Indonesia Defence Forum

“Indonesia is a leader in Asean and has a major influence in Southeast Asia’s international politics. It has a big say on how Asean is moving forward,” said Mie Oba, a professor of international relations at the Tokyo University of Science.

This should be bolt, so it is not us, Indonesian PDF members, who should be blame every time we mention about our political weight in here................:D

The world in general agree with that premise. Only the ignorant, stubborn donkey will refuse to acknowledge that.

I think its like @Old soldier never die just say in his post above - it refers to communication jamming where we have secure anti-jamming communication system.
But what im talking about our SEAD capability is to suppress enemy radars / air defense system, blinding their radar and neutralize it using anti radiation / radar-seeker missile.
This is related to our previous conversation about Smart vs Dumb bombs. When u say its too high-tech, im responding by explain it that such capability is standard for modern air warfare because strategic airstrike cannot be done effectively by using dumb bomb in today standard. Not to mention if the target located in dense population area. We cannot just carpet-bombing them since it will result in massive collateral damage, low accuracy and higher risk to our striker flight since they will come inside enemy SHORAD range.

Thanks for the explanation above bro, really appreciated it

But you misunderstood me mate, what I say is that it is still crucial to have a practice using dumb bomb. It is not easy to do such maneuver. The skills can be used for dog fight as well, the skills is useful to practice how to lock using missile, and how to shoot using bullets if dog fight situation pushes pilots to do so.

I know that we already have Maverics and have tested that with F 16 so I know about that stuff....

I dont like carpet bombing either mate, no civilian should die because of war, it is banned in Islam.
 
Sangat disayangkan sekalipun pindad dah buat Kek MK82 buat sutuc/F16/hawk atau Pt dahana sudah buat jdumb bom LPG buat sukhoi tapi di beberapa operasi TNI AU masih lebih memilih make Bom impor. Mk82 amerika ato LPG dari russia. Ane gak tau kenapa, Kurang akurasi? murah? masih tahap ujicoba? Kok lama sekali?

Indonesia looks to boost defenses around Natuna Islands in South China Sea

Minister of Foreign Affairs, Retno Marsudi and Minister of Defence Ryamizard Ryacudu 2 + 2 meetings with foreign ministers and defense ministers of Japan, on Thursday (17/12/2015) in Tokyo.

JAKARTA – Indonesia plans to strengthen its capability to defend its land and waters in the South China Sea, namely the Natuna Islands around which the country has declared an exclusive economic zone that overlaps with China’s “nine-dash line” maritime claim, its defense minister said Tuesday.

“The Natuna Islands are our outer islands. It is quite natural and logical that a country has to secure its outer islands,” Ryamizard Ryacudu said in an interview, speaking to Kyodo News ahead of “two-plus-two” security talks in Tokyo on Thursday that will involve the foreign and defense ministers of Indonesia and Japan.

“We have to strengthen our military capability to anticipate any threats like illegal fishing or something like illicit intrusion and many kinds of nontraditional threats entering into our territory,” he added.

According to Ryamizard, Indonesia plans to deploy a fleet of jet fighters and three corvettes to the islands, revamp its naval and air force base and deploy more troops.

Indonesia currently has about 800 service members in Natuna. Next year, the number will rise to about 2,000.

“This is quite natural that every country will think that way because maintaining security is our job. We can at least control any intrusion to our territory, as well as monitoring and safeguarding the area from illegal fishing,” the defense minister said.

Indonesia protested China’s nine-dash line map when it was submitted to the United Nations in May 2009.

Through diplomatic channels and notes, Indonesia has been repeatedly seeking clarification from China on the nine-dash line shown on a map published in 1947 by the then Republic of China to justify its claims to most of the South China Sea, but to no avail.

And although Indonesia is not a claimant state in the disputes over islands and reefs in the South China Sea, which mainly involve China, Vietnam and the Philippines, it has been warily monitoring China’s development of infrastructure there, including rig and lighthouse construction, as well as its seismic surveys and fishing activities.

Indonesia and Japan’s “two-plus-two” meeting will mark Japan’s first such meeting with a member of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations. Japan already has two-plus-two security talks with countries including the United States, Britain and Australia.

According to the two countries’ foreign ministries, the main agenda item of the meeting will be the unsettling situation in the South China Sea, where tensions have been rising.

Japan aims to tap into Indonesia’s regional influence to help keep in check China’s muscle-flexing in the South China Sea, an area of crucial shipping lanes, abundant in marine resources and believed to be rich in oil and gas.

Speaking on the territorial disputes, which also involve Taiwan, Malaysia and Brunei, Ryamizard called on the claimants to enhance communication and find solutions through diplomatic channels.

He said bringing their cases to international courts should only be a last resort.

The Philippines is seeking arbitration rulings on whether some Chinese activities in the disputed waters are in violation of the U.N. Convention on the Law of the Sea, such as its interference with other countries’ fishing activities, its massive land reclamation projects and its fortification of some contested features.

During his Japan visit, Ryamizard may visit Hyogo-based Japanese aircraft manufacturer ShinMaywa Industries Ltd., which manufactures US-2 amphibious aircraft used in maritime rescue operations.

Earlier this year, the minister expressed Indonesia’s interest in procuring the aircraft, but he said no timeframe has been set.

Hopefully...

Rest assured, TNI AU are already utilizing this bomb and will procure this bomb from our own national defence industry.

Saudi Arabia has ordered around 8000 MK 82 JDAM from General Dynamic (USA) in this year alone (2015), maybe if we can make the bomb as good as USA, we can sell that to Saudi.

Saudi and Indonesia has already signed strategic defense cooperation, and this nation can be said as really close to us. If Saudi can be approach heart to heart, they will tend to help us like what they do when giving export credit for PT Dirgantara, Senegal CN 235 deal I believe uses easy finance scheme from Islamic Development Bank.

Huge market overseas.

Talking about other Indonesian defense industry, I hope in the future PT PAL start approaching Middle East Country, Oman, for instant, has ordered OPV from Singapore, I believe Oman will choose us if we can do good marketing to them.
 
dumb bom alias mk82 mk 84 ,ga berpandu.
Smart bom ,bom yg dipandu laser,radio,infrared macam GBU 12,GBU 27.
JDAM adl pengembangan MK82,mk84 berpandu GPS ditambah INS sebagai cadangan kalau GPS di jamming.
digambar sepertinya smart bom berpandu laser .
Petir dari sari bahari itu tebakan gw JSAM versi indo karena ga pake seeker ,dia pake autopilotnya uav alias GPS sebagai pandunya dan punya turbojet walaupun masih lambat.
 
Sorry kl off topic,
Apa bisa perusahaan swasta di indonesia memproduksi senjata seperti pistol, assault rifle, cannon, missile dan menjualnya keluar negri?
