Better wait for statement from Prabowo but I doubt we will pick Rafale since it will complicate our logistic issue just like mentioned by @Chestnut. Our Airforce itself has already picked F 16 V after considering so many aspects.

Despite so, I still doubt that we are going to buy F 16 V anyway since Jokowi repeatedly insist on curbing imported weapons. This is why even our new Defense Minister still doesnt say anything firm about F 16 V acquisition so far. The most rational way IMO is spending on naval assets first (2 OPV, 2 Frigates, 3 additional submarines). This acquisition is also planned to involve our defense industry greatly so it is inline with Jokowi policy on arm procurement. And for the Airforce fighter acquisition, we have to wait until KFX enter mass production phase IMO. And actually we also must spend 2 billion USD for its R&D until 2026, something that even Jokowi himself feel too much for it and wanting to renegotiate.

And talking about SU 35, I believe we will still buy it but IMO government still want to renegotiate the previous deal since many said the price is too high. The contract I believe will be signed when Putin visited Indonesia as plan. Sukhoi so far is still preferred due to its long range and heavy weight characteristic. We should still remember that many of our airspace violation are handled by our Sukhoi since it can cover huge area. With limited fighter assets and is combined with huge area to cover, having more Sukhoi seems to be quite rational. Not to mentioned its ability to carry Brahmos, a capability that we need, since our potential conflicts are at sea, whether in Ambalat or North Natuna Sea.

CMIIW, bukannya F-16V dan Su-35 itu dua pengadaan yang beda ya? F-16V buat ganti Hawk sementara Su-35 buat gantiin F-5 jadi seharusnya gk saling mengganjal (terlepas dari CAATSA). Atau memang sekarang AU pengadaan pespur-nya cuma bisa satu jenis?

Terus kenapa anda bisa bilang F-16V batal karena Jokowi menekankan pengurangan impor tapi Su-35 yg sama-sama impor gk kena??

F-16V emang buat menggantikan Hawk (32 Unit), Sementara Su-35S buat ganti F-5 (11 Unit dengan Opsi tambahan 5 unit).

Speaking About Rafale, Unless it is said that we want to buy 48 units to be realized. The payoff for training, basing, maintainance and armament costs is quite worth it. only the budget and manpower are ready or not? Plus, Rafale's life of spare parts is much longer than the typical Flanker series, so it's okay too. this is also if what is being pursued is independence in the operation of defense equipment and the readiness of the Indonesian Air Force to take serious acquisitions in a full package, there is no need to buy in stages with the purchase of the previous Flanker which in the end will swell the total price.

But it is wiser to follow Singapore's steps, which is to buy an F-15 Strike Eagle (if TNI AU still wants twin engine aircraft), although its maneuverability is still less than Rafale, but its Commonality, operational readiness and maturity are more numerous.

Bangladesh’s CCDL invites EoIs for joint production of six OPVs
Gabriel Dominguez, London - Jane's Defence Weekly
26 January 2020

The Bangladesh Navy (BN)-owned Chittagong Dry Dock Limited (CCDL) has invited expressions of interest (EoIs) by 29 February from foreign shipbuilders for the joint production of six offshore patrol vessels (OPVs) for the BN.

In a statement issued on 16 January by CCDL pointed out that each of the OPVs must be at least 85 m long, have an overall beam of about 14 m, a hull draught of no more than 4 m, and a full-load displacement of about 2,000 tonnes.

Each of the vessels will be required to feature a landing deck to embark a helicopter weighing up to 11 tonnes and of carrying two “mission-oriented containers”.​

I think we shall offer them our KN Pulau Marore Class , we already successful in selling 18 unit of Lundin X12 High Speed Patrol Boat to their navy before .

Theoretically it is indeed a different set of acquisition as you already explain but since all planning still needs approval from Minister of Defense, that acquisition planning from Air Force IMO still can be changed and scrapped. And since Jokowi himself have expressed his preference on domestic defense equipment or defense equipment that has strong domestic defense industry involvement, so I think the likelihood of F 16 V acquisition planning to be approved is rather small.

I predict future defense procurement will be more inline with Jokowi pro defense industry policy. Not to mention he has conveyed this idea repeatedly. He also has criticized previous defense procurement deal made by our armed force as a mere project oriented and not using long term vision, especially in relation with our defense industry advancement and progress. His policy has also had its root from our current trade deficit problem and his long vision to make Indonesia as advance country in 2045.

In conclusion, I just try to read the gesture and statements made by MOD and Jokowi themselves and try to make some analysis from it in relation with our future defense procurement. I can be wrong of course.

The reason of why I still believe Su 35 acquisition will still be executed is because the deal have already been approved by previous MOD. I also have mentioned some advantages of this fighter that maybe become some sort of strong consideration to continue the deal. But the main reason of it IMO is because the approval from previous MOD. It is like when you have already reached agreement to buy something from other party but in the end you just walk out of it. I predict we still keep buying it but will try to renegotiate about the price.

Thank you for highlighting what I said.

In my humble opinion however I realized it would not be out of the realm of possibility for the Air Force to end up procuring both the Vipers and the Rafale. If for example like video said the F-16V's would be funded under the 2021 defense budget then I don't see how it would interfere with a Rafale purchase later on.

For the most part it has already been confirmed that the Air Force wants the F-16V to replace the Hawk 209's and in my opinion because Lockheed Martin offered to also upgrade the existing Vipers to the new Block 70/72 standard. It would then make sense that the Air Force would then choose the Rafale to replace the F-5 under a 2022 or 2023 defense budget. The planes aren't badly badly incompatible, yet the Air Force would have to buy two seperate weapon packages as the MICA and Meteor can't be used on an F-16 while the AIM-9 and the AIM-120 isn't compatible on the Rafale. However, they are Link-16 compatible and unlike the Flanker can be used in conjunction with our PKR's and air defense grid.

German Naval Yards Kiel Files A Complaint Against The MKS180 Decision
Public procurement law expert demands exclusion of Damen shipyard - Kiel-based company will go to the public procurement chamber if necessary.
Xavier Vavasseur 28 Jan 2020​

GNYK press release

The Kiel shipyard GERMAN NAVAL YARDS (GNYK) has challenged the decision of the Federal Ministry of Defence to award the MKS 180 multi-purpose combat ship to Damen. As announced by the company’s management on Monday, a formal complaint was sent to the responsible Federal Office for Equipment, Information Technology and Utilization of the German Armed Forces (BAAINBw) on 24 January 2020. The company would definitely file an application for review with the Federal Public Procurement Chamber if the BAAINBw does not uphold the complaint, it was further stated. If the Public Procurement Chamber does not grant the application for review, the company will next file an appeal with the Düsseldorf Higher Regional Court.

A few days ago, the Ministry of Defence announced that it wanted to award the largest contract in the history of the German Navy to the Dutch shipyard Damen. Dr. Roland M. Stein, the public procurement law expert entrusted by GNYK with the review proceedings, emphasized on Monday that the alleged reasons for the exclusion of his client could not be justified. “GERMAN NAVAL YARDS is to be excluded because the company is said to have failed to meet less than 0.15 percent of the requirements. We have thoroughly examined the alleged reasons – none justify an exclusion from the proceedings,” said Stein, who is a partner at the renowned Berlin law firm Blomstein.

He added: “We have also demanded the exclusion of the Dutch shipyard Damen from the procedure.” There were considerable and well-founded doubts as to whether Damen’s bid was in line with key aspects of the tender. This concerns issues such as the drive system, which are already being discussed in the press. In addition, according to Stein, many other aspects – some of which are even safety related – are problematic.

The decision of the Ministry of Defence was preceded by a complex tendering process lasting several years. The MKS 180 is the largest and, with a volume of more than five billion euros, the most expensive procurement project in the history of the German Navy. Initially, four ships of this type are to be built. The GNYK shipyard in Kiel was the last remaining German general contractor in this contract competition.

GNYK had already been illegally excluded by the Ministry of Defence when the contract to build the K 130 corvettes (2nd batch) for the German Navy was awarded in 2016. However, the shipyard successfully won a share in the 1.5 billion project in court. “The exclusion in the MKS 180 tender is, even if for other reasons, just as illegal as the K130 procedure at that time,” said attorney Stein on Monday.

Ada Aroma Korupsi, Galangan Kapal Kiel Gugat Damen Dalam Proyek Frigate AL Jerman!
Original 28 Jan. 2020 20:30​

Sumber : Naval News
Sudah sejak lama negara-negara Eropa dan AS terkenal dengan transparansi dalam berbagai macam proyek salah satunya adalah proyek pertahanan yang memang sangat berpotensi untuk dilakukan tindak pidana Korupsi. Salah satu negara Eropa yang sangat menjunjung tinggi transparansi adalah Jerman, seperti diberitakan oleh Naval News (27/1/2020) Galangan Kapal Kiel menggugat kemenangan galangan Kapal Belanda Damen terkait proyek Frigate masa depan AL Jerman MKS 180

Galangan kapal Kiel secara resmi mengajukan keberatannya ke Federal Office for Equipment, Information Technology and Utilization of the German Armed Forces (BAAINBw) pada tanggal 24 Januari 2020. Menurut Dr Roland Stein yang merupakan pengacara dari Galangan Kapal Kiel “klien kami sudah memenuhi persyaratan yang diminta oleh AB Jerman, tidak ada yang salah dari penawaran kami”

“kami juga menuntut pembatalan atas pemilihan Damen sebagai pemenang proyek MKS 180 karena ada keraguan besar terhadap aspek-aspek kunci yang diminta oleh AB Jerman salah satunya adalah sistem drive yang sudah dibahas di media-media nasional” Ungkap Dr Roland Stein

Sebagai informasi Mehrzweck Kampf Schiff/Multi Purpose Combat Ships 180 (MKS 180) adalah kapal perang masa depan AL Jerman buatan galangan Belanda Damen yang bekerja sama dengan galangan Jerman Blohm & Voss Hamburg. Kapal yang direncanakan sepanjang 155 meter dan bobot 9.000 ton ini diproyeksikan dapat melakukan berbagai macam tugas seperti tugas patroli maritime, evakuasi ketika menghadapi krisis internasional, misi pengawalan kapal dagang serta kapal komando NATO

MKS 180 adalah proyek terbesar sepanjang sejarah AL Jerman, dengan biaya sekitar 25 Milliar Euro AL Jerman akan mendapat empat unit kapal yang rencananya akan dijejali dengan berbagai macam sensor dan senjata kelas satu buatan Eropa/AS

apparently some germans individual within their defense department couldn't handle the DAMEN kickback offer too , lol .

Indonesian Navy Alugoro submarine progressing towards Sea Acceptance Tests

The Indonesian Navy (TNI AL) Nagapasa-class submarine "Alugoro" (pennant number 405) underwent the Nominal Diving Depth (NDD) stage in the North Waters of Bali Island, according to Indonesian state-owned shipbuilder PT PAL.
Nathan Gain 27 Jan 2020

The NDD is part of the Alugoro submarine 53 steps-long Sea Acceptance Test (SAT) program. The NDD stage was declared successful, the Alugoro submarine succeeded in diving to a depth of 250 meters. According to Satriyo Bintoro, PT PAL Head of the Submarine Division, the NDD stage is very important because « after the NDD stage was successfully implemented it can be concluded that 90% of the submarine construction process has been successful ».

SAT activities are carried out in the northern waters of Bali island, one of the Indonesian Navy training areas offering adequate sea depth. During the NDD test, the Alugoro submarine was escorted by KRI Raden Eddy Martadinata (331) guided-missile frigate.

After the Alugoro submarine completes various testing processes such as the Harbor Acceptance Test (HAT) and SAT, it is planned to be handed over to the country’s Ministry of Defense for use by the Indonesian Navy in December 2020.

The Alugoro is the third of the Nagapasa-class submarine (also known as the DSME 1400 design or Improved Chang Bogo-class) for the Indonesian Navy (TNI AL). The DSME 1400 project is an upgrade of the built-under-license Type 209/1200 with increased length (up to 61.2 m) and displacement (about 1,400 tons underwater).

The first submarine for Indonesia, Nagapasa (403), was launched by the DSME shipyard in Okpo on December 3, 2013. The submarine arrived in Indonesia on August 28, 2017. The second boat Ardadedali (404) was launched at the DSME facility in Okpo in 2014, launched on October 24, 2016 and transferred to the TNI AL on April 25, 2018, arriving in Indonesia in June 2018.

If Indonesia goes for F16 V then it's a deadly addition to its airforce.... I think they already operate F16 older models???

Sukhoi 35 if they are considering then my god what a force they will be to reckon with... Heavy flanker with best medium weight latest F16 ( with DNA of JSF)....

If they equip Flankers with brahmos then will Indonesia buy it from India or they will go to Russia?

Sukhois armed with brahmos will give Indonesia an ability to hit hard behind enemy lines...... Or I say they will be able to strike China mainland....

In a longer term, it is very likely for us to operate F35.

Yes, in other words, exactly what I said before. In line. In queue. We never know how long the line is. But not in this decade, at least until Singapore orders fulfilled.

Ok first of all. We can not spend AF budget for others (army or navy). So it is a big no no take money from Vipers budget to buy naval ships.
Second, su-35 contract already signed couple of years ago. No need another signing.
What needed is stop doing counter trade weapons with commodities especially if not ready to prepare what the other party wants. If they want A, prepare A and don't push them to accept X, Y or Z.
Then can move on and worry about caatsa.

If not Vipers then what other option AF has to replace Hawk fleet? KSAU mentioned about Vipers few times last year. Not JF-17, rafale, F-35 or others. He said it clear, Vipers.

About Jokowi, what he meant if you can buy it from local inhan, then buy local. Like subs. Doesn't mean you have to buy local fighters and if don't have it, don't buy at all.

MENKO POLHUKAM INGIN LENGKAPI ALUTSISTA, TERUTAMA KAPAL PERANG
29 JANUARI 2020 DIANEKO_LC TINGGALKAN KOMENTAR
Menko Polhukam Mahfud MD berbicara tentang upaya pemerintah dalam melengkapi alutsista. Mahfud mengatakan perlunya peningkatan alutsista untuk menjaga wilayah kedaulatan dan hak berdaulat di Indonesia.

“Alutsista di Surabaya (rapat terbatas), kita mencatat bahwa kita harus melengkapi alutsista untuk menjaga wilayah kedaulatan dan wilayah hak berdaulat, bahkan juga memagari,” Kata Mahfud di Kemenko Polhukam, Jalan Medan Merdeka Barat, Jakarta Pusat, Selasa (28/1/2020).

Dilansir dari laman Detik (28/ 1/ 2020), Mahfud pun menjelaskan tiga pembagian zona di wilayah perairan, yakni Brown Water, Green Water, dan Blue Water. Mahfud juga mengupayakan segera menyediakan kapal-kapal yang nantinya akan ditaruh di tepi zona Green Water.

“Jadi wilayah itu kalau dilihat dari laut itu ada Brown Water, itu wilayah kedaulatan. Ada Green Water, wilayah hak berdaulat Zona Ekonomi Eksklusif (ZEE). Lalu ada Blue Water, itu laut lepas. Kita akan mengusahakan segera menyediakan kapal di tepi Green Water,” jelasnya.

Mahfud belum dapat memastikan berapa jumlah kapal yang akan disediakan untuk menjaga tepi Green Water itu. Namun dia mengatakan pemerintah memutuskan memompa persenjataan milik sendiri.

“Ya nantilah itu sangat teknis (soal jumlah kapal). Pokoknya kita mengidentifikasi itu dan kita keputusan untuk memompa industri persenjataan sendiri,” pungkasnya.

Sebelumnya, Mahfud menghadiri rapat terbatas di PT PAL, Surabaya, Jawa Timur, pada Senin (27/1). Rapat dipimpin Presiden Joko Widodo.
