Military must support state politics: President
Rabu, 16 Desember 2015 14:18 WIB | 427 Views

Jakarta (ANTARA News) - President Joko Widodo (Jokowi) has affirmed that personnel of the Indonesian Defense Forces (TNI) must support the policies of the state politics and not become involved in political practices.

"The politics of the TNI is the states politics. The TNI follows the state policies. Everything that the state does is for the people," President Jokowi stated while giving directives at the opening of the TNI Leadership Meeting 2016 at the TNI Headquarters here on Wednesday.

The TNI only follows a vertical command chain and believes in loyalty and obedience to the president as the highest commander of the TNI, he pointed out.

President Jokowi emphasized that in order to strengthen the defense system, Indonesia should meet the demands for the primary weapons defense system (alutsista) in an integrated manner at sea, on land, and in air as almost every country is competing to advance its defense technology.

"Build a strong TNI with modern alutsista," he remarked.

The head of state also called to develop the national defense industry to reduce dependence on imports.

He also urged to further enhance the capacity of the military personnel who are well-trained and professional.

TNI Chief General Gatot Nurmantyo emphasized that the TNIs loyalty lies with the president.

"I guarantee the highest loyalty of the TNI," he affirmed.(*)

Why is Indonesia not in the Saudi-led Sunni coalition against terror?

The Saudis love coalitions. The Sunni monarchy had the Americans, the British, the French and sundry other oil importers on their side to drive Saddam’s legions out of Kuwait in 1991. Earlier this year, the Saudi military – for which read the youngest defence minister in the world and the ambitious Deputy Prime Minister, Mohamed bin Salman al-Saud – struck at the Kingdom’s Shia Houthi enemies in Yemen in yet another coalition. This included not only Saudi fighter-bombers but jets from Qatar, the Emirates, Kuwait, Bahrain, Egypt, Jordan, Morocco and Sudan.

Saudi Arabia forms Muslim anti-terror coalition - without mention Isis
But now – with all the drama of a new Hollywood franchise – the Saudis have announced their new multinational military epic against the “disease” of Islamic “terror”, starring more Muslim and would-be Muslim states than ever before assembled since the time of the Prophet. Once more, as in the Yemen adventure (already plagued by humanitarian catastrophe and credible accounts of the slaughter of civilians under Saudi air attacks), Prince Mohamed, aged 31, is leading his country.

In all seriousness, he announced that the battle of this latest “coalition” – which includes countries as mythical as “Palestine”, as corrupt as Afghanistan and as powerless as Lebanon, with bankrupt Chad and the Islamic Republic of the Comoros thrown in for good measure – would require “a very strong effort to fight”. Few spotted, however, the curious absence from the 34-strong “coalition” of Indonesia, which has the world’s largest Muslim population.
This is very strange, since the 2002 Bali bombings, which killed 202 mostly foreign civilians, brought al-Qaeda into Indonesia’s own “war against terror”. Surely Indonesia, with a Sunni population of more than 200 million, would have an interest in joining their fellow Sunni Muslims in this unprecedented “coalition”? Or could it be that with more than 30 Indonesian maids on Saudi Arabia’s death row after grotesquely unfair trials, the country wants an end to this injustice before committing its army to the Kingdom?

Pakistan is an interesting addition because the last time it was asked to fight for the Saudis, in the present disastrous Yemen civil war, the parliament in Islamabad rejected Saudi Arabia’s request after the Saudis insisted that only Sunni Muslim soldiers in the Pakistani army would be allowed to participate.
All in all, then, a pretty vast “coalition” – most of whom are saddled with massive international debt and face constant economic collapse. So the real figures behind this extraordinary military force is not how many countries plan to participate, but how many millions – or billions – of dollars Saudi Arabia plans to pay them for their fraternal military assistance.

Along with the obvious question: just which strain of the “terror disease” does young Prince Mohamed intend to destroy? The Isis version – albeit spiritually founded on the same Sunni Wahabi purist doctrines which govern the Saudi state? The Nusrah version, which is espoused by the very same Qatar which is now part of this weird “coalition”? The Shia Houthis of Yemen, who are regarded as pro-Iranian terrorists by the Sunni Yemeni President whom the Saudis support? And what kind of relationship do the Saudis envision with the Iranians who are fighting in both Iraq and Syria against the same Isis “terror” which our favourite Saudi prince identifies as part of the “disease”? Neither Shia Iran nor Shia Iraq, needless to say, is part of the new international Muslim army.

So we know there’s a “coalition”. But who will it fight? How much will it be paid? And why is this a largely Sunni Muslim force rather than just a Muslim “coalition”?

Lumayan, ada peningkatan. Alutsista yang sudah sepuh mulai dipensiunkan.

KSAD TNI Jenderal Mulyono yang turut mendampingi kunjungan Presiden Jokowi dan Panglima TNI Jenderal Gatot Nurmantyo menyambut baik dukungan Jokowi untuk kehadiran panser Badak di jajaran alutsista TNI Angkatan Darat. Panser Badak ini akan menggantikan tugas tank yang sudah harus segera dikandangkan. "Kami ada rencana menggantikan jajaran tank Saladin yang sudah tua dengan Badak buatan Pindad," ujar Mulyono.

TNI chief strikes alarmist tone on proxy war

Indonesian Military (TNI) commander Gen. Gatot Nurmantyo has warned that Indonesia could be the site of proxy wars between major powers aimed at controlling the country’s natural resources.

“There are many ways that foreign countries could control our natural resources, one of the strategies is by using a proxy war. We can already sense that proxy war is creeping in today and we should be on the alert because it could be on its way,” Gatot said in Makassar, South Sulawesi, over the weekend.

A proxy war is a war instigated by a major power but in which it does not itself participates. It uses other governments and agents, including non-state actors to do the fighting. It can involve countries fighting their opponent’s allies, or assisting their allies in fighting their opponent.

Gatot said that the signs of a proxy war could already be felt.

“[The strategy of proxy war] includes control of the media in Indonesia. The media engineers conflict between the military and police or between political parties, and instigates societal and cultural change. [There is also] drug smuggling, which has been going on for a long time,” he said.

Gatot said that Indonesia could easily prevent the outbreak of a proxy war as it already had the solution.

“We have Pancasila and the communal spirit [gotong royong]. We should revive those values,” he said.

According to Gatot, currently around the world countries are scrambling to get their hands on dwindling natural resources, especially energy.

He claimed that the increased use of fuel between 2007 and 2009 had triggered skyrocketing costs of food by at least 75 percent.

“It is predicted that with the depletion of fossil-based energy resources, in the future conflict will be more about controlling food resources, clean water, and bio energy, all of which comes from areas on the equator,” Gatot said.

The TNI commander said that three key regions on the equator; Indonesia, Central Africa, and Central America, could be targeted by major powers hungry for resources.

“So Indonesia would be a center for energy resources, a food basket and source of clean water. It would be a future target for the agents of foreign countries that don’t have those kind of luxuries,” Gatot said.

Gatot has been preoccupied with the concept of proxy war for a while.

While serving as the Army chief of staff, Gatot said that he was convinced that Timor Leste seceded from Indonesia as a result of a proxy war waged to control the oil field in the Timor Gap.

Gatot also claimed that the major street protests and rallies that led to mass layoffs among 20 oil palm plantations managed by Indonesians were also part of a proxy war, which was directed at shutting down the operations of many Indonesian-controlled palm oil plantations, so that they could then be sold off to foreign companies.

He has also used the term “proxy war” quite liberally in dialogues with university students and the country’s youth.

Navy to choose submarines from among three vendors

The Navy is yet to make a decision on what type of submarines it will purchase to complete its weapons system procurement in the next five-year strategic plan.

Navy Chief of Staff, Admiral Ade Supandi said it would be some time before a decision could be made.

“The Navy and the military headquarters are still conducting a strategic review of the matter. The procurement takes time because it must go through several phases,” Ade said in Jakarta on Tuesday.

According to Ade, the first phase would be drawing up the submarines’ specifications, the second phase would be planning the budget and the last phase would be building the vessels.

The Navy is currently reviewing three types of submarine from three countries; the Russian Kilo class, the South Korean Chang Bogo and a German design.

“We are still conducting reviews, but we expect to buy a diesel-electric type, [from one of those vendors]” he said.

Previously, Navy spokesperson Comr. Muhammad Zainuddin told The Jakarta Post that the force had opted to procure Kilo-class submarines from Russia as part of the 2015-2019 strategic plan.

“There are many types of Kilo-class submarines, we have yet to decide which type we will purchase,” Zainuddin said.

The Russian Kilo-class 636 submarines are mainly intended for anti-ship and anti-submarine operations in shallow waters.

The type is also resilient in a variety of weather conditions. Countries that operate the Kilo class include Algeria, China, India, Romania and Vietnam.

Indonesia has a long history of procuring submarines from Russia and the former Soviet Union. In 1967, it acquired 12 Whiskey-class submarines

Indonesia also procured three Chang Bogo-class submarines from South Korea in 2011. Two of the boats would be built in South Korea, while the last would be built in Indonesia.

Defense Minister Ryamizard Ryacudu said the first two boats were now more than 50 percent completed.

Submarines, with their stealth capacity, are regarded as effective deterrents and Zainuddin said that Indonesia needed at least 12 such vessels to protect its territory.

The Navy currently operates two German-made submarines, the KRI Cakra (401) and KRI Nenggala (402), which were built in the 1980s. The boats are due to be decommissioned in 2020.

According to Ade, the Navy will make its decision regarding which submarines to purchase based on the current state budget situation.

The Navy is currently busy preparing a joint exercise, code-named “Komodo” with foreign navies from 32 countries to be staged in April 2016.

Ade said the exercise would take place off Padang, West Sumatra, and would focus on disaster mitigation.

“We’ve selected Padang, because the area is a disaster-prone area. We also want to introduce them to the area and our rich country,” Ade said.

He expected that the joint exercise would serve as a conduit for a transfer of knowledge and boost relations between neighboring countries.

Is it going to be smart bomb...?

I think that is a bomb that will replace Mk 82 bomb that is used in our F 16/ TA 50/F 5/Hawk

But of course it can be developed into a smart bomb one as the design is sufficient for that, just look on how our Hawk can hit the target accurately using Mk 82

 

[Nike]

Dumb bomb is never be replaced. They are easy to be made and cheap

 

[anas_nurhafidz]

@Indos I give u newest video.

look how Super Tucano/F16 hit the target accurately using Mk 82

Exercise Sikatan Daya

Checking...
1 Hawk can fitted with two Mk82

 

[pr1v4t33r]

@pr1v4t33r Is it going to be smart bomb...?

Aye aye, that's smart bomb currently being developed by Pindad, our own jdam kit. I think we can use it with mk 82 bomb.

 

[Indos]

Dumb bomb is never be replaced. They are easy to be made and cheap

What I mean is that Pindad can make two kind of bombs by using similar design if this prototype can be really proven during the test, dumb bomb like Mk 82 and Smart Bomb (JDAM). We will save a lot of money and Missile Department in Pindad can get huge budget annually that can be used for making more sophisticated missile.

Ammunition made by Western nations will be much more expensive by the way, and at war we might use hundred or thousands bombs like this, so we can stop buying Mk 82 and start using Pindad bombs if the bomb is quite good.
