Indonesia-Russia military ties going strong
August 19, 2013 Elena Domashneva, special to RBTH Asia Pacific
Russia and Indonesia share a long history of military and technical cooperation. Russia has delivered 12 Sukhoi fighters to Indonesia since 2003; a further four deliveries are pending.

Source: Reuters

The USSR began selling arms to Indonesia almost immediately after the two countries established diplomatic relations in 1950. In those early years, Indonesian naval and air force personnel were sent to study in the Soviet Union. However, the relations soured in the mid-1960s for political reasons.

The parties attempted to resume contacts in the early 1990s, but a number of factors prevented them from re-establishing close contacts until the 2000s.

For example, talks had been on about deliveries of Russian Sukhoi Su-30 fighters to Indonesia since 1997, but the first examples of the type were not delivered until 2003.

Russian and US presence in Indonesia

The resumption of Russian-Indonesian military contacts was largely facilitated by a split between Indonesia and the USA.

Washington had been running a protracted embargo on arms sales to Jakarta, accusing Indonesia of human rights violations in East Timor.

The full ban on arms sales, including spares, was on from 1999 to 2005.

The USA has since repaired ties with Indonesia, but Jakarta now knows better than to put all its eggs in one basket. Indonesia is diversifying its arms imports, looking both to the USA and Russia.

In 2011, the USA agreed to deliver 24 used Lockheed Martin F-16 C/D Block 25 fighter jets to Indonesia, free of charge.

In late 2012, the countries launches talks over deliveries of Sikorsky UH-60 Black Hawk utility helicopters and Boeing AH-64D Apache attack helicopters.

This pragmatic approach allows Jakarta to safeguard its imports, while maintaining neutrality in the gunpowder keg of a regional environment.

Russian arms sales to Indonesia

Russia has delivered 12 Sukhoi fighters to Indonesia since 2003; a further four deliveries are pending.

Moscow has also sold Jakarta Mil Mi-35 and Mi-17 helicopters, BMP-3F infantry fighting vehicles, BTR-80A armoured personnel carriers, and AK-102 assault rifles.

An intergovernmental commission for military technical cooperation was set up in 2005; in 2007, Moscow extended a $1 billion credit line to Jakarta for purchasing various Russian military hardware.

Over the past several years, military cooperation between Russia and Indonesia has expanded beyond arms trade.

In 2011, the Russian and Indonesian navies practiced anti-piracy counteraction in their first ever joint exercise.

Russia and Indonesia also continue multilateral cooperation in the ASEAN format. In July 2004, Russia and ASEAN signed a declaration on joint counteraction to terrorism.

The ASEAN Defence Ministers’ Meeting Plus Counterterrorism Exercise will be held in Indonesia on 9-13 September.

ASEAN and Russia also hold annual meetings and work group sessions on maritime security, humanitarian assistance and disaster relief, military medicine, peacekeeping operations, and humanitarian mine action.

Cooperation potential

At the Indo Defence Expo & Forum held in Indonesia in 2012, Defence Minister Purnomo Yusgiantoro invited Russia to get directly involved in developing the Indonesian Armed Forces.

This proposal opens further opportunities for cooperation. Moscow has already offered Jakarta to help develop its air defences.

At present, the Indonesian air defence troops have only short-range surface-to-air missile (SAM) systems.

Viktor Komardin, deputy head of Russia's state-run arms exporter Rosoboronexport, says Moscow can both sell individual SAM systems to Jakarta and help it set up a comprehensive air defence network.

Says Edy Prasetyono, vice dean at the faculty of social and political sciences at University of Indonesia: "Indonesian-Russian military cooperation has not made any significant progress not only in military sale, but also in other areas of military cooperation such as military exercise, training, and education. There are a lot of areas that the countries can develop further: anti-terror measures, disaster relief operation, and personal exchange. Both Embassies in each capital need to have more intensive interactions to identify common interests and formulate operational policy of how to achieve them".

"Indonesia now has a defence industry bill by which development of the defence industry will be conducted through international cooperation. Thus, there is a room for Russia to cooperate with Indonesia especially in developing particular weapon platforms. The two countries need to negotiate on this particular area," he adds.

Indonesia and China are in talks about the technology transfer mechanism for C-705 missiles

Tue, August 20 2013 22:22 | 311 Views
Indonesia and China are in talks about the technology transfer mechanism for C-705 missiles that will be used by the Indonesian navy.

Director General of Security Potentials at the Indonesian Ministry of Defense Pos Hutabarat told ANTARA News here on Tuesday that both countries need to have their individual legal requirements on technology transfer fulfilled.

Speaking after attending the second meeting on Indonesia-China defense industry cooperation, he stated that Indonesia`s Law Number 16/2012 on defense industry covers technology transfer, trading, and purchase of license for medium- and high-technology weapons.

"However, China`s regulations on technology transfer are based on intellectual property rights, which require us to pay a special fee for transferring technology from that country. The two countries have yet to reach an agreement in this area," Hutabarat noted.

Defense ties between the two countries have strengthened since the signing of the memorandum of understanding between the Indonesian Ministry of Defense and the State Administration of Science, Technology, and Industry for National Defense of the People`s Republic of China (SASTIND) on March 22, 2011, in Jakarta.

Besides, a meeting on defense industry cooperation (DICM) was held in Jakarta on July 24-25, 2012, which was followed by a meeting in Beijing on August 19-20 this year.

These meetings have paved the way for increased defense cooperation between Indonesia and China, including the signing of the Letter of Intent for the joint manufacturing of C-705 anti-ship missiles between the Indonesian Ministry of Defense and SASTIND.

The manufacturing process for C-705 missiles will involve four stages.

"We have yet to agree on the stage at which the transfer of technology will be done. However, the two sides have agreed that a technology transfer process must be put in place immediately," Pos said.

RI military delegation visits Boeing production center in Arizona
The Jakarta Post, Jakarta | National |

A delegation of top Indonesian Defense Ministry and Army officers visited the Boeing rotorcraft facility in Mesa, Arizona, recently to view the AH-64E Apache combat helicopter.

Several of the visitors, including Lt. Gen. Budiman, the secretary general for the Defense Ministry, and Gen. Moeldoko, chief of the Indonesian Army, flew the newest version of the Apache, which is in production at the Arizona rotorcraft facility. About 14 Indonesian Army officers were present.

Indonesia has expressed interest in buying at least eight AH-64E Apaches from the U.S. Army through a Foreign Military Sales agreement. Indonesia has submitted a Letter of Acceptance Request and has received approval from the U.S. government to purchase the AH-64E.

“The Apache is expected to be a key part of Indonesia’s continuing efforts to improve its strategic defense capabilities,” a Boeing business development manager, Dave Brostrom, said in an official release.

“Boeing is honored to be considered as part of Indonesia’s defense modernization efforts.”

The delegation was hosted by senior Boeing Apache leaders, including Dave Koopersmith, vice president of Attack Helicopter Programs; Dave Palm, director of Business Development for Vertical Lift and Mike Burke, director of Business Development for Attack Helicopters. The group toured the Apache production line and met with U.S. Army program officials.

Brostrom noted that the Indonesians also have expressed interest in the CH-47F Chinook, which is produced in Ridley Township, Pa.

The timeframe for a decision on the Apache request has not been announced.

A unit of The Boeing Company, Boeing Defense, Space & Security is one of the world's largest defense, space and security businesses specializing in innovative and capabilities-driven customer solutions, and the world’s largest and most versatile manufacturer of military aircraft.

Based in St. Louis, Boeing Defense, Space & Security is a US$33 billion business with 59,000 employees worldwide.

Moeldoko wants wider military role
Margareth S. Aritonang, The Jakarta Post, Jakarta | Headlines | Thu, August 22 2013, 10:35 AM

(JP/Wendra Ajistyatama)


Army chief of staff Gen. Moeldoko, the sole candidate for the top post at the Indonesian Military (TNI), said on Wednesday that Indonesia should revisit the concept of national defense with the emergence of new security threats from non-state actors, including terrorism and communal conflicts.

Speaking to members of the House of Representatives (DPR) Commission I on defense, Moeldoko, who was required to undergo a fit-and-proper test at the House, argued that a review was needed as there were possible security threats in the “grey areas” that were subject to military operations other
than war.

“The TNI is concerned about the possible occurrence of asymmetric warfare due to the archipelagic nature of the country — which makes it prone to infiltration —, democratization, the pluralistic nature of [our] society and globalization, which has had a multi-dimensional impact on the country,” he said. “The TNI must be ready for asymmetric wars which have unusual, unexpected or irregular characteristics.”

The country has faced social conflicts, ranging from religious to agrarian disputes in the years following the downfall of Soeharto in 1998. With the 2014 elections approaching, many analysts have predicted that social conflicts in the country could escalate.

The government has consequently proposed a number of items of security-related legislation, including the national security bill, which allows for the deployment of the military to deal with riots.

However, the legislation has been strongly opposed by human rights activists, who claim that it could lead to rights abuses.

Under the 2012 Law on Social Conflict Management, the TNI can be involved in resolving social conflicts, but they can only act under the command of the police.

When asked about his strategy to improve discipline among soldiers, Moeldoko said that the key was training.

“We have a program to humanize soldiers so that they will not easily lose their temper when dealing with incidents that might provoke them. We will also strengthen subordinate commanders to ensure soldiers follow instructions in the field,” he said.

The TNI was severely criticized recently following a series of incidents, including the shooting of four detainees at a prison in Yogyakarta by members of the Army’s Special Forces.

Moeldoko proposed an increase in the budget allocation for soldiers’ remuneration, which he said was still far from reasonable as only 37 percent of the annual state budget allocated to the TNI was used to pay around 438,000 soldiers nationwide. “Increasing the use of locally produced technology will help the efficacy of budget allocation [...] I hope we can increase the allocation for our soldiers’ salaries to 57 percent, but it is of course up to you,” he told the lawmakers.

The government has annually increased the budget allocation for the TNI. This year, the TNI received Rp 81.3 trillion (US$759 million) up from last year’s Rp 7.56 billion. If approved by lawmakers, the TNI will receive Rp 83.4 trillion next year.

During the fit-and-proper test on Wednesday, Moeldoko affirmed the TNI’s non-affiliation to any political parties after the lawmakers raised concerns over whether he would be neutral during the elections.

Tjahjo Kumolo from the Indonesian Democratic Party of Struggle (PDI-P) told Moeldoko that his predecessors had vowed to be neutral approaching the 2004 and 2009 elections, but they failed to live up to their claims. “We don’t want the TNI taking sides during the election,” said Tjahjo.

Moeldoko said, “My stance is firm and clear. I will not compromise in protecting the Unitary State of the Republic of Indonesia [NKRI].”

Commission I chairman Mahfudz Siddiq told reporters that his commission would closely monitor the TNI to ensure its impartiality in the elections. “He [Moeldoko] has promised to be neutral, thus we will keep an eye on the TNI to make sure that he keeps his promise,” Mahfudz, a Prosperous Justice Party (PKS) politician, said.

Contacted separately, defense observer Iis Gindarsiah from the Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS) said that if selected commander, Moeldoko should focus the TNI on its main job of protecting the country from external threats.

“I think the TNI must not be involved in dealing with communal conflicts because that is the responsibility of the police. However, as social conflicts will likely escalate in the near future, he must deploy soldiers to aid our police without getting too much involved in the conflicts,” Iis said. All factions on Commission I agreed to endorse Moeldoko. The commission will forward its assessment to the House plenary meeting on Aug. 27 for approval.

Vision and mission:

• To improve the welfare and professionalism of soldiers
• To improve soldiers’ discipline
• To minimize import of weaponry to promote the national defense industry
• To be neutral in upholding security approaching the 2014 elections

Wealth

Moeldoko’s wealth amounts to Rp 36 billion (US$3,340,000), comprising:

• Land and property worth Rp 22.13 billion
• Cars worth Rp 1.7 billion
• Livestock worth Rp 1.2 billion
• Precious metals and stones worth Rp 4.6 billion
• Demand deposits worth Rp 2.8 billion and US$450,000

Apache Momentum Continues as Military Visits US

Representatives from Indonesia’s armed forces visited a Boeing production center in the US state of Arizona to view eight AH-64E Apache combat helicopters, which Indonesia has been trying to buy for over a year, the aircraft manufacturer said on Thursday.

“The Apache is expected to be a key part of Indonesia’s continuing efforts to improve its strategic defense capabilities,” said Dave Brostrom, a Boeing business development manager.

The 14-person delegation, which included Army Chief Gen. Moeldoko and Defense Ministry Secretary General Lt. Gen. Budiman, viewed the latest Apache models and met with US officials.

Indonesia has expressed interest in buying helicopters from the US Army through a foreign military-sales agreement, and has received approval from the US government to do so, Boeing said.

According to Brostrom, Indonesia has also expressed interest in the CH-47F Chinook, which is produced in Pennsylvania.

When it first emerged that Indonesia was looking to acquire the eight Apaches, two human rights groups sent a letter to the US Congress, calling on legislators to reject the sale on human-rights grounds.

The East Timor Action Network and West Papua Advocacy Team said that Indonesia’s “long record of disregard for civilian casualties, corruption, human rights violations and impunity” should preclude the sale of the helicopters.

The time frame for a decision on the Apache request has not been announced, Boeing said, while there was no comment from Indonesia on when a deal would be announced.

The AH-64 Apache is the primary attack helicopter of the US, Greece, Israel, the Netherlands and Singapore.

2013 AASAM Team Visit to PT Pindad (Persero)
4 July 2013

Nineteen Indonesian Army personnel, who participated in 2013 Australia Army Skill Arms Meeting (AASAM) last May, visited PT Pindad (Persero) on Wednesday, July 3rd 2013. The group which led by Major Infantry Setyo Wibowo, directly accepted by Head of Weapon Division, Santa Yusuf Nasution at Auditorium, Directorate Building. This event was also attended by PT Pindad Director of Weaponry System, Ade Bagdja; Deputy Director of Sales and Marketing, Triyono Andri; Deputy Director of Research and Development, Triono Priohutomo; and some PT Pindad Head of Departments.

The 2013 AASAM team was invited to visit PT Pindad (Persero) in order to directly see the production facilities of some weapons that used by them during the international shooting competition on last May. Futhermore, the feedbacks from the team, as one of the user of PT Pindad weapon products, were so valuable for development and innovation of PT Pindad product in the future.

The support from PT Pindad for the AASAM team was admitted very meaningful. From the team forming at the beginning, the discussion about the right weapon for the tournament, until the assistance during the competition, was very helpful for the team to get the overall champion. The deficiencies and technical failures that occurred during the competition will be an evaluation material for the next year participation. This chance could be a research tool for PT Pindad to overcome the deficiencies which found on the weapon and creating the more accurate and reliable weapon.

According to team member testimony, PT Pindad weapon became a spotlight during the AASAM competition. Because of the accuracy and reliability, there were so many foreign countries personnel who want to know the detail about the weapons, both of SS2-V2 riffle or G2 Elite handgun which just debuted on 2013 AASAM. This was a good news for PT Pindad, because the weapons products were indirectly ‘marketed’ through this shooting competition to international defence industry.

After the event at the auditorium ended, the 2013 AASAM team visited 1st Production Department of Weapon Division and got an explanation from Head of 1st Production Department, Didi Suryana. After that, they visited the weapons display room and shooting area. They got an opportunity to try the performance of some of PT Pindad riffles products.

Hopefully, this cooperation which support each other could be continued at the future. The reliable shooters could use the Pindad products, while Pindad could get an innovation through the feedback from the team experience at the field, so that they could bearing the good name of the nation at the future international competition.
