Editorial: Toward a Professional TNI

Indonesia badly needs smart military leadership who understand and can adapt to the current challenges while believing in democratic values, especially in civilian rule.

This way, Indonesia doesn’t have to worry about military coup every time our democracy fails to provide solution to problems facing the nation. A military leadership that believes in civilian rule sends a strong signal that finally we can have a mature and unshaken democracy.

We recently have some concerns about military’s unrest — either emerging from the disappointment about low welfare and from feeling of alienation from the state affairs — as well as the weakness of the current government lead by civilian President Joko Widodo.

However, Indonesian Military (TNI) commander Gen. Gatot Nurmantyo has shown himself as not only an intellectual general but also a strong supporter of democratic principles.

In his speech in front of new graduates of military and police academy, he acknowledged Indonesia’s new challenges — clash over limited natural resources among nations — leaving behind TNI’s ambition to seek control over politics of the nation.

He then stressed the need for the nation’s security forces to adapt. In other words, Indonesian military must turn itself to world-class military professionals because more and more nations will come to Asia and the Pacific for economic gains.

But a healthy and professional military force will not be realized unless every soldier has adequate welfare, which is enjoyed not only by its generals and high-ranking officers but down to the lowest ranks.

How can a soldier with his or her family can live with only Rp 2 million ($148) a month? These soldiers will definitely moonlight in other jobs, involving civilian affairs and leaving their main duties behind.

The arrest of two soldiers for kidnapping a businessman only this week proves that soldiers are compelled to work on the side to get more money. Meanwhile, we know how generals live a lavish life at the expense of their soldiers. The money allocated to the military should be enough if used wisely, while there must be efforts to eradicate corruption inside the military.
 
Will be great, if this prototype can be pushed to be mass produced for replacing the old stock BTR-50. What could possibly hold back Marines to aquire this hansome amphibious armoured platform?

Good design and prototype but i think they should make wider track for more distributed weight.
Narrow track can easily sink into soft terrain like mud or wet sands during beach landing.

Looks like they use the old stock BTR-50 track for this one, this can be modified easily if marines agree to put some solid order in the future. True, there's room for improvement but overall a very good and solid design. They should bring this design to PINDAD and work together to finalized this prototype.

How about combining SBS & this amphibious armoured APC and joint develop one common platform for both Army and Marines?


The soil is so orange ...:what:
Need some colour correction? or maybe just the soil?
