2018, Pemerintah akan Belanja Meriam Howitser, OPV, dan Rudal jarak menengah

Menjelang Idul Fitri ini, para pembaca tentu sudah menyiapkan sejumlah rencana berikut anggarannya. Demikian juga pemerintah Republik Indonesia, kini tengah menyiapkan rencana kerja di tahun 2018 mendatang. Karena media ARCinc ini berfokus pada militer dan aviasi, tentu disini kita akan telaah apa saja rencana pemerintah di tahun 2018 dalam bidang pertahanan.


Rancangan awal Rencana Kerja Pemerintah (RKP) tahun 2018 (image : Bappenas)

Dari data Rancangan Awal RKP 2018 yang ARCinc peroleh, bisa sedikit kita intip rencana besar pemerintah di tahun depan. Yang mencolok bagi redaksi adalah pengadaan 3 batalyon meriam kaliber 105mm, dimana 2 batalyon diantaranya adalah untuk pengganti meriam tarik 76mm yang sudah uzur, serta 1 batalyon lainnya untuk marinir TNI-AL. Data ini kemudian kami konfirmasi ke salah satu agen Nexter (produsen meriam asal Prancis), dan ia pun membenarkan akan adanya pengadaan 3 batalyon meriam LG-1 Mk3.



Point menarik lainnya adalah pengadaan kapal OPV 80-90 meter. Menjadi menarik karena pengadaan 2 kapal ini memakan biaya mencapai Rp 1 Trilyun. Boleh lah kita berharap jika benar dibeli, maka OPV ini nanti sudah full combat ready.



Sementara itu untuk matra udara, akan kembali dilakukan pengadaan lanjutan rudal darat ke udara jarak menengah tahap 2. Ini tentu menjadi pertanyaan, apakah pengadaan tahap pertama sudah teken kontrak? Selain itu ada pula pengadaan rudal AIM-9X dan AIM-120, dimana pada pengadaan Sidewinder sudah terkonfirmasi oleh pemerintah Amerika Serikat.




Pengadaan alutsista pada jaman Presiden Jokowi memang tampak tidak sebesar masa Kepresidenan sebelumnya. Namun perlu dipahami, pembelian alutsista pada masa Presiden SBY membawa dampak pada masa pemerintah kini. Alutsista yang mahal dan berteknologi canggih tentu memerlukan anggaran yang tidak sedikit untuk pemeliharaan serta sarana dan prasarana pendukungnya. Karena itu porsi terbesar anggaran justru ada pada perawatan alutsista. Tercatat untuk Harwat alutsista matra darat sebesar Rp 1, 8 trilyun rupiah. Disusul anggaran harwat untuk matra laut sebesar Rp 3,3 Trilyun, dan yang terbesar adalah untuk alutsista matra udara sebesar Rp 4,5 Trilyun.
 

Indonesia, Malaysia, Philippines reaffirm commitment in combating terrorism
Jumat, 23 Juni 2017 04:20 WIB - 1.197 Views

Jakarta (ANTARA News) - Governments of Indonesia, Malaysia and the Philippines during a trilateral meeting in Manila, Thursday, reaffirmed their commitment in enhancing cooperation in addressing the common threats of terrorism and violent extremism confronting the region.

The Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Indonesia, Retno Marsudi, the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Malaysia, H.E. Dato Sri Anifah Hj. Aman, and the Secretary of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of the Philippines, H.E. Alan Peter S. Cayetano met in Manila on Thursday to discuss the prevention of security problems in southern Philippines from impacting the other two countries.

Quoted from the Indonesian Foreign Affairs Ministrys website on Thursday, the trilateral meeting yielded a joint statement which reaffirms the three governments commitment to effectively address existing as well as emerging transnational challenges and threats that have the potential to undermine the stability and well-being of countries in the region.

"The message that Indonesia will bring (to the meeting) is that although law enforcement efforts is important to tackle terror issues, other soft power aspects, such as empowerment and education, must not be abandoned as well," Spokesperson of Indonesian Ministry of Foreign Affairs Arrmanatha Nasir has said earlier this week.

During the trilateral meeting, the Ministers raised concern over the recent incidents of terrorism and violent extremism in their countries, and reaffirmed their desire to work together to jointly develop and implement counter-terrorism measures and strategies.

The Ministers reiterated their shared view that success in effectively addressing transnational threats can only be achieved through the proper development of strategies, and cooperation in security and intelligence on a regional scale.

The trilateral meeting, which also involved each countrys military commander, police chief, counter-terrorism unit, and intelligence agency, was part of the 2016 Joint Declaration in Yogyakarta between the three countries under the initiative of Indonesian President Joko Widodo.

The first trilateral meeting has resulted in the implementation of coordinated maritime patrol and operational of Maritime Command Center (MCC) at the Tarakan Naval Main Base, North Kalimantan.

According to the Director of Indonesian Citizens Protection of the Foreign Affairs Ministry, Lalu Muhammad Iqbal, the standard operating procedure (SOP) from last years meeting, in an attempt to maintain security in Sulu and its surrounding waters to prevent capture of fishermen or ship crew, can be extended to stem the spillover effect of the terrorists from Marawi to surrounding countries, including Indonesia and Malaysia.

"This second trilateral meeting has a strong foundation, and so we are optimistic that (the results of) this meeting will be more operational or workable in the short term," Iqbal noted.(*)

One of the knives was taken from one of them who had been shot to death and another one from the other who was wounded.

He said the police also found gasoline and a match box which had been used to burn the post.

"This incident proves that the threat of terrorism is real," he said.

He said the police have so far been made their main target as has also been proven by bomb attacks in Kampung Melayu, Jakarta, recently.

He said the police are still investigating the incident in Medan with assistance from the anti-terror special unit and a team from the national police headquarters.

At around 3am on Sunday two unknoen persons attacked personnel of the community service center of the North Sumatra regional police headquarters claiming the life of Adjunct First Inspector Martua Sigalingging who was then on duty at the exit gate.

Military officers from all 10 ASEAN countries boarded JS Izumo for 5 days in the SCS but outside the 9 dash line area.

---start---
Japan's largest warship steamed into the South China Sea this week in defiance of Chinese assertiveness, with Asian military guests on board to witness helicopters looping over the tropical waters and gunners blasting target buoys.

China claims most of the energy-rich sea through which about$5 trillion in ship-borne trade passes every year, much of it to and from Japanese ports. Neighbors Brunei, Malaysia, the Philippines, Taiwan and Vietnam also have claims.

Japan worries that China is cementing its control in the South China Sea with manmade island bases, arms sales and development aid.

"We are not just here to show our presence, but from the outside that is what it looks like," Rear Admiral Yoshihiro Goga, the commander of the mission, said aboard the Izumo-class helicopter carrier.

Military officers from the ten-member Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) boarded the 248-meter carrier in Singapore on Monday. It returned on Friday after demonstrating naval skills and kit Tokyo hopes will help it bolster alliances in the region.

The Izumo turned back to Singapore before crossing a boundary known as the nine-dash-line into what China claims are its waters.

The high-profile cruise was part of a hitherto unseen coordinated push by Japan's Self Defense Forces and defense bureaucrats to bolster ties with countries ringing the contested waters. It also marked a concerted push into military diplomacy by Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe.

Japan last week held a military technology seminar near Tokyo for representatives from Thailand, Vietnam, the Philippines, Indonesia and Singapore and this week invited ASEAN officers to a disaster relief drill in Tokyo.

Abe's government believes Japan may be better placed to prise Southeast Asian nations away from Chinese influence than its U.S. allies with a gentler approach that emphasizes a common Asian heritage, two sources with knowledge of the diplomatic strategy told Reuters earlier.

While the U.S. has confronted China directly by sending warships close to China's island bases in the South China Sea, Japan so far has shied away from similar provocations.

As the Izumo neared the nine-dash line, the crew were on lookout for Chinese aircraft or ships sent to shadow the flag ship. Apart from brief radar contact with an unidentified aircraft announced by the ship's public address system the carrier, however, sailed on unmolested.
