2 batteries are grossly inefficient for a nation the size of Indonesia. At least 15 batteries of S400.

I Know its not enough, but its a good start, s 400 is costly, the s 400 is intended to defend vital industry and city in java only

3 Batteries in Sumatra, at least 6-7 in Java, 1 or 2 in Celebes, at least 5 in Borneo, and then 1 or 2 in Western Papua (Irian Jaya). Who knows, perhaps 1 forward dispatched in Natuna.

i am sure about SBY not spent about Rp440 T in the last five years for military defense

came on take a look,
Indonesian defense budget in the last 5 year during Yudhoyono terms

2010 Rp 42.3 trillion
2011 Rp 47.5 trillion
2012 Rp 64.4 trillion
2013 Rp 81.8 trillion
2014 Rp 83.4 trillion

is only about 321 trillion Rupiah if we sum it. And for MEF, the current government surely will spent more than what Yudhoyono had done in the past

I think budgeting for defense espesially for alutsista procurement is not like that Ms.Madokafc. ministry of defense budget is one thing and budget for MEF is another thing. its different. ministry of defense budget is audited annualy and MEF audited per 5 years. ministry of defense budget comes from APBN, but the MEF budget partly from APBN but mostly not from APBN.

MEF1 budget is 150 Trillion rupiah, mostly from state credit. contribution from APBN trough KPJM (kerangka pengeluaran jangka menengah (5 tahunan)) its only 40 trilion taken by average 8 trilion rupiah from ministry of defense budget per year.

in MEF 2 from Pak RR statement is 417 trillion rupiah for 5 years. i think no of all budget taken from APBN, maybe from other source like state credit or another source. so we waiting until APBN validated by DPR in maret or april 2015..

Japan, Indonesia prepare defence trade MoU
Jon Grevatt, Bangkok - IHS Jane's Defence Industry
03 February 2015

Indonesia and Japan are preparing a defence co-operation agreement that will facilitate defence trade and potential industrial collaboration, according to the Indonesian government's top envoy in Japan.

Speaking to Indonesia's state-run news agency on 3 February, Yusron Ihza Mahendra, the Indonesian ambassador to Japan, said the defence memorandum of understanding (MoU) could be signed during Indonesian president Joko Widodo's visit to Tokyo, which is expected to take place in March.

He said the MoU would enable the transfer of Japanese-manufactured defence equipment to Indonesia as well as "joint research and production" between the defence industries of the two countries.

Mahendra did not elaborate, although IHS Jane's has previously reported that Indonesia has expressed interest in acquiring Japan's ShinMaywa Industries US-2 amphibious, fixed-wing aircraft for search and rescue operations.

@Nihonjin1051

We are hoping to see some meaningful collaboration between Indonesian and Japanese defense industries in "joint research and production" cooperation. Similar collaborations have been made with Europeans in various products (from aircraft -joint research and production, until explosive products-joint production), South Korea (warship/submarine-joint production/jet fighter-joint research and production) Turkey (medium tank-joint research and production), China (missile-production/ 2017 start joint-research and production), Iran (radar-joint research and production ), USA (radar-joint production), etc



-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Talking about SAM, I would rather agree on Madokafc opinion and in the same time I suggest us to put more money into our R&D effort in anti aircraft / missile program that according to the top general is under way currently. It is better to wait and give more chance (time and resources) to our industry and local engineers to come up with superior product. Just imagine if our nation is going to be hit by 1000 tomahawk like missile from sea, needs local production to counter such threat. By the way, only Great Powers are dare to attack us, and while in the mean time there is no such threat ever arise yet, but we don't know 10-15 years from now, so better prepare for the worst scenario then. In other words, please spend wisely.

Minggu, 8 Februari 2015 08:28 WIB | 1.137 Views

Bandar Seri Begawan (ANTARA News) - The governments of Indonesia and Brunei Darussalam have agreed to increase cooperation in the defense sector, Foreign Affairs Minister Retno L. P. Marsudi said.

"President Joko Widodo offered Brunei several new strategic industrial products," she stated here on Saturday.

The governments of the two countries conducted a bilateral meeting in Nurul Iman Palace, where they also agreed to increase cooperation in the sectors of labor, trade and investment.

"Now that the chambers of commerce of the two countries have signed memoranda of understanding, we hope trade between Indonesia and Brunei can be increased," Marsudi noted.

The Indonesian government also invited investors from Brunei to partake in businesses in Indonesia, including in the development of toll roads, power generators and railways.

In addition, President Jokowi also urged the government of Brunei to be involved in framing legal regulations for the protection of migrant workers.

According to the Indonesian foreign affairs minister, Jokowi also invited the Sultan of Brunei to attend the Asia-Africa Conference in Bandung in April 2015.

At the meeting, the two nations also agreed to cooperate in the health sector, including in medical research and development programs of agencies.

Furthermore, Trade Minister Rachmat Gobel pointed out that there is potential to increase the export value between Brunei Darussalam and Indonesia, such as in the field of agricultural and farm production.

"We hope the export value can be raised to lessen our trade deficit with Brunei Darussalam," Gobel remarked.(*)

KFX stalls after only one bidder meets development deadline
Jon Grevatt, Bangkok and James Hardy, London - IHS Jane's Defence Weekly
08 February 2015

Only one company has lodged a bid to develop the KFX aircraft, according to South Korea's defence procurement agency. Source: IHS/James Hardy

The Korean Fighter Experimental (KFX) aircraft programme stalled on 9 February when an insufficient number of companies lodged bids to secure a contract to complete development of the aircraft.

A spokesman from the country's military procurement agency - the Defense Acquisition Program Administration (DAPA) - told IHS Jane's that only one company had lodged a bid by the deadline.

This company is understood to be Korea Aerospace Industries (KAI), which is looking to undertake the KFX programme in collaboration with Lockheed Martin, with some of the work to be undertaken through defence offset attached to South Korea's programme to procure the F-35 Joint Strike Fighter.

The DAPA spokesman added that a second round of KFX bidding will start on 10 February and close at the end of the month. This bidding process will seek to encourage at least one other company to lodge a bid for the programme. South Korean procurement rules dictate that all defence development and manufacturing programmes must have at least two bidders.

South Korea's national airline Korean Air is reportedly preparing a bid in co-operation with Airbus, but did not lodge a proposal by the deadline. A DAPA official quoted by South Korea's Yonhap news agency said Korean Air is expected to lodge its bid before the end of February. Requests for comment from Korean Air and KAI were not answered.

Local media reports had also suggested Boeing might take part with a platform based on the F/A-18 Super Hornet. However, a Boeing spokesperson told IHS Jane's on 6 February that "at this time, we believe that the timing is not right to enter the bidding process for the KF-X programme. Should the time frame for this competition change in the future, Boeing would consider how our expertise in developing and manufacturing our portfolio of strike fighters could best apply".
