The United States has imposed arms embargo against Indonesia’s policy is to never lose a large number of orders. According to U.S. Defense News 17, reported that due to fear once again been an arms embargo, coupled with too much money to buy weapons, the United States and Europe, Indonesia will turn its attention to the procurement of weapons and high-performance, flexible payment method in China and Russia. The article revealed that Indonesia has expressed interest in buying, F -10 and the “Fierce Dragon” fighter.
The article said that Indonesia will be held November 19 to 22 in the capital Jakarta Da Halin Air Force Base to host the 2008 defense exhibition in Indonesia. The defense exhibition organized by the Indonesian Ministry of National Defense is expected there will be more than 400 exhibitors. Worth noting that the United States did not come to the meeting to send a large-scale exhibition pavilions, as at present, only a few U.S. companies register.
In sharp contrast, Russia’s Sukhoi Design Bureau of weapons in this show, “a big show of fist”, apart from displaying a strong fighting force Su -35 “Super Flanker” fighter jets and Su-30MK2 fighters, will also be Show Sukhoi Super Jet 100 advanced medium-range passenger aircraft.
Article analysis pointed out that the main reason for this strong contrast may be related to the procurement in Indonesia in recent years, the focus shifted from the United States and Russia about. The article said that Indonesia had been subjected to the United States and Europe has been a lingering fear of the arms embargo. While Europe and the United States respectively in 2000 and 2005 lifted the arms embargo against Indonesia, but Indonesia procured from the U.S. C-130 transport aircraft, F-16 fighters and F-5 fighter jets, because the delay is not related to spare parts, seriously affected maintenance upgrades to the aircraft.
In such circumstances, China and Russia began to become Indonesia’s major arms supplier. Expensive compared to U.S. and European weapons, China and Russia’s weapons are not only high performance but lower price. Indonesia reportedly currently being purchased from Russia, “Kilo” class submarines, discuss issues, and to buy Chinese F -10 fighter, as well as China and Brazil jointly developed by the FC-1 “Fierce Dragon” (the Palestinian side, code-named “Thunder”) fighter performance out of interest.
In addition, Indonesia, procurement of arms from China and Russia, can be used barter, hire purchase and other payment methods, you can greatly reduce the pressure on their payments. This year, by the global financial crisis, Indonesia’s defense budget of 3.095 billion U.S. dollars from the previous reduced to 3.036 billion U.S. dollars, in this context, a flexible procurement method to Indonesia more attractive.
The article said that in 2003 Indonesia had ordered five Russia’s Sukhoi Design Bureau developed the Su-Su -27 fighter with 5 -30 “Flanker” fighter. Indonesia and China have also been on the joint production of military vehicles, tanks and missile consultations.
