Indonesia ordering limpet mine for Naval use

Dalam Perang Dunia II, salah satu yang paling ditakuti oleh Angkatan Laut adalah ranjau limpet, yang dibawa oleh pasukan demolisi bawah air. Kapal-kapal perang yang perkasa bisa dikaramkan di pelabuhan begitu saja hanya oleh sekelompok penyelam, bukan saat melawan kapal perang lain hanya dengan bermodalkan ranjau limpet (limpet mine).

Ranjau limpet sendiri adalah ranjau yang didesain untuk ditempelkan oleh penyelam menggunakan magnet pada penampang lebar ranjau. Seorang penyelam bisa membawa sampai dua atau tiga ranjau limpet, berenang masuk melewati mulut pelabuhan, menempelkan ranjau limpet ke haluan kapal, dan berenang keluar tanpa terdeteksi sebelum akhirnya ledakan susul menyusul yang menenggelamkan kapal di sarangnya sendiri.

Dewasa ini penggunaan ranjau limpet sudah menurun, selain karena perang skala besar antar negara sudah jarang terjadi, namun juga karena teknologi deteksi semakin modern. Sudah ada alat seperti jaring anti penyelam dan sistem sonar pendeteksi manusia yang bisa dipasang di pelabuhan. Namun begitu, bukan berarti kapabilitas sabotase bawah air ini ditinggalkan begitu saja.

TNI AL adalah buktinya. Pada tahun 2016 lalu TNI AL masih membeli ranjau limpet seri MDM-7B dan MDM-8-A dari Bulgaria yang dibuat oleh Institute of Metal Science, berdasarkan dokumen Pemerintah yang didapatkan oleh penulis dan telah dirilis secara resmi. Dana akuisisi yang disiapkan untuk proses pembelian ini adalah sekitar Rp 15 Milyar.

Ranjau limpet MDM-7 sendiri dikatakan sebagai sebuah senjata bawah air dengan generasi baru, yang mampu ditempelkan ke lambung baja kapal, atau bisa dilengkapi dengan adaptor apabila lambung kapalnya menggunakan model non feromagnetik sehingga sesuai untuk menyabotase kapal perang modern atau kapal selam yang dilengkapi anechoic tile.

Bentuknya memang lucu, seperti baskom air dengan tutup, serta tali nilon pembawa untuk membantu memasangnya ke permukaan kapal. MDM-7 dilengkapi dengan timer elektronik untuk mengatur kapan ranjau akan meledak, minimal 30 menit dan maksimal adalah 48 jam. Dengan hululedak plastik dengan daya ledak setara 7kg TNT, MDM-7 sanggup melubangi baja sedalam 50mm, jadi diperlukan beberapa ranjau limpet di titik terlemah haluan untuk memastikan agar kapal sasaran karam.

MDM-7 juga dibangun dengan sistem anti tampering yang canggih, atau sukar dijinakkan lawan. Saat musuh mencoba untuk melepaskan ranjau yang sudah terpasang, maka ranjau ini akan langsung meledakkan diri apabila waktu pengamanannya sudah habis. MDM-7 juga dilengkapi dengan sensor cahaya yang melindungi pemicu, jadi jika penyelam lawan menyinarinya dengan senter bawah air dengan kecerlangan di atas 250 lumen, maka MDM-7 otomatis akan meledakkan diri.

Sementara untuk MDM-8-A, ranjau limpet yang ini lebih besar sedikit dibandingkan kakaknya MDM-7, dengan daya ledak setara 8 kg TNT untuk menghancurkan sasaran yang lebih besar. Dengan keberadaan ranjau ini, ditambah dengan kepemilikan SSBA (Senapan Serbu Bawah Air), tampak benar bahwa pasukan elit Kopaska TNI AL didesain untuk memelihara kemampuan tempur sempurna di bawah dan di atas permukaan.

Vietnam, Indonesia seek to enhance defense ties

OCTOBER 12, 2017 BY MYHANOI LEAVE A COMMENT

Indonesia is a regional country that previously established defense and security relations with Vietnam, when in 1964, Indonesia officially opened its Defense Attaché Office in Hanoi, while Vietnam set up its Defense Attaché Office in Jakarta in 1985.

General Ngo Xuan Lich, Vietnamese Defense Minister receiving his Indonesian counterpart Ryamizard Ryacudu in Hanoi in August 2016




Recently, the two sides have exchanged a number of visits of high-ranking defense delegations, including defense ministers and senior military officers.



Since 2015, the bilateral defense relations have witnessed five high-ranking defense delegations visiting each other, including Vietnam’s Air Defense – Air Force Commander’s visit and participation in the ASEAN Air Force Commanders’ Meeting in September 2016, Vietnamese naval ships led by a Deputy Naval Commander participating in an international fleet review and the multilateral naval exercise Komodoin Indonesia in April 2016, a Vietnamese Deputy Naval Commander’s visit to the international meeting for Maritime Security in Indonesia in September 2016, Indonesia’s Chief of Staff of the Air Force’s visits to Vietnam in November 2015 and April 2017 and Indonesia’s Defense Minister’s visit to Vietnam in August 2016.



Alongside the exchange of the high-ranking visits, Vietnam and Indonesia continuously enhance bilateral cooperation between the two navies, air forces and coast guardforces and cooperation on military personnel training, UN peacekeeping operations and anti-terrorism.



As the two countries share a maritime borderline, Vietnam and Indonesia also focus on promoting cooperation on maritime security, search and rescue and fishermen support.



At the same time, Vietnam and Indonesia actively consult and support each other at regional defense cooperation mechanisms within the frameworks of ASEAN and ASEAN and its partners, particularly the ASEAN Defense Ministers’ Meeting (ADMM) and ADMM+ (plus defense ministers from ASEAN’s partners). The two countries’ defense cooperation at the regional forums helps improve each country’s status and position and also contributes to promoting unity and consensus within the bloc.



During Vietnamese Party General Secretary Nguyen Phu Trong’s visit to Indonesia last August, both Vietnamese Party Chief and Indonesia President Joko Widodo highly valued the positive outcomes of the bilateral defense ties, saying that the bilateral defense cooperation is a highlight in the overall relations between the two countries over the past time. The two leaders also agreed that the two sides should promote defense cooperation as an important pillar in the bilateral relations and strive to achieve more practical outcomes in the coming time.



Particularly, the two leaders agreed to coordinate closely with each other in the fight against terrorism, cyber and hi-tech crimes, human and drug trafficking and transnational crimes.



The two sides also agreed to accelerate the negotiation process on exclusive economic zone demarcation, quickly reach comprehensive solutions to the remaining maritime issues between the two countries and handle legally-breached fishing boatsand fishermen of the other country in a spirit of humanity, friendship and unity of ASEAN and in accordance with the Vietnam-Indonesia strategic partnership while respecting each other’s sovereignty.



In short, Vietnam and Indonesia bilateral defense cooperation has seen positive developments in recent times.



Vietnam always wishes to promote defense ties with Indonesia for the mutual benefits of the two countries and for stability, peace and development in the region.

South Korea's KF-X Grows Considerably In Development

Aviation Week & Space Technology
The Korea Aerospace Industries (KAI) KF-X fighter keeps growing. What began as a concept design as big as the Eurofighter Typhoon has repeatedly gained length and wingspan and is now likely to be heavier than that earlier aircraft. The indigenous fighter will have a two-seat version, developers have confirmed, following years of depictions of it with just one seat. And the type will be equipped with MBDA Meteor and Diehl IRIS-T air-to-air missiles, says South Korea’s defense ...

Sayang masih pakai mekanisme hammer fired dari pada stryker fired yang lebih aman, semoga pindad cepat mengembangkan handgun dengan mekanisme stryker fired layaknya glock series, FN 509 atau Cz P10c
