Before going for LPD you should go for as many Frigates and Corvettes as you can than and also Submarines

Transport ships are essential for our defense.We have land borders to watch in 3 Islands outside Java : Timor Leste in Timor Island, Papua New Guinea in Papua Island, Malaysia in Kalimantan Island. The local territorial troops need support by rotating troops from other territorial command in other Island. We cannot focus in one element only.

Who knows how long it was under ferry operator before the Navy took it.. maybe more than 10 years already.

The ship was commissioned in 1998 from European ship-builders and 'donated' to the Navy in 2005. The reason ASDP passed the ship to the Navy is to cut off inefficient maintenance & operational cost because there is a significant reduce in passenger since more of Indonesian prefers to use cheaper and more efficient way of travel using low budget airlines.
Now the same problems are faced by the Navy since this type of ship only have limited passenger capacity, limited operational range and, as a ferry, doesn't have facility to support its passenger's daily needs for long journey (doesnt have enough storage, cabins or sufficient kitchen facility). Not like the ex-Pelni ship. So by the comings of the New LPD's, this ship is not needed anymore.

I know but LPD costs a lot in that you can get lot of Frigates and corvettes and than later you can go for LPD that is also needed because your country has lot of islands

Our situations require us to have amphibious capability as first priority, surface fleet combatant warship too must be build to protect them. Hence for every single LPD or LST to be acquired we will purchase at least up to two corvette or frigate to protect them. In this budget terms (2010-2014) we had acquired three unit of LST, and we had purchase at least five unit corvettes/frigate (three Bung Tomo class and two PKR Sigma). In the past, Habibie practically bought almost the entire East German Navy because of those requirements.

Indonesia is the master of transport technology & if you look at our geography you would know why we prioritize transport over everything.

Posted on May 29, 2014

The former Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF) Lockheed C-130H Hercules acquired by the Indonesian Air Force (TNI-AU) was one of four Hercules tactical transport aircraft involved the TNI combined military exercise known as Sikatan Daya (Sweeping Power) 2014.

The exercise, held since May 5, held its climax exercise on May 28 with a combine aerial bombardment by various TNI-AU fighter jets as well as an airborne assault manouver over the Air Weapon Range Pandanwangi Lumanjang, East Java.

The strike package over the AWR consist of 6 Sukhoi Su-30 Flanker, 4 F-16 Falcon Block 15, 3 KAI T-50i Golden Eagle, two Northrop F-5E Tiger II as well as two Embraer A-29 Super Tucano. Following the conclusion of aerial bombardment, a Boeing 737 flew overhead as ISR platform before an IAe NC-212 Aviocar conducts an photo reconnaissance over the area.

Once completed, a flight of four Hercules heavily laden with paratroopers conduct airborne assault over the target to sweep any remaining ‘enemy’ forces left.

The air exercise over AWR Pandanwangi Lumanjang reveals the capabilities of TNI-AU latest acquisition the T-50i and the Super Tucano in conducting aerial bombardment. The South Korean-made aircraft managed to carry 6 bombs each while the Brazilian COIN aircraft carried 4 bombs under their wings.

The two types of aircraft’s performance over East Java during the exercise will surely being closely watched and observed as the aircraft’s makers are now actively promoting the two aircraft respectively to other Air Forces in the ASEAN region.

Nevertheless, one thing amiss during the air exercise over AWR Pandanwangi was a UAV platform.

I see... but why destroy it for target practice?.. seems "mubazir"... for eastern Indonesia the ship could still work. Many new ferry ports build there.

Indonesia to Boost Submarine Industry

TEMPO.CO, Surabaya - Indonesian Defense Minister Purnomo Yusgiantoro, said that he will encourage the national submarine industry to grow before prioritizing submarine offers from Russia, Sweden, Netherlands and French.

According to Purnomo, submarine industry may trigger multiplier effects in the economy and industrial sectors. Purnomo also believed that the industry will be able to absorb labors.

"Russia has offered a submarine with 300 kilometers shooting range. But it doesn't fit our needs," Purnomo said on Wednesday, May 28, 2014.

Indonesia, Purnomo added, is developing a 209-type submarine that was once developed by Germany. He said that Indonesia is planning to build three submarines in collaboration with Daewoo Shipbuilding Marine Engineering (DSME). Two units are being built in South Korea and another one is being assembled at PT PAL Indonesia's dock through cooperation in Transfer of Technology.

Purnomo considered that Indonesia needs at least 15 submarines. Two units currently owned by the navy will be decommissioned if the three new submarines have been completed.
