India is in talks with Indonesia to export indigenously-made Air Borne Early Warning and Control System (AEWAC).
“The AEWAC exports would be the first major export of defense systems from India under Prime Minister led government and the move fits into the government’s push to reduce import of weapon systems and increase exports,” Dr Christopher Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) Director General told NDTV Monday.

“The government has clearly told us that expect technology and system that fall in the strategic we are free to export,” Dr Christopher said.

On being asked how he rated the Indian Private sector and its contribution to defense research and development, Dr Christopher said that for Make in India to be successful in defense systems with the private sector taking the lead “there is need to hand hold” the private companies. Development of defense systems is time consuming and costly. “The government could consider a fund to help out the private sector,” he said,

Korps Pasukan Khas - (Air Force Special Forces Corps) is the Special Forces corps of the Indonesian Air Force(IAF) or TNI-AU in Indonesian. In Indonesia, this unit also sometimes called Orange Berets (Baret Jingga in Indonesian) because of the color of their service headgear.

Paskhas is trained to seize and defend airfields from enemy forces, and then prepare the airfields to be able to facilitate friendly airplanes to land. This capability is known as Frontline Air Base Establishment and Management Operation.

Paskhas has the only IAF special forces and has many air-oriented combat abilities, such as combat-control team, airfields control, combat SAR, jump master, or ground-forward air control. They can also operate as air traffic controllers (ATC).

C130 Hercules A-1314, Interiornya tidak seperti hercules pada umumnya karena tugasnya sebagai angkut vip, kursi menghadap ke depan, toilet, oven, tempat cuci piring, LCD TV ada di dalamnya, yang paling unik yaitu adanya kursi menghadap ke belakang yang posisinya di paling depan kabin, asiknya saat pesawat full power untuk take off, badan harus ditahan agar tidak merosot

[Saif al-Arab]

It warms my heart when I see Indonesia moving forward as a country.

I wish that KSA, GCC and the Arab world as a whole increased our cooperation and ties with Indonesia, Malaysia and Brunei. We have very old religious and cultural ties aside from ancient trade relations.

Not only that but millions of Indonesians and Malaysians (South East Asians in general) have Arab ancestry and many South East Asians (mainly Indonesians from Sumatra and Java) also settled in Arabia and parts of the Arab world, mainly in Hijaz.

I just wanted to extend my greetings to the Indonesian users here and I at least am hoping for closer ties between the Arab world and South East Asia in the future.

Especially military cooperation.
