Vietnam ngikutin cara2 china coast guard, main keroyok dan ramming, sudah mulai kurang ajar, sudah seharusnya petugas kkp dan bakamla dipersenjatai lebih baik. Next time TNI AL Aja yg trolling di EEZ

Iya, kapal KKP baiknya jangan dibiarin patroli sendirian pake kapal kecil. Mana personelnya juga terbatas. Minimal bareng kapal BAKAMLA, lebih bagus lagi bareng kapal TNI-AL biar ada giginya.

What’s With Indonesia’s 'Big' Military Exercise Near the South China Sea?


Last week, Indonesian President Joko “Jokowi” Widodo observed what news outlets termed a “massive” military exercise around the resource-rich Natuna Islands. Though the drills are both far more routine and much less dramatic than they were portrayed, they nonetheless emphasize that Jakarta has not wavered in protecting its interests as they relate to the South China Sea, despite the challenges therein. Though Indonesia is not a claimant in the South China Sea disputes strictly speaking, it has nonetheless been an interested party, especially since China’s nine-dash line overlaps with Indonesia’s exclusive economic zone (EEZ) around the resource-rich Natuna Islands. As I’ve argued elsewhere, Indonesia’s traditional South China Sea position since the 1990s might be best summed up as a “delicate equilibrium” – seeking to both engage China diplomatically on the issue and enmeshing Beijing and other actors within regional institutions (a softer edge of its approach, if you will) while at the same time pursuing a range of security, legal, and economic measures designed to protect its own interests. While we have seen some recalibration within this delicate equilibrium as well as newer developments since Jokowi came to office – from more run-ins with Chinese vessels to some upgrading of facilities in the Natunas – the approach itself has not changed. The exercise last week fits into this broader pattern. Indonesia has carried out such drills dating back decades, and they are just one example of a broad range of security measures Jakarta is taking to shore up its position (See: “The Natunas: Why is Indonesia Developing a South China Sea Flashpoint?”). In this particular drill, 5,900 troops of the Indonesian military (TNI) participated, according to The Jakarta Post, making this exercise nearly three times the size of the Air Force’s Angkasa Yudha exercises held in the Natunas last October, which involved around 2,000 personnel. Jokowi was accompanied by Indonesia’s military chief, Gatot Nurmantyo, the heads of all three of the services, and several other ministers and officials, including Defense Minister Ryamizard Ryacudu. Much like Jokowi’s other visits to the Natunas, where he has inspected naval patrols and even boarded an Indonesian warship, it is meant to send a clear message that Jakarta is keen on protecting its sovereignty and territorial integrity amid several trends, including China’s assertiveness in the South China Sea. And as with other such interactions, Jokowi once again spoke about this theme generally without mentioning any country (including China) directly, emphasizing that the drills were a show of the “TNI’s preparedness.” Though there is no doubt that China is a key concern in spite of the lack of explicit mention, it is also true that Indonesia’s broader concerns about sovereignty and territorial integrity lie not just with Beijing, but its other Southeast Asian neighbors, particularly with its crackdown on illegal fishing. This was evidenced by yet another skirmish between Indonesia and Vietnam that occurred over the weekend in the Natunas. More broadly, as I have pointed out before, despite these shows of force, there are formidable challenges to Indonesia trying to secure its position in the South China Sea, one of them being its modest defense capabilities – including in the maritime realm – that limit its options and complicate the adoption of a tougher approach. In part due to years of underspending on defense, even Indonesian officials have admitted that the country is unable to perform basic functions such as fully patrolling the world’s second-longest coastline (See: “Between Aspiration and Reality: Indonesian Foreign Policy After the 2014 Elections”). Though notable efforts are underway under Jokowi to boost the country’s capabilities, including the long-delayed creation of a coast guard, Indonesia begins from a low base and faces significant challenges (See: “Confronting Indonesia’s Maritime Coordination Challenge”).Indeed, this exercise itself first made headlines not for its signaling but a fatal malfunction when the Chinese-made Giant Bow anti-aircraft cannon misfired during a rehearsal on Wednesday, killing four soldiers and wounding eight others. It was just the latest in a series of such tragedies that have occurred over the past few years, several of them involving Indonesian aircraft.Jokowi himself seemed to acknowledge this when he told military personnel present that Indonesia had “a lot of things to improve,” especially in terms of its military technology.“Don’t let us be left behind compared to other countries only because we are late adopting advanced technology,” he added.

Vietnam, Indonesia vessels clash in South China Sea

JAKARTA, Indonesia (AP) -- Indonesia says several Vietnamese fishing vessels escaped Indonesian interception following a show of force by Vietnam's coast guard in the South China Sea.

Indonesia's Maritime and Fisheries Ministry said Tuesday that Vietnam is holding an Indonesian fisheries officer, who was aboard one of the Vietnamese vessels, and Indonesia has 11 Vietnamese crew members in its custody.

According to Indonesia, the clash Sunday took place north of the Natuna island chain within Indonesia's exclusive economic zone.

The ministry said five Vietnamese-flagged fishing vessels were intercepted by a maritime patrol vessel and were under its control until a Vietnamese coast guard ship rammed the fishing boat with the Indonesian official aboard, sinking it. The ministry said no one was hurt.

It said the Indonesian vessel withdrew after several more Vietnamese coast guard vessels were seen approaching on radar while an Indonesian warship was 30 minutes away.

Tensions easily flare in the South China Sea, a major global trading route. China's claim to most of the sea overlaps with the territorial waters of several Southeast Asian nations.

Indonesia has destroyed hundreds of vessels caught fishing illegally in its waters over the past two years, many of them Vietnamese-flagged, as part of a policy of strengthening control over the archipelago nation's vast maritime territory.

Rifky Effendi Hardjianto, secretary-general of the fisheries ministry, told a news conference that ministry officials have met with Vietnam's ambassador and would resolve the incident through normal diplomatic channels. Both sides agreed to avoid a repeat of the clash, he said.

Woah, woah, woah....

Thing's been escalated, ain't they?

Time to lay some "persuassive" (*wink, wink*) approach of enforcement, perhaps?

Selama mereka masih kualified dan lolos seleksi ya bakalan dikirim terus lah.. Begitu kemampuan mereka menurun, langsung disodok sama calon yang lain.

Woah, woah, woah.... Thing's been escalated, ain't they? Time to lay some "persuassive" (*wink, wink*) approach of enforcement, perhaps?

One KKP officer currently under viet custody, while we arrested dozen or so viet fishermans. But their ambassador said that they will send our officer home immediately.

This incident won't get much publicity and fanfare, but viet should expect that we will intensify our patrol in Natuna sea.

Indonesia-Vietnam selesaikan secara diplomatik

Jakarta (ANTARA News) - Pemerintah Republik Indonesia dan Vietnam sepakat untuk menyelesaikan insiden Natuna di kawasan Zona Ekonomi Eksklusif Indonesia, Minggu (21/5), secara diplomatik, kata Sekretaris Jenderal Kementerian Kelautan dan Perikanan RI Rifki Effendi Hardijanto.

"Kita (Pemerintah RI-Vietnam) akan menyelesaikan insiden itu melalui jalur diplomatik, dan akan berusaha keras agar kejadian serupa tidak terulang kembali," kata Rifki Hardijanto dalam konferensi pers yang digelar di Gedung Mina Bahari (GMB) IV, KKP, Jakarta, Selasa.

Sekjen KKP mengungkapkan, insiden di Natuna tersebut berawal ketika kapal patroli KKP Hiu Macan menyergap lima kapal ikan asing dari Vietnam di laut Natuna ZEE Indonesia, dan saat yang bersamaan ada kapal Coast Guard Vietnam yang menginginkan kapal ikan yang diamankan dapat dilepaskan.

Insiden itu mengakibatkan satu kapal ikan Vietnam tertabrak sehingga tenggelam, dan sebanyak 44 nelayan Vietnam meloncat ke laut yang kemudian diselamatkan kapal Coast Guard negara tersebut.

Namun, kapal patroli KKP juga telah berhasil mengamankan 11 nelayan Vietnam lainnya yang kemudian dibawa ke stasiun pangkalan KKP yang berada di Natuna dan Pontianak.

"Tadi pagi, saya dan Ibu Menteri (Susi Pudjiastuti) berjumpa dengan Dubes Vietnam dan hasilnya bersepakat beberapa hal, di antaranya bersyukur dalam insiden 21 Mei itu tidak ada korban jiwa atau terluka," ujar Sekjen KKP.

Dia juga mengemukakan, ada satu pegawai KKP bernama Gunawan yang juga berada di kapal yang tertabrak dan juga terpaksa loncat ke laut, yang kemudian diselamatkan oleh kapal Coast Guard Vietnam.

Sekjen KKP meyakinkan bahwa Gunawan saat ini sedang berada dalam kondisi yang baik di Vietnam, serta rencananya akan dikembalikan secepatnya.

Rifky juga menegaskan bahwa tidak ada yang namanya "pertukaran sandera" karena Gunawan bukanlah sandera di Vietnam.

"Tidak ada pertukaran. Kami juga akan mengembalikan nelayan mereka," katanya dan menambahkan bahwa saat ini di stasiun pangkalan KKP juga terdapat ratusan Vietnam yang dijaga dengan baik dan diberi makan setiap hari oleh KKP.

Pemerintah RI, ujar dia, akan melakukan "joint investigation" bersama-sama dengan Vietnam untuk mencari tahu penyebab secara pasti tertabrak dan tenggelamnya kapal ikan Vietnam, serta akan diutamakan penyelesaian secara diplomatik.

Sekjen KKP juga menyatakan bahwa selama dilakukannya investigasi tersebut, maka diharapkan nelayan Vietnam tidak lagi beroperasi menangkap ikan di laut Natuna yang merupakan bagian dari ZEE Indonesia tersebut.

Sedangkan mengenai protes melalui nota diplomatik dan mekanisme semacam itu, Sekjen KKP menuturkan bahwa pihaknya juga akan berkoordinasi dengan Kementerian Luar Negeri guna membahas beragam langkah terkait hal tersebut.

After gaining some know how from its successful cooperation with FNSS to develop Medium Tank, does PINDAD have any plan to improve the overall design of Badak 6x6 SFV?

Last we heard, Pindad cooperating with Timoney to revamp Badak' modular driveline, transfer case and steering system.

"The design brings together our modular approach to meeting customer requirements together with our driveline expertise and we have also designed a new steering system and transfer box to provide PT Pindad with the ultimate solution to meet their mobility requirements,"
