Indonesia Defence Forum

[mandala]

Asal nggak blunder aja kayak kemaren bilang beli heli untuk Kepresidenan/VVIP. Since the president obviously didn't like the premise of him wasting defense funds for his own comfort.

Well there is also news that the Vice President showing signs that he would not give the greenlight again to this plan purchase. Anyway the Defence Ministry will look into the Air Force request.

Kemhan kaji permintaan TNI AU beli helikopter AW-101

Reporter : Yulistyo Pratomo

Merdeka.com - Kementerian Pertahanan tengah mengkaji permintaan Tentara Nasional Indonesia Angkatan Udara (TNI AU) untuk membeli helikopter baru, yakni AgustaWestland AW-101. Pembelian tersebut dilakukan untuk kepentingan operasional angkut personel.

"Surat permintaan sudah kami terima dari TNI AU, kini Kementerian Pertahanan sedang mengkaji," ungkap Kepala Pusat Komunikasi Publik Kementerian Pertahanan, Brigadir Jenderal Djundan Eko Bintoro, saat dikonfirmasi merdeka.com, Kamis (8/9).

Surat permintaan itu diajukan TNI beberapa minggu lalu. Jumlah yang diinginkan hanya 1 unit. "Suratnya datang beberapa minggu lalu, pastinya lupa tanggal. Jadi itu sedang dikaji," pungkasnya.

Sebelumnya, TNI AU kembali mengajukan pembelian helikopter baru untuk keperluan operasional. Kabar pembelian ini diakui oleh Kepala Dinas Penerangan TNI Angkatan Udara (Kadispenau) Marsekal Pertama Jemi Tri Sonjaya. Sejauh ini, pihaknya hanya mengajukan teknis yang dibutuhkan.

"Ya kita hanya ajukan spek saja. Indikasi teknis, berkaitan heli untuk transportasi," ujar Jemi saat dikonfirmasi merdeka.com, Kamis (8/9).

Meski begitu, TNI AU menyerahkan sepenuhnya proses pembelian heli tersebut kepada Kementerian Pertahanan. Sayangnya, Jemi enggan menyebutkan jumlah heli yang akan dipakai untuk angkutan personel itu.

"Mengajukan saja. Kita serahkan kepada kebijakan pemerintah. Disesuaikan dengan anggaran," sahutnya.

Inside PINDAD's Anoa2 6x6 Amphibious

Indonesian Aerospace products on IBD Expo 2016

The propeller design leaves a lot to be desired, but they bring speed and agility in the water. 12 knot or around 20 km/hour. That speed is already above avarage for most amphibious APC/IFV.

Thrust-to-weight ratio. Other Amphibious Vehicles are only 2 to 4 knots slower, while being almost TWO TIMES HEAVIER in weight. That's the particular thing that I don't get.

Take a look from different perspective, since PINDAD want to utilize ANOA as a common armored vehicle platform and want to retain most of its basic characteristics such as weight and speed. We can't really compare this to bigger IFV that has larger room for bigger engine, etc.

For what it is, ANOA2 6x6 amphibious is definitely a fast swimmer.

I don't wanna sound like I'm taking it for granted, but I do have some suggestions for Anoa;

IF only the windshield was removed completely (driver's vision via panoramic prism/camera, just like retrofitted AMX), and the nose was shaped as glacis, there would be big enough room to accomodate bigger engine. Driver is either sit at the left or right side, the engine is housed at the opposite side.
Kinda like 6x6 version of this:

Just my point of view.

I don't know whether that technically possible or even worth a try. But we can expect Pindad to develop 8x8 platform after the medium tank project. Maybe by then, PINDAD would have proper and adequate resources and expertise to pull thing together nicely.

If it ain't possible, there wouldn't be Badak, my friend... Just heighten the profile a bit and voila..

But yeah, probably just save the effort for 8x8..

 

[pr1v4t33r]

But yeah, probably just save the effort for 8x8..

Indeed. As for today, PINDAD just want to make Anoa to be able to swim with agile movement on the water. For comparison, VAB only have 7 km/h speed on the water while Anoa2 6x6 amphibious, 20 km/h. That's a huge gap and already a feat for PINDAD. A quick win!

Maybe anyone can put some data for comparison of other amphibious APC/IFV.

Untuk VVIP

Dalam pemberitaan Kompas, TNI-AU menyebutkan Helikopter tersebut diperuntukan bukan untuk VVIP, melainkan untuk angkut berat. http://arc.web.id/berita/746-tni-au-ajukan-kembali-pembelian-aw-101

Yet they didn't describe it as such. The important thing is what being perceived in public, so this statement is clever. And will give higher change for this procurement to be approved. Just don't put mr.president on a hot seat, or he'll cancel this immediately.

Indonesia pushes for ASEAN-Japan maritime partnership
Kamis, 8 September 2016 11:29 WIB | 789 Views

Jakarta (ANTARA News) - Indonesia is pushing for strengthening cooperation in maritime and human resource fields between the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) members and Japan since they can be regional partners.

Indonesian president Joko Widodo (Jokowi) gave a call for this at the 19th ASEAN-Japan Summit at the National Convention Center, Vientiane, Laos, on Wednesday.

He said he considered Japan an important partner of ASEAN member countries.

"For more than forty years, the partnership between ASEAN and Japan has proven strong and has contributed to peace, regional stability and achievement of common welfare," he underlined.

He reminded that this long partnership was the main capital on which ASEAN and Japan can build further to ensure that people reap the real benefits.

He counseled that concrete cooperation needs to be boosted in two sectors in the future.

"First is the maritime sector. The ASEAN region and Japan are connected through strategic waters which are economically very valuable. In view of that, maritime connectivity in the region would lead to a more connected and integrated region, making it conducive for economic growth," he argued.

President Joko Widodo also stressed to enhance cooperation in developing reliable human resources to support the development in ASEAN and Japan. This needs to be done through technological and vocational development.

"ASEAN and Japan must push for cooperation to increase the quality of education, including vocational training, technical training, business management and technological development as well as youth and students' exchange programs," he elaborated.

On this occasion, President Joko Widodo also touched on the popularity of "Manga," a Japanese creative work that has been popular across the world.

He hoped that people would not only know "Manga" but will also benefit directly from the partnership between ASEAN and Japan.

"Most of us certainly know the "Manga" comic books well and perhaps also like it. Manga readers in Indonesia are the second biggest in the world after those in Finland. I hope my people will not only know Manga but also feel directly the benefit of ASEAN-Japan partnership," he commented.

At the forum, President Jokowi was flanked by Coordinating Minister for Political, Security and Legal Affairs Wiranto, Foreign Minister Retno Marsudi, Trade Minister Enggartiasto Lukito and Cabinet Secretary Pramono Anung.

After the 19th ASEAN-Japan summit, Foreign Minister Retno Marsudi told reporters that at the meeting, President Joko Widodo appreciated the program carried out by the Japanese government, namely JENESYS 2.0 that was launched in April 2005 to replace its previous version.

"For 2016, an allocation has been made for 250 students from Indonesia. Thus, in 2016, 250 participants from Indonesia will benefit from the JENESYS program, which is a bonding factor in the relationship between ASEAN and Japan," she underscored.(*)

The picture was taken in October 1965 and it show a movement by Indonesian Army in the streets of Jakarta after the failed coup - allegedly initiated - by the Indonesian Communist Party (PKI). First one, a Toyota Land Cruiser ambulance from the 1960's, then a Daimler Ferret armoured car, and then an Alvis Saladin (FV601) armoured car.

Another Alvis Saladin (FV601) armoured car. It's a six-wheeled armoured car built by Alvis, and fitted with a 76mm gun. Used extensively by the British Army, it replaced the AEC Armoured Car that had been in service since World War II.

This one is a Soviet GAZ-69, probably a personnel carrier or maybe a load carrier. GAZ-69 is a four-wheel drive light truck, produced by GAZ (ГАЗ, or Gorkovsky Avtomobilnyi Zavod, Gorky Automobile Factory) between 1953 and 1956 and then by UAZ, in 1956–1972, though all of these cars were commonly known as GAZ-69s. Extremely popular in the Soviet Union, it was copied by a number of foreign companies

At that time the "Gubernuran" (as it was known, and still are) used as a residence by the President of the Republic of Indonesia, Ir. Soekarno. The Canadian Chevrolet CGT Artillery Tractor came with both a fully armored cabin and a partly armored one. The picture itself was taken by Charles Breijer
