I appreciate your concern over our Air Force condition, but as I said before, most of national budget goes for infrastructure. I want and urge the government to purchase hundreds of pure jet fighters, but they don't see it as an urgent matter. Instead, they started to flex many anti-air mobile brigades to counter any attack from skies and navy. Our air force, although it is not as strong as China or India, it is considered enough to counter any air force in the region.

Than do something about it Sir you really need to do that get support of pressure groups and other things

Yeah, but no one cares about the air force this month, the hottest issue for this week has been the Fuel Prices.

In the coming weeks, subsidized gasoline prices will rise 44 percent, from 4,500 rupiah (US$ 0.45), or 45 cents, a liter, or 0.26 gallon, to 6,500 rupiah (US$ 0.66) to help close a widening budget deficit. The revised budget also includes around 9 trillion rupiah for a cash compensation program for poor Indonesian families to cushion the blow from the subsidy decision and a resulting increase in inflation, as was done when gasoline prices were raised in 2008.

Amid heavy rain, protesters including members of labor groups — the Jakarta police estimated as many as 4,000 — staged rallies and burned tires Monday outside the national legislative complex in south Jakarta to voice opposition to any price increases. The police said they had deployed nearly 20,000 officers to maintain order, given violent protests that had erupted during past fuel price debates.

Here's more news. Now just shut up & wait for more planes to come.

Indonesia Building Fleet of Flanker Fighters

This March, Anatoly Isaikin, director general at Rosoboronexport, announced that Indonesia had placed a follow-on order for six more Sukhoi Su-30MK2 twin-seat multi-role fighters. The deal also includes an unspecified number of Saturn AL-31F engines and other equipment needed to keep the growing Indonesian Flanker fleet intact. To facilitate further sales to Jakarta, the Kremlin-controlled VEB Bank provided the Indonesian finance ministry with an export credit facility worth $399.5 million for a seven-year term.

Following the delivery of new aircraft in February, the Indonesian air force’s current Sukhoi fleet comprises 12 aircraft: two Su-27SKs, three Su-27SKMs, two Su-30MKs and five Su-30MK2s. Four more Su-30MK2s are expected by year-end. Sjafrie Sjamsoeddin, deputy defense minister, was quoted as saying Indonesia plans to have a full squadron of 16 Sukhoi Su-27/30 fighters by the end of this year. Earlier, his colleagues voiced Jakarta’s ultimate intent to form 10 Sukhoi fighter squadrons comprising 180 aircraft within the next 15 to 20 years.

Victor Komardin, Rosoboronexport deputy director general, told the media at LIMA 2013 that Indonesian officials have asked Russia to create a joint center for repair and maintenance of Sukhoi fighters, and Mil Mi-17 and Mi-35 helicopters in Indonesia. He believes the agreement could be signed before the planned rotation of the armed forces chiefs in the second half of the year. After the rotation, Russian salesmen expect resumption of negotiations on follow-on orders for the Su-30MK2, and even more advanced Su-35s, as well as other weapons on the Indonesian wish list.

I have a question, dude. Is that PTDI project base on Korea KFX project (I remember Indonesia and S.Korea joint developing KFX ), or Indonesia domestic 4gen fighter project? And plan to using what jet engines ? Ths.

KFX/IFX is a joint project between Indonesia and S. Korea. However, each department (PTDI and KAI) has its own design. KAI prefers a jet with canard to improve its maneuverability while Indonesia prefers F-22 design to improve its range.

So basically there are two designs,

the C100 which basically designed to meet Indonesia's requirements is designed to work with General Electric F414 or EJ 200 engines.

Too bad this forum don't have any Korean member to be asked about this KFX project

Indonesia will Receive T-50 Golden Eagle Start in September 2013

Indonesia gears up for T-50

Indonesia will receive its full complement of 16 Korea Aerospace Industries T-50 Golden Eagle advanced jet trainer aircraft between September 2013 and February 2014.

The disclosure was made by a company spokesman at the company's chalet.

Jakarta ordered 16 T-50s in May 2011, marking the first export sale for the type, which is powered by a single General Electric F404 engine.

Indonesian pilots and maintenance crews are in South Korea familiarising themselves with the type.

In addition, KAI is confident of closing a deal with the Manila for 12 FA-50s, an armed variant of the T-50. Manila will use the type both for training and as a light fighter/attack aircraft.

The company, in co-operation with Lockheed Martin, is also competing against the Alenia/Aermacchi M-346 and BAE Systems Hawk for an eight aircraft requirement in Poland.

Warsaw is reviewing the technical proposals issued by the three companies, and will issue another request for proposals for pricing information in the coming months. A decision could come as soon as early 2014.
