Almost in that time (embargoed time) all of our industry is almost bankrupt, anything can be sell we sell them, i still remember how we strugle to make our engginer living in very redicolous sallary and there are almost no contract for years... we close so many line and lost many employe. I would rather avoid any embargoe in many ways, its not making money at all by fixing scrap, we done no bussiness. Young generation should know how suffer our industry coz of it...Why????
I have no understanding why they are trying to make electric engine combat vehicle. We don't even have battery technology yet and as it stands its yet another logistical nightmare in the making.
A lot of rumours flying around but here's the super-summarized-facts only Chronology:
17/08/2019 Thursday, Malang:
Papuan Students & a Pro-Papuan Independence NGO hold a protest march against the New York Agreement, in which America recognise Indonesian sovereignty over Papua in 1962. Of course, they had no police permit, since the name of the NGO is a clear signal it is up to no good.
Because of that, no police escort, local residents (unclear if mobilised or spontaneous) got into clash with separatist marchers. Many people, including Papuans, injured.
Malang Mayor makes statement that Papuan Students causing civil disturbances will be sent home.
19/08/2019 Saturday, Surabaya:
Local residents and NGOs surround Papuan Student Dormitory after photo of Indonesian Flag in a gutter is circulated, alleging it was done by Papuans in front of the Papuan Student Dormitory. No actual evidence beyond photo is found.
No injuries, as Papuans stay in their Dormitory.
Police later come to the building, shooting tear-gas into the dormitory and detain several students for questioning. It is unclear if they faced resistance while entering the dormitory, no injuries of students reported after detainment process.
Students later released as there was no evidence that they were perpetrators and no witnesses or confessions.
20/08/2019 Sunday, Papua:
Multiple Riots in Papuan cities, citing racist remarks of Malang Mayor and racism displayed by local residents, pro-Indonesian NGO, and Surabayan police. Many riots become violent, with vandalism to state symbols conducted.
Jatim Governor issues apology for the events in her province.
21/08/2019 Monday, Malang:
Tension in Papua lowers.
Malang Governor issues apology.

Basically that. A lot of people are saying the Surabaya incident was set up. Some say it was by Islamic Radicals stirring up trouble. Others say it was by Pro-Independence activists trying to provoke a clash that would anger Papuans who were neutral in regards to Independence.
Yeah, we were pretty unlucky that the embargo period also during time of weak economy, and that our internal problem wasn't big enough to justify full investment in military industrial complex (Lucky thing actually). Funny it took a disaster to finally get the ball rolling.
Yeah, I'm not even sure that old relic is bulletproof. That armour is damn old I won't be surprised if even smallarms fire will piece it.
