The problem is that air force / media introduced this helicopter as presidential helicopter, hence they got resentment from the people and the president. In the future, air force should be more tactical and diplomatic when sharing information to the media.

People is behind PT Dirgantara/PT PAL/ PT PINDAD/ PT LEN/ etc....

They are like KPK in our poltics, always get people support and people support is the way politician to get power

By the way, nurturing our high tech industries can give two positive things to our nation, first economics and second psychology, and by looking to the fact that many of our high tech is state owned enterprises so it will serve our psychology much better since in other countries it can be hybrid (half owned by multinationals corporations or even fully owned)

And one important recipe to be a great nation is to have the right mentality, it is also the important thing in business and war.

TNI AU Pahami Penolakan Presiden soal Helikopter VVIP

JAKARTA - Wakil Kepala Staf Angkatan Udara Marsda Hadiyan Sumintaatmadja mengatakan bahwa TNI AU akan menjalankan instruksi Presiden Joko Widodo (Jokowi) yang menolak rencana pembelian helikopter VVIP AgustaWestland AW101.

Jokowi menolak pembelian helikopter itu dengan alasan ekonomi dan pertimbangan lainnya.

"Itu keputusan beliau, sudah, kami ikutin. Sebagai kebijakan kepala negara, itu diikuti, kita harus siap laksanakan karena pemerintah punya prioritas," kata Hadiyan di Kompleks Istana Kepresidenan, Jakarta, Kamis (3/12/2015).

Hadiyan mengungkapkan, helikopter AW101 itu masih dalam tahap rencana pemesanan.

Ia berharap, situasi ekonomi nasional segera pulih sehingga TNI AU dapat mengajukan rencana peremajaan alat utama sistem persenjataan (alutsista).

Hadiyan menjelaskan, helikopter AW101 tangguh sebagai alat tempur dan bisa digunakan untuk kegiatan pencarian, evakuasi, dan distribusi logistik saat terjadi bencana.

"Walaupun, sekali lagi, ini bisa juga dikonversi ke (fungsi kendaraan) VVIP," ujarnya.

Menurut Hadiyan, pembelian alutsista dari luar negeri tidak melanggar undang-undang selama alutsista tersebut tidak dapat dibuat di dalam negeri.

"Kami ingin pengadaan alutsista itu utuh, lengkap, dan satu tingkat lebih tinggi dari yang kita punya. Kalau dalam negeri belum bisa bikin, kan boleh dari luar negeri," ungkapnya.

My self dont want to compromize our armed forces capability for the sake of our local industry at the expense of taxpayer. In war only the reliable and effective system who will dictate the battlefield, half assed system will only become a liability.

If our strategic industry want to survive in this business, they cant depend themsrlves at the pity of our government and user. They must act proffesionally and give their best. Unfortunately i cant see that kind of attitude from PT DI.

Several times they compromise our national security with the delay of their delivery of the finished products. So far, the delay of Caracal and Super puma made several SAR squadrons within Air Forces been compromized to do their jobs properly when several occations happened, namely air asia crash, search efforts of super puma who crash in papua, landslide in western java sinabung eruptions and other.

PT DI in my opinion is must getting their share of PUNISHMENT

PT DI in my opinion is must getting their share of PUNISHMENT

PT DI must be punished by making them respecting all contract term from every work they get. Penalty must be given indiscriminately if they delay the delivery.

Indonesia-Japanese defense and foreign ministers to hold meeting


Jakarta (ANTARA News) - Indonesias Defense and Foreign Affairs Ministers will meet their Japanese counterparts in a two-plus-two meeting in Tokyo on December 17.

During a press briefing on Thursday, the Foreign Affairs Ministrys Spokesperson Arrmanatha Nasir said Minister of Foreign Affairs, Retno Marsudi and Minister of Defense Ryamizard Ryacudu would meet Japanese Foreign Minister Fumio Kishida and Defense Minister Gen Nakatani to discuss strategic bilateral cooperation between Indonesia and Japan.

"There are three main clusters to be discussed, comprising of issues on the regional, global and bilateral stage," he stated.

In terms of the regional cluster, Arrmanatha explained the four ministers would discuss the political and defense outlooks in the Asian region, including issues concerning the South China Sea, Japans new military policy, and a follow up of the East Asian Summit (EAS) held in Kuala Lumpur in November 2015.

According to Arrmanatha, the agreement to push regional maritime cooperation was one of the most important outcomes of the 2015 EAS, which was initiated by Indonesia, and the South China Sea dispute was also included.

"The outcome also covers the agreement to establish peace and stability in the region, in which South China Sea was also included," he noted.

With regards to the global cluster, as both Indonesia and Japan are an active contributor to the United Nations Peace Keeping Forces, they will discuss the possibilities of Japan increasing its military participation in international activities after their new military policy had been ratified.

"The two countries will also discuss current global issues, such as terrorism, radicalism and conflicts in the Middle East," added Arrmanatha.

On the bilateral cluster, Arrmanatha said the four ministers would discuss how to boost the economy and defense cooperation.

"The four ministers will discuss how they can increase investment and trade, as well as touch upon issues of our defense composure, including cooperation on joint military training, strategic industrys development and transfer of technology," he noted.

After attending the two-plus-two meeting in Tokyo, Minister Marsudi is scheduled to visit South Korea for Indonesia-South Koreas Joint Ministerial Committee event.

Let stick to the original plan.
Since MEF 1 there's no plan to acquire VIP helicopter and the current platform still have years of operational hours.
Another thing is that according to the Air Force plan, the Cougars/Caracal will be the new CSAR platform.
In other side this AW101 controversy has raised a new issue about the capability and credibility of PTDI hidden to the public for years like their failures to deliver on time (the case of Air Force Super Puma orders) and the fact that the so-called made in Indonesia is very much questionable especially we talk about EC-725 as "Local" option against AW101.

Anyway the president has spoken and i hope there will be evaluation for both side (KSAU and PTDI).
