인도네시아가 중고로 들여올 24대의 F-16만으로도 향후 20년간 필요한 전투기 수량은 충족된다면서 추가적인 Su-27/30 구매는 없을 것이라고 했네요. 전투기보다더 수송기 전력을 채우는 것이 급하다고도 합니다.

10대의 Su-27/30이 있는데 1개 비행대대를 채우려면 6기가 더 필요하다는데....이것도 안채울려나 봅니다.

그리고 장기적으로는 KFX로 3대 비행대대를 채울 생각이네요.....1개 비행대대당 16-22대라는데..16대라면....54대요, 22대면 66대인데....원래 50대 구매 계획 아니었나요?

Indonesia to rely on upgraded F-16s and K-FX fighters

Indonesia has ruled out further buys of Sukhoi fighter jets from Russia, instead bolstering its fleet with upgraded ex-US Air Force Lockheed Martin F-16s and, in the longer term, aircraft jointly developed with South Korea through the K-FX programme.

The Indonesian air force has 10 Su-30 and Su-27s, with six additional fighters on the way, enough to form one fighter squadron.

But budget constraints mean that Jakarta's priority is its cargo and transport fleets, which have been plagued by fatal accidents in recent years.

Money is being made available to accelerate the refurbishment of some of its existing fleet of 15 Lockheed Martin C-130s, to buy four C-130Hs from Australia and upgrade them, and purchase more Indonesia Aerospace CN-295 transports, says Air Marshal Eris Herryanto, secretary general of the Indonesian defence ministry. According to Flightglobal's MiliCAS database, Indonesia has four active B-model and nine H-model C-130s in its fleet.

"We are waiting for 24 F-16s from the USA. With those, we will have enough aircraft in our fighter inventory for the next 20 years. And that means we have enough Sukhoi fighters for now," he says.

"Indonesia has also invested in South Korea's K-FX programme, which will produce fighters to replace aircraft like the [Northrop] F-5s and F-16s. We aim to buy enough K-FX fighters for three squadrons of 16-22 aircraft each. That will cover our long-term requirements."

Indonesia has also formally received its first four Embraer EMB-314 Super Tucano turboprop aircraft, which it will deploy on counterinsurgency and surveillance and reconnaissance missions. These are the first of two batches of aircraft, for a total of 16, that it has ordered from the Brazilian airframer to replace its North American Rockwell OV-10 Broncos as part of its fleet modernisation programme.

The country is also in the market for more helicopters to replace its Eurocopter AS332 Super Puma fleet, while more manned and unmanned maritime patrol aircraft could be required to keep an eye on the large archipelago.

The armed forces and civil servants are lobbying the government to increase the budget allocated for the purchase of new aircraft in the next five-year plan, which will cover 2015-2019. Jakarta, however, is also planning to introduce a bill that will require around 20% of the value of the new contracts to be pumped back into the country through offsets.

"The policy of the defence ministry is that every procurement must have offsets or joint production. This should also include the support the aircraft will receive after purchase. So while we might get more money for the peaceful

refurbishment of our armed forces, it is important both for the military and the country that the new contracts create jobs and train our people," says Herryanto.

인도네시아가 2003년에 처음 Su-27 계열을 도입할 때 BVR 공대공 미사일은 사지 않았는데 지금은 과연 있는지 궁금하네요.

뉴스 검색해봐도 샀단 소식은 없내요....F-16에도 미국이 Amrram은 안팔거 같은데.....KFX엔 뭐 달려나요? 요즘 중국이랑 합작해서 대함미사일 공동생산하던데.....설마 중국제 BVR을?

사더라도 멀리서 날아오는 어떤 것이 적기인지 아닌지 확실히 ID할 능력이 없어서 무용지물이 아닐까...하는 생각도 듭니다. 언제 어디서 날아다니는 비행기는 무조건 적기로 간주하고 쏜다는 교전수칙이 있다면 얘기가 다르겠지만요.
