Indonesian Delegation Test Rocket In Brazil Regarding ToT Purchase of Avibras Astros MK II

11 December 2021



The Indonesian Ambassador to Brasilia DF Mr. Edi Yusup was accompanied by the Defense Attache of the Indonesian Embassy in Brasilia DF Colonel Pnb H.S. Romas received a monitoring and evaluation team from the Indonesian Ministry of Defense, Colonel Tek Dedy Laksmono, SE, ST, MM and Marine Lt. Col. (T) Donny Nainggolan who came to Brasilia DF in order to monitor the trials of the 122 mm caliber rocket made by the sons of the Indonesian nation which is an expert from PT. Pindad and PTDI.

In the test-firing of rockets carried out in Formosa, a small town located in the north east of Brasilia, approximately 90 km away, 5 rockets were fired from 10 rockets made.

The target of the implementation of the test is to check the expected range of more than 30 km. In these experiments all rockets reached a distance of more than 31 km. This is a brilliant step for the nation's children.

This program is part of the collaboration between Avibras and the Ministry of Defense which is obliged to provide Transfer of Technology to Indonesia as part of the purchase contract for Astros MK II which was purchased by the Indonesian Army.

Not sure this was posted b4 but parking it here given its significance to naval construction and Sgs naval build-up in particular:

Basically, Sg can 3d print warships and/or warship parts in future. It is a more efficient/faster way of construction with high quality control and (so long the templates are accurate) near-zero defect.

Beautiful...

Whatttt???

One more country is modernizing its naval fleet with Type 31 frigates

January 3, 2022, by Fatima Bahtić

In an effort to modernize its naval fleet, Indonesia plans to build two frigates based on the Royal Navy’s Type 31 design (marked also as Arrowhead 140) at Indonesian shipyards.

Babcock International, the UK-based firm building the Type 31 frigates signed an export design contract with PT PAL Indonesia (Persero), a state-owned enterprise that builds and maintains ships for military and commercial use.

PT PAL received a contract from Indonesia to build two Iver Huitfeldt class-variant frigates in April 2020. However, the contract became effective in May this year. The company plans to implement the Type 31 design on these vessels.

Live so long believe 100% in the suzerainty of his state as US clients state.

never realized Indo claim a de jure leadership role in ASEAN

Our Country should also participate on the Project too !!!!!!!!!

KF-21 and Stingray-X Official Introduction As Manned & Unmanned Combined Operation

2021/12/23 11:35:48

The military has formalized a plan to combine the operation of a domestic fighter KF-21 and a domestic unmanned stealth fighter, the Stingray-X.

The Ministry of National Defense announced on the 23rd that this was explained in the business promotion plan for next year, which was reported in writing to President Moon Jae-in on the 20th.

The Ministry of National Defense said, "The name of the KF-21 was decided in the sense that it is a Korean fighter that will protect the Korean Peninsula in the 21st century." We are also working on introducing it,” he explained.

“The domestic stealth unmanned fighter is being developed by the National Defense Science Research Institute under the name of ‘Stingray-X’. It uses AI (artificial intelligence) to penetrate the enemy air defense network on its own, or strike the radar, and engage in a dogfight with an advanced unmanned system. "The dream and hope of a Korean-style unmanned stealth fighter based on the KF-21 platform to protect Korean airspace is approaching reality," he said.

The Ministry of National Defense also said, “The KF-21 is expected to make a big mark in the Korean aviation industry. The 21st was an opportunity to give hope that ‘it can be done’ to our lives exhausted by COVID-19. We expect to have collateral economic effects through exports in the future.”

A newly developed long-range air-to-ground missile is mounted on the KF-21.

The Ministry of National Defense introduced that "long-range air-to-ground missiles are being developed with the goal of having superior stealth performance and longer range than similar missiles in advanced countries."

The Ministry of National Defense continued, "As a next-generation weapon system with precision strike capability against key strategic objectives, it is expected to be operated by the KF-21 in the future." Its superior performance and low cost compared to Taurus will be a green light for exports.”
