not related with defense and so on, but we got many talented people waiting for the right situation to show their mettle. Just wish if the civilian sector cant utilized such person maybe the armed forces can do that (but i dont have a big hope for such situation to happen...) , for this guy his expertize on electric grid and system can do wonder for our frontier base at outer islands. Small wind turbin can generate enough electricity to supply a small base for a company sized troops. Not to mention electric vehicle will be the future of C UGV choices like what US ARMY and DARPA being developed right now to support their platoon size unit as maul or combat support unit.

Kupang, E Nusa Tenggara (ANTARA) - The East Nusa Tenggara provincial police on Thursday dispatched 100 members of its mobile brigade (Brimob) unit to Papua Province to assist in the law enforcement efforts against armed rebels.

The Brimob personnel will remain stationed in several subdistricts of this easternmost province until December 15, 2019, East Nusa Tenggara (NTT) Police Chief Inspector General Raja Erizman told journalists here.

The government has been doing its best to improve the quality of infrastructure in Papua to improve the local people's lives, but armed rebels are trying to challengethe government's existence and authority, he said.

Furthermore, the armed rebels have firmly refused to join the Unitary State of the Republic of Indonesia, he said, adding that the National Police has entrusted the East Nusa Tenggara Police's Mobile Brigade unit with this honorable mission to Papua.

The trust bestowed is a matter of pride, he said. Therefore, all on-duty personnel must work to preserve the honor of the police corps during their law enforcement mission in Papua, he said.

“The Brimob personnel also need to be aware of the fact that the armed Papuan rebels may have improved their warfare knowledge and skills thanks to easy access to the Internet,” he remarked.

“With the knowledge and skills learned from the Internet, they may have become more skillful and militant. To fight and crush them, security personnel with special capabilities are needed," he said.

Armed Papuan separatists have repeatedly launched deadly attacks and killings over the past years.

On Monday (Aug 12, 2019), First Brigadier Hedar was kidnapped and shot dead by an armed group in Usir Village, near Mudidok Village in Puncak District.

The incident reportedly occurred around 11 a.m. local time on Monday. First Brigadier Hedar and his colleague, Chief Brigadier Alfonso Wakum, were passing through the village on a motorcycle when a local resident called out their names and they stopped to meet him.

A few minutes later, a group of armed separatists appeared suddenly from a bush and intercepted them.

Conscious of the danger, Wakum managed to hide, but the armed rebels caught Hedar and killed him not far from the place where he was intercepted.

Wakum later reported the incident to the Ilaga police post. Hedar's body was found around 5.30 p.m. local time near the site of the abduction.

In the first half of 2019, there have been at least 10 shooting incidents involving armed separatists, which have claimed the lives of five soldiers, one policeman, and a civilian, according to Papua Police Chief Inspector General Rudolf A. Rodja.

The shootings that took place in the jurisdiction of the Puncak Jaya and Jayawijaya Police Precincts during the January-June period also resulted in six soldiers and two policemen suffering gunshot wounds, Rodja had stated on July 3, 2019.

On December 2, 2018, a group of armed Papuan rebels had brutally killed 31 workers from PT Istaka Karya, who were engaged in the building of the Trans Papua project in Kali Yigi and Kali Aurak in Yigi Sub-District, Nduga District.

At the time, the armed rebels had also killed a soldier identified as Handoko and injured two other security personnel named Sugeng and Wahyu.

Taking note of this grim reality, Rodja stated that the security disturbances caused by the rebels remain a persistent challenge to Indonesia's security apparatus in the province.

I think NLAW such unique ATGM system
This atgm class in between unguided rpg amd "true" atgm

Nlaw work with PLOS guidence, but there is no wire,IR seeker, or laser beam. It work by predicted tge movement of target, bfore launching operator tracked the target and the missilw itself calculated the target movement that predicted before

And then missile fired, missile follow as predicted before

The disadvantage, if the target change direction so the missile fail

(But i think this missile didnt use laser,radio or IR so it is hard to jammed, or blocked smoke laser warning or chaff mayve)

Cmiiw

And i also very like this system :woot:
It is only usd 30.000 affordable (just take money from "Pengadaan Mobil Dinas :chilli:)

This is saab-thales made maybe if we buy more we can get "ote ote"

NLAW FOR STANDARD ATGM !!!!

Wkkwkkwk

The most important factor is, its effective against ERA block, since future tank and MBT in region will much using ERA as add on armor protection

its effective agains't ERA , because ERA rarely covered tops/roof area of MBT turret (Since NLAW simply shot shaped charge/hollow charge downward into the turret roof) , but i think an active protection system like Arena APS still could handle this kind of threat , and future MBT would utilize more Active Protection System like said , Israeli Trophy , German Rheinmetall AMAP APS , Russian Arena , Turkey Pulat etc etc


Any chance we would considered Blackhawk again like the past rumour ? or TNI already satisfied with current H225M ?
 
Just as self reminder for us regarding future local made Fighters. Unless our economy as large as China and US then making our own fighters would not be visible in a long run. Multi national co-operation is needed, just like KFX/IFX but with larger share portion and more countries involve to meet its economic scale production cost. This is what has been missing when we decided to join KFX/IFX program. With only 200+ KFX/IFX planned to produce it will jack the price sky high thus risking the Fighters not be able to compete globaly. Now I am not against it, as it is already in motion but precautious step is needed for us to prevent this kind of thing happening to our future IFX.

An Indian facility that makes Su-30MKI jets may shut down, toppling 400 local suppliers

NEW DELHI — An Indian facility that manufactures Sukhoi Su-30MKI fighters may close in March 2020, leading to a domino effect that could see 400 local suppliers shut their shops over a lack of component orders, according to company officials and industry analysts.

A senior executive of India’s state-owned Hindustan Aeronautics Limited said the company, which owns the facility, will complete the production of the remaining eight Su-30MKI fighters on order by March. Then the production facility at Nasik, central India, could shut down if no new orders are placed, the executive warned.

An executive with the industry lobby group Federation of Indian Chambers of Commerce & Industry, said 400 local suppliers that build about 6,000 components worth $12.5 million for each Su-30MKI fighter may also shut down if no new orders are placed with HAL.

HAL produces about 12 Su-30MKI multirole fighters each year. The company is expected to complete the delivery of 272 Su-30MKI fighters by March 2020.

Each Su-30MKI is built by HAL for $70.3 million under license by Russia’s United Aircraft Corporation.

Another HAL executive said a formal request has been sent to the Indian Air Force and the Ministry for Defence that they place an additional order for 72 locally made Su-30MKI fighters for about $5 billion, but the government has not yet made a decision.

A senior Air Force official said the service could only order 18 fighters as a response to the number of Su-30MKI jets lost in accidents over the last two decades.

The Air Force is not eager to place large orders of these fighters because of the cost of locally made Su-30MKI jets.

“Each HAL-built Su-30MKI fighter costs around $70.3 million, where as a Russia-supplied fighter costs around $42.15 million,” the senior Air Force official said.

A senior MoD official said that Russia last month tried to pressure the Indian government to order an additional 72 Su-30MKI fighters with HAL, but the Indian Air Force is reluctant to place new orders in such a large number.

“The HAL built Su-30MKI fighter is not fully indigenized, only 51 percent is homemade, where the remaining 49 percent of supplies still comes from Russia,” said Bhim Sigh, a retired wing commander with the Indian Air Force.

Singh noted that most of the raw materials are sourced from Russia, including titanium blocks, forgings, aluminium and steel plates, as well as low-tech items such as nuts, bolts and screws.

HAL continues to depend on Russia as the original equipment manufacturer for components, raw material, servicing and overhaul of the fighters.
