TNI demands exclusive rights over attire

The Indonesian Air Force has expressed concern over the decision of ministries, including the Transportation Ministry and the Law and Human Rights Ministry, to design military-like uniforms for their officials, a trend the force said could cause a backlash for the military.

“The uniforms, which look like ones worn by the military, will cause misconceptions and create the opportunity for certain people to abuse [the situation],” Air Force chief of staff Air Marshal Agus Supriyatna said in Jakarta on Tuesday.

He said that with more civilians wearing military-style uniforms, members of the military could be blamed for potential problems.

“If there is a problem, military personnel could be the target [of blame] or if military personnel did something wrong, others might get the consequences,” he said.

The Air Force has written to the two ministries requesting that they drop military-like symbols and decorations from their uniforms.

Transportation Minister Ignasius Jonan was particularly targeted by the Air Force for his decision to hold a photo opportunity on Sept. 17 last year to mark the national transportation day in full military-like regalia, accompanied by the ministry’s director general who was also dressed in a similar outfit.

Jonan was seen holding a baton and putting a military star badge on his shoulder.

“We have written letters to express our concern. It will depend on the government [to find a solution]. The institutions should have their own uniforms,” Agus said.

Other than the two ministries, the Air Force has also written to mass organizations and political parties, warning them against adopting military-like symbols and uniforms.

The TNI commander issued a decision in 2004 on how military fatigue should look.

The decision forbids family members and other civilians from donning similar uniforms.

Air Force spokesperson Air Comr. Dwi Badarmanto said that uniforms were part of military identity and personnel did not wear them just for show.

“For those who wear military uniform, it means he or she is a combatant and legally can be targeted during a war or conflict situation. Military uniform is also to distinguish combatants and civilians. That is why civilians should not wear military uniforms,” Dwi told The Jakarta Post on Tuesday.

Dwi said that the Indonesian Military (TNI), particularly the Air Force, had seen the trend of civilians wearing military uniforms reach alarming levels.

He said that if the trend continued, it could have adverse impacts on military personnel.

“It will demoralize them because there would be no pride in wearing a uniform anymore,” Dwi said.

Responding to the Air Force’s demands, the Transportation Ministry said it had its own traditions in designing uniforms.

“We have long used this uniform,” the ministry’s spokesperson JA Barata said on Tuesday.

Military uniforms and paraphernalia are easy to find at traditional markets nationwide.

Military police have previously conducted raids against civilians donning military fatigue.

The corps has also cracked down on privately owned vehicles featuring stickers that use logos and names of elite military commands.

Last year the TNI gained the most public trust and respect out of numerous institutions, even outdoing the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK).

A study conducted by the Jakarta-based Centre for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS) between Oct. 14 to 21 found that the TNI received support from 90 percent of 1,183 respondents surveyed.

They did buy 3 NC-212 from spain. The last delivery was in 2013. If the picture you post is from PT.DI production hanggar, then that's new order. They must be really like this planes.

Kayaknya emang orderan baru. Punya Pilippine N110 & N111, punya Vietnam N112.

Confirmed... Viet ordered 2 Unit.

PT PAL is also interested in engine service and spare parts and hopefully in engine development as well in the future, thats why PT PAL teams up with GE and PT Nusantara Turbin (PT Dirgantara subsidiary) to build new company in engine (turbine) sector.

The company itself has already been operating (maybe) since the news as I remember has been around several years ago and the company name has been put in PT Dirgantara website.

Since KFX/IFX project has been prolonged based on recent news, so new facility (on going) intended for KFX/IFX production in Bandung can be used for N 219 production if all the preliminary sales can be converted into real sales. At least around 10 new planes got fixed order already in December Last Year.

which facility? do you know how it is still in construction, and that's not how plane production is working. Your sugestion is so messed up and looking doesn't have solid plan for PT DI growth.

Yup, " still in construction "

Sorry for "on going" phrase I uses, since I forgot " in construction" phrase which is more precise, thanks for correction.

Idle facility can be used sis if KFX/IFX program is prolonged since the facility construction uses older plan.

I cannot get mad on you actually..........

TANK TURRET TURNS LIGHT BOAT INTO DEADLY FIGHTER
By Kelsey D. Atherton Posted May 2, 2015

North Sea Boats’ new X-18 Tank Boat feels like it should be a G.I. Joe toy. The 60-foot long catamaran can travel up rivers, carry a small inflatable boat on its back, and deliver either 20 Marines or Navy SEALs to shore. It also has a tank cannon in a turret on top of the main cabin, and if that isn’t enough, it’s possible to put an automated heavy machine gun turret on top of the tank turret.

Designed for a crew of four, the Tank Boat punches well above its weight. The smaller turret can be outfitted with guns ranging from 7.62 machine guns to 30-mm light cannons, and the bigger guns punch through armored targets up to 3 miles away. The 105-mm cannon can also angle up to 42 degrees, letting it lob explosives over 6 miles. Landing on beaches is never easy, but a landing craft with deadly firepower makes it a lot easier.

Right now, the 18 appears to be just a concept, with small mock-upsappearing at defense trade shows. When asked for more information about the boat, Indonesian defense firm PT Lundin, which owns North Sea Boats, sent along a brochure, so it appears they are at least marketing the idea.

The X18 would hardly be the first tank boat. Starting in the 1930s and going into World War II, Soviet Russia experimented with heavier armed river boats, using already-made tank turrets as the turrets for their riverine vessels. Not just experiments, these ships saw battle, participating in fights on the Black Sea and the Baltic sea. During WWII, the U.S. Navy tried putting tank turrets on landing craft, but found the guns were too heavy and the boat engines too weak. With modern construction techniques, and 70 years of development since, it's unlikely the X18 will have these problems.

Indonesia opts out of Saudi-led military coalition

Indonesian President Joko ‘Jokowi’ Widodo receiving the King Abdul Aziz Medal from the King (right) when he visited Saudi Arabia on Sept 12.

Indonesian President Joko “Jokowi” Widodo refrained from openly rejecting the idea of joining the Saudi Arabia-led military coalition of 34 countries to fight terrorism, but his chief security czar announced the government’s decision to distance itself from the anti-terrorist coalition.

Coordinating Political, Legal and Security Affairs Minister Luhut Binsar Pandjaitan said Indonesia had no intention of joining the military alliance, as the government was prioritising the use of soft power in its war on terror.

“The stance of Indonesia’s government is that we want to handle the IS with a soft approach, including by promoting Islam as gracious and full of compassion, not a brutal religion like what the IS is portraying,” the retired four-star general said after accompanying the president in his meeting with Indonesian Military (TNI) generals on Dec 16.

The president said that the government did not want to follow other countries that used military force to combat radicalism and preferred using a soft approach as it was more effective.

“There are actually other things that we can do. Whether it is a religious approach or cultural approach, we need to do it consistently, firmly and continuously so that we can face any threat,” Jokowi said in his speech during a limited cabinet meeting at the Presidential Office on Wednesday.

Earlier on Wednesday, the president also told the military at TNI headquarters in Cilangkap, East Java, not to rule out deradicalisation measures while implementing a hard approach, saying that seeking breakthroughs in introducing better soft-approach measures was also needed.

Meanwhile, National Police chief Gen Badrodin Haiti said that he had proposed a number of deradicalisation steps in the cabinet meeting. “That includes [deradicalisation measures] for former terror convicts and their supporters. We must also protect our people by imposing programmes to counter radicalism [using soft-approach measures],” Badrodin said.

“It is important to prevent people who have yet to be influenced by radicalism by raising their awareness about radical ideologies,” Badrodin added.

The new Islamic alliance, led by Saudi Arabia, was expected to share information and train, equip and provide forces if necessary for the fight against the militant Islamic State (IS) group militants, Reuters reported recently.

The news agency also reported that a statement by Saudi state news agency SPA said the new coalition would have a joint operations centre based in Riyadh to “coordinate and support military operations”. The countries listed as joining the new coalition are Egypt, Qatar, the United Arab Emirates, Turkey, Malaysia, Pakistan and several African nations.

Foreign Ministry spokesman Armanatha Nasir said that Saudi Arabia’s foreign minister had approached Jakarta twice in the past few days to ask it to join a “centre to coordinate against extremism and terrorism”.

However, “what Saudi Arabia has announced is a military alliance, [...] It is thus important for Indonesia to first receive details before deciding to support it,” he said.

Western nations welcomed Saudi Arabia’s new Islamic coalition against terrorism, but confusion over its role, even among its own members, may undermine its ambitions of tackling militancy and deflecting international criticism of Riyadh.—The Jakarta Post

DCNS offers SUBTICS combat system for Indonesian submarine overhaul

Key Points

• DCNS is offering a combat system used onboard the French Navy's nuclear submarines to Indonesia
• System is offered as part of DCNS's proposal to repair and overhaul Indonesia's lead Cakra-class vessel

French shipbuilder DCNS is offering a submarine combat management system (CMS) developed by its wholly owned subsidiary Underwater Defense Systems (UDS) for the Indonesian Navy's (Tentara Nasional Indonesia - Angkatan Laut, or TNI-AL's) lead Cakra (Type 209/1300)-class diesel-electric submarine.

Sources close to the TNI-AL told IHS Jane's that the CMS, known as Submarine Tactical Integrated Combat System (SUBTICS), is being offered as part of DCNS's proposal to carry out maintenance, repair, and overhaul (MRO) work on KRI Cakra(401). The TNI-AL is looking to extend the life of the 59.5 m German-built vessel to 2024 with the MRO.

Cakra and sister ship KRI Nanggala (402) were built by Howaldtswerke-Deutsche Werft (HDW) and laid down in the late 1970s.

According to IHS Jane's C4ISR & Mission Systems: Maritime , SUBTICS was designed to be integrated with a Thales sonar suite and Whitehead Alenia Sistemi Subacquei's (WASS') torpedoes and fire control system. However, the CMS features an open architecture and interface design that allows options from other manufacturers as well.

On top of handling communications via ultra-high-frequency (UHF), very high-frequency (VHF), and satellite networks, SUBTICS can interface with tactical datalinks. The system also features a database structure that allows for data recording, replay, and analysis both onboard and ashore. The database can also store customer's intelligence data on vessels and assist with automatic target classification and identification.

A standard SUBTICS installation in a submarine control room typically features up to six Colibri Mk II commercial, off-the-shelf (COTS) ruggedised PC workstations. Up to two workstations are used for command and communications, two for fire control, while a further two are utilised for sonar and target motion analysis.

Indonesian Air Force claims current regulations leave airspace unprotected

The Indonesian Air Force has argued that the government should pass new regulations to protect the nation's skies, claiming that foreign planes often entered Indonesian airspace without permission.


"Their is an idea that Indonesia's airspace is open and not exclusive at all, as many non-scheduled foreign aircraft enter our airspace freely," Air Force spokesperson Rear Marshal Dwi Badarmanto said in Jakarta recently.

He acknowledged that Law No. 1/2009 on aviation did stipulate punishment for those who enter Indonesia's airspace without permission, however, he added that the regulation did not specify the type of criminal actions that would qualify as violations of the law.

"Any violation of our airspace is handled only as an entry-permit violation, not as a violation of a country's sovereignty," he said, adding that Indonesia should implement regulations on airspace security that protected the nation's airspace and stipulated legal consequences for violators.

Dwi also suggested that the Air Force be involved in investigations into airspace violations.

"The Air Force has a role to protect the nation's airspace, intercept illegal airplanes, and it has enough knowledge about these matters [to carry out these duties]," Dwi said.

Dwi said that the Air Force had taken action to protect the nation's airspace in the past, such as forcing planes flying in Indonesian airspace to land. However, he said that those actions seemed futile if their was no subsequent legal process.

He said that the pilots of planes that were forced to land had only been asked to pay a Rp 60 million (US$4,336) fine, the same price as an airport landing fee.

"The amount is too small and is not proportional with the effort we took. There should be legal punishment so violations will not happen again," Dwi said.

According to him, a legal process for violators would not only have a deterrent effect but would also guarantee the sovereignty of Indonesian's airspace.

Based on the 1944 Chicago convention and Law No. 1/2009 on aviation, Indonesia has sovereignty and the rights to exclusive use of its airspace, meaning that Indonesia has the right to use its airspace for defence and security activities in the national interest. This includes protecting Indonesia from air strikes and violations of its airspace.

There has been many reports of the Air Force confronting foreign planes that did not have permission to fly in Indonesian skies. In most cases, the Air Force has requested that the pilots of foreign planes leave Indonesian airspace or land.an

On Nov. 10, for instance, the Air Force intercepted a civilian plane being flown by a US navy reserve pilot, Col. James Patrick Murphy, and forced it to land at the Juwata airbase in Tarakan, North Kalimantan.

On the same day, the Air Force in Makassar, South Sulawesi, detained a Malaysian airplane and its five crew members as the plane did not have clearance to enter Makassar.

The Malaysian airplane was planning to fly to Bali and then continue on to Australia.

In November 2014, two Sukhoi jet fighters forced down an United Arab Emirates Gulfstream IV Jet in Kupang, East Nusa Tenggara, after the jet entered Indonesia using fake flight clearance papers.

In March 2011, a commercial airplane owned by Pakistan International Airlines entered Indonesia without proper permission. The plane, which was transporting 49 military personnel, was forced to land in Makassar.
