Cool, PT. PAL will get another order for 2 LPD, the design must be closer with the new Philippine's SSV rather than the existing hospital ship, KRI Soeharso.

Bad Idea.. we should go to LHD platform with bigger ship.. 180-190 Meters maybe. our Capacity to build LPD was proven since we get deal from Phillipina. this order is very nice moment when they need to become hospital ship and don't need weapon system. This is can become pilot project to build Real LHD, maybe like Mistral Class..

That would be awsome if we can get 180m naval hospital ship. We can modify PT.PAL's Star50 for this role. But even if in the end we only get 2, 125m LPD, that's pretty good already. No complain from me.

ISIS Fails To Achieve Its Goals With indonesian Terror Attack

By: Walter Lohman
Walter Lohman is Director of The Heritage Foundation's Asian Studies Center.

ISIS has claimed responsibility for the terrorist attack in Jakarta, Indonesia this week that claimed two innocent lives and left 20 injured. This is the most significant attack in Indonesia since 2009. With all condolences to the victims, one thing is for sure, the terrorists will lose this round, too.

The Indonesian people are nothing if not resilient.

It is a very difficult calculation to make, but ISIS may have actually come out on the losing end of this one attack itself. Five of the attackers are dead. And for all the momentary mayhem, all reports seem to indicate life returning to near-normal in the area of the attack remarkably quickly.

If the numbers don’t matter and what really counts is the sense of terror that the attacks produce, the perpetrators seem to have failed on both scores. Beyond this, and as importantly, there must be a great deal of intelligence to gather in the aftermath of the attack, intelligence that could contribute to winding down the ISIS threat in the same way that Indonesian authorities disrupted and wound down terrorist networks since the 2009 attacks on the Marriott and Ritz Carlton.


Indonesia does face a real threat from ISIS. It may have as many as 300 of its citizens fighting in Syria and Iraq. And at home, it has several pro-ISIS groups to contend with, one of which controls a very small and remote (but symbolically important) bit of the sprawling archipelago.

This latest attack, in fact, may bring the two ends of the threat, domestic and foreign, together. Reports indicate that the attack may have been organized by an Indonesian citizen, who is currently the leader of the Southeast Asian unit of ISIS, fighting in Syria.

Indonesia also has a history older than ISIS and al-Qaeda of dealing with terrorists. It has done so successfully throughout its brief history as an independent nation, even as it has grown and modernized its economy and become after 1998 a full blown democracy.

Indonesia and Denmark to pursue industry collaboration.

Indonesia and Denmark are discussing a potential defence industrial collaboration programme featuring the co-production of naval vessels and accompanying mission systems, the Ministry of Defence (MoD) in Jakarta has said.

According to an MoD statement on 13 January, defence industry officials from Denmark held meetings in Jakarta with counterparts from Indonesia, including defence minister Ryamizard Ryacudu.

The statement said the theme of the meetings was defence industry co-operation based on technology transfers to Indonesian industry. Products under consideration, it said, include unspecified naval vessels, radars, and other electronic systems to support naval operations.

The MoD quoted Denmark's ambassador to Indonesia, Casper Klynge, as saying, "This is more than buying and selling.

Russia orders 50 Su-35S multirole fighters
Nikolai Novichkov, Moscow - IHS Jane's Defence Weekly
13 January 2016

The Russian Aerospace Force (VKS) ordered 50 Sukhoi Su-35S 'Flanker E' multirole fighters from Sukhoi in late December 2015, a United Aircraft Corporation (UAC) source told TASS-DEFENSE.
According to the source, the new order is valued at more than RUB60 billion (USD788 million) and the Komsomolsk-on-Amur Aircraft Plant (KnAAZ, a Sukhoi affiliate) will build the aircraft. Thus, it will have had its hands full until 2020. In addition to this order, the period is to see the execution of China's order for 24 Su-35S's, while the company hopes to sign a contract with Indonesia for 12 aircraft soon. According to the source, initially, the Su-35S program was expected to pay its way after 72 aircraft had been built. If the contract with Indonesia is signed, a total of 134 fighters of the type will have been delivered to the customers before 2020.

According to the UAC source, talks with Algeria on 12 Sukhoi Su-32 tactical bombers - an export variant of the Su-34 'Fullback' - have made good progress, and the country may acquire up to 40 aircraft of the type.

Russia's order in 2009 for 48 Su-35S's has now been fulfilled, with most of the aircraft now delivered. A VKS Su-35S unit in Russia's Eastern Military District started flying the Su-35S in late December 2015, while another unit in the Primorsky Territory is slated to receive Su-35S's in 2016.

The Su-35S is billed by Sukhoi as a heavily upgraded fourth-generation super-manoeuvrable multirole fighter developed with the use of fifth-generation aircraft technologies. It features a sophisticated avionics suite based on a digital information management system, a cutting-edge radar with a long-range aerial target acquisition and increased multiple-target tracking/engagement capabilities, and enhanced thrust-vectoring engines.

Jakartans express defiance and return to work after terror attacks

By JEWEL TOPSFIELD

A deliberate attack on foreigners in Jakarta would mark the first such targeted terror attacks on Indonesian soil since 2009 and a clear instruction from Islamic State to take revenge on Coalition forces, a leading terror analyst has warned.

Terrorism expert Sidney Jones said if Starbucks had been deliberately targeted it would be the first targeting of foreigners since the 2009 attacks on the Marriott and Ritz Carlton hotels.


"That would reflect IS instructions to basically take revenge on Coalition forces," she said.

Ms Jones said she was sure the terrorists had planned an attack on a larger scale than the "incompetent mess" that took place.

Seven people were killed in the attacks, including two civilians - an Indonesian and a Canadian - and five terrorists.

Indonesian National Police Chief Badrodin Haiti said one of the dead terrorists was Sunakim, aka Affif, who had participated in a militant training camp in Aceh.

He confirmed Bahrun Naim, who is fighting in Syria with Islamic State, was behind the attacks.

"He arranged and financed the act but how he did it technically we don't know yet," he said.

Cirebon Police Chief Sugeng Hariyanto said an IS flag was found during a raid conducted after the attacks on Thursday night in Cirebon on the north coast of Java.

He said three men were arrested based on preliminary investigation linking them to the Sarinah attacks.

"How they are linked we are still investigating," Mr Hariyanto said.

"We found cut up plastic pipes, (similar to those used in the Jakarta attack), an ISIS flag, a paper for a baiat (the ceremony of the appointment of a leader), a laptop and several other items."

At least one arrest was also made on Friday in Bekasi in West Java.

National Counter Terrorism Agency (BNPT) director Brigadier-General Dr Hamidin said there would have been more victims if the terrorists had been better armed, and he noted the bombs they carried were all low explosive.

"Quality and quantity wise the attack was nothing like the Marriott hotel or Bali bombings. But they chose a soft target, the public, in a crowded area and selected Starbucks to aim at foreigners," he said.

"It may not be as big as before but the effect was just as big."

John Coyne, a senior analyst at ASPI, said the attack was a strategic victory for ISIS.

"It has raised the global profile of ISIS in Asia; and it has smashed the public's illusion that Indonesian intelligence collection against terrorism is omnipresent – it can be defeated," he wrote in the Strategist.

Mr Coyne said the police-to-police relationship between POLRI (Indonesian police) and the Australian Federal Police had been in a steady state of decline for a number of years.

"To successfully respond to the Jakarta attacks, the AFP, amongst other national security agencies, will need to work with the Jakarta national security -------
