Indonesia's growth is on track and continue to expand, even in 2014 and 2015. The nominal GDP can be misleading, implying that the economy is contracting, while in reality it is still growing at steady pace. This is due to changes in IDR and USD exchange rate.

True that, relying on US dollar for currency benchmarking is less and less reliable these days.

PT DI to launch its newest CN-245 next year
State-owned aircraft manufacturer PT Dirgantara Indonesia (PT DI) is set to launch its newest CN-245 plane next year.

The company is still in the process of designing the plane, which is the derivative of CN-235 plane, PT DI President Director Budi Santoso said here on Tuesday.

"It is still being designed. God willing, we will start (producing it). It is the derivative of CN-235 plane. Hence, it is not a new plane because 80 percent of its components are same as those of CN-235 and 295. We hope it can fly in 2018," he added.

Budi stated that the manufacture of CN-245 could be completed in 2018 because it was not as difficult as that of CN-219.

"(The components of) N-219 are all new. For CN-245, we will just produce its tail, while the other components are the same. Likewise, its certificate is also the same as that of CN-235," he remarked.

He pointed out that the company was in the process of applying for a certificate for CN-245 by cooperating with an aircraft manufacturer based in Toulouse, France.

"If we are to certify our product with EASA or the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) by directly applying for it, then we would get the last turn," he added.

Airbus has expressed its support for the production of CN-245 because it would complement to its previous series, VN-235 and CN-295, he stated.

"God willing, the (certification) process will run quickly because it is not a new plane and nearly 80 percent of its components are already in place," he pointed out.

"The idea and design of CN-245 are purely that of Indonesians," he said.

CN-245 is a light plane developed with a capacity of carrying 30-50 people, he added.

Indonesia launches long-delayed LST for navy
Ridzwan Rahmat, Singapore - IHS Jane's Defence Weekly
24 January 2017
Indonesian shipbuilder PT Dok & Perkapalan Kodja Bahari (PT DKB) has launched a 117 m landing ship tank (LST) vessel on order for the Indonesian Navy (Tentara Nasional Indonesia - Angkatan Laut: TNI-AL).

The vessel, which has been named Teluk Kupang and given the pennant number 519, was launched on 17 January, after a delay of about 18 months, PT DKB confirmed with IHS Jane's on 24 January.

The LST was originally scheduled to be delivered to the TNI-AL in October 2014. However a company official told IHS Jane's at the Indo Defence 2016 exhibition in Jakarta that there were a number of "financial challenges" beyond the company's control that caused work on the LST to stop.

Tell me, what's the different between BTR 4 and Anoa. Well, I know that it has 8 wheels compared to Anoa 6 wheels. But there must be another technical reason why we take this vehicle for the Marine, while we have already have Anoa. What this vehicle can while Anoa can't.

Ukrainian BTR-4M armored vehicle was tested in the tropics

The BTR-4M armored vehicle which has been used in the Donbas from the very beginning of the conflict, has been successfully tested in the tropical climate in Indonesia.

As reported by UNIAN, five Ukrainian armored vehicles were delivered to the Marine Corps of Indonesia as part of a contract signed in the beginning of 2014 between the Indonesian Defense Ministry and the State enterprise, SpetsTechnoExport, a part of Ukroboronprom.

During the tests in the presence of Ukrainian specialists, the capabilities of the armored vehicles in the sea were tested, along with ammunition tests in the mountains and tests of the vehicles’ driving performance on both the road and ground.

“A 100 km march began at night when a convoy of BTR-4Мs went by road from the capital of Indonesia, Jakarta, to the coast of the Java Sea. At dawn, the armored vehicles tested their amphibious capabilities in the sea,” the press service of Ukroboronprom reported.

It is noted that each of the five BTR-4Мs took part in successfully firing at hypothetical targets at various distances.

The BTR-4М has an 8×8 wheel arrangement, is equipped with Deutz engines and Allison transmissions which meet NATO standards.

Simple..... btr is full amphibious meanwhile in other side the anoa only have a limited amphibious capability ....noted that anoa 2 amphibous prototype still undergo several test to meet TNI technical requirements... CMIIW

Marines want amphibious vehicle that can stay in Sea State level 3, Anoa isn't able to do so. If you see huge propellers on Anoa 2 amphibious, it's to maximize speed on water to fill tech requirement for Army. If Marines want local APC they have to wait for new 8x8 or uh, maybe local AAV

Airbus has no involvement in R&D, so it should be named N-245
