UK government reports export credit arrangements for 2020
by Charles Forrester
The UK's export credit agency, UK Export Financing (UKEF), revealed in its annual report on 22 June that it had underwritten a record GBP12.3 billion (USD17.1 billion) for UK industry during the 2020/21 financial year.
Key transactions in the annual report included the beginning of the drawing of GBP1.13 billion to BAE Systems in support of the manufacture of Eurofighter Typhoon and BAE Systems Hawk trainer aircraft to Qatar. In addition, buyer credit guarantees for Indonesia were supplied for the acquisition of Lockheed Martin C-130J Hercules medium transport aircraft (maximum liability of GBP74.6 million) and air-defence systems from Thales UK (maximum liability of GBP29.8 million).
UKEF supported the financing of C-130J Hercules aircraft for Indonesia during 2020. (Janes/Patrick Allen)
The report also noted that “a strong pipeline of transactions is in place for 2021–22” for defence deals. The organisation is also anticipating a significant transaction in support of the space sector in the coming months, with space also being a potential significant growth area.
The maximum export credit liability for the defence sector in 2020–21 was valued at GBP1.24 billion, representing 10% of overall liability for the UK government. The aerospace sector dominated support during the year, accounting for 59% of export credit liability worth GBP7.07 billion. The impact of the Covid-19 pandemic on the commercial aviation sector drove much of this support, with a total of GBP6.2 billion provided to Rolls-Royce, British Airways, and easyJet for working capital requirements to support ongoing operations.

Some members in other forum feel confused of why UK has relation with this C 130 J. The answer maybe due to the engine which is made by Roll Royce and the air defense system from Thales England could be the flare and chaff for the C 130 J planes ordered by Indonesia.

This is the data shows Indonesian Army personnel numbers and budget for each branch. TNI AD (Army), TNI AL (Navy) and TNI AU (Air Force). Renbut means budget needs and Indikatif means the real allocation from Finance Ministry.
This data is shown by parliament member and shows Indonesian Armed Force total personnel is around 450.000 (Almost half million). If Police paramilitary units like Brimob is included (30.000 personnel) and also Police Sabhara units so the real Indonesian Armed force is already half million (500.000 personnel)
Brimob Police
Sabhara Police unit

This seems to be the routine annual budget and is not part of the $125B procurement plan... we can see here the army getting the lion share of the budget, simply due to the fact that they have the largest number of personnel... While in the procurement plan the airforce & navy will be getting the lion share of the budget...
btw... DCA with France now formally signed..
also JMSDF naval visit

Look like you are quite late in updating about our procurement plan until 2024. I have posted the link in KFX/IFX thread and I also give some explanation about the number.
Here the Planning Ministry only approve 20 billion USD procurement for Armed Force (2020-2024 period) and the number can be slashed further by Finance Minister if SMI think necessary. At least AH has seen fighter procurement is slashed from 1.6 billion USD approved by Planning Ministry into just 1.1 billion USD by Finance Minister.
Still the budget could be even diverted to buy LIFT advance trainer ( T50 Golden Eagle) as AH reveal where FM approval is for LIFT advance trainer, not fighter. If we see Air Force planning, training aircraft and helicopter acquisition only get 300 million USD foreign loan, so it is not clear whether what has been said recently by AH is for 1.1 billion USD or 300 million USD.
So far Finance Minister has rejected 56 foreign loan for defense procurement (Jane Defense report) and just release the funding for equipment that our local industry hasnt got the program until the next 10 years (MRTT, LIFT advance trainer, Big transport plane ( C 130 J), and other program (backed by foreign loan) that include local defense industry participation (modernization of Usman Harun Corvette) and frigate (Iver with all ships built in PT PAL) and submarines (Changbogo where cooperation with PT PAL and complete third submarine building in PT PAL).
Here about the Planning Minister only approve 20 billion USD for defense procurement (foreign + local acquisition)

It is related to Prabowo stubborn effort to buy Rafale which price is 225 million USD per plane and cannot be upgraded into 5 generation fighters, while he can wait KF 21/IFX program instead with 65 million USD price tag per plane ( developed by Korean and Indonesian and the IFX will be produced in Indonesia inshaAllah) and can potentially be upgraded into 5 generation fighters since the design has already used STEALTH parameters as main consideration and target, composite material for the fuselage and the belly part of the plane is made in modular so possibly can be replaced with the belly that has internal weapon bay (IWB) that will be developed for KF21/IFX later block inshaAllah.

French Judge To Probe Rafale Jet Sale To India
The 7.8-billion-euro ($9.3-billion) deal for 36 planes between the government and French aircraft manufacturer Dassault has long been mired in corruption allegations.

Paris:
A French judge has been tasked with investigating a controversial 2016 multi-billion-dollar sale of Rafale fighter jets to India on "corruption" suspicions, the national financial prosecutors' office (PNF) said Friday.
The 7.8-billion-euro ($9.3-billion) deal for 36 planes between the government and French aircraft manufacturer Dassault has long been mired in corruption allegations.
The PNF had intially refused to investigate the sale, prompting French investigative website Mediapart to accuse it and the French Anti-corruption Agency of "burying" suspicions surrounding the September 2016 deal.
In April, Mediapart claimed "millions of euros of hidden commissions" were given to a go-between who helped Dassault conclude the sale, of which "some... could have been given as bribes" to Indian officials.
Dassault retorted that no wrong-doing was flagged in the group's audits.
After the reports, France's Sherpa NGO, which specialises in financial crime, filed an official complaint for "corruption" and "influence peddling" among other accusations, prompting an investigating magistrate to be designated to probe the deal.
Sherpa had already asked for an investigation into the deal in 2018, but the PNF took no action.
In this first complaint, the NGO had denounced the fact that Dassault chose Reliance Group as its Indian partner, a conglomerate headed by billionaire Anil Ambani, who is close to Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
Dassult had intially won a contract in 2012 to supply 126 jets to India and had been negotiating with Hindustan Aeronautics Limited (HAL).
By March 2015, those talks had almost reached a conclusion, according to Dassault.
But in April of that year, after PM Modi paid an official visit to France, the talks suddenly broke down to general surprise.
Reliance Group, which has no experience in aeronautics, replaced HAL and finalised a new contract for 36 jets.
In January 2016, at the time of the negotiations, Reliance had financed a film co-produced by Julie Gayet, the partner of Francois Hollande, who was president at the time.
Sherpa believes this could constitute "influence peddling".

Indonesian Marines to possibly get Excalibur Army Kapa amphibious vehicles
Defense News July 2021 Global Security army industryPOSTED ON WEDNESDAY, 07 JULY 2021 16:30
Mid-June 2021, photos appeared showing trials of the Kapa amphibious tracked vehicle carried out by Czech company Excalibur Army, Defense Studies reports. Actually, these trials were likely conducted at the Myslejovice Water Training Ground, Březina Military District, in 2020.

Kapa is needed as a tracked amphibious personnel and cargo carrier, possibly in two versions, thus. The prototype, whose scale model was apparently unveiled at IndoDefense 2016 exhibition, was previously introduced in mid-May 2020. The first prototype has the following specifications as stated on the Valka website: empty weight 20,000 kg ; maximum payload: 13,000 kg or 72 passengers ; cargo space of 7,800 x 2,800 mm ; maximum gross weight: 33,000 kg ; crew: 2 people ; size L-L-T (m): 10.5-3.3-3.1 ; ground clearance: 43 cm ; engine: Tatra diesel 390 kw ; maximum road speed: 40 km/h ; maximum speed on water: 11 km/h ; maximum slope gradient : 27° ; trench crossing : 2.50 m ; vertical obstacle : 0.65 m.
The Indonesian Marine Corps (Marinirs) has received a budget allocation for the purchase of 54 tracked amphibious transport vehicles worth USD 398 million to be spent until 2024. The number of vehicles is 54 units for 3 Marines or 18 units per PasMar. 18 is the number of towed howitzer units in 1 Marine Howitzer Battalion consisting of 3 batteries. Kapa will be used to carry howitzers from ship to shore in an amphibious operation.
The Marine Corps currently operates two types of amphibious artillery-carrying vehicles, namely the PTS-10 and K-61 types, both types needing to be replaced. Excalibur Army’s Kapa is a contender for this replacement.

Prabowo’s defense diplomacy
A recently signed defense cooperation agreement (DCA) with France is of strategic importance as it will enable Indonesia to advance the professional standard of its soldiers.
