Ma'am, is this O.K. for this thread. It technically relates to Indonesian politics, but it does touch on Japanese-Indo defense cooperation too. If this doesn't fit the theme of the thread, please let me know so I can tailor my posts. Thanks

Indonesia's president says China has no legal claim to South China Sea: newspaper

Indonesian President Joko Widodo says China's claims to the majority of the South China Sea have "no legal foundation in international law," Japan's Yomiuri newspaper reported.

The comments, in an interview published on Sunday ahead of visits to Japan and China this week, were the first time Widodo, who took office in October, has taken a position on the South China Sea dispute.

Indonesia, the largest country in Southeast Asia, has been a self-appointed broker in the myriad territorial disputes between its neighbors and China over the South China Sea.

"We need peace and stability in the Asia-Pacific region. It is important to have political and security stability to build up our economic growth," Widodo was quoted as saying in an English version of the interview published on Monday.

"So we support the Code of Conduct (of the South China Sea) and also dialogue between China and Japan, China and ASEAN."

Widodo also confirmed that he and Prime Minister Shinzo Abe, whom he meets later on Monday, would sign a defense cooperation agreement that would cover "how to work with" Japan's military, and "search and rescue operations, humanitarian assistance, and cyber defense", the Yomiuri reported.

Japan has already bolstered partnerships with the Philippines and Vietnam, the two countries most at odds with China over territorial rows in the South China Sea. Japan itself is embroiled in a bitter dispute with China over uninhabited islands in the East China Sea, further to the north.

Widodo also said he hoped to discuss maritime cooperation with Japan's coast guard "because Japan has good experience to manage its waters", the newspaper reported.

Widodo will visit China immediately after his stop in Japan. Indonesia and China have a more developed military relationship and Jakarta has bought Chinese-made missiles and other military hardware.

Finally somebody has the balls to speak up.

That Rafale is there to make Russia keep their promise on their TOT offering, so we have several options........

I will oppose such move if we really intend to buy it along with Su-35. Strategically thinking, this current 10 years until 2024, should be the time to improve our defense industry into a level that can match many western nation, along with so many research conducted at LAPAN, LIPI, BPPT etc

It is better to use the money to fund LAPAN to make military satellite than buying Rafale. Remote sensing technology being put on our indigenous satellite also can cover all of our areas, so we wont need too much MPA planes. Military satellite is also needed to maximize AWACS planes capabilities during war time. The fragile moment in this region in which our country should build up their military in huge way is at 2024 above, when USA is not as strong as before, and China becomes so huge. We cannot build up massive military hardware that dont hurt our economy and current account if we dont take our current research needs and demand seriously.

This baby needs some money too.....Some money in defense budget should be used for domestic research. It was done under SBY administration, and this strategy should be continued as well. Just dont get it of why this project should be stopped because of government budget in Lapan not enough to add another engineers. We have already had enough infrastructure for designing planes at LAPAN. The project can prepare transfer of technology from old engineer into younger ones, a generation that will likely take responsibility for IFX development beyond 2024 moment.

Otherwise, Rafale is much different from the rest as her can be used as several different roles with each of their roles can be done in a perfect way. She can be used as mini ELINT and SIGINT aircraft,and can be used as part of electronic warfare an area she is capable to match the Growler. She can be used as air interdiction roles, in which she is much in the league of F-15E, she is capable to perform interceptor roles in a way like the venerable F-5 and other light fighter as she is nimble and maneuverable. She is your omnirole Fighter Aircraft
