The Indonesian Navy has confirmed that two US navy vessels that entered Indonesian waters off Natuna Islands in Riau Islands province in June did not breach any regulations.

The vessels, the aircraft carriers the USS Ronald Reagan and the USS George Washington, "conducted innocent passage and thus there was no problem with it," Navy deputy chief of staff Vice Adm. Achmad Taufiqurrahman told The Jakarta Post.

A source at the Navy previously revealed that the USS Ronald Reagan and the USS George Washington entered Indonesian waters in the Malacca Straits without permits, fueling suggestion that their presence was related to the effort to quell Islamic State group activities in the southern Philippines.

On June 14, the USS Ronald Reagan entered Natuna waters and flew a F22 Raptor and chopper in the region. The operation was then voided by the Indonesian Navy.

The carrier left Indonesia’s exclusive economic zone (ZEE) after being shadowed by Indonesian Navy warship the KRI Sultan Hasanuddin.

“After the KRI Sultan Hasanuddin shadowed and communicated with them [officers from the USS Ronald Reagan], [the ship] changed direction and left Indonesia’s territory,” the source told the Post on Friday.

On June 21 at around 9:29 a.m., the USS George Washington crossed near the Philips strait in the northern part of Batam, heading toward the South China Sea.

There was nothing untoward about the vessel’s passage through Batam. (bbs)

Lol.. there's actually a meme that mocks the capability (or, lack thereof) of journalists at distinguishing aircrafts. Depicting that more often than not, they would describe ANY fighter jets' silhouettes as 'F-22', even non-US-made ones..

EDIT:

Found it!!

Earlier, submarines of Project 636 "Varshavianka" produced by the "Admiralty Shipyards" (part of the United Shipbuilding Corporation) were purchased by Vietnam and Algeria. In the export version, the submarines of this project are equipped with the Club-S missile system

The submarines of the Varshavyanka project belong to the third generation, they have a displacement of 3.95 thousand tons, the underwater speed is 20 knots, the depth of immersion is 300 meters, the crew is 52 people.

Looks like based on OS Wifanusa (the one in background)

And it is land based. Differs from Wifanusa which is amphibious.

FYI there will be 11 m wingspan version of OS Wifanusa. The 4,2 m and 6,4 m wingspan already in service by TNI.

DCNS AND PT PAL DEVELOP THEIR COOPERATION TO ADDRESS INDONESIA’S NAVAL PROJECTS
30.06.2017

SSK Scorpene Class [naval-technology]

Following the visit of French President, François Hollande, to Indonesia, DCNS and PT PAL signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to strengthen their cooperation in the submarine and surface ship fields, in accordance with the Indonesian French Defense Dialogue (IFDD).

Indonesia wants to reinforce its naval capacity and is discussing with France to explore projects of submarine and surface ships to be built in Indonesia with a high level of local industrial content, through Indonesian-French long term cooperation.

Following guidance of both governments, DCNS and PT PAL have been cooperating over the past few years to identify the best industrial solution and allowing today to offer a multipurpose submarine from the latest generation of Scorpene Class family, able to perform both shallow and blue water missions. Other opportunities on corvettes and frigates are going to be assessed in the near future.

Following signature of this MoU, DCNS CEO Hervé Guillou declared: “As the European leader in naval combat systems, warship designer and builder, DCNS is committed to establishing long-term partnerships with the Indonesian industry to enhance Indonesia’s local high-tech industrial content. Our cooperation with Indonesia’s largest shipyard PT PAL is a perfect illustration of this ambition and we are looking forward to bringing our strong expertise in technology transfers for complex naval programs to provide an industrial project and develop Indonesian Navy operational capability”.
