RI, Japan will agree to defense partnership

The Jakarta Post, Jakarta | World | Tue, February 03 2015, 4:50 PM

Indonesia and Japan will be agreeing to partnerships in the field of defense, particularly in the transfer of Japan-manufactured defense equipment to Indonesia, a top envoy has said.

“There will a memorandum of understanding [MoU] in the field of defense between Indonesia and Japan that will be signed,” Indonesian Ambassador to Japan Yusron Ihza Mahendra said as quoted by Antara news agency in Jakarta on Tuesday.

He said Indonesia’s cooperation with Japan to develop its defense capacity would bring positive impacts to other fields, one of which was the economy.

“If the MoU on defense cooperation could be signed, this would be good for the development of Indonesia’s defense and economy,” said Yusron.

“With the cooperation, Indonesia’s defense will be stronger while our economy will get a kind of a new injection of strength,” he went on.

Yusron said the defense partnerships could also increase Indonesia’s diplomatic strength both in the region and on the international level.

He refused to provide details on when the MoU on Indonesian-Japanese defense cooperation would be signed, except to say that the signing of the agreement would be conducted during upcoming President Joko “Jokowi” Widodo’s visit to Japan.

“President Jokowi will visit Japan. I expect it will be around March,” said Yusron. (ebf)(++++)

HQ-9, I sincerely believe is even too much for our budget. No point getting one battery only to protect one area. We wanted to get a few batteries to cover a wider region

Make no mistake, instead of reducing intrusions i believe there will be more. Why? simple, we install they sure want to test it 
They know we wont shoot and to study our doctrine.

That china did, they put missile defence near taiwan and japan. US come do join practice, china quickly set up signal intelligence station near the missile defence area to gather information on US planes

Yeah
So i think FK-3 suitable because its like a standalone system
Meanwhile this is more for the air defence system of the country

FD2000 not same to HQ-9 

so japan now willing to sell their def tech?    

so japan now willing to sell their def tech?

yes, after they change country Constitution low ....
due to china sentiment,  seem many country hard to buy directly weapon from japan, now mostly look like Japan they doing via technology transfer/cooperation. still take time to see how Japan sell weapon.

ya ya typo but still based on the same system just the radar and missile variant diff

but then again.. i wound prefer getting s-300 PMU2 although the cost is significantly more than china copies

Both Greek pilots on board ejected before crashing, but because by then the aircraft had tipped sideways, they were sent straight against the ground. Their bodies were found outside the hangar.

Australia want to buy the Soryu. The Abe government seems to agree, but the Japanese Navy is reluctant to let the Australian to have the sub. Apparently, some of the technologies in the sub is decades ahead of anything that Australia can some up with, and the Japanese Military don't want to share the secret.

Yes, even offering Australia their Soryu class submarine.

Japan Ends Decades-Long Ban on Export of Weapons

Sukhoi Su-35S fighter to be commissioned in 2015

14:22 February 3, 2015 Interfax

The Sukhoi Su-35S multirole fighter is due to be commissioned this year, Russian Defense Minister Gen. of the Army Sergei Shoigu said.

"The prospective multirole fighter jet, Sukhoi Su-35S, is on a trial run. It is supposed to be commissioned this year," Shoigu said at a Defense Ministry teleconference on Tuesday.

He demanded quality tests of the aircraft and its compliance with performance specifications.

"This is a primary objective of the year," the minister remarked.

The Russian Defense Ministry has described Su-35S is a profoundly modernized super-maneuverable multirole fighter jet of the 4++ generation. The use of fifth-generation technologies makes it superior to other fighters in its class. The jet boasts much better performance characteristics than similar planes, as well as improved avionics. It outdoes similar planes in many technical parameters.

The plane is powered by a thrust vectoring engine which significantly improves its maneuverability. The fighter can simultaneously engage several types of targets. It has modern control and crew life support systems

now now is see we need more UCAV ASAP..... too many sea threat like ship robbery around coast mersing， than our ship need many hrs to location... u know right so slow our kedah class.
if we can get Yilong UCAV, cost just usd 2 million, get 2~3 unit put in Kuantan AB ,
can patrol entire east peninsular coast guard, any case happen, UCAV can reach case location less 1 hrs to recon situation.

u sure indonesia want a destroyer class? can get 2 or 3 frigate with reasonable asw and aaw with tat price tag
not sure how.. last time korea try to get the engine and transmission used on the type 10 for their K2 development  but Japan not interested to sell and Korea have to switch to German. 

u do know right one of their uav just crashed? 
minus pilot quality.. i serious doubt china product quality

Bang i not anti singapore or anything just that we shud not let others intrude our airspace right
If singapore buy so many air defence missiles to defend against us why shouldnt we defend ourselves??

Japan Korea bilateral relations is much more worse than Malaysia-Indonesia though 
Come on, we need something as Flagship for our armadas. To have one or two Destroyer class as the command center for the rest of fleet will give us more options on how to handle threat in near future.
