In case of the Leopard 2 Evolution, the side armor of the tank was capable of resisting the PG-7VLT ammunition with tandem warhead, which can penetrate more than 500 mm of steel armor after defeating explosive reactive armor (ERA). In static tests, a similar thick array of AMAP was also capable of protecting against the PG-7VR round (fitted with the same warhead as used by the RPG-29 ammunition), which is capable of penetrating up to 750 mm steel armor (600 mm after ERA).
 
Gov't Focus on Domestic-made Defense Equipment
Zoom Out Zoom In Normal
TEMPO.CO, Jakarta - Defense Minister Ryamizard Ryacudu underlined that the government is committed in prioritizing domestic-made primary defense equipment systems (alutsista). "If we can produce it, why must we purchase? It must be made [domestically]," the Minister said on Friday, November 25, 2016.

Recently, domestic aircraft manufacturer PT Dirgantara Indonesia delivered over two out of six of full combat SAR mission EC725 helicopters that were ordered by the ministry of defense to be used by the Indonesian Army Air Force. "It's six for the moment. We’ll see how many the Air Force needs, (then) we’ll buy more," Ryamizard said.

Ryamizard said that Indonesia will start producing a number its primary defense equipment systems. For example, Ryamizard stated that in the next two years, Indonesia hoped to produce submarines. "Maybe in the next five to ten years we would have to build ourselves our own fighter jet," Ryamizard added.

The Minister however, admitted that there are several defense equipments the country still has to purchase from foreign countries, for example, the Sukhoi fighter plane and a submarine from Russia.

Suspected Indonesia militant was making bombs 'more powerful than Bali devices'

Indonesian police have said a suspected Islamic militant arrested earlier this week was making explosives more powerful than those used in the 2002 Bali bombings that killed 202 people.

Rio Priatna Wibawa, 23, was linked to Bahrun Naim, an Indonesian militant fighting with the Islamic State group in Syria, national police spokesman Rikwanto said on Saturday. Naim was believed to have inspired attacks at home including a January attack in the capital Jakarta that killed eight people.

Bomb-making explosives were recovered from a laboratory in Wibawa’s home in Majalengka town, West Java province, said Rikwanto, who goes by one name. With his ability, Wibawa was making bombs three times as powerful as the Bali bombs, Rikwanto said.

A security crackdown since the 2002 Bali bombings has rounded up hundreds of radicals and reduced their capacity for large attacks. But a new threat has emerged from the hundreds of Indonesians who have travelled abroad to fight with Isis before returning home.

Rikwanto said Wibawa, a dropout from an agricultural university who was said to have been radicalised by the writings of firebrand cleric Aman Abdurrahman,
allegedly received funds from radicalised Indonesians working in Saudi Arabia, Malaysia and Taiwan, and was operating under the direction of Naim.

Several other suspected militants were involved in the bomb-making and police are searching for them, Rikwanto said. Police, from their interrogation of Wibawa, believe he obtained bomb-making materials from contacts in Java, Sumatra and East Nusatenggara in Indonesia as well as the Philippines.

Possible targets for attack were the parliament building, police headquarters, embassies, television stations, places of worship and cafes, according to Rikwanto.

Chemicals seized from Wibawa’s laboratory included RDX, which is a component in plastic explosives, TNT, high explosive peroxide HMTD and gunpowder.

Indonesia to maintain Saudi Arabian military aircraft

Starting in 2017, state-owned aircraft manufacture PT Dirgantara Indonesia (DI) will maintain Saudi Arabian military helicopters and aircraft.

“We are still processing the contract,” Brig. Gen Jan Pieter Ate, the Defense Ministry’s director of the defense industry and technology, told The Jakarta Post on Friday.

Jan said DI was among defense companies in Indonesia ready to offer maintenance services for foreign military helicopters and airplanes.

“We have a good track record in cooperation with Airbus and the ability to produce aircraft for foreign countries,” he said.

DI previously provided maintenance services for Columbian and Panamanian aircraft. (evi)

Police should have interrogate the suspect to get the idea of how they were able to build such explosive. The know-how can be used to invent a much more powerful explosive for military use.

Terrorism is terrorism, crime is crime, don't associate them with anyone who are not doing those, as it is a crime it self.
