Key Points
  • The Indian, and Indonesian navies are taking part in a new bilateral exercise known as 'Samudra Shakti'
  • Exercise has been widely interpreted as part of New Delhi's move to strengthen its presence in the strategic maritime region
In a further sign of increasingly cordial ties between the two services, the Indian Navy's Rajput (Kashin II)-class destroyer IS Rana (D 52) has arrived in Surabaya for a bilateral naval exercise with the Indonesian Navy (Tentara Nasional Indonesia - Angkatan Laut, or TNI-AL).

The drills, which have been named Exercise 'Samudra Shakti', is seeing its inaugural edition, and is taking place from 12 to 18 November in Surabaya for the harbour phase, and waters off Java for sea phase.

"The aim of the exercise is to strengthen bilateral relations, expand maritime co-operation, enhance interoperability, and exchange best practices," said the Indian Ministry of Defence in a statement on the drills. "The visit of the ship seeks to promote India's solidarity with Indonesia towards ensuring good order in the maritime domain and to strengthen existing bonds between the navies of the two nations," the ministry added.

Among operations that will be carried out include a surface warfare gunnery drill, search-and-rescue (SAR) practices, and counter-piracy serials.

Prior to 'Samudra Shakti', the Indian Navy and the TNI-AL have had regular naval interactions, but these centred mostly around a biennial co-ordinated patrol along the international maritime boundary line between both countries. The new bilateral exercise features more complex operations, such as helicopter manoeuvres.

Besides Rana , Jane's understands from a TNI-AL Armada II official that other assets involved in the sea phase are namely the Diponegoro (Sigma)-class corvette, KRI Sultan Iskandar Muda (367) with an embarked AS565 MBe Panther helicopter, a CN235 maritime patrol aircraft, and a Beechcraft Baron G58 trainer aircraft. The TNI-AL's delegation to the exercise will comprise about 380 personnel.

Excalibur Army eyes Indonesian requirements with Pandur II CZ
Christopher F Foss, London - Jane's International Defence Review
14 November 2018
Czech company Excalibur Army has developed a new version of the 8×8 Pandur II CZ armoured fighting vehicle (AFV) called the Pandur II CZ Fire Support Vehicle (FSV), which has recently undergone trials in Indonesia alongside an infantry fighting vehicle (IFV) variant.

The Pandur II CZ FSV is fitted with the Belgian CMI Defence CT-CV 105HP turret, which is armed with a 105 mm rifled gun fitted with a thermal sleeve, fume extractor, and muzzle brake. The gun is fed by a bustle mounted automatic loader that holds ready for use 105 mm ammunition.

Indonesia might buy more Chiron MANPADS systems from South Korea
November 2018 Global Defense Security army news industry
POSTED ON TUESDAY, 13 NOVEMBER 2018 15:43


South Korea could provide Indonesia with additional surface-to-air missiles (SAMs). LIG Nex1 sold the Chiron SAM to Indonesia in 2012. Now, South Korea could expand the number of systems in service with the Indonesian Air Force which acquired and has been operating Chirons since 2014, integrated with Oerlikon Skyshield 35 mm anti-aircraft gun system.

The KP-SAM Shin-Gung, or Shin-Kung, (Chiron) is a South Korean shoulder-launched surface-to-air missile manufactured by LIG Nex1. It is marketed internationally as the Chiron. While the missile system externally resembles a French Mistral, the entire missile system including the seeker, control section, warhead and motor were developed and manufactured in South Korea. The missile features integrated IFF systems, night and adverse weather capabilities, a two-colour (IR/UV) infrared seeker to aid in negating infrared countermeasures (IRCM) and a proximity-fuse warhead. During development tests the missile scored a 90% hit ratio. The missile is said to be superior to the American FIM-92 Stinger or the French Mistral in hit probability and portability. It had been involved in a missile test where the Shingung's missile made impact on a low-flying target as high as 3.5 kilometers with a speed of 697.5 m/s (more than Mach 2.36) and a distance range of 7 km.

The Shin-Gung was designed and manufactured to protect South Korean troops in the forward area, which started in 1995 under the direction of LIG Nex1. In late 2003, the delivery of the Igla SAMs from Russia in payment for Russian debts to Korea appear to have solved the problem momentarily. The KP-SAM began production in 2004 with extended trials in early 2005. In late 2005, the KP-SAM Shingung entered service with the South Korean Army, after being in development for nearly 8 years. The South Korean Army has ordered some 2,000 units to be delivered in the near future. Indonesia is the only export customer for this missile system.

Hope our Marines willing to upgrade their RM 70 grad into modular config. Using 6 X227 mm cal M270 standard munitions while capable to launch 28 X122 mm standard gard rockets is quite tempting. And hopefully our future modular indigenous MLRS construction will follow this pattern. The advantage of the 227 mm cal rockets caliber is quite obvious, as they had advantage in range and firepower, and has wide array of warhead and submunition types.

Ukraine sees growing Indonesian opportunities as a result of CAATSA
Jon Grevatt, Bangkok - IHS Jane's Defence Industry
15 November 2018
Ukraine’s defence industry is looking to boost its presence in Indonesia and take advantage of US laws that sanction procurers of Russian military equipment.

UkrOboronProm, Ukraine’s state-owned defence exports and industry agency, has said that it is “working on plans” with the Southeast Asian country to strengthen industrial collaboration based on defence exports to the Indonesian Armed Forces (Tentara Nasional Indonesia: TNI).

In a press release following the Indo Defence exhibition in Jakarta, which ended on 10 November, UkrOboronProm said that Ukrspecexport – Ukraine’s military import/export agency – and a “leading Indonesian defence company” had signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) at the show to co-operate on promoting Ukrainian armoured vehicles to the Southeast Asian defence market.
