BANDUNG - United Arab Emirates buys 100 million small caliber ammunition to PT Pindad (Persero). Currently Pindad plans to increase the capacity of ammunition production to meet export needs.
Secretary General of the Ministry of Defense (Kemhan) Rear Admiral TNI Widodo admitted, some countries have entrusted the purchase of defense equipment to Indonesia. Like the United Arab Emirates who order 100 million small caliber ammunition.
Then, he said, countries in the Middle East are planning to buy tanks. "Currently Pindad has not been able to meet these needs, because they have to buy some more machines to achieve the expected production. This is a future challenge, "Widodo said in Bandung, Tuesday (8/15/2017).
Widodo hopes Pindad is capable of producing self-sufficient medium tanks and sold in bulk in 2019. Including Pindad's plan to produce amphibious tanks and refinement of special underwater weapons.
"Pindad has long-run underwater weapon production for frogman troops, but it still needs refinement to be comfortable to wear," he said.
Meanwhile, President Director of PT Pindad (Persero) Abraham Mose said, currently it continues to strengthen production capabilities by adding machines.
The concept is done through state equity participation (PMN) and partnership strategy. This year, he said, PMN investment through the concept of Great Caliber Munisi (MKB) disbursed Rp135 billion and the concept of Little Caliber Munition (MKK) Rp130 billion.
"The partnership strategy is carried out through BOT (build operate transfer) and JO (joint operation) system to ensure that domestic and export needs are met. For example, for the supply of 290 million rounds of ammunition per year, it is only sufficient for the needs of the TNI. So it is necessary this partnership strategy, "he said.
As for some products, Pindad has stated its readiness. For example amphibious tanks and the completion of the prototype tank boat.

Widodo admitted PT Pindad is currently working on orders from the United Arab Emirates in the form of 100 million small caliber ammunition. However, it can not be fulfilled because Pindad had to buy some more production machines in order to fulfill the order.
"PT Pindad must buy more production equipment in order to fulfill UAE orders," he said
There are several orders of other armaments such as medium tanks that have been ordered by several countries, especially from Middle Eastern countries.
This medium tank assembly is a collaboration between PT Pindad and Turkey. Planned mid-September 2017 Prototype will be imported to Indonesia and is expected to be displayed on 5 October to coincide with TNI anniversary.
"This challenge from PT Pindad especially products made in Indonesia should be loved by the nation itself, so later when it is comfortable if exported out will also be easier," he said.
In addition, Widodo said this medium tank production is intended for the TNI that is adapted to the contours of Indonesia. Until now, Kemenhan is still coordinating the need of medium tank for TNI.
"Until now the need for a medium tank for the TNI is still discussed," he concluded.
