Wait, that missile still under development. How did we get that?

i never said we already buy that missile

Ballistic missile..?? I doubt that.....as long as i remember our government are always reluctant to equip the army with that kind of missile for "regional stability"

No reason huh? In 1990 Soeharto already sent delegation to Russia to bought Scud missiles, although the mission is aborted

Indonesia hints at buying Scud missiles

Aug. 24, 1992

JAKARTA -- Indonesia is considering buying Russian-made Scud missiles as part of an overall plans to beef up military capabilities, the Kompas newspaper reported Monday.

Air force Chief Air Marshal Siboen told Kompas that experts are studying possible purchases of Scuds and other weaponry for air defense.



Siboen declined to name specific weapons under consideration, but said, 'the Scud is ... an alternative.'

Scud missiles caught world attention during the Gulf War, when Iraq -- trying to defend its seizure of Kuwait -- used the Russian-made weapons to attack civilian and military targets in Israel and Saudi Arabia.

Siboen last month said Indonesia was considering buying a number of advanced British Aerospace Hawk 100 and 200 fighter jets to back up its existing fleet of U.S.-built F-16s.

Indonesia currently owns one squadron of F-16s, but Siboen said the country needs at least one more squadron of a similar aircraft.

The Indonesian military lost one F-16 in May, when its pilot bailed out during a test flight in East Java.

Siboen indirectly blamed U.S. manufacturer General Dynamics for the mishap, saying the accident had nothing to do the pilot, and might have been caused by a computer malfunction aboard the fighter.

The air-force chief said Indonesia's plan to boost its complement of fighter jets has no connection to similar programs in Singapore, Malaysia and Thailand, although he admitted the country wants to keep up with advances in military technology.

'The purchase of the equipment is based on Indonesian needs,' Sibeon said.

Ballistic missiles is not that a big deal compared to naval launched or air launched long range high precision cruise missiles like Taurus KEPD, Tomahawk, JSOM, Calibr or SCALP.

Inzpire's GECO Air enters service with Indonesian Air Force

Posted 5 December 2017

Inzpire is pleased to announce that its GECO Air tablet-based mission system has entered service with the Indonesian Air Force – the Tentara Nasional Indonesia-Angkatan Udara.

Following on from the contract signing in summer 2017, Inzpire’s Missions Systems team undertook a comprehensive integration programme with the Indonesian Air Force, which culminated in a combined installation, training and flight test visit in early November.

The GECO System will be used by Su-27, Su-30, F-16, Hawk, T-50 and Super Tucano platforms which will reap the situational awareness and safety benefits of GECO’s wide range of features.

Jonny Smith, Inzpire’s Head of Mission Systems said: “We are delighted to welcome the Indonesian Air Force as our second export customer following our earlier success with the Royal Jordanian Air Force. The GECO System was incredibly well received during our training and installation visit and performed exceptionally well during flight test. We look forward to a growing relationship with the Indonesian Air Force and our in-country partner PT Kadomas. The project has been a great team effort and has delivered an outstanding operational capability within 4 months of contract signature.”

GECO Air is designed to complement existing on-board avionics systems by bringing modern and powerful commercial off-the-shelf hardware technology to the cockpit and providing a cost-effective, easy-to-upgrade solution. It can be used as a stand-alone device or integrated directly into an aircraft.

GECO’s suite of situational awareness and safety assistance apps includes advanced navigation features overlaid on a wide range of mapping and satellite imagery; a worldwide aeronautical database and tactical applications such as advanced threat displays – all designed to buy aircrew time and to improve and enhance the decision-making.

Hope this is not a bad news ....There is "unconfirmed" info from Singapore that Indonesia has decided to cancel to acquire 11 units of SU-35 due to "new Trump policy" on Russia .. If this info is "accurate" ... your SU-35 acquisition plan will be "No Ending" and"Anti Climax" story ..

OMYGOD

Singapore "informant" again??

According to that article: "It represents the will of the American people to see Russia take steps to improve relations with the United States. We hope there will be cooperation between our two countries on major global issues so that these sanctions will no longer be necessary."

In what way does it imply that Russia is not allowed to export anything, hmm?

And even if the bill does include that...I don't know how to break this one to you...well;

RUSSIA = RUSSIA​

China’s Defense Industry Is Fastest Growing in Asia, According to New Market Potential Index from Jane’s by IHS Markit

21 November 2017
LONDON (21 November 2017) – China, Japan and Australia top the tables for defense industrial capabilities in Asia Pacific, according to a report on the new Market Potential Index released today by Jane’s by IHS Markit (Nasdaq: INFO), a world leader in critical information, analytics and solutions.

“Multiple factors are driving rapid industrial development across Asia,” said Paul Burton, research director at Jane’s. “In addition to economic growth and a desire for military self-sufficiency, a complex security environment characterized by North Korea’s ongoing nuclear program, and overlapping territorial claims in the East and South China Seas are leading to rapid growth in indigenous defense production throughout Asia.

“China's defense industry has made substantial progress over the past decade towards achieving the advanced capabilities targeted by Beijing,” Burton said. “Further industrial reforms are required for China to address remaining capability gaps and attain its goal of at least parity with the world's most advanced industrialized states. Beijing continues to transform its defense industrial base from one that imitates into one that innovates.”

Asia Pacific: Defense industrial capabilities league table

Jane’s newly launched Market Potential Index ranks the industrial proficiencies of almost 100 defense markets worldwide. Using a unique methodology, it assesses the technological sophistication and scale of defense industrial competencies in the land, sea, air and electronics domains to produce a global ranking.

Land industries score

China 4.0 4.0 3.0 4.0

Indonesia 1.5 2.0 1.5 1.5

“What the countries at the top of this list have in common is strong government-backed research and development investment, a long-term approach to the growth of their national defense industries, and an emphasis on the involvement of domestic companies in national defense equipment programs,” said Guy Anderson, associate director at Jane’s.

“Greater government-backed research and development investment in defense sectors has been a feature of the Asia Pacific as a whole, with regional investment having climbed 32 percent to $16.7 billion over the last five years,” Anderson said. “Over the next decade, we expect defense industrial self-reliance to increase in this part of the world, and for the defense industries of the Asia Pacific region to make a larger dent in world export markets.”
