683 hull number, fast patrol boat. Only gun And no missile
Correction the pennant number is 653.

IINM boat with first pennant number 6xx is a fast missile boat. Fast patrol boat with only gun and no missile is with the first pennant number 8xx. I think this is a KCR-40 Class.

KRI Terapang (648).

Jakarta and Moscow have agreed to enhance cooperation on cybersecurity to counter transnational crime, especially terrorism.

The two countries agreed to intensify cooperation on securing the distribution of digital information and to hold regular consultations on security and defense, Coordinating Political, Legal and Security Affairs Minister Wiranto said on Monday.

The basis for this cooperation had been laid-out by then-security chief Luhut Pandjaitan following the signing of several bilateral agreements between Indonesia and Russia when President Joko "Jokowi" Widodo visited Moscow in May, Wiranto said.

"We see an importance to deepen our discussions on the two countries' security as well as regional security, and we will follow up the cooperation with more concrete measures," Wiranto said following a meeting with Russian Ambassador to Indonesia Mikhail Galuzin.

Among other things, the cooperation was aimed at improving cyber technology amid concerns about the spread of radical ideas and the funding of terrorism through online platforms, Wiranto said. (bbn)

Indonesia explores possibility of obtaining US aid to finance base in South China Sea
Ridzwan Rahmat, Singapore - IHS Jane's Navy International
21 September 2016


Key Points
  • Indonesia is seeking financial support from Washington to upgrade its naval bases
  • Upgrades will strengthen the Indonesian navy's presence in the South China Sea and Sunda Strait
A delegation of five senior Indonesian Navy (Tentara Nasional Indonesia-Angkatan Laut, or TNI-AL) officers are currently in the United States to explore the possibility of tapping into Washington's foreign military financing (FMF) programme to fund upgrades of a naval base in the South China Sea, sources within the service told IHS Jane's on 20 September.

The delegation of flag officers has been invited under Washington's Distinguished Visitor Orientation Tour (DVOT) and will also make visits in several cities to study the US Navy's installations and training facilities including Quantico in Virginia, and San Diego in California. The visits are taking place over two weeks till end-September 2016.

Jakarta is currently in the process of upgrading the TNI-AL's facilities at Ranai on Pulau Natuna Besar to support a larger deployment of ships in the South China Sea region.

A transcript of a meeting between Indonesian National Armed Forces commander, General Gatot Nurmantyo, and the Indonesian House of Representatives commission on defence, intelligence, and foreign affairs (Komisi I) in February 2016 also revealed that the country is planning to locate its third submarine base on the same island.

Besides upgrading its base in the South China Sea, proceeds from the FMF is also being planned for the upgrade of another naval base at Piabung in Lampung, which lies close to the Sunda Strait - a major sea line of communication through the archipelago.

Depending on the outcome of this exploratory visit, IHS Jane's understands that a formal request for the FMF will be made by the Indonesian Ministry of Defence to the US' Department of Defence at a later time.

Indonesia Military is not having much men power.
Our military has 450.000 active personnel, 400k reserve, not including 200.000+ official and unofficial paramilitary forces, which is quite threatening among our neighbors such as Singapore, Malaysia and Australia. And those are still under minimum level.

Indonesia Military is not having much men power.
indonesian national armed force has personnel around 400 000 men
indonesian police force also has a personnel around 400 000 men
indonesian coast guard has a personnel around/under 1000 men... they're a newly developed department.

yes. both as a total and as a percentage of population indonesian military/paramilitary personnel is lower then pakistan. but one have to keep in mind that indonesia is not really in cold war with others, the internal situation is also relatively peaceful. thus development of the country and population are focused not in military strength, but rather the rest of the country's aspect like economy, social welfare, education, and so on and so on.
