The Indonesian Ministry of Defense (MOD) has begun a search for foreign lenders to fund the acquisition of six additional T-50i Golden Eagle airframes for its lead-in fighter trainer (LIFT) programme.

An approval to obtain the foreign loan was approved by the country's finance ministry, after consulting with the Indonesian MOD and the Ministry of National Development Planning (Kementerian Perencanaan Pembangunan Nasional: BAPPENAS).

A document provided to Janes by an industry source indicates that a limit of USD240 million has been set for this foreign loan allocation.

Korea Aerospace Industries (KAI) disclosed in a financial regulatory filing on 16 July that it has secured a “contract” to supply the Indonesian Air Force (Tentara Nasional Indonesia – Angkatan Udara: TNI-AU) with the aircraft type.

The aircraft are meant to be deployed as intermediate jet trainers for cadet pilots transitioning from airscrew-propelled aircraft to type certification training for fighters.

However, Janes has since verified with the Indonesian MOD that the contract mentioned is preamble in nature and will only be in force once the initial payment is secured.

Additionally, Janes understands from a separate source at the MOD that this initial payment will be obtained via an allocation from Indonesia's 2022 defence budget, and it will be made out to KAI by the end of 2021. The remainder of the contract amount will be funded with proceeds from the foreign loan that is still being sourced.

by Ridzwan Rahmat & Andrew MacDonald

The Indonesian Ministry of Finance (MoF) has granted approval for the country's armed forces (Tentara Nasional Indonesia: TNI) and defence ministry to obtain up to USD5.8 billion in foreign loans for the 2021 financial year.

Permissions to source for foreign loans have been approved for a total of 31 procurement, upgrades, and maintenance programmes across all three services of the TNI, according to documents and circulars that have been provided to Janes by Indonesian government sources.

The approvals have been granted after consultations with the Ministry of Defence (MoD) and the Ministry of National Development Planning (Kementerian Perencanaan Pembangunan Nasional: BAPPENAS).

Indonesian defence budget from 2018-25 (Janes)
The amount approved for 2021 represents an increase of almost 550% when compared to the USD894 million in foreign defence loans approved for six programmes 2019. In further comparison, the Indonesian MoF approved USD2.4 billion and USD4.4 billion in foreign credit for 2016 and 2017 respectively. There were no foreign defence loans approved in 2018 and 2020.

Among programmes that can now funded with proceeds from foreign loans include the R-73 (AA-11 ‘Archer') infrared homing dogfight missile, for which a total of USD15.7 million has been approved, and the Vympel R-27 (AA-10 ‘Alamo') air-to-air missile, which can be funded for up to USD36 million in foreign defence credits.

In addition, the MoD has also obtained approval to source up to USD750 million in loans for ground-controlled interception radar systems and up to USD540 million for medium-range missiles, launchers, and its associated systems.

These programmes are in addition to those reported by Janes.

This was sort of inspired by the Raid redemption the best action movie of all times

The raid talks about police unit which specialize in anti terror mission from Brimob (Indonesian police Para military Force).

The Raid mimic Gegana unit ( anti terror unit within Brimob) who uses black uniform during their actions. Gegana unit currently has around 1000 troops.

So more revelation suggest that the talk on F 16 is currently going on. Mindef already got 1.2 billion USD foreign loan approval from FM for MRCA program (2020-2024), a bid slash from 1.6 billion USD foreign loan approval from Planning Minister.

The best choice for that budget is of course F 16 block 72, this is because the priority is to fill fighters for previous F 5 Tiger squadron and the squadron is in Iswahyudi base where there are already F 16 squadron there and all the necessary infrastructure for F 16. Adding another type of fighter will also complicate logistic, maintenance, training and operation, not to mention F 16 block 72 is cheaper than Rafale and as single engine plane, operational and maintenance cost is much less. LM has also proven to give meaningful TOT during F 16 A/B refurbished and upgraded program and just recently visited PT Nusantara Turbin dan Propulsi that suggest PT NTP could become the maintenance provider of the engine as well.

Getting additional 6-8 T/A 50i Golden Eagle and around 8-12 F 16 Block 72 is already a huge improvement compared to previous Jokowi term.
