Indonesia, Singapore enhance bilateral naval drills amid increased terrorism threats
Ridzwan Rahmat, Singapore - Jane's Navy International
22 April 2018
Key Points
A long-standing annual bilateral exercise between the Republic of Singapore Navy (RSN) and the Indonesian Navy (Tentara Nasional Indonesia – Angkatan Laut, or TNI-AL) is, for the first time, featuring counter-terrorism serials amid heightened fears of seaborne terrorist attacks in the region.
The drills, known as Exercise ‘Eagle Indopura’, are being held from 19 to 27 April in Singapore and the port city of Surabaya in Indonesia. The RSN has deployed its first-of-class Formidable frigate (68), and its second Victory-class corvette, RSS Valour (89), for the drills. The service is also making a debut of its Littoral Mission Vessel (LMV), RSS Independence (15), in the exercise. Independence is the first of eight new LMVs acquired by the Singapore government in 2013. It was commissioned in May 2017.
Meanwhile, the TNI-AL is taking part with two of its Diponegoro (Sigma)-class frigates, KRI Diponegoro (365) and KRI Sultan Iskandar Muda (367), a Kondor II (Type 89)-class coastal minesweeper KRI Pulau Rusa (726), a CN-235 maritime patrol aircraft, and the sea security group from the service’s Western Fleet (Komandan Gugus Keamanan Laut Wilayah Barat, or GUSKAMLABAR). KRI Diponegoro is embarked with a BO 105 light helicopter.
‘Eagle Indopura’ is the Singapore Armed Forces’ (SAF’s) longest-running series of bilateral exercise with a foreign military, and it has been held since 1974. Previous iterations of the exercise feature largely conventional warfare scenarios including anti-air and anti-surface operations, in addition to maritime security scenarios.

Some U.S. allies caught in crossfire of sanctions on Russian arms
NEW DELHI (Reuters) - U.S. sanctions on Russian military exports have put the brakes on a $6 billion deal with India and may derail the arms purchases of other U.S. allies around Asia, experts say.
Under a law that U.S. President Donald Trump signed in August, any country trading with Russia’s defense and intelligence sectors will face sanctions.
The law is designed to punish Russian President Vladimir Putin for the 2014 annexation of Crimea from Ukraine, involvement in the Syrian civil war and meddling in the 2016 U.S. presidential election.
But American allies who buy weapons and equipment from Russia, the world’s second-largest arms exporter, could suffer as well.
The highest-profile example is India, which wants to buy five S-400 long-range surface-to-air missile systems that the country’s military sees as a game changer. The systems are touted as being able to counter the ballistic missiles and stealth aircraft that China is developing, while overwhelming the capabilities of Pakistan, India’s other main adversary.
The deal, which Putin and Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi struck as part of an inter-government agreement in 2016, has run headlong into the U.S. sanctions law, two officials in Delhi said.
Indonesia and Vietnam also buy weapons from Russia while being regional partners of the United States. Jakarta closed a $1.14 billion pact for Sukhoi fighters recently, while Vietnam is seeking more jet fighter-bombers from Russia.
And with both Almaz-Antey Air and Space Defense Corporation, which makes the S-400, and Rosoboronexport, which negotiates Russian export deals, listed as under sanction, those deals have become trickier.
“The optics of a major arms purchase from Russia looks quite ‘iffy’ from the point of view of Western capitals, especially at a time when Russia-West relations are at an all-time low and India seeks strategic convergence with the West, including with the U.S.” said Abhijnan Rej, a defense strategy expert at Observer Research Foundation, a New Delhi think tank.
The U.S.-led airstrikes this month against facilities of the Syrian government, an ally of Russia, has further aggravated tensions between the superpowers.
A Russian source close to the Indian S-400 deal said “a lot will depend on the confidence and sanity of our Indian partners.”
WIDER IMPACT
The effects of the U.S. sanctions law could be more sweeping than intended, said Cara Abercrombie, a visiting scholar at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace.
Vietnam, whose air force flies Russian-made Su-30 fighters and uses the S-300 air defense system, wants to continue modernizing its inventory.
Vietnamese military scholar Carl Thayer said he believed Moscow was still pushing Hanoi to invest in state-of-the-art S-400 missile defenses as part of its long-term military plans.
“I think it is clear that Russia is still pressing Vietnam for big deals,” Thayer said, noting that the two countries already have had reciprocal visits by defense ministers this year.
But with the United States working hard to promote sales of American military hardware, and sanctions against Russia’s exporting agencies, Vietnam’s plans could prove overly costly.
Indonesia, meanwhile, said the delivery of the first couple of Sukhoi Su-35 jets out of a total of 11 is on track for this year. Officials said that so far they did not anticipate any changes to the deal with the Russians.
Indonesian defense officials declined to describe what, if anything, they might do to tackle the fallout of the sanctions imposed on Russian arms sales.
A THORNY PROBLEM
Indian Foreign Secretary Vijay Gokhale and Defence Secretary Sanjay Mitra held discussions with U.S. officials in Washington last month to try to find a solution, a second Indian official said.
The issue is crucial to the Indian military, because without Russian parts, supplies and maintenance help, “our ships won’t sail, our planes won’t fly,” the official said. “We can hardly be the regional security provider that America wants us to be at this rate.”
One way to avoid secondary sanctions would be if the U.S. determines that India is reducing its dependence on Russian arms, said Atman Trivedi, managing director of Hills & Company, a Washington-based firm that advises on international trade and investment.
Russian hardware represented 62 percent of the country’s total weapons imports during the past five years, compared with 79 percent in 2008-2012, the Stockholm Peace Research Institute said in a report last month.
The U.S. administration could also declare that imposing sanctions on India, a major defense partner, would hurt U.S. national security interests. That would allow a waiver permitting India to do business with Russia.
The United States has emerged as India’s No. 2 weapons supplier, closing $15 billion worth of deals over the last decade. Now Lockheed Martin and Boeing are leading the race to provide India with a fleet of new fighter-bombers, one of the world’s largest open tenders.
“The intent of the legislation was never to disrupt U.S.-India defense relations, which Congress has repeatedly recognized in law as a strategic priority to the U.S.,” said Benjamin Schwartz, aerospace and defense head at United States India Business Council.
Abercrombie of Carnegie added that if Congress grants waivers to India, it may also need to do so for other countries such as Vietnam and Indonesia.
“The bottom line: India warrants an exemption from these secondary sanctions, as does any country with which the U.S. is forging new and strategically important defense relations,” she said.

TNI akan geser pasukan ke wilayah Natuna
Senin, 23 April 2018 20:07 WIB
Panglima TNI, Marsekal Hadi Tjahjanto. (ANTARA /Ampelsa) (antara)
Penempatan personel atau pasukan tempur di sini adalah sifatnya alih kodal."
Natuna (ANTARA News) - Panglima TNI Marsekal TNI Hadi Tjahjanto akan menggeser sekitar dua ribuan pasukan dari pulau Jawa ke wilayah Natuna, Kepulauan Riau, untuk mengisi tempat-tempat yang tengah dibangun fasilitas militernya.
"Penempatan personel atau pasukan tempur di sini adalah sifatnya alih kodal," kata Panglima TNI usai kunjungan kerja ke pulau Pulau Sekatung dan berbagai fasilitas militer yang tengah dibangun di Kepulauan Natuna, Senin.
Pasukan yang akan ditempatkan di Natuna di antaranya adalah marinir hingga tingkat batalyon.
Peninjauan beberapa fasilitas di Kepulauan Natuna bertujuan mengintegrasikan tiga angkatan, yakni laut, udara dan darat.
"Di mulai Baterai Armed, Satuan Radar, hingga Marinir," kata Hadi.
Dalam kunjungannya, Hadi juga memeriksa Baterai Armed di Teluk Buton. Pada Satuan Artileri Medan itu telah berdiri bangunan markas dan beberapa fasilitas dan prasarana yang menyertainya, seperti tempat tinggal.
Ia pun meminta agar satuan segera menentukan tempat latihan agar ketika nanti ada prajurit yang dikirimkan untuk bertugas di sana telah ada tempat dan jadwal latihan yang efektif.
Hadi juga mengunjungi pembangunan dermaga di Selat Lampa. Ia merasa senang karena dermaga labuh untuk kapal-kapal TNI AL ini telah memiliki fasilitas untuk menyediakan air tawar dan bahan bakar.
"Jadi, untuk pengisian bahan bakar tidak perlu lagi ke Batam," ujarnya.
Mantan Kepala Staf TNI Angkatan Udara (KSAU) ini berharap fasilitas militer yang tengah di bangun tersebut, baik hanggar untuk tiga heli dari tiga matra, pelabuhan di Selat Lampa dan rumah sakit bisa diselesaikan dalam waktu dekat ini.
"Mudah-mudahan pertengahan Mei 2018 sudah bisa diresmikan sehingga secara bertahap pasukan maupun peralatannya bisa disiapkan di wilayah Natuna," katanya.
Di tempat yang sama, Ketua DPR RI Bambang Soesatyo menegaskan pembangunan pangkalan militer dan pertahanan di wilayah Natuna, Kepulauan Riau patut diperkuat dalam menjaga keutuhan Negara Kesatuan Republik Indonesia (NKRI) dari campur tangan pihak asing.
"Kunjungan kerja yang dilakukan Panglima TNI di wilayah perbatasan seperti Natuna ini fokus pada pertahanan dan keamanan negara dari kemungkinan intervensi asing," kata Bambang yang ikut bersama Panglima TNI Marsekal TNI Hadi Tjahjanto.
Hadir dalam kunjungan itu, Ketua DPD RI Oesman Sapta Odang, Pangkostrad Letjen TNI Agus Kriswanto, Danjen Kopassus Mayjen TNI Eko Margiono, Dankormar Mayjen TNI (Mar) Bambang Suswantono, Dankorpaskhas Marsda TNI Seto Purnomo, Anggota Komisi III DPR Ahmad Sahroni dan para Asisten Panglima TNI serta Asisten Mabes Angkatan.
Menurut Bambang, wilayah Natuna yang berada dekat dengan Laut China Selatan (LCS) menjadi incaran Amerika dan China yang ingin menguasai LCS tersebut sehingga diperlukan penguatan pertahanan negara di wilayah Natuna.
Oleh karena itu, pria yang akrab disapa Bamsoet ini mendorong Komisi I DPR untuk membahas peningkatan anggaran pertahanan, khususnya daerah perbatasan di Natuna.

RSS
A representative at the Wuxi-based Jiangsu Digital Eagle Technology Development Company confirmed the first overseas sales of its YFT-CZ36 vertical take-off and landing (VTOL) fixed-wing surveillance UAV to the Indonesian and Malaysian governments.
The company representative would not identify the government agencies or numbers sold. Besides Indonesia and Malaysia, the source did confirm that the aircraft had made additional sales to other undisclosed countries. These successes encouraged the company to exhibit for the first time at DSA 2018 in Kuala Lumpur.
The YFT-CZ36 has a 4,000m maximum altitude, 4kg payload, 70-100km/h cruising speed and a 60-90-minute endurance.
The company is also offering international UAV customers four different VTOL rotorcraft platforms.
The four-rotor YM-4140 security drone has a 1,000m maximum altitude, 3kg maximum payload, 5-10m/s cruising speed and 40-60-minute endurance.
The six-rotor YM-6130 security drone has a 1,000m maximum altitude, 16kg maximum payload, 5-10m/s cruising speed and 40-minute endurance.
The eight-rotor YM-8120 security drone has the same maximum altitude, 3.3kg maximum payload and 30-minute endurance.
The company also offers a fire-fighting UAV. The eight-rotor YM-8160 Digital Eagle Fire Drone has a 15kg maximum payload, 5-10m/s cruising speed and 10-15-minute endurance. It can carry fire extinguishers and break windows.
The company also offers a variety of UAV jammer systems, along with two- and three-axis cameras.

@ Barjo,
In October last year, our Pak Hadi had already stated that we will buy 11 fire unit of Oerlikon Skyshield.
Thus this buying value of €100 millions will definitely fit for these 11 units.
