Good choice, folks. German tanks are the finest in the world.

It will ensure that your military becomes one of the strongest in Southeast Asia. Already you are a major rising power in the ASEAN region.

Good luck!

Thank you sir, I am also sure that Indonesia and India could better both countries friendship and mutually guarding the peace in our region.

Your government has played a masterstroke regional move by cooperating strongly with second level strategic powers like Korea and Spain who are strong in terms of technology yet don't carry the liabilities of that of big powers like USA.

The T-50 was an excellent choice and judging by the regional dynamics in the coming years, Koreans will play a pivotal role in aligning the strategic dynamics of Asian defence.

Also the KFX project will give you a lot of potential.

We already have a good strategic partnership in terms of defence. The sad part is our regime is very bureaucratic and therefore we can hope to see change when a new government comes next year.

Dam now even that project has been delayed Man Indonesia really need to go for Sukhoi Planes as soon as possible other wise your Army and Navy are sitting ducks in case of any war

I totally agree with you, our air force capability is totally lacking relative to size of our territory.
I think the govt is relying too much on the kfx program. From what I read on internet South Korea has recently open bid for 60 latest generation fighters from US and europe. It seems the KFX project was never a major priority in south korea.

The best defense for Indonesia is to keep the country stay united.
Treat the minorities nicely yet under control, enhance social harmony between citizens of all ancestry and religions while at the same time increase productivity and remove poverty.
For any aggressor to take on Indonesia, it will try to break it up from inside first.
IMO Indonesia been doing a decent job for the pass few years.

Right now there are some movements in the country to replace our foundation from all-encompassing secular Pancasila, with laws from a certain religion. These groups are very visible during public protests. The word "secularism" increasingly become potrayed as evil as "atheism" and "liberalism" in public forum.
Lets just hope that the people of indonesia will see clearly that without pancasila, unity of the country is impossible.
And let them remember that during the war for our independence, christians, hindus, buddhist, and ethnic chinese also fought and sacrifice their lives for this country.

East Kalimantan Border Defense Gets Boost

Bandung. The East Kalimantan government has purchased a helicopter from Indonesian aircraft manufacturer Dirgantara Indonesia to monitor the province’s border with Malaysia, which is often used to move illegal logs from the country.

The Rp 120 billion ($12 million) Bell 412 EP helicopter is jointly produced by Bandung-based DI and US-based Bell Helicopter.

East Kalimantan Governor Awang Faroek Ishak said the helicopter will be used by the Indonesian military (TNI), which is tasked with patrolling the border. “This is a symbol of support to the TNI to help in protecting our border,” the governor said.

Awang also pledged to expand the runways of three airports allowing military planes to guard the province’s 1,038-kilometer border with Malaysia. The province will also allocate land for the construction of two military training centers, a Scorpion tank base, an infantry housing facility and other defense infrastructure.

Defense Minister Purnomo Yusgiantoro said the recently purchased helicopter will be used by a tactical squadron based in Berau district.

“This is an extraordinary helicopter. It has infra-red [cameras], radar and is able to lift heavy [military] equipment,” he said.

DI president director Budi Santoso said the helicopter can also be used for non-military purposes like disaster relief and search and rescue.

Maj. Gen. Dicky Usman, of the Mulawarman Military Command based in East Kalimantan, said his unit only had one helicopter, used to deliver supplies to military outposts along the border.

SE Asian Governments Keen On CN-295 Aircraft, DI Says
By Yuli Krisna on 8:27 pm July 15, 2013.

Bandung. The Ministry of Defense’s efforts to promote the CN-295 military transportation aircraft may soon prove fruitful, with several Southeast Asian nations expressing interest.

Supra Dekanto, director of the aircraft’s state-owned producer Dirgantara Indonesia, said Vietnam and Myanmar were among the countries that showed interest in the CN-295 while several other countries are scheduled for talks with the Ministry of Defense.

“The Philippines, Malaysia and Thailand have shown their interest but it will have to be followed up,” Supra said.

Defense Minister Purnomo Yusgiantoro said the government also planned to order 16 CN-295 units to form a squadron. “Our aim is to build a light transporter squadron using the CN-295,” he said.

The order is being produced at the Airbus Military factory and will this month arrive at Dirgantara’s factory, where finishing touches such as painting and works on the planes’ interiors will be done, Supra said, adding that the production process so far is only 10 percent complete.

“We are working on the empennage [tail stabilization] as well as the vertical and horizontal tail, step by step. Next year we will be making the rear fuselage and the empennage starting from the seventh plane,” Supra explained.

The CN-295 has also attracted interest from regional governments, including the provincial administration of East Kalimantan.

East Kalimantan Governor Awang Faroek Ishak said he planned to order the CN-295 planes to support the air travel system in the region. “In East Kalimantan, there are 22 airports but a lack of transportation,” he said in Bandung on Saturday.

According to Awang, three airstrips near the Malaysia border are being extended to allow planes such as the CN-295 to land.

Indonesia Negotiating Purchase of US Apache Helicopters

29 Jun 2013 20:46:45| News in English | Penulis : Supervisor
Semarang (Antara) - Defense minister Purnomo Yusgiantoro said that negotiations for the purchase of some Apache helicopters from the US were still ongoing.

"It is still under process but what is important is that the US government has approved it," he said here on Saturday.

Purnomo was here to monitor distribution of cash handouts for the poor following the government's recent decision to increase the prices of subsidized fuel oils.

The minister said the idea to purchase a number of assault helicopters was connected with the preparations for the formation of an Apache Squadron as part of efforts to build a defense system to safeguard the country's sovereignty.

He said several countries in Asia such as China and Japan are currently also building their defense forces.

"Seeing the conditions we must also prepare ourselves but it is not for war but for protecting Indonesia's sovereignty," he said.

He said the Apache helicopters would also be used to secure the country's natural resources that are located in areas bordering other countries.

The minister said as part of the development of the country's defense forces the Indonesian Navy is also preparing anti-submarine helicopters that could be carried by Indonesian warships, a fleet of destroyers of ships with missiles and submarines.

"Thank God, Indonesia's economy is quite good so that some funds could be used for improving public welfare and defense power to meet future challenges," he said.
The army plans to purchase 40 Apache helicopters at a cost of US$40 million per unit. (*)
