First AH-64E Apache Guardian for Indonesia arrives from US

MELBOURNE, Australia — The first Boeing AH-64E Apache Guardian attack helicopter for Indonesia has arrived from the United States as the company continues to market the CH-47 Chinook heavy lift helicopter to the Southeast Asian country.
Sources in Indonesia say the helicopter was flown in by a U.S. Air Force Boeing C-17A Globemaster III airlifter to Semarang on the north-central part of Indonesia’s main island of Java on Monday, having departed the U.S. late last week.
Indonesia requested eight Apache Guardians under the U.S. Foreign Military Sales program in September 2012, along with associated equipment and spares that included the Northrop Grumman AN/APG-78 Longbow Fire Control Radar and 140 Lockheed Martin AGM-114R3 anti-tank missiles, for an estimated total value of $1.42 billion.
According to the FMS request, Indonesia will use the helicopters to “defend its borders, conduct counterterrorism and counter-piracy operations, and control the free flow of shipping through the strategic Straits of Malacca.” Indonesia’s previous Army chief of staff, Gen. Budiman, said at least some of the Apaches would be stationed at the Natuna Islands bordering the South China Sea.
The resource-rich area around the islands holds the world’s largest untapped reserves of natural gas, and it is also where China’s “nine-dash line” claim over the South China Sea partially overlaps Indonesia’s exclusive economic zone, or EEZ.
Although not a claimant to the disputed islands in the area, Indonesia has had problems with fishermen from neighboring countries illegally operating within its EEZ and has skirmished with the coast guards of Vietnam and China.
Meanwhile, it was announced last week that Indonesian Defence Minister Ryamizard Ryacudu has met with Boeing Defence and Space’s regional director and vice president for Indonesia and Malaysia, Yeong Tae Pak, at Indonesia’s capital Jakarta where they discussed the potential for cooperation in defense procurement.
According to Indonesia’s Defence Ministry, these included comprehensive details of how Boeing’s offset program can be lined up with Indonesia’s desire to advance its domestic defense industry. The country has sought to broaden its capabilities and participation in this sector, and has entered agreements with several partners in designing, manufacturing and sustaining defense articles that include light tanks and helicopters.
Pak also highlighted the multimission capabilities of the Chinook helicopter in roles ranging from special forces support to disaster relief, according to the ministry’s announcement. Indonesia has previously highlighted its need for a heavy lift helicopter to support Army operations, and the Chinook has been touted as a likely choice; however, this has yet to be translated into an actual sale for Boeing.

Heli Tempur Apache TNI AD Tiba di Semarang Hari Ini
Jakarta - Helikopter AH-64 Apache milik TNI Angkatan Darat sudah tiba dari Amerika Serikat (AS) pada hari ini. Helikopter tersebut tiba di Indonesia dengan diangkut menggunakan pesawat Angkatan Udara AS.
"Hari ini tiba di Semarang. Infonya ada 3 Unit," kata Kapuskom Publik Kemhan, Brigjen Totok Sugiharto saat dihubungi detikcom, Selasa (19/12/2017).
"Yang baru saya lihat satu unit keluar dari pesawat angkatan udara Amerika," imbuh dia.
Brigjen Totok menyatakan helikopter tersebut merupakan pemesanan sebelumnya sejumlah 8 unit. Pada tahun 2018, kata Totok, Indonesia akan menerima kembali helikopter itu.
"Iya ini yang baru tahun 2018 akan tiba (sisanya). Saat ini baru lihat satu unit," ucap Totok.

Menurut Totok, helikopter itu akan digunakan Penerbangan TNI AD (Penerbad). Saat ini helikopter itu juga akan ditempatkan di Penerbad Ahmad Yani, Semarang.
"Heli nanti akan ditempatkan Penerbad Semarang," tutur dia.
Sebelumnya pada tahun 2013, Indonesia sudah memesan 8 helikopter Apache dari perusahaan AS, Boeing. Wamenhan saat itu Sjafrie Sjamsuddin mengatakan nantinya heli Apache itu juga sudah bisa digunakan untuk latihan perang operasi Garuda TNI AD.
"2 Heli utama dan 2 heli pendukung," ujar Sjafrie di Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, Senin (14/4/2014).
Kepastian soal kedatangan heli ini didapatkan saat Sjafrie bertemu pihak Boeing di Defence Services Asia 2014 yang digelar 14-17 April di Malaysia.
Apache ini telah dipesan sejak 2013 lalu dan akan didatangkan secara bertahap ke Indonesia. Sebelum ini, tahap awal 4 Apache telah lebih dahulu tiba.

3 Apache will arrive. But: "Sebelum ini, tahap awal 4 Apache telah lebih dahulu tiba." Meaning? 4 Apache have arrived before?

Well there was news in 2013 that the Indonesian Army plans to purchase up to 40 units Apache helicopters. Maybe by 2024 end of 3rd MEF. Don't know if it can be achieve but lets wait and see.
Indonesia Negotiating Purchase of US Apache Helicopters
Sabtu, 29 Juni 2013 20:46 WIB
Semarang (Antara) - Defense minister Purnomo Yusgiantoro said that negotiations for the purchase of some Apache helicopters from the US were still ongoing.
"It is still under process but what is important is that the US government has approved it," he said here on Saturday.
Purnomo was here to monitor distribution of cash handouts for the poor following the government's recent decision to increase the prices of subsidized fuel oils.
The minister said the idea to purchase a number of assault helicopters was connected with the preparations for the formation of an Apache Squadron as part of efforts to build a defense system to safeguard the country's sovereignty.
He said several countries in Asia such as China and Japan are currently also building their defense forces.
"Seeing the conditions we must also prepare ourselves but it is not for war but for protecting Indonesia's sovereignty," he said.
He said the Apache helicopters would also be used to secure the country's natural resources that are located in areas bordering other countries.
The minister said as part of the development of the country's defense forces the Indonesian Navy is also preparing anti-submarine helicopters that could be carried by Indonesian warships, a fleet of destroyers of ships with missiles and submarines.
"Thank God, Indonesia's economy is quite good so that some funds could be used for improving public welfare and defense power to meet future challenges," he said.
The army plans to purchase 40 Apache helicopters at a cost of US$40 million per unit. (*)

NUKLIR KOREA UTARA KE INDONESIA HANYA BUTUH WAKTU 16 MENIT
19 DECEMBER 2017 DIANEKO_LC LEAVE A COMMENT

Puncak dari krisis Semenanjung Korea akan berdampak langsung pada Indonesia. Salah satu faktor yang paling dikhawatirkan adalah imbas dari ancaman senjata pemusnah massal alias nuklir yang dimiliki oleh Korea Utara.
Dekan Fakultas Manajemen Pertahanan, Universitas Pertahanan, Laksamana Muda TNI, Amarulla Octavian mengatakan, TNI telah mempersiapkan berbagai skenario terburuk terjadinya hal tersebut. Salah satunya adalah menghadang rudal itu dengan pesawat tempur.
“Sekarang mau tidak mau, karena ada krisis di Semenanjung Korea kita harus bisa menghadapi serangan rudal atau nuklir. Itu kan sangat berbeda dengan serangan pesawat,” kata dia di Kampus Universitas Indonesia, Depok, Jawa Barat, Selasa 19 Desember 2017.
Rudal atau nuklir, kata Amarulla, memiliki jangkauan yang lebih luas, cepat, berdaya ledak lebih tinggi dan juga bisa meledak di mana saja. Serangan atau senjata ini disebut non-konvensional dan harus jadi perhatian masyarakat Indonesia secara keseluruhan.
“Teknisnya kita merancang pertahanan itu jauh di laut internasional. Jadi pesawat-pesawat kita disiapkan menghadang datangnya rudal yang mengancam Indonesia di perairan internasional sehingga kalau terjadi ledakan jauh sekali tidak sampai ke Depok ini,” ujarnya menjelaskan.
Akan tetapi lanjut Amarulla, ada sejumlah persiapan yang harus dipenuhi untuk meminimalisir dampak dari serangan itu, seperti menyiapkan bungker. Sosialisasi kepada masyarakat untuk mengantisipasi serangan nuklir juga harus terus gencar dilakukan.
“Kita cuma punya waktu berlindung 16 menit, itu dari kalkulasi kita (TNI). Dan apakah arahnya (rudal) ke Amerika atau ke mana kita enggaktahu. Kecepatan rudal itu hampir di atas 2 kali kecepatan suara. Ya untuk masyarakat sembunyi kalau TNI menghadang dengan pesawat.”

This, a justification to bought more interceptor type Fighter, LoL. The new Chief of Armed Forces is very provocating at a good sense
