Beside that, in South East Asian level, having 8 squadrons of Su-35 can be translated as having territorial ambition.

This is what ASEAN is all about, we are trying to create a region without having one hegemony power among us.
By keeping our military building pace in quantity not exceeding the defensive needs, we can avoid the disaster of getting into arms race which will cripple our economy and creates unnecessary instability or security threats.

This region needs a leader bro, and we are the biggest here in term of GDP, population, and area. The other countries must accept it.

Indonesia to upgrade naval base near disputed South China Sea waters

The Indonesian Navy (Tentara Nasional Indonesia - Angkatan Laut, or TNI-AL) will promote its provincial naval base at Pontianak, West Kalimantan, to the status of a district naval base, Indonesian Armed Forces (TNI) commander General Moeldoko said during a visit to the base on 8 May.

The move is part of the TNI's larger plan to heighten its presence in the area in light of anticipated increasing instability in the South China Sea. Base facilities will be upgraded to accommodate a larger fleet of naval assets and personnel.

"If the security situation in the South China Sea deteriorates any time in the future, the surrounding areas will not be stable.

There are many Indonesian that are good at this including some famous ones, I think TNI should ask them to help, but TNI should offer proper benefit as well to them. Some are already doing business abroad and used by western states as well. Some good hacker abroad and at home also must be contacted. I believe we can defend our land from Tomahawk missile attack just by jamming the satellite.I believe many Indonesian are ready to help, just like us here, defending our nation image without any payment at all from the state....

LIPI, Iran Electronics to develop radar systems
Tue, May 13 2014

The Indonesian Institute of Sciences (LIPI) and Iran Electronics Industries (IEI) will join forces to develop and produce active- and passive-radar systems for civilian and military interests.

The joint venture is the first of its kind in the telecommunications field, as out of the two, Iran is considered to have the edge in technological advances and transfer of technology.

LIPI telecommunications division head Mashury Wahab told The Jakarta Post recently in Batam, Riau Islands, that LIPI would work with IEI to develop and manufacture radar systems by collaborating with Indonesian company PT Dirgantara Aviation Enterprise.

They will develop both active- and passive-radar systems. The passive-radar system detects signals from a different party, while an active radar system has the capability to resist enemies.

“Iran and Indonesia will work together in developing and producing the [two] radar systems. They will be used in the interest of the Indonesian Military’s [TNI] main weaponry system as well as civil aviation at commercial airports,” Mashury said.

“Iran possesses the technological edge in this field, such as radius capacity of up to 500 kilometers. Iran also has good technology and components as they are used by more than 52 countries,” he said on the sidelines of the 3rd International Conference on Radar, Antenna, Microwave, Electronics and Telecommunications (ICRAMET) in Batam.

According to Mashury, the collaboration is expected to be realized this year, so PT Dirgantara Aviation Enterprise could immediately produce the radar systems.

The products will be branded as “made in Indonesia”, while for military use, LIPI will convey the matter to the Defense Industry Policy Committee (KKIP) to be included in TNI’s main weaponry systems.

Meanwhile, IEI representative Ali Nasheer Ahmadi addressed the audience at the ICRAMET conference, saying that technology could provide security for Indonesia and Iran.

“Indonesia and Iran, as Muslim countries, can work together to develop a variety of telecommunications technologies in the future,” he said.

Based on a statement from LIPI, IEI is an Iranian state enterprise involved in technological development and employs up to 5,000 people.

N219: new aircraft for domestic air.

N219: новый самолет для местных авиаперевозок
вт, 13/05/2014 - 11:32 | AVIATION WEEK

Hаселение Индонезии проживает на 17 тыс. островах, создание и развитие инфраструктуры, которая позволит им поддерживать связь между собой, — вызов для государства. Бизнес низкотарифных авиакомпаний расцвел в одно мгновение, однако эти перевозчики соединили основные города, но не небольшие поселения. Поэтому Индонезия обращается к своей недавно созданной индустрии авиастроения, чтобы сделать следующий шаг вперед. С 2010 г. государственная компания Dirgantara Indonesia, также известная как Indonesian Aerospace (IAe), занимается разработкой небольшого регионального самолета, который она сможет предложить местным авиалиниям и аэротакси. Эта работа строится на опыте, полученном в 90-е гг. при разработке амбициозного проекта регионального самолета N250.

N219 — самолет для местных линий, его вместимость 19 пасс., а конфигурация похожа на Viking Twin Otter. Исследования рынка для нового ВС начались в 2006 г., однако сейчас производитель подошел к этапу детального проектирования. Разработка оценивается в 80 млн долл., она будет оплачена из бюджета Индонезии.

«Мы хотели бы сделать самолет с лучшими техническими характеристиками, а также более комфортный по сравнению с Twin Otter, — заявил глава программы N219 Буди Сампурно на авиационном шоу в Сингапуре. — В первую очередь это будет самолет для коммерческих перевозок, но мы также видим возможности для выполнения других функций».

IAe планирует, что первый прототип полетит уже в следующем году, а сертификат индонезийских авиационных властей он получит в 2016 г. Сертификация по стандартам Европы и Северной Америки ожидается позднее.
N219 выходит на высококонкурентный рынок. Viking возобновил производство Twin Otter и уже продает его как военным, так и коммерческим эксплуатантам. RUAG поставляет модернизированный Dornier 228. PZL-Mielec продолжает производить M28 Skytruck. Китай предлагает улучшенную версию Y12. А чешская компания Aircraft Industries по-прежнему продвигает на рынке L-410.

Однако в IAe подчеркивают, что N219 будет разработан с чистого листа, в то время как многие его конкуренты спроектированы в 60–70 гг. прошлого века. IAe рассчитывает увеличить высоту и ширину пассажирского салона по сравнению с Twin Otter, что позволит поставить три сиденья в ряд и сделать шаг в 32 дюйма (81,2 см). Коммерческая загрузка самолета составит 5000 фунтов (2267,9 кг), в то время как у Twin Otter она равна 4280 фунтам. Самолет будет оснащен двигателями PT6A-42 Pratt & Whitney Canada, а также авионикой Garmin 950.

Компания построила новый ангар и производственные площади для N219 на заводе в Бандунге: предполагается, что ежегодно будет собираться 12 машин, но в дальнейшем этот показатель будет увеличен до 24 ВС в год.
Программа уже вызвала значительный интерес в Индонезии. Низкотарифная авиакомпания Lionair подписала контракт на 50 ВС такого типа с опционом еще на 50 самолетов, с их помощью она планирует организовать фидерную сеть к своим магистральным рейсам. Авиакомпания Nusantra Buana Air, которая базируется на западе страны, в г. Банда-Ачех, подписала меморандум о взаимопонимании на 20 самолетов, с опционом еще на 10.
Программа N219 будет опираться на опыт разработки 50-местного самолета N250, этот проект развивался в 90-е годы. Производитель собрал два прототипа, они налетали более 800 ч в испытательных полетах, однако программа была свернута из-за азиатского экономического кризиса 1997 г.

IAe поддерживает тесные взаимоотношения с военным подразделением Airbus, участвуя в программе легкого транспортного самолета С212, сейчас его производят в Бандунге как NC212i. Компания также работает над модернизированной версией транспортного самолета С235, который разрабатывался вместе с испанской компанией CASA в 80-е. Последняя версия — CN235-220 — оснащена винглетами, которые, по словам инженеров IAe, улучшили показатели на взлете.

Взаимоотношения производителей Европы и Индонезии были расширены во время авиационного шоу в Сингапуре. Был подписан меморандум о взаимопонимании по запуску в стране технического обслуживания вертолетов, купленных правительством Индонезии (таких, как AS365 Dauphin, EC725 и AS350/AS555), — компанией Airbus Helicopters (бывший Eurocopter).

[Luftwaffe]

and Can it fire some Missiles

Question how well the Armour is can it withstand the impact.

 

[nufix]

Question how well the Armour is can it withstand the impact.

what impact? shore based def-gun ammos? Anti-Ship missiles? or just RPG warheads from the enemy troops inside beach pillboxes? This kind of ship is LST, it is not specifically designed to withstand head-to-head battle damages, it is designed to land tanks after the navy is done with their bombardments and the marines is done with their beach head landing operations.

The eligible question should be "how many tanks can this ship carry"? or "how many tanks can be unloaded at a time from this ship?"

 

[Indos]

Are these Build in Indonesia ?

There is already an agreement with China on building 100 % C-705 in Indonesia, but there is some time frame dispute that should be solved first. China wants to give full TOT in 2017, but for Indonesia's part, as we also have done some research and testing in our indigenous missile before, we want it now, not in 2017. I don't know about the progress though, but I believe as we have used C-705 on our new ship now, it means that there should have already been confirmation about TOT transfer from China part in my opinion.
