One Q: Why the choice of this camo on Indo fighter jets? History on it? or?

FYI, The US armed forces adapted our camo for their aggressor squadron. So IMHO it is quite a testament of its effectiveness in Air War

Indonesian air force planning new military base in Batam

The Indonesian Air Force has proposed to set up a new military air base at Hang Nadim International Airport in Batam, the Jakarta Post reported. The new air base is in line with President Joko Widodo’s order to safeguard Indonesia’s borders and uphold national sovereignty.

The Batam base would be the third Air Force base in Riau province, after the Raja Haji Fisabilillah base in Tanjung Pinang and the Raden Sadjad base in Natuna.

Hang Nadim’s airport management team said it received a proposal from the Air Force for a two-hectare plot in the airport’s complex to develop a fighter jet home base. The plot would include facilities for an apron and a hangar capable of accommodating four F-16 fighters.

“The Air Force, via its base in Tanjung Pinang, sent the proposal in March. We have not yet responded to it, as we will first set up a special team,” Hang Nadim’s general operations manager Suwarso reportedly said on Tuesday (May 2).

“The reason to develop (an air base) in Hang Nadim is for the sake of sovereignty of the state and to support access of jet fighters to Natuna, particularly because of Batam’s strategic position,” said Mr Suwarso, who like many Indonesians go by one name.

He said the special team will now study the proposal, as it will affect Hang Nadim’s ability to serve as an alternative airport for Singapore and Malaysia based on international civil aviation guidelines.

As an alternative airport, Hang Nadim collects around 3 billion rupiah (S$314,570) for landing and parking fees annually.

On its Twitter account @_TNIAU, the Indonesian Air Force on Tuesday posted that: “Indonesia’s Navy and Air Force already have bases in Tanjung Pinang, so a plan to set up base in Batam must be based on a serious analysis, since it directly borders on Singapore”.

The Widodo administration has moved to safeguard border sovereignty and combat illegal fishing.

The government has sunk more than 300 vessels over the last three years including some from China, which claims that the waters surrounding the gas-rich Natuna Islands are part of its traditional fishing grounds. The move had led to a spike in tensions with Beijing, after an unusually public spat in March last year over the collision between the Chinese Coast Guard and a Chinese fishing boat being towed by the Indonesian authorities. Three months later, Indonesia’s navy detained a Chinese vessel off the Natunas and arrested seven fishermen.

The Indonesian government announced last year it would build a major joint military base in Natuna waters in Riau province.

Mr Widodo’s government has also indicated that it wants to reclaim control of the Flight Information Region above the Riau Islands from Singapore.

Mr Hikmahanto Juwana, an international law expert at the University of Indonesia said he welcomed the proposal for a third air base in Riau, as it would help the government improve supervision of border regions and tackle illegal poaching by foreigners.

“Our Air Force needs a hangar and home base for the jet fighters closer to Natuna to support their activities around Natuna waters,” he noted.

Jakarta (ANTARA News) - The Indonesian Battalion (Indobatt) 03 that joins the United Nations Mission In Darfur (Unamid) holds routine patrols as a part of the UN mission in Sudan.

The Commander of Indobatt-03, Lt.Col. Syamsul Alam, stated in an electronic message received here on Wednesday that the patrols are conducted every day during day and night using Anoa (APC) vehicle, trucks and ambulances.

"The patrols are carried out by Company A, B, C and D. The patrolled areas are Sandikoro, Khaskhasa, Jhokana, Amara Jadid, Krinding, Ojejei, Bore Hole and Doroti," he explained.

Syamsul Alam said the Garuda XXXV-C / Unamid Corps has been known to be friendly, polite, and mingle to the locals, which are a real effort in recovering the trauma of civilians.

The Indobatt-03 Commander stated that the assignment in the country has helped the Garuda Peace Corps in carrying out this peace mission abroad.

"The Garuda XXXV-C / Unamid Corps is the third task force for Unamids mission in West Darfur (Sector West), and will carry out its duties until April 2018," he said.

Syamsul added, the Indonesian Garuda Peace Corps has been known by the locals in the Darfur region since two years ago when its first mission began.

"The Indonesian troops are easily accepted in this mission area because they are friendly to civilians, especially children," he said.

In addition to serving as a peacekeeping force, the Garuda Indobatt-03 also carries out Civil Military Coordination (Cimic) programs, including distributing Islamic alms to the locals and providing mass medical treatment.(*)

RI-Russia Relationship, is a Strategic Relationship

Hubungan Indonesia dan Rusia merupakan hubungan yang bersifat strategis. Oleh karenanya Rusia sangat memahami hubungan yang telah terjalin ini, khususnya yang berkaitan dengan kontrak-kontrak yang sedang berjalan maupun yang akan berjalan diantara kedua negara.

Demikian dikatakan Deputi Dirut Rosoboronexport Mr. Sergey Goreslavsky saat bertemu dengan Sekjen Kemhan Laksdya TNI Dr. Widodo di kantor Sekjen Kemhan Jakarta, Rabu (3/5). Dalam pertemuan tersebut Deputi Dirut Rosoboronexport mengungkapkan bahwa tugas utama delegasi Rusia yang hadir ke Kemhan saat ini adalah untuk membahas bagaimana menyelesaikan proyek-proyek yang sedang berjalan dengan segera.

Lebih lanjut dikatakan delegasi Rusia bahwa dalam pengadaan proyek Sukhoi SU-35 telah melewati beberapa tahapan. Namun ada satu tahapan yang belum direalisasikan yaitu Sidang Tim Evaluasi Pengadaan (TEP). Diharapkan hal tersebut dapat direalisasikan dalam waktu dekat, mengingat kerjasama ini merupakan “Pilot Project” bagi Rusia. Hal ini dikarenakan banyaknya ketentuan baru yang menyertai proyek pengadaan SU-35 ini seperti komponen off–set, imbal dagang dan pendanaan.

Menanggapi hal tersebut, Sekjen mengatakan bahwa kehadiran delegasi Rusia di Kemhan saat ini menunjukkan keseriusan kedua negara untuk membangun kerjasama. Keseriusan Rusia terhadap pembangunan kerjasama alutsista Indonesia tidak hanya ditunjukkan saat ini saja tetapi sejak perang kemerdekaan Indonesia.

Terkait dengan pengadaan SU-35, Sekjen menjelaskan bahwa tahapan yang belum sempat terealisasi yaitu TEP karena Kemhan masih menunggu kepastian dari Kementerian Perdagangan terkait dengan imbal dagang dan Transfer of Technologi (ToT). Untuk itu Sekjen Kemhan berharap semua pihak yang terkait dapat membantu proyek ini agar dapat segera terwujud, seperti TNI AU, Kementerian Perdagangan dan Rosoboronexport Rusia. Tentunya sesuai dengan kapasitas dan fungsinya masing-masing.

Turut hadir dalam pertemuan tersebut selain pejabat Kemhan dan Kemlu, juga hadir diantaranya Atase Pertahanan Rusia untuk Indonesia Mr. Nikolay Nikolayuk, Deputi Dirut Rostec Mr. Yuri Maakev dan Perwakilan Rostec di Indonesia Mr. Michael Korotaev..

Diantara delegasi Rusia yang hadir saat ini merupakan anggota working group untuk imbal dagang. Direncanakan setelah malakukan pertemuan dengan Sekjen Kemhan, delegasi Rusia juga akan melakukan pertemuan dengan pimpinan di Kementerian Perdagangan. (ERA/SGY)

Germany, Turkey to join submarine project in Indonesia

A Düsseldorf-based newspaper, Handelsblatt, has reported that ThyssenKrupp, a steel company that also produces underwater craft, and a Turkish partner are in negotiations to partner up to take part in Indonesia's submarine project.

According to the report, ThyssenKrupp Marine System (TKMS), a subsidiary of the steel company which established a regional office in Turkey in 2013 to reinforce its operations, and a Turkish company, whose name has not been officially revealed, are planning to bid for the Indonesia's submarine project.

The joint move comes as competition with the TKMS's French rival DCNS as well as Chinese and South Korean companies that are also expected to submit proposals for the project.

Despite the fact that the name of the Turkish partner remains undisclosed, it had been previously reported last month that Turkey's Gölcük Shipyard in Kocaeli province submitted a proposal to the Indonesian army for a Type 214 submarine. According to the reports, the Gölcük Shipyard will host a group of officials coming from the Indonesian capital, Jakarta.

For almost the past 50 years, the Turkish navy has been ordering submarines from the Ruhr Group's shipyards, which today operates under TKMS.

Despite the growing displeasure, Turkey is now expected to cooperate with the TKMS to enter the export business. Together they want to sell submarines to Indonesia, according to the German newspaper, which is believed to have received the Intel from industry insiders.

ThyssenKrupp, which has operations in component technology, elevator technology, and the steel and materials industries, has been operating in Turkey since the late 19th century as the company's ancestor Krupp was active in the country in 1868.

Moreover, Blohm + Voss, the company that built Mustafa Kemal Atatürk's yacht Savarona, was a ThyssenKrupp Group company.

The group's activities focus on the supply of components for the Turkish automotive industry, plant technology and recycling facilities as well as passenger transportation systems including elevators, escalators, moving walkways and passenger boarding bridges.

ThyssenKrupp Marine Systems, with premises in Germany, is part of the Business Area Industrial Solutions of the ThyssenKrupp Group. The company participates in projects with the products in the inventory of ThyssenKrupp Marine Systems and provides systems, spare parts and service support to the Turkish Naval Forces Command.
