Jakarta, Aug 6 (ANTARA News) - Indonesian security forces fended off crowd`s provocation and saved hostages from a hijacked bus in a drill on Monday, as the countdown to the 2018 Asian Games continued.

"Today we have organized a security simulation for the athletes on their way into the venue," South Jakarta Police Chief Sr. Comr. Indra Jafar said in an interview after the drill here on Monday.

Security forces simulated a riot against athletes and a hostage situation. For the drill, dozens of officers from South Jakarta, the Mobile Brigade Corps, and Indonesian National Armed Forces gathered in a parking lot before Pondok Indah Golf Gallery, one of the two Asian Games venues in South Jakarta.

"The entire drill went well," said Jafar.

"We will apply a three-ring security system for the Asian Games. The first ring covers inside the venue; the second covers outside the venue; and the third covers the area nearby. The security officers will apply another open-and-closed security system as well," the Police Chief added.

For the open system, officers wearing uniforms will patrol Asian Games venues; for the closed system, plain clothes officers will accompany athletes and VIP guests as undercover bodyguards.

"According to the military chief (Marshal Hadi Tjahjanto) and the national police chief (General Tito Karnavian), the most serious threat are the terror attacks that intend to disrupt the event,"said Jafar.

Indonesian special forces completed a counter-terrorism drill on Aug. 1, simulating a militant attack at the complex of Gelora Bung Karno Stadium, the main stadium of the Asian Games.

The continental sporting event is set to run from Aug. 18 to Sept. 2 in Jakarta and Palembang. The southeast Asia`s biggest country is preparing to host tens of thousands of athletes and spectators.

Key Points
  • Indonesian shipbuilder PT PAL has launched the country’s sixth landing platform dock
  • The Indonesian Navy is on track to operate the vessel by 2019
State-owned shipbuilder PT PAL has launched the Indonesian Navy’s (Tentara Nasional Indonesia – Angkatan Laut: TNI–AL’s), sixth landing platform dock (LPD) ship.

The vessel, which bears the pennant number 594, was launched on 3 August at PT PAL’s facilities in Surabaya. A contract for the LPD was signed between the company and the Indonesian government in January 2017, and the vessel was subsequently laid down in August the same year.

The yet-to-be-named vessel is the third Indonesian LPD to be built indigenously by PT PAL, based on a design by South Korea’s Dae Sun Shipbuilding and Engineering.

I found in TNI, in all matra only pick mans with very good physics and fit body to hold higher officer ranks besides other criterion. It seems your career will be stuck if you got obesse

I wonder why we don't buy AMAP-B heavy for those Leopard 2A4+.
It will be far more cheaper to do so compare to upgrading them with Revolution external armour package (the nanocrystalline steel external armour is the single most expensive item in the Revolution upgrade package).
 
Just read in Windu Paramarta IG in one of his recent photos that the Pindad Medium Tank is set to undergo live firing test. And it seems by looking at his recent IG photos the 105mm barrel is different and much longer. (maybe its just me or the angle of the photo)
