According to the Indonesian web resource fajaronline.com, on August 3, 2017, on the Indonesian air base Sultan Hasanuddin (Makassar, Sulawesi), the Antonov An-124-100M-150 heavy transport aircraft (registration number UR-82009) two Su-27SK fighters from the 11th Squadron of the 5th Air Force wing of the Indonesian Air Force (based on this airfield) were delivered to the "559 Aircraft Repair Plant" (Baranovichi) OJSC in Belarus (airplanes with Indonesian airborne numbers TS-2701 and TS- 2702).

These Su-27SK fighters with aircraft numbers TS-2701 and TS-2702 (factory numbers 36911040103 and 36911040205) built by KnAAZ were delivered to the Indonesian Air Force in August 2003 together with two Su-30MK two-seat fighters and two Mi-35P combat helicopters under the contract With FSUE Rosoboronexport with a total value of $ 192 million from April 2003.

Both planes were sent for repair to Baranovichi by AN-124-100 transport aircraft of the Russian airline Volga-Dnepr on December 9, 2015. According to the data posted on the web site forums.airforce.ru, both these Su-27SKs were operated in the Indonesian Air Force very limited (their total flight time before repair was only 693 hours and 348 hours respectively) and the last few years before the departure for repairs were in Sludge.

Subsequently, the Indonesian Air Force in 2010, under an additional contract, received three more modified Su-27SMK fighters (side numbers with TS-2703 to TS-2705) built by KnAAZ, also in service with the 11th squadron at Sultan Hasanuddin airbase.

The Indonesian army received the first four Pandur II armored personnel carriers

According to Indonesian media, September 14, 2017, the Indonesian state defense association PT Pindad in Bandung delivered the first four of the armored Pandur II armored vehicles ordered by the Indonesian army from the Czech company Excalibur Army with a wheel arrangement of 8x8. The PT Pindad association will carry out refinements and test the machines received before they are delivered to the Indonesian army.



The first consignment received by Indonesia from the Czech Republic by sea and unloaded at the port of Tajjung Priok on September 11 includes two Pandur II (8x8) floating machines that must be equipped with remotely controlled Ares combat units (assemblies of the Brazilian branch of the Israeli company Elbit Systems) from 12 , 7 mm machine guns, one non-floating machine that must be equipped with a remotely controlled Ares combat module with a 30 mm cannon, and one non-floating machine for which a Cockerill 3000 series tower with a 105 mm cannon should be installed. Installation of weapons will be carried out PT Pindad.

The family of armored vehicles Pandur II in variants with the wheel formula 6x6 and 8x8 was developed by the Austrian company Steyr-Daimler-Puch Spezialfahrzeu, now part of the European division of the American corporation General Dynamics as General Dynamics European Land Systems - Steyr (GDELS-Steyr), and is the further development of the previously produced Steyr-Daimler-Puch very popular wheeled BTR Pandur (6x6).

Machines of the Pandur II family were ordered in 2005-2006 as a new generation of armored personnel carriers of the new generation by the armed forces of Portugal and the Czech Republic, but the implementation of both contracts took place with considerable difficulties and delays and was accompanied by significant technical complaints from the armies of both countries. As a result, in both cases, were reduced and the contracts were not fully and partially canceled. In fact, Portugal delivered 188 Pandur II cars, and the Czech Republic - 107 cars (90 of the cars for the Czech Republic were assembled from car kits at the Czech armored repair plant VOP-025 in Novi Jicin). Another 34 APCs Pandur II in 2016 were ordered by the Austrian army, with the beginning of deliveries in 2018.

In 2015, General Dynamics actually curtailed the marketing of Pandur II and sold the full rights to this car to the well-known Czech company Excalibur Army (part of the Excalibur Group, then the Czechoslovak Group). The latter organized the assembling of Pandur II cars at a specially established company controlled by the Czechoslovak Group company Tatra Defense Vehicle in Kopřivnice. In fact, as can be judged, machines for assembling in the Czech Republic are obtained in the form of sets from the Steyr-Daimler-Puch company in Vienna, and are only being finalized in Kopřivnice.

Tatra Defense Vehicle received in early 2017 a contract of the Czech Ministry of Defense for the supply of 20 Pandur II cars in special versions. Earlier in 2015, the Indonesian Ministry of Defense concluded a $ 39 million contract with Excalibur Army to supply a batch of an unreleased number of Pandur II cars in various versions. Excalibur Army also concluded an agreement with the Indonesian association PT Pindad on the joint completion of the supplied armored personnel carriers, equipping them with armament and on localizing the Pandur II assembly to PT Pindad from 2018 if the Indonesian army continues to procure these vehicles. Indonesia has thus become the fourth customer of the Pandur II BTR.

Indonesia received 155-mm self-propelled howitzers M109A4VE

According to Indonesian media, Indonesia's army in October 2017 received 18 acquired in Belgium from the presence of 155-mm / 39 modernized self-propelled howitzers M109A4VE American production. These are the first self-propelled artillery systems of the M109 family in Indonesia.



The intergovernmental agreement on the acquisition of 20 withdrawn from the armament of the Belgian army and stored MASA M109A4VE was concluded in early 2016. The artisans were taken to the Indonesian port of Tajong-Priok in late July 2017. As can be judged, two units will be used as a source of spare parts, and the remaining 18 by early October have gone to the completion of three artillery batteries distributed between the two mixed artillery divisions of the Indonesian army.

Belgium acquired 41 self-propelled howitzer М109 in the USA in 1963-1964, becoming in fact their first foreign customer. In 1984-1985, 127 self-propelled howitzers of the M109A2 modification of the new production were produced from the United States by Belgium, and in the second half of the 1980s, the 41 "early" MASA MU9 was upgraded with the M109A3 kit from the USA. In 1999-2002, 40 of these M109A3 howitzers were sold out of the presence of the Belgian army of Brazil.

The Belgian M109A2 ACS has been equipped with inertial-satellite navigation systems since 1998, and in 2005-2008 64 of these automatic control systems were upgraded to the M109A4EV variant. The modernization project M109A4VE was developed under the leadership of the German group Rheinmetall, the work was carried out by the Belgian army's repair arsenal with the participation of the Belgian company Espace Mobile International S.A.

During the upgrade to the level of the M109A4VE, the units were equipped with the mechanized loading system supplied by Rheinmetall, including a sender and a hydraulic shutter drive, which increased the rate of fire, allowing three shots to be fired within the first 20 seconds and six shots during the first minute of fire. Charging after modernization became possible at any elevation angle. The sensor temperature control sensor is also installed.

An improved system of protection against WMD, air conditioning and heating systems, reserve hydraulic drives of the tower and guns, a more powerful generator, a 1,2-kilowatt auxiliary diesel power plant of the German company Kissling Service, and a new protected combat set for 38 shots were installed. 32 ACS in the course of modernization received a set of additional protection.

However, despite the modernization, already in April 2008, the Belgian government decided on a new reduction of the Belgian armed forces, including a complete abandonment of self-propelled artillery. By 2011, all M109A4EE ACSs were withdrawn from the troops and transferred to storage for the purpose of subsequent sale. Now 20 of them are sold to Indonesia.

Out of the number of unmodified M109A2 ACS, 43 units were sold in 2006 by Belgium to Morocco.
