Some interesting writtings in this old posting :
1)
Army Aviation
In July 2011, Lieutenant General Budiman, deputy chief of staff of the TNI-AD, said that the TNI-AD had a requirement to procureup to 200 helicopters during the next two decades to replace a significant number of helicopters that will be retired in thecoming years. Due for replacement during this time frame are the fleets of Bell 205A-1 (procured in 1978), Bell 412SP (1986)and Eurocopter NBO-105 (1978) helicopters. All of these are used by the TNI-AD in utility roles, although further requirementsexist for transport and combat helicopters.
Outlining the requirement, Lt Gen Budiman said that PT Dirgantara Indonesia (PTDI) was well positioned to provide the helicoptersthrough the licensed production agreements that it has secured with Eurocopter and Bell Helicopter. It is unlikely that thecountry will have funds to support the procurement of up to 200 new platforms, but it is a priority area for the army.
However, as many Western countries are in the process of reducing their defence equipment inventories, Indonesia is now ableto buy surplus stock from them, like Apache longbow helicopters from the US. eight AH-64 Apache helicopters cheaply from surplusEuropean stocks. No further detail has been made available and a European seller was yet to emerge.

Jakarta was originally offered 24 used F-16A/B fighters in 2010 as a Foreign Military Sale from the US. The two countrieswere scheduled to sign a letter of acceptance over the F-16 deal in February 2012, with deliveries to be completed by 2014.The quantity of fighters offered has since increased to 30 units – 28 F-16C/D Block 25 fighters and two F-16A/B Block 15 versions- but so has the price: Indonesia’s air force chief of staff estimated in September 2011 that it would cost Indonesia USD430million for delivery, necessary repairs and upgrades for the aircraft, up from an estimate of USD160 million in 2010

Frigates
In September 2012, the US confirmed plans to sell Indonesia excess frigates as defence relations between the two countrieswere improving. These will likely be Oliver Hazard Perry-class frigates that are being replaced in US Navy service by theLittoral Combat Ship. Further details are yet to emerge.
