Indonesia to homeport newly commissioned Type 209/1400 submarine in Central Sulawesi

Ridzwan Rahmat - IHS Jane's Navy International

03 August 2017


Key Points
•The Indonesian Navy has commissioned its first new submarine in 36 years
•The diesel-electric platform’s base in Central Sulawesi will give it better access to disputed maritime areas in the region

The Indonesian Navy (Tentara Nasional Indonesia – Angkatan Laut: TNI-AL) will homeport its newly commissioned Type 209/1400 diesel-electric submarine (SSK) at the Palu Naval Base in the Watusampu province of Central Sulawesi, a source from the service confirmed with Jane’s on 3 August.

The vessel, which has been named KRI Nagapasa with pennant number 403, was officially handed over to the TNI-AL by South Korean shipbuilder Daewoo Shipbuilding and Marine Engineering (DSME) on 2 August, and commissioned on the same day by the TNI-AL. In attendance at the vessel’s commissioning ceremony, which was held at DSME’s Okpo shipyard on Geoje Island in South Korea, was Indonesian Defence Minister Ryamizard Ryacudu, and TNI-AL chief Admiral Ade Supandi. Nagapasa will come under the establishment of the TNI-AL’s Eastern Fleet (Komando Armada RI Kawasan Timur: KOARMATIM).

Citing TNI-AL and DSME sources, Jane’s first revealed on 27 July that Nagapasa will be handed over on 2 August after a delay of more than four months. DSME originally indicated in March 2016, during Nagapasa ’s launching ceremony that the boat will be handed over in March 2017. The company has since attributed the delays to “the application of upgrades and modification on the submarine” without further elaborating what these modifications are, citing confidentiality concerns.

Huile de palme et café contre des Sukhoi Su-35 !



L'entreprise de commerce d'État indonésienne PT Perusahaan Perdagangan Indonésie et le conglomérat d'Etat russe Rostec ont signé un accord préliminaire pour échanger des avions de combat Sukhoi Su-35 contre des produits tels que de l'huile de palme et du café et du thé, a déclaré le ministère indonésien du commerce.

Un mémorandum d'accord (MoU) a été signé à Moscou et des détails supplémentaires sur l'accord attendu seront annoncés dans les prochains jours par les ministres indonésiens du commerce et de la défense, a annoncé ce dimanche le ministre indonésien du commerce, Imam Pambagyo.

Finalisation du contrat :

Cet accord va ainsi boucler l’accord sur la vente de 11 Sukhoi Su-35 « Flanker-E » destiné à l’Indonésie. Le choix avait été annoncé en septembre 2015. Les avions en concurrence étaient: le Rafale de Dassault Aviation, le Lockheed-Martin F-16 « Viper », l’Airbus Eurofighter T3 et le Saab Gripen E. Il semble que le prix a joué un rôle déterminant dans le choix.

Le Sukhoi Su.35 :

Le Su-35 est un appareil de la génération 4++. Les caractéristiques de l'avion comprennent une nouvelle avionique numérique avec fusion des données, un nouveau réseau d'antennes radar progressive avec une longue portée de détection et de cibles aériennes. Son noyau est le système de gestion de l'information (SGI), qui intègre les sous-systèmes fonctionnels, logiques, d'information et de logiciels en un complexe unique qui assure l'interaction entre l'équipage et l'équipement. L'IMS comprend deux ordinateurs centraux numériques, dispositifs de commutation et de l'information. Le pilote dispose de deux écrans MFI affichage multi-fonctions de 9x12 pouces et une résolution de 1400x1050 pixels.

Le noyau du Su-35 dispose de deux doubles radars en bande X en réseau, à antennes progressives Irbis-E, soit un N-12 à l’avant et un N-011 dans la queue arrière. A l’avant le N-12 est monté sur une unité de commande hydraulique à deux étapes (en azimut et en rouleau). Le dispositif d'antenne scanne par un faisceau électronique dans l'azimut et l'angle d'élévation dans les secteurs non inférieure à 60°. L'unité d'entraînement en deux étapes électro-hydraulique tourne en outre l'antenne par des moyens mécaniques à 60 ° en azimut et 120 ° en roulis. Ainsi, en utilisant la commande électronique et mécanique tour supplémentaire de l'antenne, l'angle de braquage maximal du faisceau peut atteindre 120 °. Le radar Irbis-E détecte les cibles aériennes jusqu’à une portée maximale de 400 km. Le tout avec une nouvelle génération d'optique frontale.

La durée de vie de la cellule est de 6’000 heures de vol, soit un cycle de vie de 30 années d'exploitation. La durée de vie assignée des moteurs AL-117S dérivé de l’AL-31F avec poussée vectorielle est de 4’000 heures.

Indonesia To Upgrade F-16 Fighter Jets


02:45 PM, September 9, 2017


F-16 B Block 15 OCU belongs to Squadron No 3 Indonesian Air Force with camouflage colour (ANTARA photo)


Indonesian Air Force will upgrade its fleet of F-16 Falcon fighter jets stationed at Roesmin Nurjadi airforce base with improved avionic systems at the Iswahjudi Air Force Base, East Java.

The F-16 A/B Block 15 OCU fighter aircraft, which are on duty at the Roesmin Nurjadi AFB are planned to be replaced with F-16 C/D Block 52ID that are available at the Iswahjudi Base since last year, Antara news agency reports Friday. The replacement process for US-made aircraft will take place in several stages until April 2018.

"The aircraft's avionic systems will be improved or upgraded at Iswahjudi," Information Dept Head of Air Force, Rear Air Marshall Jemy Trisonjaya, was quoted as saying.

Trisonjaya said that the plan aims to replace 16 Fighting Falcon aircraft to strengthen the Roesmin Nurjadin Base's capabilities, while the existing A/B-type aircraft will be upgraded at the Iswahjudi Base.

It was reported early this year that Indonesian F-16A/B fighters stationed at Iswahyudi Air Base will get Sniper Advanced Targeting Pods (ATP) sooner.

Indonesian Air Force operates two variants of F-16. They are General Dynamics F-16 A/B Block 15 OCU that procured under Project Peace Bima Sena I and F-16 C/D Block 52ID which were an upgraded version from F-16 Block 32 specially for Indonesia.

Video: Indonesian Marine Corps staged military training exercises with BTR-4M

By Dylan Malyasov - Nov 13, 2017 | Indonesia , Ukraine



Read news from Defence Blog at Flipboard.com | Subscribe to the newsletter from Defence Blog

Five amphibian APCs BTR-4M, supplied by Ukraine to Indonesia in 2016, continue to be successfully operated by the Marine Corps. That was reported by spetstechnoexport.com.

The Indonesian edition “Detik News” has published a special report on the exploitation of the latest Ukrainian APCs by Marine Corps. According to Marines, the main advantages of Ukrainian APCs are reliability, multi-purpose capability and ease of use.

During the sea trainings, Marines along with representatives of the BTR-4 developer Kharkiv Morozov Machine Building Design Bureau and supplier SFTE “SpetsTechnoExport”, have been conducting a special trainings to improve Marines practice of BTR-4 afloat maneuvering during high-waves.

Right afterward, at firing ground the crew of each BTR-4M hit successfully all targets at specified distances from a 30mm automatic gun ZTM-1 and 7.76mm machine gun PKT, that was quite a good showcase of accuracy rate of Ukrainian weapons. The Marine Corps Deputy Commander, who observed the trainings, was frankly impressed by the efficiency of the modern digital sighting and firing control system.

Visionary, there is very important for the Indonesian Marine Corps to operate a wheeled 8×8 formula APCs, which are fast, light, easy to maintain and operate at narrow asphalt routes. Moreover, after hundreds kilometers in mountainous terrains without any changes in the configuration they can not only overcome the water obstacles, but cross the sea on tens of kilometers as well.

Some media has reported about BTR-4 hull roll in the sea, but the military emphasizes that nothing similar takes place with the BTR-4M. Even during maneuvering on up to 1 meter waves, the movement of combat vehicles remained smooth and stable, BTRs with two types of combat modules immersed evenly in water without any vehicle hull roll or misalignment.

Upon completion of the training, the Marine Corps Deputy Commander entrusted gratitude to Ukrainian armourers for the production of a reliable equipment for Indonesia.

“SpetsTechnoExport” will continue to introduce the latest developments of the Ukrainian defense industry in international markets. BTR-4M for the Indonesian Marine Corps is a good case of a customized product for our specific partner: SpetsTechnoExport customized the standard configuration of BTR-4 to the requirements of Indonesian Marines. Other modifications of the BTR-4 will also be adapted and produced with the support and participation of our company”, – Pavlo Barbul, Director of SpetsTechnoExport said.

Should be noted that since the beginning of 2017, five BTR-4M have successfully passed all trial tests, participated in a 100-kilometer march in mountainous terrains. Following the results of those tests, a Protocol on performing functional tests was signed. The special committee of the Ministry of Defence of Indonesia has confirmed, that BTR-4M comply with all evaluation specifications of the Protocol and APC’s were accepted into operation by the Marine Corps.

The production and supply of five BTR-4M was managed within a framework of the contract, signed in early 2014 between the Ministry of Defence of Indonesia and Ukrainian state foreign trade company “SpetsTechnoExport” (trade company of the “Ukroboronprom”).

Indonesia receives first Apache Guardian attack helos, says report

Gabriel Dominguez - Jane's Defence Weekly

20 December 2017

The Indonesian Army (Tentara Nasional Indonesia-Angkatan Darat: TNI-AD) received on 19 December the first three of eight AH-64E Apache Guardian attack helicopters ordered from the United States, according to local media reports.

Indonesian news website detikNews, which published a photograph that same day showing one of the helicopters being unloaded from a US Air Force Boeing C-17 Globemaster III transport aircraft, reported that the remaining five platforms are to be delivered in 2018.

In January 2015 the US Department of Defense awarded Boeing a USD296 million contract to supply Indonesia with eight AH-64E Apache Guardians. The contract represents the largest US sale of a new military platform to Indonesia since Washington lifted an arms embargo imposed on the Southeast Asian country from the 1990s until 2005.

Lockheed Martin was then contracted to supply the helicopters with fire-control sensors in the form of eight Lot 9 Modernised Target Acquisition Designations/Sight Pilot Night Vision Sensors (M-TADS/PNVS), as well as spares.

The latest development took place a day after Jane’s reported that Boeing had offered to expand industrial co-operation with Indonesia in support of the country’s programme to supply Apache Guardians and CH-47F Chinook heavy-lift transport helicopters.

The Ministry of Defence (MoD) in Jakarta said on 13 December that Defence Minister Ryamizard Ryacudu had met with Boeing’s Regional Sales Executive Yeong-Tae Pak to discuss co-operation on both procurement programmes.

Jane’s understands that the TNI-AD has a requirement for a total of 16 Apaches and that the contract for the initial eight aircraft includes options for the acquisition of an additional batch.

The Indonesian government has acquired four strike-capable Wing Loong I medium-altitude, long-endurance unmanned aerial vehicles (MALE UAVs) from Chinese state-owned aerospace and defence company Aviation Industry Corporation of China (AVIC).

A contract for the aircraft was signed in 2017, and the UAVs will be operated by the Indonesian Air Force’s (Tentara Nasional Indonesia – Angkatan Udara’s: TNI-AU’s) Aviation Squadron 51 (Skadron Udara 51), multiple sources from within the TNI headquarters in Cilangkap confirmed separately with Jane’s between 22 and 25 February.

Aviation Squadron 51 is based near the city of Pontianak in West Kalimantan, and the unit shares a runway with the Supadio International Airport. The squadron currently operates Israeli-made Aerostar tactical unmanned aircraft system (UAS) equipped with stabilised, gimbal-mounted electro-optic and infrared (EO/IR) sensor for surveillance missions. With the induction of the Wing Loong I, the unit will be Indonesia’s first composite UAV squadron with two different aircraft types.

The Wing Loong I was developed and manufactured by AVIC’s Chengdu Aircraft Design and Research Institute (CADI) subsidiary. It has a length of 8.7 m, a height of 2.8 m, and features a wingspan of 14 m. The aircraft has a maximum take-off weight (MTOW) of 1,150 kg and a payload capacity of 200 kg.

The UAV is powered by one piston engine, and has a service ceiling of 7,500 m (24,600 ft). It has a maximum range of approximately 108 n miles (200 km), and an endurance of about 20 hours. Payloads that can go on board the Wing Loong I include the DH-3010 search-and-rescue (SAR) radar, and the AVIC Luoyang LE380 EO/IR turret.

L’Indonésie prévoit d’acquérir plus de Su-35 !



L'armée de l'air indonésienne a pris la décision d'affecter 16 avions de combat à chaque escadron. De fait, le pays prévoit de passer commande pour plus de Sukhoi Su-35 « Flanker-E ». En effet, le contrat signé le 14 février dernier porte sur un premier lot de 11 Sukhoi Su-35. Ce contrat devrait être suivi d'un autre pour cinq autres Su-35 russes dans quelques années.

Rappel :

C’est en septembre 2015 que l’ministère indonésien de la Défense (MoD) a choisi le Sukhoi Su-35 «Flanker-E » pour remplacer les actuels Northrop F-5E Tiger II de la Force aérienne. Ce programme représente la première commande à l'exportation du Su-35. Les forces aériennes indonésiennes exploitent actuellement une flotte mixte d'appareils russes composée de Su-27SK, Su-27SKM, Su-30MK et de Su-30MK2, achetés par étapes depuis 2003.

Le Sukhoi Su.35 :

Key Points
•The Indonesian Navy is establishing a new unmanned naval aviation squadron
•Formation will initially operate the ScanEagle system that is being provided under a US assistance package

The Indonesian Navy (Tentara Nasional Indonesia – Angkatan Laut: TNI-AL) is establishing a new squadron to oversee the service’s unmanned naval aviation requirements.

TNI-AL sources told Jane’s that the new squadron will be known as Skadron Udara 700 (Aviation Squadron 700) and it will be based in Juanda Surabaya. The first equipment to be operated by Skadron Udara 700 would include the Insitu ScanEagle surveillance unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV).

Indonesia is currently anticipating the delivery of four Insitu ScanEagle UAVs and associated equipment, from the US government. The UAVs are being provided under a grant by the US government under a capacity-building programme for Southeast Asian navies known as the Maritime Security Initiative (MSI).

The MSI programme was first revealed by then US secretary of defense Ashton Carter at the 2015 iteration of the Shangri-La Dialogue in Singapore. The initiative seeks to improve maritime surveillance capabilities of Washington’s partners in the region: Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines, and Vietnam. The Philippines took delivery of six ScanEagle UAVs, which have been delivered as part of the MSI programme, in March 2018.

The Indonesian MSI package seeks to specifically improve the country’s maritime patrol capabilities, intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance integration, and equipment maintenance capacity. The aim is to ensure that Jakarta has the capacity to adequately safeguard its maritime territories and economic resources, and contribute to regional security and stability, according to a note on the MSI programme published on a US government website.

Indonesia equips second KCR-60M attack craft with Chinese-made naval weapon

Ridzwan Rahmat, Singapore - Jane's Navy International

16 July 2018


Test-firings of the Type 630 CIWS were conducted on board in July 2018. Source: TNI-AL


Key Points
•Indonesia has removed missile launchers from its second KCR-60M fast attack craft, and replaced these with a Chinese-made naval gun
•The vessel has also been equipped with Chinese-made fire-control sensors and a combat management system

The Indonesian Navy (Tentara Nasional Indonesia – Angkatan Laut, or TNI-AL) has equipped its second KCR-60M fast attack craft, KRI Tombak (629), with a Chinese-made Type 630 30 mm close-in weapon system (CIWS) turret.

Tombak is the second-known KCR-60M vessel that has been modified to carry the six-barrelled weapon system. First-of-class KRI Sampari (628) received the same CIWS type in late 2017. Jane’s has been made to understand that both ships underwent the modifications at state-owned shipbuilder PT PAL’s facilities in Surabaya in a process supervised by engineers from China.

The Type 630 is essentially a Chinese version of the Russian-developed AK-630. It is being marketed by China Shipbuilding Trading Company (CSTC) as the “NG-18 30 mm six-barrelled naval gun”. It can engage low-flying aircraft at distances of up to 2,500 m, sea-skimming projectiles at up to 1,300 m, and can fire between 4,500 and 5,000 rds/min.

To accommodate the weapon system, missile launchers on both Tombak and Sampari have been removed, with the Type 630 turret installed on a pedestal at the stern position where a rigid hull inflatable boat (RHIB) used to be positioned.

The RHIB has now been repositioned slightly forward to occupy the space that was previously installed with diagonally mounted missile launchers. These launchers were meant to have provided the vessel with anti-ship missile capabilities, and could deploy weapons such as the Chinese-made C-705.

In line with the installation of the Type 630, both Tombak and Sampari have also been equipped with Chinese-made fire-control sensors and combat management systems (CMS).

La gratitude de la MINUSCA à l’égard du génie indonésien


Sa mission au quotidien est de faciliter la mobilité et les conditions de travail des personnels civils et militaire, des humanitaires et enfin des populations centrafricaines. Par la construction de routes, des ponts et de bases pour ne citer que cela, la Compagnie de génie indonésienne de la MINUSCA est chaque jour à pied d’œuvre pour assurer de meilleures conditions d’installation, de travail et de circulation des personnes et des biens en République centrafricaine.

Depuis son déploiement en aout 2017, comme l’indique son commandant, le Lieutenant-colonel Chotman Jumei Arisandy, la Compagnie génie indonésienne, forte de 200 éléments, a donné vie à 54 projets et apporté un support à près de 247 sollicitations, au nombre desquels l’installation de postes de combats et d’observation, la mise en place de lignes de défense et la construction de bases militaires temporaires.



C’est donc pour marquer la reconnaissance de l’ONU pour sa contribution depuis 2014 qu’une cérémonie a été organisée en son honneur, ce mardi 24 juillet 2018 à sa base de Bangui Mpoko. Les 200 soldats de la paix de ce quatrième contingent de la Compagnie de génie indonésienne, dont la mission s’achève en RCA, ont ainsi eu droit à la médaille de la MINUSCA. C’était en présence du Représentant spécial du Secrétaire général des Nations Unies, Parfait Onanga-Anyanga, du commandant de la Force, le Général Balla Keita, ainsi que du directeur des services d’appui à la MINUSCA, Milan Trojanovic, et du commandant de la mission militaire de formation de l'Union européenne (EUTM-RCA), outre plusieurs personnels civils, de police et militaires de la Mission.

« Aucun développement, aucune opération de maintien de la paix ne peut se faire efficacement sans un minimum d'infrastructures en place. […]. La Compagnie d’ingénierie indonésienne a joué un rôle essentiel pour faciliter notre mobilité collective dans toute la République centrafricaine, dans un environnement très difficile », a reconnu le chef de la MINUSCA qui présidait la rencontre. La contribution de l’Indonésie, a-t-il poursuivi, s’est également illustrée au cours d’opérations militaires telles que l’opération Sukula dans le troisième arrondissement de Bangui, ainsi que diverses actions civilo-militaires au bénéfice des populations de leurs zones de responsabilité. Autre sujet de satisfaction, la discipline dans les rangs du contingent en matière d’exploitation et d’abus sexuels : « permettez-moi de saisir cette occasion pour réitérer mes remerciements pour vos efforts visant à respecter la politique de tolérance zéro et à défendre l'éthique et les valeurs des Nations Unies, conformément à la politique du Secrétaire général. Je vous encourage à continuer à respecter ces normes élevées de conduite et de discipline. »

La première participation de l’Indonésie aux opérations de la MINUSCA remonte au mois de mai 2014. Outre la République centrafricaine, le pays a pris part aux efforts de l’ONU pour la paix au Liban, au Darfour, au Mali, en République démocratique du Congo et au Sahara occidental. « Il envisages de fournir 4000 personnels de maintien de la paix d'ici à 2019 ; une augmentation par rapport à l’effectif actuel qui s’élève à 2.694 casques bleus », comme le fait valoir le Lieutenant-colonel Chotman Jumei Arisandy.
