I dont know why AH is upset hearing the news ? Does he know that the facility to produce medium tank in PT Pindad will just be completed in 2023 or even 2024 ? If we order the tanks now, so the hull will be made in Turkey just like the first 8 tanks.

Our beloved Finance Minister statement

Maka itu untuk mendukung hal tersebut, menurut Sri Mulyani faktor-faktor sisi domestik masih diperlukan mengingat ekonomi global masih diliputi ketidakpastian. Sri Mulyani mengingatkan arahan presiden yang meminta kepada segenap kementerian dan lembaga pemerintah bisa merealisasi belanja pemerintah pada 2022 dengan fokus membeli produk-produk yang memiliki kandungan lokal tinggi.

With New Capital project, Election in 2024, higher cost of loan, Jokowi targets to leave the Palace with good records like reaching 6 percent economic growth and completing so many of his administration infrastructure projects and also down streaming projects ( EV battery value chain) and Pertamina refinery projects ( no more delay in paying Government debt to PT Pertamina) ect

It is very reasonable to use our foreign loan backed MRCA program around 1.2 billion USD (not yet enter green book in 2022 though) to upgrade and refurbish our 24 F 16 C/D plus buying many AMRAMMS and AIM 9 X, and also Mavericks Missile instead of buying new fighter jets. Some of the money left can be used to buy infrastructure for our 6 Rafale order, including many spare parts and ammunitions.

Remember we have KF21 program going on...........

Indonesia Summons Ukrainian Envoy over Russia Tweet​

BY :THE JAKARTA GLOBE
AUGUST 11, 2022

Jakarta. The Indonesian Foreign Affairs Ministry has summoned the Ukrainian Ambassador in Jakarta to express “displeasure” after the latter allegedly criticized Jakarta for lack of condemnation to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, a spokesman said on Friday.

Ambassador Vasyl Hamianin was asked to clarify his social media post in which he implied that Indonesia’s stance towards Russia isn’t as harsh as the one towards Israel.

His particular tweet was a response to the ministry’s post last weekend that reads: “Indonesia strongly condemns the attacks carried out by Israel in Gaza which resulted in civilian casualties, including children.”

To which Hamianin replied: “How about strong condemnation of brutal attacks on Ukraine during the last 5 months? And deaths of hundreds if not thousands of children, including Muslim kids?”

Foreign Affairs Ministry spokesman Teuku Faizasyah said Hamianin was received by Ngurah Swajaya, the director general for American and European affairs, who expressed “displeasure and resentment” at the tweet that questions Indonesia’s foreign policies.

"His social media post is bot unacceptable and hurtful to the Indonesian people who consider Ukrainians as friends," Teuku told Detikcom news website.

He added that the envoy has been warned against repeating his action.

On August 5, Hamianin also criticized the Indonesian Foreign Affairs Ministry for taking part in the meeting between Russia and Southeast Asia’s regional grouping ASEAN which took place in Phnom Penh a day earlier.

Shortly after the meeting, Foreign Minister Retno Marsudi released a statement describing Russia as a long-time partner of ASEAN and expressing Indonesia’s hope that the partnership between the regional bloc and Russia “will bring peace and prosperity in accordance with the UN Charter, the ASEAN Charter, and the principles of the international law”.

“It was a surprise to read the statement by @Kemlu_RI [Indonesian Foreign Affairs Ministry] on Russia-ASEAN meeting. May I ask what Moscow regime has in common with ‘peace and prosperity’? Is it not Russia that violated all imaginable international rules, principles and UN Charter? Russia is a TERRORIST STATE,” he wrote.

Indonesia is among the first countries around the globe that quickly condemned Russia’s invasion of Ukraine in late February.

President Joko Widodo has traveled to Kyiv and Moscow and held talks with Volodymyr Zelensky and Vladimir Putin to offer peaceful resolutions and convince both that the ongoing war causes food and energy crises around the globe.

Minister of defense gets 131.9 trillion Rupiah (8.9 billion USD) for 2023 budget. This number is already fixed for 2023 government spending budget. This is around 0.7 % of Indonesian GDP (2023 GDP projection). The number is a decrease from 2022 budget at 133.9 trillion Rupiah (9 billion USD).

Breakdown of Defense spending in 2023. PLN means Foreign Loan. PDN means Domestic loan usually intended to finance local defense products.

Around 9 trillion Rupiah (609 million USD) from foreign loan. The RMP (down payment) is 5.2 trillion Rupiah. PDN is 3.1 trillion Rupiah. Total spending will be 17,5 trillion Rupiah (1.18 billion USD) in 2023. This is pretty small compared to 2021 and 2022 defense spending.

Actually some of foreign loan could also be intended for CN 235 order as Indonesian Aerospace has a deal with European financing company to finance CN 235 order. Previously defense minister has a plan to order around 10 CN 235 planes in 2023.

PSP released in 2021 is 5.8 billion USD

Rafale order ( 6 F3R version)+ some infrastructure= 1.1 billion USD
T50 Golden Eagle (6 planes) = 240 million USD
2 A400 M tankers = 700 million USD
AH140 Frigates ( 2 vessels ) = 700-800 million USD
Super Hercules ( 5 planes) = 800 million USD

Total = 3.6 billion USD ( This will be passed according to my opinion )

---------------------------------------- +

Domestic order

13 GCI radar ( PT LEN Industry ) = 1.1 billion USD (This will likely be passed as well)

Total = 4.7 billion USD

https://twitter.com/x/status/1559494132854190080

For 2022 defense acquisition spending is 2 billion USD. From that figure, around 1.1 billion USD is to spend for 6 Rafale planes being ordered in February 2022. Not yet disbursed until now for Rafale RMP (down payment), maybe later end of 2022.
