I think Turkey and Indonesia will generate more strategic projects like Kaplan. That is just the beginning. If Indonesia was inside of TF-X MMU program as official partner of this aircraft, I would be happier. We missed big chance !

Don't worry mate, indonesia and turkish could colaborate in the next indonesian submarine procurement, if the price is right and the TOT is good i think there will be a big chance that indonesia will colaborate on producing U-214 with turkish company

Indonesian Defense Minister Receives Visit of Turkish Defense Industry Delegation

Tuesday, September 4 2018

Jakarta - Republic of Indonesia Defense Minister Ryamizard Ryacudu received a visit from the Turkish and German Defense Industry Delegation led by the Vice President of the Presidency of Defense Industries SSB Serdar Demirel on Tuesday (4/9) at the Ministry of Defense office, Jakarta.

During this visit, the two sides discussed the efforts to increase defense cooperation between the two countries, especially in the defense industry.

Defense industry cooperation between Indonesia and Turkey in recent years has increased significantly including a joint development and production program with middle class tanks (medium tanks).

"As we know that the medium tank program has gone well, so the first prototype has been shown on the day of Indonesian Independence, we hope that massive production can already run", said Serdar Demirel when received by the Indonesian Defense Minister.

Starting the visit to the Indonesian Defense Minister, Serdar Demirel along with the delegation expressed his gratitude for his honor to be accepted. The purpose of this visit was in order to follow up the agreement between the President of Turkey and the President of the Republic of Indonesia on increasing cooperation in the defense industry of the two countries at the time of President Joko Widodo's visit to Turkey last year.

Furthermore Serdar Demirel said, in addition to cooperation in developing Medium Tanks, Turkey's defense industry also wanted to expand cooperation with the Indonesian defense industry, among them joint development with unmanned aircraft and submarines. "Because we know that Indonesia also wants to build its own capabilities related to submarines," he added. (BDI / RAF)

A critique for the police, with those huge budget compared to defense (which are divided between ministry of defence and three branches of the armed forces). Why would they need an air force and a navy and spend a lot of money for ship and airplanes when they can't even manage the traffic and solve crimes right, that's one of their basic duties. yet they claimed they don't have enough budget for solving crimes. It is wiser and more appropriate to give those budget to the armed forces and coast guard than to the police. They are the one who really needs those ships and airplanes. If the police need transport they can use air force service, instead having their own military transport. The law should also give clear and strict limit to the duties and function between police, armed forces and coast guard.

IMHO The way i see it now, the police overreaching their function by trying to become air force and navy while neglecting/sacrificing their basic duties. cmiiw

Mas nametag,

Negara ini menganut prinsip pertahanan rakyat semesta.

Polisi termasuk rakyat bukan ?

Seharusnya kita bersyukur karena pengadaan untuk pesawat dan kapal sebagai platform yg suatu saat bisa dipersenjatai ataupun hanya sebagai bantuan pengangkut pasukan, tidak terbatas hanya pada tentara dan penjaga pantai saja tetapi juga ada pada kepolisian, bea cukai, kementerian perikanan, kementerian perhubungan, kementerian BUMN dll.

Nope tugas antara TNI dan POLRI emang kebanyakan overlap, ga jelas

Polair dan pol laut itu mutlak dibutuhkan polisi. Logikanya sama aja knp AD butuh heli butuh pesawat butuh kapal jg?

Anggaran penyelesaian kasus kriminalitas kita emang kecil kok. Situ kira duit satu juta dua juta cukup buat nyelesain satu kasus? Mulai dr ongkos bensin pencarian barbuk, ongkos barang inavis, uji lab dll. .. Sementara Indonesia itu negara kepulauan, ya kali kalo polisi butuh pesawat untuk kirim personil densus ke poso harus numpang AU setiap saat? Masa polisi setiap mau tahu kondisi macet Jakarta dari udara harus charter pesawat sipil setiap saat dll. Bahkan polair jg dibutuhkan untuk kasus hukum dilaut

Nope tugas antara TNI dan POLRI emang kebanyakan overlap, ga jelas

Ya kagak kali, overlap dimana? Emang polisi bisa ngasih deterrence ke Malaysia kalo lg konflik perbatasan? Emang tentara bisa nangkep pemerkosa?
