Russian Military Buys Ships from Banyuwangi
Zoom Out Zoom In Normal
TEMPO.CO, Banyuwangi - The ship-making industry of Banyuwangi regency has bagged another opportunity to export its ships. One of the regency's producers of high-tech ships, Lundin Industry, is exporting its carbo-tech rigid inflatable boat (RIB) to Russia.

The ship was tested on the waters off Bali Strait today, March 12. Banyuwangi Regent Abdullah Azwar Anas and Lundin Industry director John Lundin took part in the sea trail.

Lundin said the ship's hull measured 38 feet, making it the fastest ship in Indonesia, and possibly even Asia.

"The speed reaches up to 85 knots (160 kmH). It is designed to withstand forces above G7," Lundin said.

According to Lundin, Russia ordered seven units of the ships, and five have been sent.

"Today we tested the sixth ship," he said, adding that the sixth and seventh ships have a maximum speed of 85 knots while the other five have a maximum speed between 50 and 60 knots.

Two other carbo-tech ship models produced by Lundin, he said, have also been used by the military in Sweden and Russia.

"We receive many orders for the military, such as from Bangladesh, Hong Kong, Malaysia, Brunei, Singapore," he said.

Senegal and Côte d’Ivoire have signed a framework agreement covering the sale of an unspecified number of CN235 and NC212 aircraft, PT Dirgantara Indonesia (PTDI) confirmed on 15 April, when it posted an Indonesian media report about the deal on its website.

The report said the agreement was signed by PTDI president Elfien Goentoro and Gaby Peretz, the head of a Belgian company called Air Defence Trading that is acting on behalf of the African countries. It added that the contracts are expected to be finalised in July or August.

The agreement reportedly covers the delivery of aircraft worth USD75 million: a single CN235-220 maritime patrol aircraft (MPA) and two NC212-220 maritime surveillance aircraft for Senegal; and a single CN235-220 transport for Côte d’Ivoire.

Malaysia has signed a contract to convert 3 of its 7 Indonesian Aerospace CN-235 transporters into maritime patrol aircraft.

Indonesian Aerospace the manufacturer of RMAF CN-235s was awarded a three year MRO contract by the government.

What’s interesting is that the MRO contract provided for the conversion of three out of the six CN-235 transporters in service into MPAs. The seventh CN-235 is configured for VIP transport. The eight aircraft was written off after it ditched near Kuala Selangor in Dec. 2016.

However the conversion program will depend on the availibility of funds. Indonesian Aerospace says that it will fit the Thales AMASCOS system on the CN-235s. No word however whether this will be brand new ones or the ones fitted on the King Airs.

Indonesia Eximbank to provide credit facility to PTDI
The Indonesian Export Financing Agency, or Indonesia Eximbank, is set to provide a US$25.5 million export credit facility to state-owned aircraft maker PT Dirgantara Indonesia (PTDI).

Indonesia Eximbank managing director Dwi Wahyudi said on Thursday that PTDI would use the credit facility to export CN-235 turboprop aircraft to Nepal and Senegal. The loan is for one year.

Other than PTDI, state-owned train manufacturer PT Industri Kereta Api (INKA) has also received a credit facility to support the export of its trains to Bangladesh.

PTDI finance director Uray Azhari said that both Nepal and Senegal had ordered the CN-235 for military use. The planes would be customized based on specification requests.

He added that Nepal, a landlocked state in the Himalayas, had asked PTDI to manufacture an airplane able to land on short runways.

Meanwhile, Senegal, a former French colony in West Africa, needed aircraft to reinforce its Maritime Patrol Aircraft (MPA) fleet. As the country has a 531-kilometer coastline and 4,192 square km of territorial seas, maintaining maritime security was important, he said.

"Both countries have also requested that their planes have a vehicle-carrying ability and facilities for VIP passengers. We have to deliver the planes in April 2019," said Uray.

Why not?. Some of Vietnamese system is the world's best, like Viettel's VT-800 drone (used to be flying target).

I am not sure if Viettel's claim is true or not, but Vietnamese (at least north Vietnamese) generally do not brag.

PH Air Force commissions 2 new aircraft from Indonesia
The Philippine Air Force has commissioned two brand new NC212i light transport manufactured by Indonesia.

Elfien Goentoro president of the state-owned manufacturer PT Dirgantara Indonesia formally handed over the aircraft to Defense Secretary Delfin Lorenzana in a ceremony held at Clark Air Base on Tuesday.

“These two aircraft, we’ve been waiting for this for quite sometime when I assumed as Secretary of National Defense. It was about to be delivered but because there were problems with the autopilot, it was delayed,” Lorenzana said in his speech.

But he said the president of the PT Dirgantara was “very much apologetic for the delay.”

The planes, signed through a deal in 2014, were acquired under the AFP modernization program for P850 million.

‘Worth the long wait’

Air Force chief Lt. Gen. Galileo Kintanar Jr. said the acquisition of the aircraft is a big boost from their current fleet of Nomad-22, which they have been using for more than four decades.

“It stems from the urgency to increase our fleet especially we only have three Nomad-22 in the inventory which we have been operating since 1970s or more than four decades ago,” he said.

He said the new platforms are equipped with glass cockpit, modern avionics and autopilot system and could carry almost twice the number of passenger and cargo load of the Nomad.

“It has a longer reach and lower operational cost. It can take off and land in short and unpaved runways which on some days C-295 and C-130 can’t be accommodated,” he added.

“Certainly it has been worth the long wait,” Kintanar said.

The Indonesian-built aircraft is designed for maritime patrol, troop transport, and humanitarian assistance and disaster relief.

“We need more of this. We need this for island to island flights..From Zamboanga to Basilan to Jolo for our short-haul flights. This is ideal for bringing small number of troops and resupplying troops in the field like Pagasa Island (Thitu Island),” Lorenzana said, referring to the country’s biggest outpost in the West Philippine Sea (South China Sea).

Minister of Defense of the Republic of Indonesia General Ryamizard Ryacudu said the delivery of the planes highlight the cooperation of the two countries.

“The acquisition of the aircraft shows our close relations and close cooperation to strengthen our capability to address our common enemies,” he said.
