SINGAPORE, February 6. /TASS/. Russia and Indonesia will shortly agree technical details of a contract for the delivery of Sukhoi Su-35 fighter jets to Jakarta, Deputy Director of Russia’s Federal Service for Military and Technical Cooperation Mikhail Petukhov told TASS on Tuesday.

"Indonesia continues to be one of Russia’s basic partners in the Asia-Pacific Region. The negotiations on the delivery of Su-35s to the Republic of Indonesia are continuing. Importantly, the sides are willing to successfully complete the negotiations. I hope that the experts from both sides will shortly agree separate technical aspects. At the same time, I would like to note that all the requirements of the Indonesian legislation have been taken into account and will be adhered to by the Russian side," he said.

The defense official is heading the Russian delegation at the Singapore Airshow 2018 that will be held on February 6-11.

A source in Russia’s system of military and technical cooperation told TASS in late January that the Russian side had gone to Indonesia to discuss the terms of a contract for the delivery of Su-35 planes but no agreement was signed following the results of the talks.

It was reported earlier that Jakarta wanted to buy 10 Su-35 multirole fighters to replace outdated US F-5 Tiger aircraft that had been in operation in the Indonesian army since 1980. Later, Russia’s hi-tech corporation Rostec reported that Indonesia had received a commercial offer for 11 Su-35 planes.

Singapore Airshow 2018: Indonesia studies options for four AEW&C aircraft

Ridzwan Rahmat, Singapore - Jane's Defence Weekly
07 February 2018

Key Points

• Indonesia has begun studying available options for the air force’s AEW&C requirements
• The formal acquisition programme is expected to materialise in the 2020–2024 timeframe

The Indonesia Air Force (Tentara Nasional Indonesia – Angkatan Udara: TNI-AU) is drawing up a schedule to retire its fleet of ageing Boeing 737-2X9 airframes, and has begun preliminary studies to acquire replacement aircraft for its airborne early warning and control (AEW&C) requirements.

However, unlike TNI-AU’s aerial fleet tanker requirement, no aircraft type has been specified in the preliminary studies, and senior members of the service are currently speaking to potential suppliers at the Singapore Airshow to learn more about options available, Jane’s has learnt from TNI-AU sources present.

The service currently operates a fleet of three Boeing 737-2X9 surveillance aircraft that were commissioned in 1982. The airframes are currently deployed with the TNI-AU’s Skuadron Udara 5 (Air Squadron 5) at the Sultan Hasanuddin air base in Makassar in South Sulawesi, and bear the registration numbers AI-7301, AI-7302, and AI-7303.

The platform has a service ceiling of 50,000 ft and a range of 2,530 n miles. In the early 1990s, the aircraft were each upgraded with identification friend-or-foe (IFF) sensors, a Motorola AN/APS-135 side-looking airborne modular multimission radar (SLAMMR) and a Thomson-CSF Ocean Master radar with low-probability-of-intercept features.

Besides surveillance and intelligence gathering in-country, the airframes have also been deployed for exercises overseas. In 2012, a single 737-2X9 airframe was temporarily stationed at Darwin in northern Australia for Exercise ‘Albatross Ausindo 2012’. It operated alongside an Australian AP-3C for the duration of its deployment.

Speaking to Jane’s at the 2018 iteration of the Singapore Airshow, PTDI’s Vice President of Sales, Ade Yuyu Wahyuna, said negotiations in this stage begun in late-January 2018, and a formal contract can be expected to materialise before the end of the year.

Singapore Airshow 2018: Nepal begins negotiations for second CN-235 with PT Dirgantara

Ridzwan Rahmat, Singapore - Jane's Defence Weekly
07 February 2018

The Nepalese government has begun negotiations with Indonesian state-owned aircraft manufacturer PT Dirgantara (PTDI) for another CN-235-220M multipurpose platform, an official from the company confirmed with Jane’s at the 2018 iteration of the Singapore Airshow.

The aircraft is being acquired for the Nepalese Army (NA) Air Wing, and like the first airframe ordered in 2017, will probably be deployed primarily for troop and cargo transport, humanitarian supply missions, and medical evacuations, said Ade Yuyu Wahyuna, PTDI’s vice-president of sales.

PTDI secured a contract to supply the first CN-235-220M with Nepal in June 2017. The aircraft type, which is being produced under a long-standing licensing arrangement with Airbus, is currently under construction at the company’s facilities in Bandung.

Indonesia Shopping for Western Fighters

Marhalim Abas Bradley Perrett
Feb 05, 2018

Lockheed Martin is pitching its F-16V to Indonesia, emphasizing “numerous enhancements designed to keep the F-16 at the forefront of international security.”

Indonesia is in talks with Western manufacturers about a possible fighter order and is considering the Eurofighter Typhoon and Lockheed Martin F-16V, according to two industry sources in the country.

The Saab Gripen and Dassault Rafale are also likely to be candidates, since the manufacturers of both of those fighters have offices in Jakarta. The number of fighters under consideration is not known, but some multiple of 16, the usual size of an Indonesian fighter squadron, is likely.

Talks began last year, says one industry source, who named the Typhoon as one candidate among several.

Budgetary pressures may force Indonesian withdrawal from the Korea Aerospace Industries KF-X fighter program, depriving KAI of the endorsement of a second operator. If Indonesia does not quit the KF-X entirely, it may take a smaller role.

The Indonesian Air Force likes the F-16, because it already operates that type, says another industry source. Both sources are closely connected to the military.

Meanwhile, Indonesia has taken delivery of the last two of 24 refurbished F-16C/Ds ordered in 2012. The Indonesian Air Force now has 23 of the aircraft, which it calls F-16IDs.

Going forward, Lockheed Martin has proposed the F-16V version of its fighter with the Pratt & Whitney F100-PW-229 engine, says the second source. Since the Indonesian Air Force’s current 32 F-16s have similar engines in the F100-PW-200 series, Lockheed Martin’s propulsion proposal would reduce training and logistics costs.

Lockheed Martin says that current aircraft could be upgraded to the V standard with the installation of new radars and avionics.

Missiles, bombs and targeting pods purchased for the current F-16 fleet would also be compatible on the newer variant, again reducing procurement costs, the company has told Indonesian officials. Some of the F-16A/Bs may not be operational.

The Indonesian air force is supposed to have 180 fighter jets in 2024 under a plan introduced in 2007 called Minimum Essential Force, but little progress has been made toward that target. It has 48 now and plans to order 11 more Sukhoi Su-35s.

The Su-35 has the advantage that the Indonesian armed forces, stung by a U.S. arms embargo two decades ago, insist on sourcing some fighters from non-Western suppliers. Western manufacturers kept marketing their fighters in Indonesia; they were looking to the next order.

They have had a presence in Indonesia since 2014.

Indonesian Navy Receives New Aircraft
ShowNews
Marhalim Abas
Feb 06, 2018

Indonesia signed a contract for 11 Airbus AS565 Mbe Panther anti-submarine helicopters in 2014.


The Indonesian Navy has received two AirbusAS565 Mbe Panther anti-submarine helicopters and a single Beechcraft Super King Air 350i twin turboprop transporter.

The navy’s chief of staff, Adm. Ade Supandi, accepted delivery of the three aircraft at a ceremony at the Juanda naval air base in Surabaya, on Oct 13. Surabaya is located 786 km (488 mi.) east of the capital city of Jakarta.

Supandi said the navy will continue to modernize its air wing as planned. The Panther helicopters will enable the air wing to conduct anti-surface and submarine warfare.

Indonesia signed the contract for 11 Panthers in 2014. Under an agreement, Airbus will supply the helicopters to its industrial partner, Indonesian Aerospace, which will reassemble and outfit them at its facility in Bandung, acting as the design authority.

The Panthers are fitted with the L-3 Ocean Systems Helicopter Long-Range Active Sonar DS-100 dipping sonar and torpedo-launching system. The Panther is configured to carry the Raytheon Mk. 46 or Whitehead A.244/S lightweight torpedoes, though the Indonesian Navy has not confirmed the weapon it has selected.

The Beechcraft King Air turboprop will be operated as a VVIP transporter under the 600 Squadron, which operates from the naval base
