News summary (translated from Chinese) :-
On the morning of May 18, local time, the Indonesian Navy and Chinese Navy held a joint press conference in Bali with a formation of life-saving ships to assist Indonesia, and Shenzhen Satellite TV News was the only Chinese media to attend. As of the same day, the Chinese side completed the first phase of the survey mission and achieved phased results.
A 3.7-kilometer-long and 2.5-kilometer-wide survey and salvage zone has been set around the wreckage, while the wrecked submarine has broken into three parts: Bow Section, Sail Section and Stern Section, and is sitting near a 38-meter-diameter undersea volcano crater.
So far, "Discovery 2" (Tan Suo 2) equipped with the "deep sea warrior" submersible carried out a total of 13 underwater operations, basically find out the wreckage of the wrecked submarine underwater status, collected a large number of pictures and video materials, successfully salvaged light components such as life rafts and other items, and timely handed over to the Indonesian side.
Shenzhen SATELLITE TV reporters noted that the Indonesian military at the press conference site showed some of the submarine debris, including radar warning receiver antenna, hydrophone array components, technical manuals on board the boat and life jackets of the crew.

This is good news indeed.. salvaging the whole submarine is unlikely (and unnecessary) but hopefully we can successfully retrieve the most important parts that can help with the investigation... Chinese assistance in this effort is very much appreciated...

new gun from russia , w/o barrel and ready to install for KCR -60
i think, we are their first customer in SE
Russia’ design institute Burevestnik (a subsidiary of Rostec’s concern Uralvagonzavod) has developed a marinised variant of its new AU-220M (M for Upgraded, Modernizirovannaya) heavy remotely operated weapon station (ROWS). A scale model of the ROWS was unveiled at Defexpo 2020.
According to Burevestnik, the station is designed for small surface combatant vessels with a displacement of no less than 150 tonnes. The ROWS is proposed to be installed in a deck bow-mounted superstructure, which is closed in the cruising mode. Once the gun is ordered to fire, the sides of the triangular-shaped superstructure unfold. The station’s sensor suite is located in the rear part of the turret.
The baseline marinised AU-220M is armed with a 57 mm automatic gun with a rate of fire of 100-120 rounds per minute. The gun is coupled to an ammunition magazine hosting up to 148 rounds. The station’s maximum firing range reaches 14.5 km. The main gun has an elevation angle between -7° and +85°, while the gun mount provides a -160° – +160° azimuth angle.
The module itself weighs 5 tonnes; the weight of the mount with additional ammunition is some 3.5 tonnes.
Owing to the capability of firing rounds of legacy and existing 57 mm artillery systems, the AU-220M has high cost-effectiveness ratio.
Russia’s Rosoboronexport (a subsidiary of Rostec) arms exporting company has already introduced to the global market a variant of the AU-220M ROWS for ground combat platforms.
So this project is actually still ongoing...? Good I guess...

Allison announces involvement in Indonesia's Harimau project
by Jon Grevatt
US company Allison Transmission has confirmed its inclusion in the Indonesian programme to build the Harimau medium tank for the Indonesian Armed Forces (TNI).
Allison Transmission said on 18 May that it has recently collaborated with other key contractors on the Harimau programme to integrate its “cross-drive transmission technology” onto the 30-tonne tank.
Allison has said it is supplying its transmission technologies for Indonesia’s Harimau medium tank programme. (FNSS)
The transmission, it said, provides propulsion, steering and braking capabilities and is manufactured under licence by Caterpillar Defense in the United Kingdom.
“Most recently Allison Transmission has collaborated with Caterpillar Defense, [Turkish firm] FNSS, and [Indonesia’s] PT Pindad to provide a new medium tank to the Indonesian Armed Forces known as the Harimau,” said a press release.
This co-operation follows an agreement between PT Pindad and FNSS – a joint venture between Turkey’s Nurol Holding and BAE Systems – in February 2019 to start production of an initial 18 tanks. Some of these tanks are expected to be built in Turkey, with the remainder by PT Pindad at its facilities in Bandung.
The tank is powered by an unregulated Caterpillar C13 diesel engine and its armament is provided by a John Cockerill Defence C3105 two-man turret, carrying a Cockerill 105 high-pressure (HP) gun.

Japan Offers to Jointly Build Warship with Indonesia
If the project materializes, it would strengthen Indonesia’s ability to deter Chinese intimidation in the South China Sea, and reinforce Japan’s cooperation with ASEAN.

December 2020 launch of Japan's new 'FFM' type frigate, JS Kumano
The Japanese government hopes to enter into a contract with Indonesia for joint manufacturing of maritime vessels based on the design of a Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force (MSDF) destroyer, it was learned on May 11.
Under Japan’s 2014 “Three Principles on Transfer of Defense Equipment and Technology,” the transfer of defense-related equipment for purposes such as surveillance and rescue operations is permitted, but the transfer of vessels such as frigates, which have lethal potential, is not.
However, joint production provides a legitimate path for assisting Indonesia with its needs for maritime monitoring vessels. The envisioned Japan-Indonesia joint production of a destroyer, if materialized, would be the first of its kind.
Japan, Italy, and Turkey are competing for defense-related vessel contracts with Jakarta.
Indonesia, a major power of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN), has also been exposed to intimidation from China in the South China Sea. If Japan is successful in winning the joint manufacturing contract, it would expedite the strengthening cooperation with Indonesia and help hold China in check.
The prototype for the joint production proposal is the latest model of MSDF multi-mission frigate (FFM), currently scheduled to be commissioned in March 2022. In addition to anti-submarine, anti-aircraft, and naval battle abilities, this model also has anti-mine capabilities.
There are five categories of activity for which the transfer of defense equipment and technology is allowed under the three-point principles of 2014: rescue and relief; transportation, patrol, surveillance; and minesweeping.
Japan’s first-ever export of “finished defense products” was a package of air-defense radar units for patrol and surveillance, under an August 2020 contract with the Philippines. Maritime vessels for transportation, rescue, and relief can also be exported, but vessels with naval artillery aboard would not be allowed under the three-point principles.

Bearing these constraints in mind, the Japanese government has determined that relocation of a frigate after it is built would be permissible if its construction is carried out as a joint development or joint production project. Adoption of a joint production formula based on the existing MSDF frigate is considered preferable, according to government sources, since joint development of a frigate is sure to take time before completion. It also has the advantage of further deepening bilateral cooperation through technology transfers and related collaborative activities, the sources said.
Indonesia’s Natuna Islands at the southern tip of the South China Sea, and part of the Indonesian exclusive economic zone (EEZ), are overlapped by China’s unilateral “nine-dash line” that covers expansive claims in the area but which the Permanent Court of Arbitration in the Hague ruled had “no legal basis.”
In December 2019, the Indonesian authorities confirmed that their patrol vessels had found a flotilla of Chinese fishing boats escorted by a government vessel belonging to the China Coast Guard engaged in illegal fishing operations inside the Indonesian EEZ. Since then, Indonesia has been deploying its naval vessels in the region, but it is anxious to obtain new naval vessels as early as possible.

Latest statement from Mindef Prabowo : 40 % of defense equipment acquisition must come from local defense industries
While that last paragraph on the report is old news and planning ministry only approve 1.6 billion USD for fighter acquisition until 2024 (MoF in the other hand, look like, hasnt given the green light yet).

I think during Jokowi first term, almost 60 % defense equipment acquisition already comes from local industry, this is why many people cannot see "catchy" weapon during Jokowi first term while actually he is helping our defense industry to grow (although he should have paid KFX/IFX payments instead of delaying it)

This is not surprising and the budget itselves has already been revealed early this year and we should have known already from the amount of money being put as Down Payment for the foreign loan.
It is 80 % sure that it will likely be another Changbogo second batch and President advisor have already stated the important of KFX/IFX and Changbogo second batch program. Both are related to enhancing our local defense industry and strategic relation with South Korea.

Terma Radar Selected for Indonesian Navy Hospital Assistance Ships
Terma was recently awarded a contract to supply a SCANTER 6002 radar for the latest Indonesian Navy’s Hospital Assistance Ship (BRS). The radar delivery is planned for June 2021. The award follows a previous contract signed in 2019 to supply a similar radar for the BRS “Wahidin Soedirohusodo”, delivered in January 2021.
Jakarta, May 27 2021 - Hospital ships are vessels designed to act as floating medical treatment facilities for humanitarian missions or for use in war zones. Under the new contract, Terma will deliver the radar in June 2021 to support the latest Indonesian Navy Hospital Assistance Ship (BRS).
The Indonesian Navy’s BRS built in Surabaya by the Indonesian state-owned shipyard PT PAL is 124 meters long, 21.8 meters wide, and able to host more than 600 people including crew, troops, and patients. According to PT PAL, the BRS can accommodate medical personnel to carry-out operational missions equivalent to those of a regular hospital. The BRS will be fitted with polyclinic facilities, emergency rooms, a radiology unit, and more.
Indonesia being prone to natural disasters such as earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, and tsunamis, assets such as the Hospital Ships are paramount to promptly ensure rescue and evacuation missions when needed. For this specific capability, each Hospital Ship is equipped with two helicopter landing spots, ensuring that the personnel, as well as the patients, can be readily and safely moved to and from the vessel.
The SCANTER 6002 is a surveillance radar with unparalleled helicopter landing control capabilities, which perfectly suits the missions carried out by the Hospital Ships.
Throughout the years, Terma has supplied numerous mission critical solutions in Indonesia, for all theatres of operations (air, land and sea). The main customers include the Indonesian Navy and Air Force, the Indonesian Coast Guards (Bakamla) and Sea and Coast Guard (KPLP), the Directorate General of Sea Transportation (DGST), and Jakarta Soekarno–Hatta International Airport.
In January 2019, Terma was awarded a major contract for the supply of complete C-Series Combat suites for four KCR-60 Fast Attack Craft also including SCANTER surveillance radars.
“Indonesia is a very important market for the development of Terma in the region and beyond” said Anupam Narain Mathur, VP & GM Terma Asia Pacific. “Through strong partnerships and close collaboration, Terma aims at supporting Indonesia to improve its capability in developing and maintaining mission critical systems, ensuring self-reliance and in the end human safety”.
In Asia Pacific alone, more than 500 SCANTER radars are in operation on land and at sea to support missions such as coastal surveillance, vessel traffic management, and airport surface movement and naval surveillance. Globally, Terma has delivered more than 3,000 SCANTER radars.
