I hope this issue one of the consideration, if we want to acquire the heavy lifter

German military refuses to take delivery of two Airbus A400M planes

BERLIN (Reuters) - Germany’s air force said on Wednesday it had decided not to accept delivery of two Airbus (AIR.PA) A400M planes, citing recurring technical problems with the military transporters.

The air force said the A400M had taken part in nearly 1,700 missions and formed the backbone of its air transport for carrying personnel and material, air-to-air refueling and humanitarian aid missions.

Although 31 aircraft of 53 ordered had been handed over, it said there were technical issues with the planes, including with nuts used on propellers. It said extra time was needed for inspections that undermined the readiness of the A400M fleet.

Airbus said in a statement that issues with the model were not safety critical.

“We are aware of findings related to dowel bolts/Propeller interface in some of our customer aircraft,” it said. “This is not safety critical and our customers continue to accept and operate their aircraft.”

It said it was working both with Europrop International (EPI), the consortium responsible for providing the troop carrier’s turboprop engines, and Ratier-Figeac, the French company that makes the propellers, to alleviate the need for inspections.

The German air force said extra inspections were also needed to test engine mounts, combustion chambers and engine flaps and for crack detection on various parts. It said the A400M was still not able to perform all tasks, despite these checks.

“The overall technical defects and the realization that the two planes due to be delivered also do not possess the characteristics that were guaranteed in the contract, have resulted in the armed forces not taking these aircraft,” the Luftwaffe, or air force, said in a statement.

The A400M was commissioned in 2003 to give Europe an independent airlift capacity to support military or humanitarian missions, rather than relying on the Lockheed Martin (LMT.N) C-130 or the now out-of-production Boeing (BA.N) C-17.

A 3.5-billion-euro bailout from Belgium, Britain, France, Germany, Luxembourg, Spain and Turkey rescued the A400M program from cancellation in 2010 after delays and cost overruns.

KOMPAS.com — Direktur Utama PT Len Industri Zakky Gamal Yasin menyatakan, pihaknya siap mendukung kemandirian alutsista TNI.

“Hingga kini produk pertahanan Len sudah running well dan telah diaplikasikan ke berbagai alat pertahanan yang digunakan oleh TNI,” kata Zakky, seperti dalam keterangan tertulisnya.

Untuk diketahui, PT Len Industri (Persero) merupakan salah satu industri yang menjadi komponen utama dalam memenuhi kebutuhan alat utama sistem senjata (alutsista) TNI.

Zakky menyampaikan kesiapan tersebut kepada Tim Kunjungan Kerja Spesifik Komisi I DPR, yang dipimpin Wakil Ketua Komisi I Utut Adianto, ketika peninjauan langsung PT Len Industri, Kamis (14/11/2019).

Selain ingin memastikan kesiapan PT Len Industri dalam memenuhi kebutuhan alutsista TNI, dalam kunjungan tersebut Utut beserta jajarannya juga ingin mengetahui peralatan alutsista apa saja yang sudah dikembangkan PT Len Industri.

“Pertemuan ini membahas rekam jejak PT Len Industri dalam bisnis pertahanan, juga kesiapannya dalam memenuhi kebutuhan peralatan elektronika pertahanan dan peralatan radar untuk TNI,” kata Utut.

Pada kunjungan tersebut, Utut mendorong pula PT Len Industri melakukan pengembangan atas teknologi pertahanan nasional.

“Ke depannya akan banyak program pemerintah untuk alutsista yang perlu mendapat dukungan dari BUMN yang bergerak di bidang pengembangan alutsista, salah satunya adalah pengembangan sistem radar yang dibuat PT Len Industri,” kata Utut.

Zakky berharap, pemerintah dapat memberikan dukungannya terhadap pengembangan industri pertahanan nasional serta terus mengaplikasikan produk unggulan PT Len Industri dalam sistem pertahanan Republik Indonesia.

Amerika Berharap Prabowo Bisa Diajak Kerjasama Meningkatkan Hubungan Militer Kedua Negara

November 15, 2019 A Ziyadi

Sejak dilantik menjadi Menteri Pertahanan, Prabowo Subianto boleh dibilang jadi menteri rising star. Mantan Danjen Kopassus itu seperti benar-benar ngebut untuk mewujudkan Minimum Essential Force jilid II persis seperti visi misi yang pernah disampaikanya.

Yang menarik lainya, Prabowo selalu dengan tegas menyebut bahwa dirinya adalah pembantu Presiden dan setiap langkahnya siap dipertanggung jawabkan pada Presiden selaku panglima tertinggi.

Sejak dilantik, Letjen (Purn) Prabowo Subianto sudah banyak antri para diplomat dari negara asing entah sekedar untuk meningkatkan persahabatan atau sekaligus menawarkan alustista buatan negaranya tak terkecuali negara adidaya AS.

Tak ketinggalan Duta Besar AS di Jakarta juga bertamu menghadap Pak Menteri pada (12/11/2019) Joseph Donovan berkunjung ke Kemhan RI untuk bertemu dengan Menhan Prabowo Subianto untuk meningkatkan kerjasama pertahanan dua negara yang selama ini sudah terjalin dengan baik

Dalam kesempatan itu Kepala Kantor Hubungan Masyarakat Sekretariat Jenderal, Brigadir Jenderal Totok Sugiharto mengatakan “Kunjungan ini memberikan kesempatan bagi kedua pihak untuk berdiskusi tentang upaya untuk memperkuat kerja sama yang saling menguntungkan,”

Sebagaimana diketahui Indonesia adalah pengguna setia dari alutsista AS sebut saja pesawat tempur F 16 dan pesawat angkut C 130 Hercules dan kedepannya pun Indonesia khususnya TNI AU pun tetap mempertahankan status pengguna setia alutsista AS karena dalam renstra tahun 2020-2024 TNI AU akan membeli jet tempur F 16 Viper dan C 130J Super Hercules plus ditambah lagi pesawat AWACS dan Tanker yang kemungkinan besar berasal dari AS

TNI Ingatkan Ancaman Perang RI-Malaysia Karena Perbatasan

Jakarta, CNN Indonesia -- Direktur Topografi Angkatan Darat Brigjen Asep Edi Rosidin mengingatkan pemerintah Indonesia dan Malaysia agar tidak berlarut-larut dalam menyelesaikan negosiasi batas negara. Peringatan ia berikan karena negosiasi yang tak segera diselesaikan bisa memicu masalah.

Perkiraannya, ada tiga masalah yang bisa muncul dari negosiasi yang tak kunjung kelar tersebut. Pertama, konfrontasi antara Indonesia dan Malaysia.

"Kepastian hukum batas negara juga tidak ada. Ujung- ujungnya kalau nanti intensitas ketegangan semakin meningkat tidak menutup kemungkinan akan terjadi yang lebih parah lagi, seperti yang dulu, konfrontasi dan lain lain, terjadinya perang antar negara bertetangga," kata Asep saat konferensi pers di kawasan Menteng, Jakarta Pusat, Sabtu (16/11).


Kedua, urusan sengketa bisa dibawa ke Mahkamah Internasional. Sebagai informasi, Indonesia pernah kalah dalam sengketa Pulau Sipadan dan Ligitan pada 2002 di jalur Mahkamah Internasional.

"Kalau tidak selesai penyelesaian akan dibawa ke Mahkamah Internasional, di mana kalau di situ keputusan bukan di tangan kita tapi di tangan mereka (Mahkamah Internasional). Itu tidak bagus," katanya.

Ketiga, hambatan pembangunan di wilayah batas negara.

"Kalau dibiarkan tidak selesai berlarut-larut itu akan menimbulkan ketegangan. Di situ akan menimbulkan persaingan tidak sehat. kemudian pembangunan akan terkendala," kata Asep.
