The Indonesian Navy showcased its latest primary weapons systems during a ceremony at the Madura Pier, the Eastern Fleet headquarters in Surabaya, East Java, on Wednesday.

President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono inspected the military hardware, which included warships, missiles and helicopters.

“We do not want a war but if we have to fight to defend our sovereignty, then we are ready,” he said during the inspection.

There was also a flyover involving maritime patrol versions of the CN-235 and NC-212, which were manufactured by state-owned airframer PT Dirgantara Indonesia, and Australian-made GAF N-22 Nomad patrol aircraft.

Additionally, Navy chief of staff Adm. Marsetio briefed the president on the procurement of naval weapon systems.

The displayed warships included four Diponegoro-class SIGMA corvettes, four Makassar-class landing platform dock (LPDs), four 40-meter Clurit-class fast missile boats (KCR-40s) and two 43-meter fast patrol boats (PC-43).

The corvettes were built in the Netherlands, one of the LPDs in South Korea and the other LPD, the KCR-40 and the PC-43 were built in Indonesia by local shipbuilders.

Marsetio added that the Navy was waiting for three British-made Bung Tomo-class multi-role light frigates (MRLFs), as well as three KCR-60s and two more PC-43s.

Meanwhile, Defense Minister Purnomo Yusgiantoro said that the Marine Corps had received 54 Russian-made BMP-3F amphibious infantry fighting vehicles (IFV) and one BREM-L recovery vehicle as well as 15 LVT 7A1 amphibious vehicles that were donated by Korea.

The Navy has also procured two CN-235-220 MPA, four Beechcraft G-36 Bonanza trainer airplane, three Bell 412-EP helicopters as well as Russian-made Yakhont and Chinese-made C-802 anti-ship missiles. (nvn)

How many and Which Submarines you have right now and How many you are going to get soon or are planning to buy ?

How many and Which Submarines you have right now and How many you are going to get soon or are planning to buy ?

2 type 209 Germany (has been modernized several years ago), and it will be another 3 improved Changbogo Subs (209 type), one of them will be made in Indonesia (finished 2018 insyaALLAH). We need minimum 12 Subs based on our official plan, and from the latest info, our President said that we will make the rest of it in Indonesia, it means all 12 subs will be 209 type, but of course new administration that will execute that plan, but I think nurturing our own defense industry is the populist policy, good move politically.

I have said before, we want to do it after KFX/IFX program completed insyaALLAH....starting from 2020-2022 there are possibility that we will acquire it in hundreds...since our GDP is projected to get 2 Trillion USD in that time. Today we are developing more fleets and our human resources skills. We should make it in a step by step basis. Don't want like what was happening during Arab-Israel war, less skill with many jet fighter is doom. Don't need to be rush. Our tax ratio needs to be increase as well to get huge budget for our military. We are in a good relation with both China and USA, no real threat for the next 5 years.

and Until than you would pray to ALLAH no country attacks you are you serious 2022 really for GOD sake do something now

and Until than you would pray to ALLAH no country attacks you are you serious 2022 really for GOD sake do something now

We are in a step of being a big nation in term of military, many research and domestic acquisition is being made starting from 2005. If we release all of the money now, our defense industry and our economy is not going to be in a very optimistic profile. in the future. Today we are dealing with US Fed tapering move, just like experiencing by all emergence economies (India, Turkey, Mexico,.etc). Needs healthy trade balance.

If we finished with our additional oil refinery (needs huge money), completing our gas infrastructure, increasing our tax ratio at least just another 2 percent, reducing oil subsidy into zero, now then we will be able to tackle our trade deficit problem since it is in the oil trade that makes us so suffers. I think for all Indonesian who see this post......You all need to understand this..and please pick your next President based on their plan regarding those specifict issue. Only by dealing with that policies, Indonesia can be really strong.

In a sign of thawing relations between Australia and Indonesia, Defence Minister David Johnston and top military brass will head this week to Jakarta for a major conference on maritime security.

Despite months of diplomatic tension over spying and asylum seeker policy - including an announcement by Indonesia that it would cut military co-operation - Senator Johnston will attend the two-day conference and take part in a panel discussion.

Defence sources say that behind the political war of words over spying and boat turnbacks, military-to-military ties have remained strong.

Senator Johnston will be joined by Defence Force chief General David Hurley, and the secretary of the Defence Department Dennis Richardson.

The Jakarta International Defence Dialogue, now in its fourth year, has been driven personally by Indonesian President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono. Dr Yudhoyono will open the conference on Wednesday morning.

The objective of the conference, according to a draft agenda, is ''to promote intergovernmental co-operation to meet common threats and challenges''.

''The (dialogue) hopes to contribute to an environment that is favourable to a lasting peaceful order in the Asia-Pacific region, characterised by co-operation, transparency and trust among governments and militaries alike.''

The themes of the conference include ''managing contested waters'' and ''strengthening legal and diplomatic co-operation at sea'' - topics that are likely to draw attention to Australia's recent accidental breaches of Indonesian maritime territory while carrying out border protection operations.

After it was revealed late last year that Australia had targeted the mobile phone of Dr Yudhoyono, Jakarta announced it was halting military co-operation and recalled its ambassador to Canberra. Ambassador Nadjib Riphat Kesoema still has not returned to Australia.

Indonesian Navy (TNI AL) orders a new Stealth Fast Missile Patrol Vessel Trimaran

According to Indonesian media JakartaGreater, citing the Chief of Indonesian Navy, a new 63 meters Stealth Fast Missile Patrol Vessel (FMPV) trimaran will be ordered from shipbuilder North Sea Boats (PT Lundin). The first vessel, KRI Klewang-625, was destroyed in a fire in September 2012 shortly after its launch.

The Fast Missile Patrol Vessel (FMPV) was officialy launched on Friday 31st August, 2012 at PT Lundin’s shipyard facility in Banyuwangi, East Java.

In 2009 PT Lundin signed a contract to build a one of the most advanced “stealth” warships for TNI-AL (Indonesian Navy). This was the result of an intensive Research and Development programme conducted by PT Lundin Industry Invest (North Sea Boats) and TNI-AL that commenced in 2007. Construction commenced in early 2010 and the trimaran was officialy launched on Friday 31st August, 2012 at PT Lundin’s shipyard facility in Banyuwangi, East Java.

The new 63 metre long vessel is a cutting edge trimaran design that is considered to be the most advanced naval vessel of its type ever built in South East Asia.

The Fast Missile Patrol Vessel (FMPV) employs a modern “Wave Piercing” trimaran design. This allows the vessel to cut-through waves rather than rise up and over them, and the increased beam provides inherent stability. This combination of features reduces both pitching and rolling, creating a stable weapons platform, and enabling the vessel to comfortably and safely maintain higher average speeds in adverse conditions.

The FMPV has “Stealth” design characteristics, and incorporate features that minimise detection by reducing Radar, Infra-Red, Acoustic and Magnetic signatures. Stealth properties are further improved as there are no reverse-angle bow overhangs to reflect radar signals, as seen on conventional hull forms. Weaponry, including missiles and naval guns, and the ships 11 m high-speed RHIB, are discreetly concealed or shaped to meld into the superstructure profile.
