Man do you select ladies for your forces from some beauty contest

Nope, they are graduated from the police academy through layers of selection dan training.
The candidates must pass administration requirements, background check, physical and academical test to enter the police academy.
At the police academy, the female cadets they must conduct 40 months of training alongside the male cadets in the same programs without gender discrimination.

Thanks ...... . SK has chosen double engine KFX (C-103), it is the latest news, there is a thread about KFX/IFX that we try to update.

Well, I think SU 27 is not going to be replaced in any time soon, I believe we will upgrade them. The one that is going to be replace is our F-5 Tiger.

A nice gift for the anniversary :

OPM members swear allegiance to RI, hand over five firearms
The Jakarta Post, Jakarta | Archipelago | Sat, August 16 2014

The XVII/Cendrawasih Military Command chief spokesman Lt. Col. Rikas Hidayatullah said Saturday some 500 members of the separatist Free Papua Movement (OPM) in West Papua swore allegiance to Indonesia and handed over the Morning Star flag and five firearms.

Rikas said the OPM members surrendered in Sumuruk village, Ransiki district in South Manokwari, West Papua province, as reported by Antara news agency.

He added that Cenderawasih Military Command Chief Maj. Gen. Christian Zebua received the former rebels and handed a red and white flag to them.

“The 500 OPM members declared that they had surrendered and wanted to return to the Unitary State of the Republic of Indonesia [NKRI],” he said.

Rikas said the former rebels, known as the Kaswari 1 and Kaswari 2 groups, were led by village chiefs Yance Mandacan, Sayori and Ajis Mandacan to surrender to the authorities.

“We are fed up with fighting in the jungle. It is useless and it is much better to return and rejoin NKRI. We hope our friends will follow our decision," one of the former members of OPM, which has been staging a low-intensity struggle for independence, was reported as saying.

He added the former rebels handed over an SKS carabine, two revolvers, one M16A1 assault rifle and one double-barreled rifle. (alz/nvn)

So no plans to buy more SU27s?

We are still evaluating for F-5 Tiger replacement. So far the competitors are Su-35 and Gripen.

I personally prefer Su-35 over Gripen. My cousin served in Swedish Air Forces (but not a pilot) told me that they dont see Gripen as first line fighter or air superiority fighter too match the Sukhois. For them Gripen is more like their own version of F-16. A tactical fighter. But i think Indonesian military would prefer Gripen over Su-35 because of bigger chances to get Transfer of technology or any sort of joint development since SAAB is providing radars and missiles for our new stealth patrol ship (the new Klewang Class).

Yes, USA has already offered another "grant" F-16 that need to be refurbished later (and we have to pay for it), as long as US want to give us important TOT, it can be a good choice. Avionic systems is the one that we need.
