Indonesia looks to buy Boeing Chinooks in 2016
Jon Grevatt, Bangkok - IHS Jane's Defence Weekly
15 June 2015

The Indonesian Armed Forces (TNI) is seeking to ring-fence funds to procure Boeing CH-47 Chinook heavy-lift helicopters from 2016, TNI commander General Moeldoko has announced.

IHS Jane's understands that Indonesia requires four Chinooks to boost the limited heavy-lift rotary-wing capabilities of its land and marine forces. The TNI has maintained a requirement to purchase the platform for several years but ambitions have continually been constrained by budget.

However, in comments reported by local media on 15 June, General Moeldoko said the TNI is planning to submit a proposal to secure a budget for the Chinook acquisition from next year. He said the acquisition would cost approximately USD30 million per unit and that the Chinooks would be operated primarily in disaster-relief operations.

State-owned Indonesian aerospace company PT Dirgantara Indonesia (PTDI) has ordered two AS365 N3+ Dauphin helicopters and will customise the platforms for search-and-rescue (SAR) missions.

IHS Jane's understands that the airframes are destined for the Indonesian National Search and Rescue Agency, BASARNAS.

"Airbus Helicopters will deliver these twin-engine rotorcraft to PTDI within one year," the company said on 15 June. "These helicopters will be reassembled, tested, qualified, completed, and customised by PTDI with mission equipment including hoists, flotation systems, direction finder, an electronic optical system, and casualty evacuation devices."

IHS Jane's reported in February 2014 that PTDI and Airbus Helicopters have expanded their existing collaboration to include the maintenance, repair, and overhaul (MRO) of Airbus Helicopters platforms operated within Indonesia including the AS365 Dauphin, EC725 Cougar, and AS350/AS555 Fennec.

"We are very familiar with the Dauphin platform and are confident that with the installation of dedicated SAR equipment, we will offer the right solution to the Indonesian government for its SAR demands," said PTDI president director Budi Santoso during a signing ceremony for the two helicopters at the Paris Air Show 2015.

The Indonesian government currently operates five Dauphin helicopters, two of which are in service with BASARNAS. The rest of the airframes are in service with the Indonesian police.

Biryulin also stated that Russia had submitted tender documents to supply Su-35 aircraft to Indonesia.

“The necessary documentation to participate in the Su-35 tender was submitted in accordance with the procedure established by our Indonesian partners,” he said.

According to Biryulin, the Russian company Rosoboronexport OJSC is participating in the competition to supply new fighter jets to Indonesia.

“During preliminary negotiations, the parties agreed that the most appropriate fighter jet for the country is the Su-35. These aircraft are currently being flown by the Russian Air Force, and have racked up a good track record. In addition, the Indonesian Air Force already has experience in operating Sukhoi aircraft,” Biryulin noted.

Jet fighters, war boats ready to launch attack

Following maneuvers by Malaysian war boats and planes in Ambalat waters, Defence Minister Ryamizard Ryacudu says he is ready with the Operasi Perisai Sakti (Operation Invincible Shield).

He said that Malaysian forces were frequently illegally entering the Indonesian territorial waters located at the eastern coast of Kalimantan when the country was off guard.

“Now we have jet fighters ready in Makassar [South Sulawesi],” he told reporters on Thursday as quoted by tribunnews.com.

Ryamizard said the Indonesian Military (TNI) is currently running the operation, which involves five jet fighters and three war ships, to attack the Malaysian craft.

“If they enter [Indonesian territory] then we will attack. [TNI] knows how to guard [the country’s territory],” said the retired Army general who once served as Army chief of staff.

Indonesia to re-establish dedicated ASW aviation squadron

The Indonesian Navy (Tentara Nasional Indonesia - Angkatan Laut, TNI-AL) is reviving an anti-submarine warfare (ASW) aviation squadron that was last operational in the 1970s, the service's chief of staff, Admiral Ade Supandi, has said.

The formation, known as Skuadron Udara 100, will provide operational support for the TNI-AL's incoming batch of AS565 Panthers on order from Airbus Helicopters. The service is anticipating the delivery of 11 AS565s that will be fitted with the Helicopter Long-Range Active Sonar (HELRAS) dipping sonar and torpedo-launching system.

"We want to ensure that our combat capabilities are in line with the new platforms and weapon systems that we are receiving", said Adm Supandi in a report carried by state news agency Antara on 17 June. The admiral also emphasised the need for a dedicated squadron to operationalise naval aviation capabilities and doctrine that are specific to submarine prosecution.

A TNI-AL source told IHS Jane's on 19 June that plans to revive the squadron are under way but he was unable to give a timeline for its establishment. "The squadron will only be commissioned closer to the date of the first Panther's delivery", he said.

Skuadron Udara 100 will be based at the TNI-AL airbase in Juanda, Surabaya. The service is scheduled to receive all 11 Panther ASW helicopters by 2017 and will operate the aircraft primarily from the navy's SIGMA 10514-class guided-missile corvettes. The service also told IHS Jane's in October 2014 that it will equip its three Bung Tomo-class corvettes with the Panther.

British Envoy discusses several issues with President Jokowi
Jumat, 19 Juni 2015 19:16 WIB | 760 Views

Ambassador Moazzam Malik. (ANTARA/Wahyu Putro A.)
Jakarta (ANTARA News) - British Ambassador to Indonesia Moazzam Malik met President Joko Widodo (Jokowi) to discuss various issues, especially with regard to enhancing cooperation between the two countries.

"We spoke about the relations between the two countries and also about the ways we can improve them," Malik stated at the Presidential Palace complex here on Friday.

He reiterated that the meeting with President Jokowi was aimed to discuss ways to increase cooperation between the two countries.

"The two countries have established cooperation in different sectors such as education, business, economy, and investment," he said, adding that they also discussed other global issues.

However, he was tightlipped when questioned whether they discussed the fate of death row convict Lindsay Sandiford.

The Indonesian government is currently making preparations for the third phase of execution of the death row inmates.

Although the Attorney Generals Office has not yet announced the list of prisoners to be executed in the third phase, Sandiford claimed to have been ready to face death.

Nunukan, North Kalimantan (ANTARA News) - The government will protest frequent violation of borders by Malaysia in North Kalimantanm, senior minister said.

Coordinating Minister for Political Affairs, Security and Law Tedjo Edhy Purdjianto said Malaysian warships had often crossed the border into Indonesian territory in the district of Nunukan.

Malaysian aircraft has also often illegally entered the Indonesian air territory , Tedjo said here on Sunday.

He said he would discuss the matter with Foreign Minister Retno Marsudi to settle the issue with Malaysia through diplomacy.

The first step, however, is to intensify monitoring and tighten border guard in the sea, land and air borders by using aircraft with base camp in the Tarakan military airbase , North Kalimantan, he said.

Information from the Tarakan airbase said, Malaysian warships have been spotted nine times illegally entering Indonesian waters off Ambalat in the regency of Nunukan and they had to be warned before they turned back.

Tedjo said the provocative action had prompted the Indonesian government to beef up its sea and and air defense in the border areas.

"Indonesia will continue to strengthen its security defense in the border with Malaysia to protect the countrys sovereignty," he said.

Upon arrival here earlier Tedjo said Indonesia wants to discuss border disputes yet unsettled with Malaysia and is awaiting response from the neighboring country.

There are still disputes with both claiming sovereignty over five points such as Ambalat waters, Sebatik island and Kayu Mati island.

"The Indonesian government had done maximum efforts to settle the border disputes with Malaysia," he said.
