SOCHI, Russia (Reuters) – The presidents of Russia and Indonesia signed an agreement on cooperation in the defence sector at a meeting in the Russian Black Sea resort of Sochi on Wednesday, as Moscow seeks to cement its ties with Asian powerhouses amid Western sanctions.

Full details of the deal, signed by Russia’s Vladimir Putin and Indonesia’s Joko Widodo, were not immediately available.

“We have agreed to widen contacts between defence ministries and security agencies,” Putin said at joint briefing with Widodo.

Indonesia’s president said Russia and Indonesia also agreed on exchanges of intelligence information.

Earlier on Wednesday, the head of Russia’s arms export agency Alexander Fomin said that Russia would like to produce military munitions in Indonesia, including shells.

He added that Indonesia was interested in Russian submarines and jets, “however, Russia has rivals, such as United States and China”.

On Tuesday, Kremlin aide Yuri Ushakov said Russia would sign deals with Indonesia to supply unspecified arms and for ammunition to be manufactured under licence.

Russia, the world’s second-largest arms exporter after the United States, plans to sell arms worth $14 billion this year.

Russia’s total portfolio of arms orders currently stands at more than $50 billion.

rumours, Indonesia will take a look at J-31 prospect before deciding with Su-35

J-31?! This is a bad joke right!!
If the air force wanted 5th gen fighter why not pak fa instead
am guessing they're trying to push the price down by looking at other products. and if possible having them compete with each other. it's a pretty normal way of doing things. most procurement is done like this. and i'm pretty sure that all sides understand this.

Sukhois best option for Indonesia, says TNI chief

The Russian-made Sukhoi SU-35 jet is the best choice to secure Indonesia's expansive archipelagic territory, according to the Indonesian Military’s ( TNI ) top brass.

"After discussions and also going through a symposium, the SU-35 is currently rated as the best means of defense to safeguard the vast maritime territory of Indonesia," TNI Chief Gen. Gatot Nurmantyo said on Wednesday.

The military commander however underlined that procurement of the jet fighters was not up to the TNI. The national defense force has come up with a set of recommendations pointing to the selection of the Sukhoi SU-35, following a comprehensive internal meeting involving all levels of the TNI, Gatot said as quoted by Antara.

"Procurement is in the hands of the Defense Ministry, the TNI only conveys its needs," he added, without saying when the symposium that produced the recommendation had occurred.

Gatot said Indonesia’s vast and open maritime territory required sophisticated defense equipment that would enable a rapid response in the face of an incoming threat.

Previously, Defense Minister Ryamizard Ryucudu said President Joko "Jokowi" Widodo would witness the signing of the procurement deal for eight jet fighters in Russia this month as part of Indonesia's plan to renew its primary weapons systems.

Isis: Video shows Indonesian children in Syria playing Daesh-style execution game

The Islamic State (Isis) appears to be brainwashing children by making them play mock execution games. A new IS (Daesh) video apparently shows children staging a fake execution and practising beheading techniques on a teddy bear.

The children, who have been filmed in the 18-second video, are said to be Indonesians living in a shelter in Syria. The video was uploaded on social media with the tag line: "A message for Jokowi [Indonesian President Joko Widodo] and Obama [US President Barack Obama]", AAP reported.

One of the children, who pretends to be the "executioner", is wearing a balaclava and says: "To Jokowi and Obama, these are your soldiers. I will kill them one by one so that the whole world knows that these are for you.

"Allahu Akbar (God is great). Takbir. Allahu Akbar," the boy says.

After issuing the threats, the boy pretends to shoot dead seven other children who are on their knees with their heads bowed. During the mock execution, two children can be seen holding an IS banner.

"Those kids are a whole generation that's lost. There are a lot of suicide bombers that Daesh (IS) have orchestrated — as well as brainwashing the children," activist Sarmad al Jilane was quoted as saying by Sky News.

"They place them in the front line of battles and if they are killed then they are considered to be protecting Daesh lives," Jilane said.

This is not the first time a group of children from Indonesia have been filmed carrying out mock drills. In March 2015, a video apparently showed some children from the country conducting drills with assault rifles.

"Our children will be the children who will go back to the infidel countries to uphold the flags of Laa illaaha illallah [there's no God but Allah]", an adult in the video had said. The video was also believed to be filmed in Syria.

Russia and Indonesia sign defence co-operation agreement
Guy Anderson, London - IHS Jane's Defence Industry
19 May 2016


The presidents of Russia and Indonesia have signed a defence co-operation accord in Sochi, it was reported on 19 May.

Full details of the agreement signed by presidents Vladimir Putin and Joko Widodo were not disclosed. But the heads of state said in a joint statement that they had agreed to widen contacts between defence ministries and security agencies and to conduct an exchange of intelligence information.

In September 2015, IHS Jane's reported that Indonesia was discussing with Moscow the terms of a USD3 billion loan to support its acquisition of Russian military equipment.

Indonesia has previously secured loans from Moscow to procure Kurganmashzavod BMP-3F infantry fighting vehicles, Mil Mi-17-V5 helicopters, Mi-35P helicopters, and Sukhoi combat aircraft.
