JK first order for Anoa is 150 units with value around 1,1 trillion Rupiah in 2007 and formalized in 2008, since then PINDAD starting to order more tools and production line for further order

I stand corrected then . You have to forgive me on that one . 12 year of journey there ..

Indonesian Navy chief downplays request to revive ageing vessels
by Ridzwan Rahmat

Resources to revive the ten ageing ships could be better deployed to improve the operational capabilities of vessels such as the Diponegoro-class corvettes, said Indonesia’s navy chief. (Janes/Ridzwan Rahmat)
The Indonesian Navy (Tentara Nasional Indonesia – Angkatan Laut: TNI-AL) chief, Admiral Yudo Margono, has written to the country’s defence minister to explain why it will not be possible to revive a number of naval vessels that have either retired, or are already in the process of being prepared for retirement.

The admiral was responding to a request by the minister, Prabowo Subianto, to either reverse or halt the decommissioning processes of 10 Indonesian Navy (Tentara Nasional Indonesia – Angkatan Laut: TNI-AL) warships that have, or are being prepared for decommissioning.

These vessels are namely the amphibious landing ships Teluk Penyu (513) KRI Teluk Mandar (514), KRI Teluk Sampit (515), the Kapitan Pattimura (Parchim I)-class missile corvette, Pati Unus (384), the troop transport ship KRI Nusanive (973), the oil tanker KRI Sorong (911), the mine countermeasures vessel KRI Pulau Rote (721), the Kupang-class landing craft, Nusa Utara (584), the coastal tanker KRI Balikpapan (901), and the non-commissioned training ship, KAL Kadet-1 .

Teluk Penyu , Pati Unus , and Nusa Utara are vessels that have been decommissioned over the past three years, while the rest have been taken out of operational service, and are in the process of being formally retired.

We don't have defense minister who can do proper planning for five years, neglecting his jobs so much and give much of the jobs for the current MoD. And now current MoD is racking his brain to do proper calculation for table of operation and maintenance and build new capability.

Indonesia detains two Filipino fishing boats

2 minutes ago



Minister of Marine Affairs and Fisheries, Edhy Prabowo has said foreign fishermen are using the ongoing pandemic as an opportunity to conduct illegal fishing activities in the Pacific Ocean.

Jakarta (ANTARA) - Two Filipino fishing boats, with 21 crew members on board, have been detained for poaching in the Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ) of Indonesia's fisheries management area (WPP) in the Pacific Ocean.

The boats were apprehended by officers of the Ministry of Marine Affairs and Fisheries (KKP).

“Today, we announce that we have arrested two ships in a place that we have never caught (illegal fishing vessels in) before: in WPP 717,” Minister of Marine Affairs and Fisheries, Edhy Prabowo, said during an online press conference here on Tuesday.

Officers from the KKP’s Directorate General of Marine Resources and Fisheries Supervision, onboard patrol boat Orca 4, spotted and detained the two boats after a chase, he informed.

Foreign fishermen are using the ongoing pandemic as an opportunity to conduct illegal fishing activities, he said.

"It is important for us to remain vigilant and to increase awareness," he added.

KKP officers remain enthusiastic in carrying out their duties to protect the national waters even in the midst of a pandemic, he remarked.

Knowing that the Sulawesi waters are tightly guarded, foreign poachers have moved to the Pacific Ocean, he said.

Meanwhile, KKP fleet monitoring and operations director Pung Nugroho Saksono stated that the two captured boats had clearly deceived the officers because they could not furnish any identity proof, as mandated by existing regulations.

Besides, they showed photocopied or fake documents belonging to other ships he added.

Saksono said that the foreign fishing boats had initially tried to escape, but the Indonesian authorities had chased and hunted them down. Their crew were finally arrested in waters off Ayu Islands.

Based on KKP data, since October, 2014, a total of 74 illegal vessels — 57 foreign fishing vessels (KIA) and 17 Indonesian fishing vessels (KII) — have been caught by the KKP Fisheries Supervisory Ship.

Of the 57 foreign fishing boats, 27 were Vietnam-flagged boats, 16 Philippine-flagged, 13 Malaysia-flagged, and 1 Taiwan-flagged boat.

INDONESIA: Jokowi Calls for Military Transformation

Posted by Asia Views | Oct 6, 2020 | 0 |





JakartaPost-Oct 6, 2020
President Joko “Jokowi” Widodo has called on the Indonesian Military (TNI) to become more modern and professional, urging the armed forces to adapt to new potential threats and technological advances. During a ceremony to commemorate the 75th anniversary of the TNI on Monday, Jokowi said the military transformation should be directed toward enabling the armed forces to respond to nonconventional and transnational threats, while keeping the pace with state-of-the-art armaments.

how much and how willing he is to splurge more funds toward pit called Defense Spending? In which bulk of those must be spent on acquisition of new platforms and modern weapon system in which we are severely lagging behind. To name a view we are lacking not only on modern type of weaponry but in number too for what we already had. Not to mention more funds must be spent for training and exercise especially with our friend abroad and at home. Education must be at

No towed array ??

It never been equipped with towed sonar.

In other word partial MLM . But , i guess that was too much to ask for anyway . Not to mention changing a major lay out ship design was beyond our technical capabilities as of now .

The original picture was taken when 359 first arrived in Indonesia

Royal Navy have been struggling to dispose their old nuclear submarines. They have more stored unused waiting for disposal (20 subs), than the active ones (11 subs).

They spent about £16 million just to maintain these old nuclear subs for 5 years. Disposal of the eventual total of 27 subs will cost at least £10.4bn over 25 years.

(OSD: Out of Service Date. This table is from 2018, so add 2 more yrs for the hull age.)

Expensive to buy, also expensive & difficult to dispose. We should be very really deeply truly ready (financially, technically, etc), before we decide to operate one.

Anyway, if we eventually decide to enter the nuclear sub era, just for the sake of early learning process on how to operate and maintain them, I'd be very tempted to ask the Brits if they'd be willing to give us one of their unused subs for free

Dealing with radioactive waste is troublesome, still lacking facility and storage to process it, where should we build it?
Some propose to use old mining tunnels to store radioactive waste from nuclear power plant if we decide to build one later.

Therefore the best location would be Kalimantan, earthquake and volcano-free, a lot of abandoned mines, plenty of sparse, isolated even uninhabited lands, and there's a decent amount of electricity demands due to the frequent power outtage

This design from MIT could be interesting choice for our need in the future. It's floating nuclear power plant (NPP).

It's basically offshore NPP which would be located at a minimum distance of 12 km from the coast. This NPP combines two established and proven technologies: the nuclear reactor and the offshore oil platform.

It would be placed on deep waters far from coastal populations, and would only be connected to land by an underwater energy transmission line.

By placing the platform on an area with a depth of at least 100 meters, the sea water absorbs the movements of the sea floor and protects the plant from earthquakes and tsunamis. The sea can also be an infinite source of cooling water in case of an emergency.

This offshore NPP will prevent the lack of coolant (water) which caused the NPP meltdowns like in Fukushima Japan and Three Mile Island in the US. The ocean's almost infinite heat sink of seawater would completely eliminate the possibility of nuclear fuel meltdowns

The design consists of a cylindrical platform. The smaller version is 45 meters wide and would produce 300 MW of electricity. An alternative, larger design could reach 1100 MW, with 75 meters of diameter.

In both cases, and in the same way as oil platforms, these sites include staff accommodation and a heliport for transport.

The site would be entirely built in a shipyard, and at the end of its operative life it would return to the shipyard for dismantling.

MIT’s research team believes that its future floating site has enough potential to generate positive change in the economy of nuclear power.

It has the economic advantage of “factory” production of multiple units, but each unit is big enough to benefit from economies of scale. Additionally, since it is mobile it can be transported wherever it is needed.

Anyway, the Russians also have their own version of floating NPP. I believe it's active since last year.
