If the army keep adding heavy armored assets into their inventory, no doubt they'll end up getting more amphibious landing ships with bigger and better capability. The planned 2000DWT LST is quite similar in size with the biggest LST owened by the navy, KRI Teluk Bintuni.



With their amphibious capability, the army can move in sync behind the marines in amphibious assault waves.

They will keep adding more armor, especially tanks and IFV, their modernization programme is keep going

I can imagine it in my mind....the usual noisy and smoky marine assault wave with marine infantry in landing crafts, BMP-3F, BTR-50 and PT-76....once the beach is secured; Leopard 2, Caesar and other TNI-AD assets, as well as battalions after battalions of infantry from TNI-AD land in a more orderly fashion...

That's pretty obvious. While the army get less share of defense budget compared to the other branch, they still can get substantial amount of assets, since the aquisition cost is relatively low. We can get more than 100 Leo2 ++ for the cost of 1 PKR frigate.

They should carry out join amphibious assault exercise together sometimes. Kita buat skenario latihan menginvasi negara2 kepulauan pasifik macam vanuatu, terus disiarkan besar-besaran.

Are there any plans to order more Marder IFV? There was an ARC article that the Army could order 80 more Marder. Any update on that news?

that's bold.....but with only a token police force as defense force, should be quite easy

We should make clear statement to the pacific islands nation like vanuatu, solomon and FLNKS to stay away from supporting separatist movement in Papua. If they dare to give separatis NGO membership in MSG, we should immediately freeze our bilateral relation and put Embargo on this tiny nations.

The most important thing is to make West Papuans as the best Melanesians and also proud Indonesians. Just look to the east...Port Moresby is a crime-cursed capital and much of the country is lawless, effectively controlled by tribes and gangs. Compared to Jayapura and the rest of West Papua...it's like heaven and earth. But it's far from enough, welfare and infrastructure need to be further developed. West Papuans are pure full-blooded Indonesians and always will be....
