It should be Boeing 737, TNI AU 707 has been decommissioned since 2005 IIRC.

If it comes in the utility version then it should, but in it's current form (VVIP version) then it would just be a huge waste of time. The main problem is that it just doesn't have the versatility of the utility version at all.

It needs time to be reconfigured to be able to lift cargo (removed the seat, furniture, pre-check, etc), the lack of access doors on the VVIP version (no large side sliding-door & ramp-door at the rear) would prolong the process of loading/unloading cargo & limit the capability of this aircraft, and also the lack of certified pilot/crew & equipment to man/operate this specific type of helicopter in the air force's services would limit the role/operational status of the plane itself.

In this case the addition of such asset would just add more complexity & risk which will occur in the fields, all this still not counting about media/political backlash regarding the legality status of the plane itself if it really going to be used on such scenario.

Hospital ship KRI dr Suharso-990. (wikipedia.org)

Jakarta, (ANTARA News) - The Indonesian Navy (TNI AL) has evacuated 1,300 survivors from Palu, Central Sulawesi, that was hit by a powerful earthquake and tsunami on September 28, to Makassar in South Sulawesi.

Its hospital ship, KRI dr Soeharso-900, in the meantime, is on its way from Benoa, Bali, to the region carrying a health team, its spokesman Commodore Gig Jonias Mozes Sipadulta said here on Wednesday.

The ship is scheduled to arrive on Thursday, he added.

He said TNI AL continued deploying forces and personnel to the region.

"From the first day of the disaster in Palu or several hours later, TNI AL directly deployed its forces to the location. The first batch came from its VIth Base in Makassar," he said.

He said TNI AL still sent forces to the disaster-affected region as it has the capacity to carry logistics and materials on a large scale.

Media: Indonesia has Postponed the Purchase of Russian Fighters Due to US Sanctions‍

MOSCOW - RIA News. The implementation of the Russian-Indonesian contract for the supply of 11 Su-35 fighters to Jakarta has been delayed due to possible US sanctions, the Kommersant newspaper reports, citing two top managers of defense enterprises and a source close to the government.

According to the newspaper, restrictive measures that Washington is ready to introduce within the framework of the Law on Countering the Opponents of the United States through Sanctions (CAATSA) have had an effect on the delivery time of the Su-35. "The US has not given Indonesia guarantees not to apply restrictive measures," the newspaper writes.

At the same time, Kommersant notes that the contract for the supply of Su-35 retains its legal force.

In addition, according to the newspaper, Russia also has difficulties. “When implementing the contract, it was planned to use a credit scheme, funds for which would be allocated by one of the commercial banks. But this is fraught with serious consequences for him, because in the US they regard this loan as cooperation with Rosoboronexport and impose sanctions against the bank,” the newspaper writes.

One of the interlocutors of the publication called the situation "unpleasant, but in no way critical." "We are in constant contact with our Indonesian partners, looking for ways out of the situation," he added.

Supply of Su-35 to Indonesia

In September, the Indonesian Ambassador to Russia Mohammad Wahid Supriyadi said that Indonesia expects to receive the first Su-35 in October 2019.

Prior to this, the diplomat stated that Indonesia expects delivery of the first of 11 Russian Su-35 aircraft by October 2018. In June, he said that Indonesia had signed an agreement with Russia to purchase 11 newest Sukhoi aircraft, calling the deal “very large.” Earlier, Director of International Cooperation and Regional Policy of Rostec State Corporation Viktor Kladov said that Indonesia could purchase an additional batch of Su-35 fighter jets while allocating the necessary funds from the country's budget.

According to the Director General of the Foreign Trade Department of the Indonesian Ministry of Commerce, Oke Noorwan, the cost of the deal to buy 11 Russian aircraft is estimated at 1.14 billion dollars He noted that, according to the terms of the agreement, Russia needs to purchase a number of goods from Indonesia, including palm oil, coffee, tea and rubber, worth about 570 million dollars.

I think it is good to postpone Su 35 acquisition, it is better to check whether USA give green light or not. SU 35 acquisition itself has potential to disturb KFX/IFX program. It is better to pick KFX/IFX program than SU 35 acquisition. The money saved can also be use to pay KFX/IFX payment.

Penempatan tank Leopard di Kupang, Nusa Tenggara Timur itu dalam upaya mendukung peralatan utama sistem persenjataan (Alutsista) TNI-AD, karena berhadapan dengan dua negara, yakni Timor Leste dan Australia.
Kupang (AntaraNews NTT) - Komandan Korem 161/Wirasakti Kupang Brigjen TNI Teguh Muji Angkasa mengatakan sesuai dengan rencana strategis (Renstra) TNI 2015-2019 dalam mendukung sistem pertahanan keamanan di kawasan perbatasan, maka TNI-AD akan menempatkan tank Leopard di Kupang, NTT.

"Ke depan TNI akan membangun kompi Kaveleri di Naibonat dan Batalyon Pertahanan Udara di Camplong, Kabupaten Kupang. Jika ada kompi kaveleri maka otomatis tank Leopard akan ditempatkan di sini," katanya kepada wartawan di Kupang, Jumat (5/10) usai peringatan HUT ke-73 TNI di Pangkalan Udara El Tari Kupang.

Penempatan tank Leopard di Kupang, Nusa Tenggara Timur itu dalam upaya mendukung peralatan utama sistem persenjataan (Alutsista) TNI-AD, karena berhadapan dengan dua negara, yakni Timor Leste dan Australia.

"Nantinya tank besar itu akan bermarkas di Naibobat pada tahun 2019. Tentu saja ini akan menambah Alutsista di wilayah NTT," tambah mantan Wadanjen Kopassus itu.

Ia menambahkan selain tank Leopard, TNI juga akan memiliki senjata pertahanan udara yang akan ditempatkan di Camplong, tepatnya di markas Batalyon Pertahanan Udara (Yonhanud) yang memang saat ini sedang dalam persiapan untuk pembangunan markasnya.

Keberadaan sejumlah Alutsista di NTT itu, kata jenderal berbintang satu itu, bukan karena daerah itu dalam bahaya, namun hanya bagian dari mempertahankan wilayah NTT karena memang NTT adalah bagian dari Indonesia.

Di samping masalah Alutsista, ia juga menyampaikan bahwa di usia TNI yang ke-73 ini, pasukan TNI khususnya di kawasn perbatasan harus tetap menjalankan tugas pokoknya menjaga wilayah NKRI.

Ia mengatakan TNI di perbatasan yang memang sudah terpilih mengawal perbatasan harus bangga dengan apa yang menjadi tugasnya menjadi pintu masuk perbatasan.

Ia pun berharap diusia tersebut kedewasaan setiap prajurit TNI harus ditingkatkan, membantu masyarakat serta melindungi bangsa dan negara dari gangguan mana pun.

Leopard Tanks will be placed in Kupang, West Nusa Tenggara, the province which has borders with Timor Leste and Australia.
