarta patrol its side of the straits. Mr Downer said Australia could send Orions down the waterway, basing them out of Malaysia's Butterworth air base in the north-west - where they already fly Indian Ocean exercises - or even Singapore. Both countries are members of the Five Power Defence Arrangements grouping Australia, New Zealand, and the UK. "As long as there were Malaysians on board the plane, or Singaporeans, or both," Mr Downer said. Air patrols over the straits build on a recent proposal by Defence Minister Robert Hill to place Indonesian observers on Australia naval or fisheries patrol boats to help combat poaching in Australian waters. In a sign of strengthening regional military ties, Senator Hill said Australian and Indonesian Kopassus special forces would soon resume exercises after Canberra reversed a ban put in place after the 1999 slaughter by Kopassus-trained militia in East Timor. © 2005 AAP |

| 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. (Dimas Adityo-Tempo News Room) |

| Dec 20 23:35 Indonesia to Check Its Sukhoi's Airworthiness Jakarta (ANTARA News) - The ministry of defence will soon check the airworthiness of four Sukhoi jet fighters of the Indonesian Air Force particularly for the defence of Indonesia`s territorial air space, a member of cabinet said. "We will soon check the four Russian-built Sukhoi fighters to ward off external threats," Juwono Sudarsono, minister of defence said after giving a briefing on the 2005 territorial coordination meeting of the Indonesian Defence Force (TNI) at the Military headquarters in Cilangkap on Tuesday. He said that the check is aimed to increase the airworthiness and combat preparedness of the SU-27SK and SU-30MK jet fighters. "Through the review, we will know how far the jet fighters are able to ward-off any external threat in the future," the minsiter added. Meanwhile, Commodore Sagoem Tamboen, chief of the Air Force`s information service, said that one of the four jet fighters is udergoing a major engine maintenance. According to him, in each jet fighter squadron, one is ready on call, one for reserve, one undergoing maintenance and the one in training. "This also happens to the four Sukhoi jet fighters. So one fighter is still undergoing major maintenance because its flying hours have reached a maximum," Sagoem said. He also said that the jet fighters need more maintenance than jet fighters manufactured by the West, at a ratio of 3 to 1. On spareparts, he said, the Air Force has no problems, since they still have reserve spare parts for two years under their 2003 purchase package.(*) |

The F-5 fighter planes are being offered to Indonesia because Jordan is currently updating their armaments. In principle, according to Sudarsono, Indonesia will accept this offer. “We just need to see in technical means whether or not the proposed specifications suit our needs,” Sudarsono stated. The Directorate General for Defense Plans and facilities will review these thoroughly. However first of all, according to Air Marshall Joko Suyanto, the Indonesian Air Force Chief of Staff, in either 2007 or 2008, the TNI Air Force must have researched the replacement of the old F-5 fighter planes. In response to this, said Sudarsono, the Department of Defense was reviewing the duration of use and the age of Air Force fighter planes. If during the next five years, these planes can still be used and there are yet to be any replacements, he said, the Jordanian planes could be used to strengthen air defenses. Sudarsono and Khalid also exchanged their thoughts on contra terrorism with both parties agreeing for the need to be stern in fighting terrorism. They also agreed that the roots of terrorism are poverty, economic imbalance and corruption. To fight terrorism, Jordan has offered cooperation between both countries’special forces. |

| Jan 03 23:11 Air Force Chief: F-16, Sukhoi Programs Jointly Implemented Bandung (ANTARA News) - Air Force Chief of Staff Marshal Djoko Suyanto confirmed that the implementation of the program on Sukhoi jet fighers will be continued in tandem with the program on the replacement and procurement of arms for F-16 aircraft in the wake of the lifting of the US military embargo on Indonesia. "There is no a ban on both, as the state has given its approval we have the money for that purpose. We will as least need another six Sukhoi jet fighters to bring the total number to 10 completed with their arms", he told Antara here on Tuesday. With regard to the arms supply program of the airforce until 2009, his side has received an additional fund already approved by the government and the House of Representatives (DPR) amounting to USD1.3 billion, which will be mainly spent on the procurement of the jet fighters complete with their arms imported from the West or the East, he said. "There is a choice to replace our Hercules cargo aircraft by Russian-made wide-bodied aircraft such as Antonov 12 and Ilyusin 76. But it has to be done, although it would cost a great deal. It would not be easy to realize, as it also involves the necessary human resources, support system and funds," he said. Of the two squadrons of Hercules aircraft in Indonesia, readines of the planes had been improved after the US lifted its military embargo on Indonesia and there would no longer be any problem in the purchase of their engines and support materials. As to the purchase of arms and military equipment from other countries especially involving third parties, he said the rules of the game will remain the same. The only improvements had been effectiveness and efficiencyin the use of fund sprovided by the state. "While every time in the past we wanted to buy aircraft, we could not demand this or that brands from the suppliers, as everything had been arranged by them. Now the condition is different," he said, adding that "We can now consider many aspects ranging from price, type, terms of payment and other provisions before making our choice on type and brand."(*) |

| RI to buy warships, subs from Russia, Germany Rendi Akhmad Witular, The Jakarta Post, Bandung, West Java The country's inferior sea defense capability is likely to get a boost by 2009, as the government explores buying three new warships from Russia worth about US$335 million and several "kilo-class" attack submarines possibly from Germany. A Ministry of Defense team is currently in talks with Russian officials on the best way to buy the warships, which could include a corvette, a destroyer and a frigate. "We are approaching the Russians to explore the possibility of buying the warships and a sea transport helicopter. I expect that within the next two months there will be a definite outcome on this matter," Ministry of Defense secretary-general Lt. Gen. Sjafrie Sjamsoeddin told The Jakarta Post recently. He said the total price of the three warships and the helicopter were "about the same" as the two corvettes Indonesia bought in 2004 from the Netherlands, about $335 million in total. The two newly built corvettes are scheduled to arrive in Indonesia in 2007 and 2008, with the Dutch government agreeing to gradually transfer warship-making technology to Indonesia. "Based on the guidance from President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono, the criteria for the purchase should be based partly on a relatively competitive price, but also on high quality. We believe Russia is (a war machine supplier) that meets both these requirements," said Sjafrie. The country is expected to spend about Rp 28 trillion ($2.83 billion) this year on military spending, up from Rp 23.3 trillion in 2005. Most of the funds will be used to procure Navy and Air Force equipment. However, any warship purchases from Russia were unlikely to be made any time soon, because of the government's limited ability to pay, Sjafrie said. "There will be no massive buy-up of defense equipment and warships this year. Our focus will remain on maintaining and upgrading our war machines. Should there be a deal with Russia, it is unlikely to be realized this year," he said. The government's wants a strong military force to deal with threats at home, such as separatist movements, and also to protect its borders. The defense budget of the world's fourth-largest country is considered relatively low compared to smaller neighbors like Thailand and Malaysia. It doesn't help that the Indonesian Military's equipment has been steadily deteriorating, partly as a result of the 13-year arms embargo imposed on Indonesia by the United States. That ban came after Indonesian troops and civilian militias committed gross human rights violations in East Timor. The U.S. only lifted the embargo in November. Aside from warships, the government is also planning to buy two or three submarines capable of operating in deep waters. The first country being considered for the purchase is Germany, which is considered one of the world's best producers of kilo-class submersibles. "We are planning to buy two or three kilo-class submarines between 2007 and 2009. We haven't decided on the country yet, but our best bet is currently Germany. But due to the budget constraints, we are also looking at other countries," said Sjafrie, refusing to mention a price tag. Indonesia has only two diesel-powered submarines -- the Cakra and the Nanggala -- for its 3.2 million square kilometers of coastlines and seas. Purchased from Germany in 1981, they are currently being overhauled in South Korea. link; http://www.thejakartapost.com/de ... 0105.A06&irec=5 |

| Indonesia to buy more Sukhoi fighters from Russia (Reuters) Updated: 2006-01-19 15:42 Indonesian President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono plans to visit Russia in June with an agenda that includes the planned purchase of more Sukhoi fighter jets from Moscow, a top government official said on Thursday. Doubts arose after a Russian defence official said last year Indonesia was likely to ditch a planned order for at least six warplanes because the money had been diverted to tsunami relief. But Indonesia, which has bought four Sukhoi fighters from Russia, did not announce any plans to cancel. Jakarta has said it will strengthen its squad to 12 fighters. "Indonesia wants to buy more Sukhoi jets from Russia. President Yudhoyono will visit Russia in June to discuss economic cooperation," State Secretary Yusril Ihza Mahendra told reporters. "The price and the payment mechanism will be discussed in Russia when the president is there." An air force official said Indonesia had 12 U.S.-made F-16 fighters, but fewer than two-thirds are fully functional. Jakarta turned to Russia and East European countries for weapons several years ago when it was under an arms embargo by the United States. The United States has fully restored military ties and lifted the arms embargo on Indonesia as a reward for Jakarta's cooperation with Washington's war on terrorism. Washington cut back military ties after Indonesian troops shot demonstrators in East Timor in 1991, killing dozens, when the tiny territory was ruled by Jakarta. Ties were severed after pro-Jakarta militias backed by elements in the military sacked East Timor in 1999 when the territory voted for independence. |

| Indonesia Mulls Submarine Purchase By AGENCE FRANCE-PRESSE, JAKARTA http://www.defensenews.com/story.php?F=1489844&C=asiapac Indonesia is considering buying submarines from Russia, South Korea and China under a plan to acquire 12 of them before 2024, the navy said Jan. 25. ”We have received offers from several countries, including Russia. If we can buy them at cheaper prices, why not? We don’t want to depend on one country,” said navy spokesman First Admiral Malik Yusuf. South Korea and China have also made similar offers, he said. Yusuf said Indonesia’s capability to defend its waters remained weak due to a lack of submarines, frigates and corvettes. The navy currently operates two German-made submarines. President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono plans to visit Russia in June to discuss defense cooperation and the purchase of more Sukhoi fighter jets from Moscow. The country has four Sukhoi jets bought by the previous administration. Indonesia embarked on a hunt for new arms suppliers after the United States imposed restrictions on military sales and cooperation due to concerns about rights abuses committed by the Indonesian armed forces in East Timor in 1991. The United States, eager for Indonesia’s assistance in the “war on terror”, lifted the arms restrictions and resumed full military ties last November. - if this submarine purchase plan does push through, it will give Indonesia the largest submarine fleet in all of Southeast Asia. |

| Indonesia looks for MRO partner to revive C-130s Overseas contenders line up for contract to reactivate grounded Hercules transports Indonesia has opened a competition to select a foreign maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO) company to help refurbish its fleet of Lockheed Martin C-130 transports. Jakarta is preparing to reactivate several of its grounded Hercules using $15 million in parts that are being acquired from the US government. Industry sources say several international MRO shops have expressed interest in the programme, including Malaysia’s Airod, Abu Dhabi-based Gulf Aircraft Maintenance, Florida-based Kellstrom Industries, Australia’s Qantas Defence Services, Singapore Technologies Aerospace and France’s Sogerma. Indonesian Aerospace says it has been asked by the air force to partner with whichever MRO concern wins the competition, and to conduct the work at its Bandung facility. Indonesia has traditionally outsourced its C-130 heavy maintenance because its domestic capability is limited, but sources say the new tender requires most of the work to be done in-country. Indonesia operates around six C-130s and has been looking to reactivate aircraft from its original fleet of over 20 Hercules since the December 2004 Asian tsunami. Sources say Jakarta late last year opened a $15 million foreign military sales (FMS) case with Washington for the purchase of C-130 parts from the US Air Force, adding that the first batch will be delivered shortly and used to reactivate aircraft. The number of aircraft to be overhauled under the programme is unclear as an external assessment of the fleet has not yet taken place. Sources say another $13 million in FMS funding, which had been frozen since 1994 until Washington lifted its partial arms embargo on Indonesia last November, may also be funnelled to acquiring C-130 parts. Jakarta also has expressed an interest in reactivating its Lockheed F-16A/B fighters, but has not yet opened an FMS case to purchase the required parts. BRENDAN SOBIE / SINGAPORE |

| C-212-400 assembly to move to Indonesia An agreement to revive the relationship between Indonesian Aerospace (IAe) and EADS Casa could be signed as early as the end of this month. EADS Casa has agreed to move its C-212-400 assembly line to IAe’s Bandung facility, according to IAe’s new president director Nuril Faid. The previous co-operation agreement between the two parties has languished in recent years, with both manufacturers competing against each other for sales in Asia. A new agreement would make the C-212-400 light turboprop transport more cost-competitive by moving assembly from Spain to Indonesia. Faid says it would assign responsibility for Asian sales of the type to IAe, with EADS Casa overseeing sales for the rest of the world. Both companies also currently produce, and compete against each other, for sales of the larger CN-235, which they co-developed. However, any similar new arrangement on assigning areas of sales responsibility for the latter type would only be discussed later. Such an agreement would be a welcome boost for IAe, whose production rates have fallen away in recent years. It stopped selling the NC-212 in 2003 and is completing the final three aircraft in its inventory for the Indonesian navy. Production of the CN-235 has also been at a low level, although the company reported a Thai order for 10 CN-235s, worth around $200 million, at the end of last year. A new agreement with EADS Casa could also see subcontracting work moving eastward from other EADS subsidiaries. |

| Indonesia mulls buying US military helicopter Chinook www.chinaview.cn 2006-03-23 15:53:56 JAKARTA, March 23 (Xinhua) -- The Indonesian government said Thursday it considers buying U.S.-made tandem rotor helicopter CH-47 Chinook for military personnel and cargo transport. "This kind of helicopter was also proven very useful in emergency operations during the tsunami disaster in Aceh," Minister of Defense Juwono Sudarsono told reporters here. Juwono said the government really needs the multi-role helicopter but the plan would need a review due to financial constraints. "The helicopter is very useful for logistical mission apart from its military role. Singapore and Australia already have them in service," he said. But the minister didn't elaborate how many Chinook Indonesia intends to buy. The twin-engine helicopter is priced at an estimate of 15 million U.S. dollars. Enditem Editor: Lu Hui |

| Indonesia to Buy 8 Russian Sukhoi Jet Fighters Created: 30.03.2006 10:29 MSK (GMT +3), Updated: 10:29 MSK MosNews Indonesia’s Defense Minister Juwono Sudarsono said on Wednesday, March 29, that in 2006-2009 his country plans to annually purchase two Sukhoi jet fighters from Russia. The minister said the purchase aims at anticipating possible ban by western countries of buying spare parts of military equipment. “The plan is (to buy) two planes per year up to 2009. We anticipate the possibility of imposing embargo by western countries,” Juwono said, quoted by the Xinhua agency. Currently, Indonesia had four Sukhoi planes bought from Russia. By 2009 the country will have 12 jets. The minister said Indonesia has rejected similar offer from some Eastern European countries and insists to buy from Russia, as both sides once had official military cooperation. Indonesian military had been embargoed on military equipment purchase by the United States, following the accusation of gross violation of human rights during the referendum for Independence in East Timor in 1999. The ban was lifted recently due to Indonesia’s seriousness in combating terrorism and reform of the military force. MosNews has also reported on Wednesday that Russia has offered Indonesia a $1 billion loan to finance modernization of its military. If the Indonesian government approves the loan, Indonesian military will spend $200 million of this sum to buy Russian Mi-17 combat helicopters.  SU 30 MKI |

| The Beasts From The East April 13, 2006: Why are other countries, like Yemen and Cambodia, coming to Indonesia to get their commandoes trained? In a word, reputation. The Indonesian special forces, called Kopassus, is regarded as the best in the Pacific area. Founded in the early 1950s, their training methods came direct from the World War II British commandoes, via a Dutch soldier who served in the British commandoes, and retired from the Dutch army while in Indonesia. The Indonesians took to the tough training, and maintained those standards. Kopassus has mainly been used against separatist, rebel and terrorist groups within Indonesia. While Kopassus acquired Western military skills, they still retained Indonesian attitudes, which meant that they were pretty vicious with "internal enemies." Lots of torture and mass killing. This gave Kopassus a bad reputation, but mostly from foreigners. Militarily, they are highly regarded, although American advisors have long tried to convince that a less violent approach to hostile civilians might work better. Both Cambodia and Yemen share the bloody minded Indonesian attitude towards internal dissent. That might have had something to do with going to Kopassus for special operations training. Sort of a "they speak our language" thing? Kopassus currently consists of a headquarters, two brigades of special forces (three battalions each), and an 800 man counter-terror unit. There is also a training center with 400-500 troops, and a company sized combat intelligence unit. |

Industry sources say the Indonesian air force has invited four maintenance, repair and overhaul companies to submit second bids, but add that it is unclear whether Air New Zealand and France’s Sogerma will respond. Indonesia opened the competition early this year and seeks a foreign company to lead the refurbishment of grounded C-130s at Indonesian Aerospace. Its air force currently operates about six C-130s and plans to reactivate as many aircraft as possible from an original fleet of over 20. Sources say five or six platforms could receive structural upgrades and some new avionics. |

Indonesia has traditionally outsourced its C-130 heavy maintenance because its domestic capability is limited, but sources say the new tender requires most of the work to be done in-country. Indonesia operates around six C-130s and has been looking to reactivate aircraft from its original fleet of over 20 Hercules since the December 2004 Asian tsunami. Sources say Jakarta late last year opened a $15 million foreign military sales (FMS) case with Washington for the purchase of C-130 parts from the US Air Force, adding that the first batch will be delivered shortly and used to reactivate aircraft. The number of aircraft to be overhauled under the programme is unclear as an external assessment of the fleet has not yet taken place. Sources say another $13 million in FMS funding, which had been frozen since 1994 until Washington lifted its partial arms embargo on Indonesia last November, may also be funnelled to acquiring C-130 parts. Jakarta also has expressed an interest in reactivating its Lockheed F-16A/B fighters, but has not yet opened an FMS case to purchase the required parts. BRENDAN SOBIE / SINGAPORE |

| Russia’s missile sale to Indonesia upsets DRDO shiv aroor Posted online: Thursday, July 20, 2006 at 0000 hrs IST NEW DELHI, JULY 19 Moscow’s decision to sell anti-ship cruise missiles to Indonesia without keeping Indo-Russian joint venture BrahMos Aerospace in the loop has left many red faces at DRDO, the equal Indian partner in the company. Apart from looking at Moscow’s proposed sale, as well as outside contractual bounds, DRDO is concerned that the sale would eat into the BrahMos missile’s market and therefore affect profits even before the missile has made its first sale abroad. While the DRDO responded to a detailed questionnaire sent by The Indian Express by saying that its chief M Natarajan was ‘‘not going to Russia concerning the sale of any missile’’, top sources have confirmed that Natarajan is leaving for Moscow on July 19, and his agenda there includes sorting out this new disagreement. When asked about Russia’s sale to Indonesia, and the fact that it was not being routed through BrahMos Aerospace as is stipulated in the terms and conditions of the joint venture, DRDO simply provided a definition of what BrahMos Aerospace does ‘‘concerned with the sale of BrahMos missile.’’ Last month, Defence Secretary Shekhar Dutt first conveyed DRDO’s anxieties when he met Russian Defence Minister Sergei Ivanov in Moscow. BrahMos Aerospace Managing Director and DRDO Chief Controller (missiles) A Sivathanu Pillai also made known India’s concerns to Russia’s Deputy Defence Minister Mikhail Dmitriyev. Pillai could not be reached for comment. DRDO perceives Moscow’s move to sell Yakhont missiles -- the prototype on which the BrahMos was developed -- to be inexplicable, since the programme was specifically entered into to ‘‘deploy BrahMos missile system in the Indian and Russian armed forces and also to export to friendly countries.’’ Sources said Moscow has justified the sale by indicating that talks with Indonesia have been on for three years. Late last month PM Manmohan Singh visited the BrahMos Aerospace complex in the Delhi cantonment and exhorted the missile’s ‘‘immense export potential’’, a visit where he also made it a point to call Russia a ‘‘traditional and trusted supplier of defence systems.’’ |

| INDONESIA: ARMY TANK PROCUREMENT PLAN MEETS OPPOSITION http://www.adnki.com/index_2Level_English.php?cat=Security&loid=8.0.339754366&par=0 Jakarta, 13 Sept. (AKI/Jakarta Post) - As the Indonesian military (TNI) faces a two-week deadline to dispatch a 1,000-member peacekeeping force to Lebanon, its plan to buy 32 armoured vehicles from France remains up in the air. MPs claim the French-made tanks are too expensive and have demanded that the arms be purchased through a public bidding process. Critics also argued it would also violate the 2004 law on the military and a 2004 presidential decree on arms procurement. MPs from all political parties oppose the purchase, arguing that the French tanks costs significantly more than East European made alternatives. "Similar armored vehicles made in Ukraine and Russia cost only between 350,000 and 400,000 euros per unit," said Djoko Susilo, a legislator from the moderate Islamist National Mandate Party (PAN). He was speaking on Tuesday after the plenary session with finance minister, Sri Mulyani Indrawati. According to Susilo, because of the time constraints, the government can speed up the purchase by using a limited bidding process. He said since the alternative armoured vehicles were ready, they could be made available in Lebanon within about two weeks after the winning bidder started work. The plenary meeting presided over by deputy speaker, Soetardjo Soerjogoeritno, approved the government's plan to send the peacekeeping troops to Lebanon. It also okayed a 39 million dollar budget to cover expenses, including the purchase of the armoured vehicles. Soerjogoeritno said the budget could not be disbursed without the parliament's approval. "And one of the conditions is that the arms procurement should be tendered," he said. He warned of "political consequences," if the government failed to meet the parliament's conditions. The controversy started when defence minister Juwono Sudarsono disclosed that the government had appointed a partner company to supply the French-made vehicles at 890,000 dollars each. Effendi Choirie of the moderate Muslim National Awakening Party (PKB) and Happy Bone Zulkarnain of the former ruling Golkar Party questioned defence minister Juwono Sudarsono's control over his ministry, including over arms procurement. "Almost all arms purchases in the defence ministry end up scandalous and none have been seriously investigated," Effendi said, referring to the purchases of helicopters and jet fighters from Russia and war plane spare parts from the United States, as well as the recent discovery of a large arms cache at the residence of the late Brig. Gen. Kusmayadi in North Jakarta. (Aki/Jakarta Post) |

| DSME has successfully completed the Submarine Performance Improvement Project for the Indonesian Navy DSME has successfully completed the Submarine Performance Improvement Project for the Indonesian Navy, the first project of its kind ever undertaken in the country, opening new doors for Korea¡¯s defense industry. The Delivery Ceremony for the 1,300 ton submarine named ¡°CAKRA¡± was held in the presence of S.T.Nam, the CEO & President of DSME and representatives of the Indonesian Navy, at the Quay for Special Ships on 3rd of April. And the delivery is set for on the 4th of April. Winning the order for CAKRA was made possible by DSME¡¯s 209 class Overhaul License, which has also allowed DSME to deliver 9 submarines to the Republic of Korea Navy without delay. DSME is the only company in the world that holds this type of certification. A DSME representative involved in this project said, ¡°Though this project was the first overseas business in Korea¡¯s shipbuilding industry related to ordering submarines, it was DSME that could win the order for CAKRA away from HDW, a Germany-based shipbuilder which invented the source of the submarine¡¯s technology. It shows that DSME has been recognized for its submarine-related technological capability, even from abroad.¡± The CAKRA is 1,390 tons of submerged displacement, is 59.5 meters long, 6.2 meters wide and sails at about 11 knots on the surface and 21.5 knots underwater.  |

| Issue 30. November - December 1998 CRUISER FOR INDONESIA Alexander Pavlov, historian On August 5, 1962, the Ordzhonikidze arrived in Surabaya, after which it was transferred to Indonesia in a ceremony and renamed Irian. On January 24, 1963, the cruiser was decommissioned from the Soviet Navy. In August 17, 1945, the Dutch East Indies were proclaimed an independent state Indonesia. Ahmed Sukarno, who led the armed struggle for his country's independence, became its president. The West Irian province, which remained under Dutch control, came as a stumbling block for Sukarno. The poor and weak country of "three thousand islands" was unable to build armed forces of its own. The world's leading naval powers did not support Indonesia's drive for independence. The late 1950s saw the beginning of rapprochement, especially in the field of military cooperation, between the USSR and Indonesia, countries different in all respects. For the Soviet Union that was the first experience of this kind. So, fearing a possible negative reaction to Soviet military supplies from Western countries and from the opposition inside Indonesia, the USSR at first sent armaments via Poland. In 1959 four destroyers and two submarines from the Soviet Union's Black Sea and Pacific Fleets came to Surabaya. The reaction of the West was restrained. So in 1960 the USSR decided to supply armaments to Indonesia without taking roundabout routes. In February 1960, Soviet leader Nikita Khrushchev paid a visit to Sukarno. The two signed an agreement on Soviet supplies of ships, planes, helicopters, tanks, and other armaments. The most expensive part of the deal was a cruiser of Project 68-bis. Never before and never since has the Soviet Union or Russia supplied ships of such a displacement to foreign fleets. The ship that was to be turned over to Indonesia (Object 055) was the Ordzhonikidze light cruiser of the Baltic Fleet. On January 11, 1961, the Soviet government issued a special resolution which instructed Central Design Bureau #17 to begin work on the ship's tropicalization. The large-scale modernization was to make the cruiser operational under the following climatic conditions: air temperature, +40o C; humidity, 95 percent; water temperature, +30o C. However, representatives of the Indonesian Navy, who soon visited the Soviet town of Baltiisk, hinted that they could not afford such a large project. As a result, the modernization was confined to the installation of more powerful diesel generators to power additional, mostly private, ventilators. The Ordzhonikidze was built in Leningrad. The ship was laid down on October 19, 1949, launched on September 17, 1950, and commissioned on June 30, 1952. The cruiser had sailed a lot, visited Portsmouth, Copenhagen and twice Helsinki, and took part in naval exercises. Understandably, the ship needed medium level repairs. It was decided to do them at the Sevastopol Marine Works. On February 14, 1961, the Ordzhonikidze came to Sevastopol and on April 5, 1962, it began to run sea trials. By that time the ship's Indonesian crew of naval officers had already been formed and were on board the cruiser. The ship's mechanic, Yatidzhan, later worked his way up to chief of the Indonesian Navy's Technical Department. Most of the sailors, too, later were given high-ranking posts. On August 5, 1962, the Ordzhonikidze arrived in Surabaya, after which it was transferred to Indonesia in a ceremony and renamed Irian. On January 24, 1963, the cruiser was decommissioned from the Soviet Navy. Indonesians, who had never had a fleet of their own, learned how to operate the expensive ships and sophisticated equipment by trial and error. In November 1962, a submarine's diesels failed because of a hydraulic impact during surfacing; a destroyer severely damaged its stern; and three out of six boilers on the cruiser broke down. High air temperature and humidity, as well as aggressive outside water had a negative effect on the state of the fleet. In addition, the equipment was not serviced properly. Nevertheless, the mere presence of such ships in the Indonesian Navy made the Dutch Navy drastically reduce its activity near West Irian, which in the long run led to the liberation of the province. By 1964 the cruiser had actually lost its operating efficiency, and it was decided to send the Irian to Vladivostok for repairs. In March 1964, the cruiser came to the Dalzavod Plant. Soviet sailors and repairmen were shocked to see the state of neglect on the ship and the large amount of minor repairs, which are usually carried out by the crew, undone. Nevertheless, the Soviet Union fulfilled all the points of the repair contract. Interestingly, the ship's wardroom had been made into a sort of chapel. In August 1964, the Irian, escorted by a Soviet destroyer, left for Surabaya. In 1965, Sukarno was replaced at the helm by Suharto. His attitude to the Navy differed from that of Sukarno. The cruiser remained moored at Surabaya, and some time later it was made into a prison for opponents of the new regime. In 1970, the abandoned Irian was washed onto a sandbank, and its hull soon became filled with water. No one cared to save the cruiser. According to Western sources, in 1972 the flagship of the Indonesian Navy began to be scrapped. Today, there are no Soviet-made warships in Indonesia. However, the high skills of Indonesian naval officers and sailors and the fact that the Indonesian Navy now includes submarines, frigates and auxiliary ships are largely due to Soviet sailors who helped build the Navy of independent Indonesia in its most difficult years.

| Indonesia Enters $1Bln Military Equipment Contract with Russia Created: 17.11.2006 09:12 MSK (GMT +3), Updated: 12:03 MSK MosNews The Indonesian government has agreed to purchase military equipment worth $1 billion from Russia in an effort to diversify its arms sources, Defense Minister Juwono Sudarsono said on Thursday, Nov. 16. He was quoted by The Jakarta Post as saying that purchasing arms from Russia keeps the country from being totally dependent on American military products, which is important if there is another arms embargo by the U.S. in the future. The U.S. government completely lifted its arms embargo on Indonesia only this year. The embargo was put in place after the Nov. 12, 1991, Santa Cruz cemetery massacre in Dili, East Timor (now Timor Leste), by the Indonesian Military, in which over 200 people were reportedly killed. Almost all of Indonesia’s military equipment, some of which became inoperable due to the embargo, was made in the U.S. The military says it didn’t purchase arms during the embargo, but reports say it bought some in the gray market, including from Israel through third parties. Juwono said the U.S. had no objection to Indonesia’s deal with Russia, although it did investigate what Indonesia planned to buy from the country. The $1 billion export credit, to be integrated into the state budget, will last for five years, from 2006 until 2010, although the first arms shipment is not expected until next year. Juwono said Indonesia had ordered five new cargo helicopters, four combat helicopters, two submarines and six fighter jets from Russia. |

| DATE:28/11/06 SOURCE:Flight International Indonesia turns to Russia for new fighters and helicopters By Siva Govindasamy Indonesia and Russia are expected to seal a deal for eight Sukhoi Su-30MK fighter jets and four Mil Mi-35 attack helicopters in the next two months, with the agreement likely to be signed during an official visit to Moscow by Indonesian president Bambang Susilo Yudhoyono. The deal, which also includes five cargo helicopters and two submarines, is reportedly worth $1 billion. Payment would be via export credits from Russia that will be integrated into the Indonesian budget over the next five years. Deliveries could start in late 2007 and should be completed in three years, say industry sources in Indonesia. "Negotiations are ongoing as we speak and both parties are virtually at an agreement," says a Russian source. "It is just a matter of tying up the loose ends before the official visit, which is expected before the end of the year." Jakarta has decided against buying new Lockheed Martin F-16s and upgrading its fleet as an alternative to the Sukhois, sources say. Most of its F-16A/B fleet was grounded due to a lack of spare parts, following an 11-year partial arms embargo by the USA that was completely lifted only early in 2006. Indonesia was able to keep up to four of its 10 F-16A/Bs flying during those 11 years only by acquiring parts from third parties. "The government is afraid that the Americans might impose another arms embargo. That would severely undermine the country's air defence. With the Russians, it is straightforward," says an Indonesian industry source. Indonesia bought two Su-27SKMs and two Su-30MKs in 2003, but its proposed acquisition of a further 14 Su-30s was delayed by budget constraints, a change in the administration and a shift in priorities following the December 2004 Asian tsunami. It was not immediately clear which make of helicopters Indonesia plans to buy from the Russians. Before these purchases, most of Indonesia's military equipment was made by US companies. Jakarta has included F-16 parts and engines as part of a package of US equipment it seeks to acquire using $13 million in foreign military financing funds frozen during the embargo, but the air force must secure additional money if it is to restore its original F-16 fleet. |

| Indonesia wins Russian military help Indonesia's president, keen to buy $US1 billion ($A1.27 billion) worth of Russian arms, said he had won assurances of military cooperation with Russia after talks with President Vladimir Putin. "First and foremost, we are counting on long-term cooperation with Russia in the military sector," Itar-Tass news agency quoted Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono as telling a joint news briefing with Putin crowning his two-day visit to Russia. Ahead of the visit, the Russian ambassador in Jakarta said Yudhoyono was planning to discuss in Moscow a $US1-billion credit to purchase modern arms. Mikhail Bely said Indonesia had a "large purchasing list". There were no official statements concerning the loan or any planned contracts. Jakarta turned to Russia and East European countries for weapons several years ago when it was under an arms embargo by the US. Washington later restored military ties and lifted the arms embargo as a reward for Jakarta's cooperation with Washington's war on terrorism. Jakarta, which has already bought four Sukhoi fighter planes from Russia, is negotiating for more jets to strengthen its Sukhoi fleet to 12 fighter planes. During the visit, Indonesia's defence ministry and Russia's federal service on military-industrial cooperation signed a memorandum on the promotion of a bilateral program in the sector for 2006-2010. Russia, one of the world's leading arms traders with annual sales topping $US5 billion ($A6.35 billion) in bumper years, wants to gain markets beyond its current top buyers - China and India. Putin also put trade in arms among top bilateral priorities along with the space sector and nuclear energy. In the space sector, Russia is interested in cooperating with Indonesia in the Air Launch program, due to start in 2009. Itar-Tass news agency quoted a spokesman for Russia's Airspace Corporation, Leonid Shirobokov, as saying the creation of a complex for launching space rockets from airplanes would cost up to $US130 million ($A165 million). Rocket launches from a location near the equator, such as Indonesia, are easier and cheaper. Tass quoted experts as saying launches from the complex could cost $US20 million to $US23 million ($A25.4 million to $A29.2 million). |

| The National Institute of Aeronautics and Space of Indonesia (LAPAN) has been involved in many space projects since its establishment. But it is not well published to public perhaps LAPAN would like to keep it like that. LAPAN succesfully indigenously design their own rocket since 2004 among them are RX250 type which can go as far as 120 km. Eventhough Indonesia technnology in rocket design and manufacturing still away behind China, Iran, India or Pakistan, but consistent research and development from LAPAN will put Indonesia not in the long run one of among the few country which will produce indigenously our own rocket.   |

| http://www.thejakartapost.com/yesterdaydetail.asp?fileid=20070111.A04 First Indonesian-built satellite in orbit National News - January 11, 2007 Novan Iman Santosa, The Jakarta Post, Jakarta Indonesia marked its entry into satellite technology Wednesday when an Indonesian-built video surveillance satellite successfully entered orbit and beeped to show it was working. "We got the first beep at about 4 p.m. indicating the satellite is working fine. It was a tense moment waiting to get the first signal," National Space and Aviation Agency (Lapan) deputy chairman for technology Agus Nuryanto told The Jakarta Post by phone. "Actually, the signal was sent to a ground station in Germany, but I can access all the data from Lapan's ground station here in Rumpin, Serpong," he said. The Lapan-Tubsat satellite, launched by an Indian rocket, was designed and assembled in Germany by Lapan engineers working with experts from Technical University Berlin. "We are currently in the first phase of satellite making. We have to learn from those who already have the technology," Agus said. "Hopefully in the second phase, 2009 or 2010, we can launch a satellite in which our experts and engineers have had a bigger role in designing and assembling." He said the satellite was designed to have a lifetime of two to three years, but Lapan hoped it would continue working for up to six years. The satellite was launched from the Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO)'s Satish Dhawan Space Center in Sriharikota, in the southern Indian state of Andhra Pradesh, using a Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle PSLV-C7 rocket. The Lapan-Tubsat satellite was an auxiliary payload, together with the Argentinean Pehuensat-1, a six-kilogram nano-satellite. The main payload was India's own 680-kilo remote imaging Cartosat-2 satellite and Space Capsule Recovery Experiment SRE-1 designed to test re-entry technology. The rocket was launched at about 9:23 a.m. Indian time (10:53 a.m. Jakarta time) according to Lapan's website. Agus said the satellite cost about Rp 10 billion (US$1.1 million) and the ground station in Serpong some Rp 11 billion. The total program cost a total of Rp 30 billion. The Lapan-Tubsat satellite -- orbiting about 630 kilometers above the earth -- carries telemetry and telecommand transmission systems, as well as Altitude Control System (ATC) allowing it to receive various commands from ground stations. Weighing some 57 kilograms, the micro-satellite carries a high resolution color video camera with a swath or coverage of 3.5 kilometers wide and a low resolution color video camera with a swath of 81 kilometers. The cameras have a resolution of five meters and 200 meters, respectively. The satellite can be used for real-time monitoring of various conditions on earth such as forest fires, volcanic activity and flooding. It will pass over Indonesia four times a day. Power from the satellite comes from four solar panels and is stored in five, 12-volt batteries. "Lapan's second phase satellite will be bigger weigh more than 100 kilos with a different mission. "The second satellite mission will be supporting the country's food availability program, such as monitoring the growth of rice fields using remote sensing devices," Agus said. When asked why Lapan used the ISRO launcher, Agus said there was a cooperation between the two agencies. "ISRO is using Lapan's facilities in Biak, Papua, to track its rockets and satellites. So we have an advantage in terms of negotiating for the use of ISRO's launcher," he said. |

| MBDA SIGNS INDUSTRIAL ACCORD WITH PT. PINDAD OF INDONESIA 11/30/2006 PindadMoU.doc author : Eka Meiryawa 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%). Press contact and details: Mr Eka Meiryawan – (62-21) 5735975 |

If their economy is doing well then i'm sure they'll be getting something much better then this....not sure about their SSM though, i think torpedo could be italian made whitehead or a locally built under licence german made D24....Sam is obviously french made Mistral..... |

| opsss my mistake, thanks for the correction israeli. at first, when i read the news last year i thought they would be getting the smaller design. but even the larger design of the sigma class look bigger when done. it doesnt have a hangar but they manage to cram all of that equip in that space. |
| Posted by: israeli Apr 9 2007, 01:18 AM |
| those Dutch-built corvettes are quite capable for their size. armed with MM40 Exocet SSMs, Mistral SAMs mounted on a four-cell Tetral launcher and anti-submarine torpedoes to be fired from six 12.75 inch torpedo tubes and equipped with an aft helicopter deck and hangar, these corvettes would surely make intruders think more than twice before messing with the Indonesian Navy. how i wish the Philippine Navy has those same modern corvettes.  |

| Russia, Indonesia sign corvette construction agreement RIA Novosti 29/06/2007 14:20 ST. PETERSBURG/JAKARTA, June 29 (RIA Novosti) - Russia's state-run arms exporter Rosoboronexport said Friday it has signed a contractual agreement on the design and construction of corvettes for the Indonesian navy. "The agreement envisions further cooperation on the design and construction of corvettes modeled on [Russia's] Project 20382 Steregushchy ship for the Indonesian navy," the agency said in a statement at a naval show in St. Petersburg. The sides agreed to sign an official contract on the corvette construction in the near future. The contract stipulates that the first vessel will be built in Spain and later fitted with weaponry and electronic equipment at a shipyard in St. Petersburg. An unidentified source in the Indonesian navy told RIA Novosti that the construction of the first corvette could promote the development of a joint Russian-Indonesian program for construction of ships of this type. "Indonesia will make a final decision on this issue in the future," the source said. |

| Russia says arms deal with Indonesia will not start arms race Friday, September 7, 2007 02:00 PM http://www.philstar.com/index.php?News%20Flash&p=54&type=2&sec=91&aid=2007090735 SYDNEY (AP) - Russian President Vladimir Putin on Friday defended a US$1 billion arms sale to Indonesia, saying the deal is legal and would not spark a regional arms race. Arriving in Australia fresh from a landmark visit to the Indonesian capital of Jakarta, Putin said that Indonesia is not under any international sanctions and thus it and Russia are free to engage in weapons deals. "These are legal and open transactions, and they lead to no negative consequences in the world. They do not disturb any balance," Putin said at a joint news conference with Australian Prime Minister John Howard. The US$1 billion deal to sell the world's most populous Muslim country advanced submarines, assault helicopters and amphibious tanks marks another step in Putin's campaign to reassert Russian influence on the wane since the collapse of the Soviet Union. Arms sales are a key part of that strategy, with Russia hoping to surpass the United States as the world's largest weapons trader. Indonesia, which is battling sectarian violence and active militant Islamic group with ties to al Qaida, has had difficult relations with Washington, including on military aid and cooperation. Putin's visit to Indonesia was the first by a Russian or Soviet leader in nearly five decades. At the signing of the weapons deal, Indonesian Defense Minister Juwono Sudarsono said Jakarta was happy to reduce dependence on the United States. |

 minsan aaminin ko, naiingit ako sa bansang Indones, dahil: despite that their country is in economic turmoil than ours ( dahil, mataas ang value ng peso kaysa rupiah) they are able, to modernised it's armed forces than anything else. they got much modern equipment like tanks, ships, aircraft: pero tayo: ang pinakamoderno lang sa atin yung Cyclone class, kaya masakit sa akin pag nakikita ko yung Armed Forces ng kapitbahay natin. kaya minsan ayaw ko nang tignan dahil nahihiya ako..... I'll hoped na sana ...... maging priority ang national defence...... kahit tumutol ang mga aktibistang putok sa buho  |

Exchange rate does not mean that the RP has more money: in fact Indonesia has more of it. They are just subject to greater inflation... But the Indonesians know how to handle their oil and they ´know how to value LOCALLY BUILT PRODUCTS whereas the Pinoy with his crab mentality would even mock anything made by his fellowman and deem it inferior compared to modern goods... The development in Indonesia is impressive... We can do it too!  |

| Russia to deliver six Mi-35 attack helicopters to Indonesia RIA Novosti | Jun 19, 2008 JAKARTA: The Indonesian Armed Forces will soon receive a delivery of six Russian Mi-35 Hind attack helicopters, the Antara national news said on Wednesday. Nikolai Kireyev, head of the state-run arms exporter Rosoboronexport's office in Jakarta, said 15 Indonesian pilots and technical specialists have been undergoing training at the Kazan helicopter manufacturing plant in Russia's Volga area since March 2008. He said the delivery of six helicopters was due in July, but that an exact date was yet to be set. "The delivery date will be established after the parties finalize certain contract terms," he said. Russia delivered the first two Mi-35 helicopters to Indonesia in September 2003. Last fall, Vladimir Putin arranged a $1 billion loan for Indonesia to buy 22 Russian helicopters, 20 tanks and two submarines. In addition, Jakarta said it intended to buy six Su aircraft worth a total of $335 million. |

| First three Russian military helicopters delivered to Indonesia 20:42 | 03/ 07/ 2008 SURABAYA, July 3 (RIA Novosti) - The first three Russian Mi-17-B5 Hip H medium assault/transport helicopters were delivered to Indonesia on Thursday. Russia signed a contract with Indonesia in 2005 to supply six helicopters made by the Kazan helicopter plant. "Three helicopters were delivered to the Indonesian ground forces base in the city of Surabaya this morning. Their assembly will start Friday," Andrei Mironov, who will oversee the assembly of the helicopters, told RIA Novosti Thursday. Mironov said the remaining three helicopters would arrive in the country soon. Nikolai Kireyev, a representative of Russian state-run arms exporter Rosoboronexport in Jakarta, said 15 pilots and technical specialists from Indonesia visited the Kazan helicopter plant in Russia's Volga area in the spring for three months of training. In fall 2007, then Russian President Vladimir Putin agreed with Indonesia's leadership on Russia allocating a $1 billion loan for Indonesia to buy 22 helicopters, 20 tanks and two submarines made in Russia. Additionally, Jakarta said it would buy six Su aircraft worth a total of $335 million. Mi-17 is a version of the Mi-8 airframe. The helicopter has a takeoff weight of 13 metric tons and can carry up to 36 people or a payload of 4 tons within the cabin or 4.5 tons outside it. The helicopters have been delivered to 80 countries. http://en.rian.ru/world/20080703/112928894.html    |
