Ikr, they still focused on air to air and air to ground roles

Can't blame them oc with all budget limitation that we have

Notes, the thing is from our Army, Air Force and Navy all lacking in basic offensive and lethality power. The Army very lacking in number and qualities of Armor and Artillery, our Navy lacking in number and qualities of Surface combatant warships and Submarine, and our Air Force is severely lacking in number and qualities of Fighter to put the name of Air Force into reality. Platform wise, munition wise, Cavalry and Artillery officers school, Naval seaman academy or Pilot Training school all of them is severely lacking in infrastructure and training regime

Agree that we need both systems (mobile land-based and sea-based)
Yea, and dont forget "umberella". We often forget that fighting unit is less likely to operate alone, coastal def, ashm, trimaran, gun boat, even destroyer wont matter much without decent air support/payung udara. Even one small thing such as radar coverage we still need to work hard to improve it. Fregat AAW bring another level of under-radar coverage area and can act as both AAW/Recon and air protection. Individually each matra might not look that strong, but if we can combine all three with good tactics & strategy even those old howitzer can annoy those warships trying to sail the small chocke point. But again looks like in this age air domination is a must, so lets hope those fighters project we have been work on can be materialized and come out in 36+ numbers 😁

considering there are alternative routes to those considered as choke points, major enemy surface combatants can always opt to bypass those choke points. That is why, for Indonesia the naval battle space will have to be fought and won on the high seas and therefore it is my firm belief that the focus should be on corvette up for surface combatant.

for tank boat itself, i believe it will be a good interdictor to stop piracy, smuggling and terrorist insertion in brown water area

So Indonesian army doesn't operate helicopters older than 30 years, or any other equipment beyond their lifetime?
I mean, helicopter fleet might be relatively young but looking at other equipment i don't see such a policy like the one US or EU adopts.

If maintained well and in a healthy condition, also upgraded by time then why not?

Same here, I'd rather have the armed forces invested their money on more area denial weapons, instead of insisting on brand new expensive weaponry.

Sentry gun / UGCV test from Balitbang Kemhan and PT Ansa Solusitama Indonesia:


Interesting. I hope that this sentry gun / ugcv project won't end up like so many other prototypes that most R&D departments made in the past.
wonder if in the future our Leo 2's gonna have some sort of mothership role for these UGV.

think about loyal wingman but on the ground.

Just hope that our future military leaders and officers have such forward thinking and imagination.

Not just UGVs, but canister launched UAVs (kamikaze or surveillance) are a thing of future. Development of these are crucial as much as a MALE UAV.

Well, sorry I missed it completely.

No. Please dont get me wrong. Since The UGV is still prototype I think the discussion should be in indonesia defence Industries instead of indonesia army thread. But of course if you insist to do so then go a head, please.

The future of US Army might be adopt weapon system that cross-function with other services (USAF, US NAVY). Not anymore about aerial defence/umbrella, The long range precision firing system could also do the pre-emptive and preventive strikes aboard the country. That is why a USAF general had mocked this idea since it seems could take over some of USAF function during the war.
