There will be 4 kind of helicopter squadrons in our Air Force :
1. Medium lift helicopter squadron
2. Heavy lift helicopter squadron
3. Assault helicopter squadron
4. Combat SAR helicopter squadron

Who will guard our Air Force Helicopter Squadrons do their duty ?

Apache guardian helicopters.

Additional maintenance facility of course will be needed, that's why more Depohar and Sathar and also Skatek will be established in next Renstra 2020-2024.

For my point of view, our navy also needs these Apaches to guard and give air support of our amphibious forces to land.

Right ?

Navy need it, someday. To give beachead assault more firepower

They will use Apache as part of combat SAR and Air Forward Controller unit, to give an edge for CSAR unit when conducting combat SAR operation or establish line of control via Apache capabilities to giving allied units coordinated precision guide and supporting fire power at the same time.

Well rescue operation Syria and Sarajevo give alot of though about anti armor and precision fire power needed for CSAR operation

Apache is a good helo, everyone want it. BUT apa keuangan kita kuat? Kenapa ga cobra aja?

Apache is a good helo, everyone want it. BUT apa keuangan kita kuat? Kenapa ga cobra aja?

Conformity reason with the Army, same spare parts to avoid logistics nightmare.

Apache is premium attack helo, their population number is dwarfing the rest of attack helicopter in active services. Not to mention there is several countries made the parts like India Tata Boeing, Japan Mitsubishi, and Agusta Westland from UK, there is many supplier for their spare parts available. Not to mention the type of apache engines is very familiar among our MRO player.

Candidates for Maritime Security Board leadership still being discussed

President Joko “Jokowi” Widodo is still considering whom to appoint as the replacement of Maritime Security Board (Bakamla) head Vice Admiral Arie Soedewo, who is about to retire.

Arie told The Jakarta Post on Monday that he would officially retire on June 1. However, the name of his replacement remains unknown, as the matter is still being processed by President Jokowi.

“Normatively, I’m retired now, but the appointment process of my replacement is still being worked on by the government,” Arie said on a visit to Bakamla’s western base in Batam.

He said his replacement would be a three-star Indonesian Navy general. “I don’t know who my replacement is,” he said.

Arie played down speculation that his replacement might be one of three officials previously discussed as successors of Indonesian Navy Admiral (ret.) Ade Supandi. They are Navy deputy chief of staff Vice Adm. Achmad Taufiqoerrochman, TNI chief of general staff Vice Adm. Didit Herdiawan Ashaf and the military's Staff and Command School’s (Sesko) head Lt. Gen. (Mar) RM Trusono.

“I cannot mention any name,” Arie asserted. He expressed hope that his replacement could cooperate with other stakeholders so as to strengthen the role of Bakamla as a maritime security coordinator.

Arie had been implicated in a bribery case related to the procurement of an observation satellite in 2016. Arie was accused of having lured Commodore Bambang Udoyo, a Navy officer who was appointed to Bakamla as its data and information director, and other Bakamla officers to accept portions of the illicit money. Bambang was sentenced to four years and six months of imprisonment in December last year.

Arie was questioned last year by the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) as a witness in the case. (ebf)

Indonesia’s New Attack Helicopters Put Spotlight on US-Indonesia Defense Ties
The two sides held a ceremony last week to commemorate another completed delivery of military equipment.

By Prashanth Parameswaran
May 24, 2018


Last week, the United States and Indonesia held a ceremony to commemorate the completed delivery of Apache Guardian helicopters to the Southeast Asian state. The event once again placed the spotlight on the defense realm in the U.S.-Indonesia strategic partnership and the efforts by Jakarta to step up its military modernization efforts

As I have noted before in these pages, the United States and Indonesia have long shared a defense relationship, and that has continued to broaden over the years with some previous restrictions eased as well. U.S. policymakers have recognized that for all the limitations inherent in the U.S.-Indonesia relationship, Jakarta is nonetheless a significant actor in Southeast Asia and an important partner in addressing a wide range of security challenges. That pattern has continued on with U.S. President Donald Trump, as evidenced by several developments including U.S. Defense Secretary Jim Mattis’ visit to Indonesia in January (See: “What Does Mattis’ ASEAN Trip Say About Trump’s Asia Policy?”).

One of the elements of the U.S.-Indonesia defense relationship is military equipment, and a tangible example of that was the transfer of Apache Guardian helicopters to Indonesia. Indonesia had requested the eight Apache Guardians under the U.S. Foreign Military Sales (FMS) program back in 2012, and in 2015, the U.S. Department of Defense (DOD) had awarded Boeing a contract to supply Indonesia with eight AH-64E Apache Guardians. The helicopters began arriving in Indonesia in December 2017 with the final ones coming in in March 2018.

On May 16, Indonesia officially accepted eight AH-64E Apache helicopters from the United States. The helicopters were accepted at a ceremony attended by a range of Indonesian and U.S. officials, including Indonesian Defense Minister Ryamizard Ryacudu and U.S. Deputy Ambassador to Indonesia Erin Elizabeth McKee. During a ceremony that occurred at the Army Aviation Center at the Ahmad Yani Airport in Semarang, Ryacudu symbolically handed over the helicopters to TNI Commander Logistics Assistant Rear Admiral Bambang Nariyono, who was representing Air Chief Marshal Hadi Tjahjanto.

In accepting the helicopters, Ryacudu said the helicopters were important as part of the wider effort by Indonesia to strengthen its defense and modernize its military to counter various threats, and urged personnel to ensure their proper operation and maintenance. Both sides also cast the development as an example of bilateral defense cooperation occurring under the wider U.S.-Indonesia strategic partnership, which was reached back in 2015 (See: “US-Indonesia Strategic Partnership After Jokowi’s Visit”).

But still full respect to him, RIP Pak Azis Sumanto
