Well as mentioned before, asside Turkiye, Frenchie and UAE also will get some shares of agreement in this Indo Defence 2022. With UAE AMMROC it is quite interesting as the agreement is for Fighters MRO. UAE we know operating F-16 Blk60+ which is already close to Blk 70. With the talk of TNI-AU will got allotment for further upgrading Blk50 toward Blk70, is this a sign on that?
UAE also will be big Rafale operator. However is this also sign that Mirage 2000 that being talk before as interim fighters will come from UAE istead of Qatar?
The work on Collins Aerospace and Honeywell related to the work for refurbishement for 11 C-130H. This is basically talk on overall C-130H inventory, outside ex RAAF ones. Strong indication as mention before of maintaning at least 2 sq of C-130H, outside C-130J sq. No news yet on how to round up 1 sq of C-130J-30, either new ones or combo with second hand ones. Rumours of the talk with UK on gaining some ex RAF C-130J-30 has been circulate for sometime now.
Well, our southern neighbours are planning to retire their existing fleet of 12 C-130J-30 transporters the coming years, if im not wrong their fleet is slightly younger than the fleet of RAF, but i don't know about the amount of flight hours.

This is why my colleugues in SOE Bank talk how many of 'projects' in this Indo Defense 'reek' of political agenda. This one can be said fall on that.
Perhaps Irkut says, if you don't want to buy directly from us due to CAATSA, why don't you buy license from us and build it in your facilities. This talk for DI on LIFT/LCA already being rumours for some time. This afterall more 'logical' move to enter fighters manufacturing capabilities, as Habibie plan with Hawk 100/200 in 90's.
However before the talk is with KAI for TA/FA-50. Now somehow they talk with Irkut. I don't know whose political factions that move this. Perhaps that InfoGlobal LCA mock up that I put few days ago, going to use Irkut tech ?
Who knows, when politics become the 'logics' any ideas no matter ilogical or remote on present conditions, can happen.

This is why long term planning not working in Indonesia after our 'beloved' dictactor gone. Everything is always fluid in Indonesian political circles, so fluid even can create 'vortex' that flows round around.
This will just stay a fantasy project, with the people involved busy with lobbying for financial support from the state for "studi banding dan ongkos2 lain".

I like to shown this company move, no matter how bizare as this seems. As if they manage to put this in the event like Indo Defence, means someone high enough already back it up. Also this shown how political agenda can create new changes on long term planning.

This page on the other hand shown what this company main track record. Working on avionics. So getting co-op with kind like BAe systems is making sense. While the above page, well something that coming from 'behind' on agenda that somehow crop up.

Well they're also shown in the above video on their C-130H glass cockpit as part of C-130H refurbishment program. While DI put it is Colin's Aerospace as main contractor. If that so, why don't they just say in their booth as sub contractor for glass cockpit with Collins Aerospace ?
Honestly, Is Indonesian defense companies really try to hide the real condition that they are 'at this moment' mostly working as subcontractor ? Nothing shameful on that.
It is just cropping out more, as almost every local company try to 'mask' their products to fill the jargon as 'karya anak bangsa' or indigenous products. Doing that nothing more to full fill 'image politics' that always infested Indonesian politics.
This kind of thing actually going to be unproductive towards those 'few' local business that genuinely really try to develop their own capabilities and tech based.
It's embarrassing but sadly its true. Pretending its an indigenous project while its (almost) 100% a foreign, that's just lying what they are doing. The only people they can please and impress are the fanboys, amateur journalists and some retarded politicians.

Btw, it seems that Infoglobal collaborated with local aerospace design firm Vimana Litbang & Rekayasa, which is headed by former commercial unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) pilot, Sunanto Ajidarmo.
Anyway, how can we expect others respect and look up to our defence industry, if local companies (and the politicians who back them up) lack the sense of reality?
Yesterday Indonesian Aerospace signed a contract for the delivery of 11 N-219 aircraft with a local cargo company PT Karya Logistik Indotama. The contract is valued at Rp1.2 trillion (US$80.4 million).

The following is not in the news but according to the employee I talked with, the Ministry of Defence has an MOU for a military version of the N-219. The main difference is a larger sliding side door, losing 2 passenger seats in the process. Apparently this is requested for easier parachute jumping and also for easier cargo handling. The cargo version has all seats removed. The MOU is for ten aircraft but given that this is an MOU details can still change. Keep in mind that this is different from the contract with Karya Logistik. However, while I am not privy to the content of the contract, the brochures I saw show that the larger sliding door is also present with the civilian cargo version.
Thank you for sharing this good news. So after the single order of the local government of Aceh, this is the second REAL civilian order?
So how much N219 (original civilian version) has the Indonesian government for the armed forces?
I wonder who will pay for the development of the military version with enlarged cargo doors, until now government support is chronical insufficiently. Besides that until this moment the development of the amphibious version is not yet finished and even the production of the initial/original version has not yet started.
But this is really a surprise acquisition. It seems nobody knew about it....Antara, Janes, Scramble...even not

I don't know if this is really a necessary procurement, TNI-AU already has enough 737 Classics besides the BBJ2 (A-001). Other countries use the CN235 as a VVIP-aircraft, but sadly our country doesn't use the CN235 or C295 for the transport of high officials. Yes the Falcon 7X is undoubtly faster and has an impressive range, but the CN235, C295 and 737-300/400/500 can transport much more people and cargo, have enough speed and range and are totally suitable for the transport for high officials inside Indonesia and surrounding countries.
Hopefully this acquisition is not done the same way as the EH-101 procurement.
