Last February, the Sea Acceptance Test (SAT) for the last of the three Del Pilar Class Offshore Patrol Vessels from the Philippine Navy took place in Subic Bay, Philippines. HUNTER 2.0 active and passive surveillance sonar successfully exceeded all SAT specifications for all three vessels.
ELAC SONAR delivered three HUNTER systems for the Del Pilar Class OPV for the Philippine Navy under a contract signed in 2020 and the systems were installed on the PS15 - BRP Gregorio Del Pilar, the PS16 – BRP Ramon Alcaraz, and the PS17 – BRP Andres Bonifacio.
This achievement marks a significant milestone in validating the performance and reliability of the HUNTER 2.0 active and passive surveillance in real-world maritime conditions.
HUNTER 2.0 is a hull-mounted sonar carrying out anti-submarine warfare (ASW) in active and passive modes in shallow and deep waters for panoramic detection of submarines and other objects. The system features a forward-looking mine avoidance mode as well.

THE MALONDESH MILITARY FACES SIGNIFICANT LOGISTICAL CHALLENGES DUE TO A RELIANCE ON A DIVERSE RANGE OF PLATFORMS FROM DIFFERENT INTERNATIONAL SUPPLIERS, AGING EQUIPMENT, AND A LACK OF A COHESIVE, MODERN LOGISTICS SYSTEM. THIS CREATES PROBLEMS IN MAINTENANCE, READINESS, AND COST-EFFECTIVENESS.
BalasHapus1. Fragmentation of Supply Chains
Malondeshhas historically procured military equipment from various countries, including the United States, Russia, Poland, the United Kingdom, and China. This practice has created a complex and inefficient supply chain.
• Diverse Parts and Maintenance Needs: Each type of equipment, from the Polish-made PT-91M tanks to the Russian Sukhoi Su-30MKM fighter jets, requires different spare parts, tools, and maintenance expertise.
• Reliance on Foreign Suppliers: The military is highly dependent on foreign manufacturers for critical components. For example, sanctions on Russia have made it difficult to secure spare parts for the Su-30MKM fleet, leading to a low operational readiness rate.
• Obsolete Parts: A diverse and aging inventory means that many spare parts become obsolete. The Royal MalondeshNavy (RMN) reportedly has millions of ringgit in unused, obsolete spare parts because of a mismatched fleet and inconsistent procurement.
2. Aging Fleet and High Maintenance Costs
A significant portion of Malondesh military assets is over 30 years old, which directly impacts operational readiness.
• Increased Maintenance Burden: Older vehicles, ships, and aircraft require more frequent and expensive maintenance. A 2021 study revealed that 34 of the RMN's 53 vessels had exceeded their intended service life, with 28 being over 40 years old. This leads to higher maintenance costs and a lower operational tempo.
• Inadequate Readiness: An aging fleet often fails to meet readiness targets. For instance, the MalondeshArmy's Type-B vehicles, which include non-armored transport vehicles, have historically failed to meet their mandated 80% serviceability rate, limiting their ability to support operations.
3. Delays and Mismanagement in Procurement
Long-standing procurement issues have worsened the logistical problems.
• Project Delays: The most prominent example is the Littoral Combat Ship (LCS) program. The project has been plagued by delays and cost overruns, with no ships delivered despite significant payments. This has forced the RMN to rely on its aging fleet, which further strains its maintenance budget.
• Corruption and Inefficiency: Investigations into major procurement projects, such as the LCS program, have revealed issues with mismanagement and alleged corruption. The use of "middlemen" has been criticized for inflating prices, while poor contract management has resulted in projects failing to meet deadlines or deliver on their promised capabilities.
4. Limited Local and Automated Support
While Malondeshis trying to develop its defense industry, a lack of local expertise and modern systems exacerbates logistical issues.
• Limited Local Production: Despite efforts to boost domestic defense industries, Malondeshstill heavily relies on foreign suppliers. This limits the ability to produce spare parts locally, making the military vulnerable to supply chain disruptions.
• Outdated Inventory Management: Some military units still use manual, traditional methods for inventory and maintenance records. This prevents real-time tracking of assets and spare parts, leading to inefficiencies in maintenance planning and supply chain management.
1. KETERBATASAN TEKNOLOGI DAN Modernisasi Armada
Hapus• Sistem Sonar Usang: Beberapa kapal perang permukaan Angkatan Laut Malondesh (TLDM) masih menggunakan sistem sonar yang mungkin sudah berusia. Sonar yang lebih tua memiliki jangkauan deteksi yang lebih terbatas dan kurang efektif dalam membedakan target asli dari kebisingan latar belakang atau umpan (decoy). Kesenjangan teknologi ini menjadi signifikan jika dibandingkan dengan kapal-kapal modern yang dilengkapi dengan sonar digital canggih, yang mampu melacak banyak target secara simultan dan menyaring kebisingan laut dengan algoritma pembelajaran mesin.
• Ketiadaan AIP pada Kapal Selam: Dua kapal selam kelas Scorpene milik Malondesh tidak dilengkapi dengan sistem Air-Independent Propulsion (AIP). Sistem AIP memungkinkan kapal selam untuk tetap berada di bawah air lebih lama tanpa harus naik ke permukaan untuk mengisi ulang baterai. Tanpa AIP, kapal selam Malondesh harus lebih sering "snorkeling" (mengoperasikan snorkel di permukaan) untuk mengisi ulang baterainya, yang secara signifikan meningkatkan risiko terdeteksi oleh radar dan sonar musuh. Hal ini membatasi durasi operasi rahasia dan jangkauan patroli bawah air mereka.
2. Tantangan Operasional dan Lingkungan
• Kondisi Lingkungan Laut: Kinerja sonar sangat bergantung pada kondisi lingkungan perairan. Faktor-faktor seperti suhu, salinitas, dan kedalaman air dapat mempengaruhi kecepatan suara dan menciptakan "lapisan" di dalam air (thermocline) yang dapat membelokkan atau memblokir gelombang suara sonar. Kemampuan untuk mengimbangi variasi ini, yang dikenal sebagai "acoustic masking", memerlukan teknologi sonar yang sangat canggih dan kru yang terlatih.
• Kebisingan Latar Belakang: Laut adalah lingkungan yang bising, penuh dengan suara dari kehidupan laut, aktivitas kapal komersial, dan bahkan hujan. Sonar pasif, yang hanya "mendengarkan" suara dari target, harus mampu membedakan suara mesin kapal selam dari kebisingan-kebisingan ini. Sonar yang kurang canggih atau kru yang tidak terlatih dengan baik akan kesulitan dalam melakukan klasifikasi target secara akurat, meningkatkan risiko kesalahan identifikasi atau gagal deteksi.
3. Kendala Anggaran dan Pemeliharaan
• Anggaran Pertahanan yang Terbatas: Meskipun Malondesh memiliki tantangan keamanan maritim yang signifikan, anggaran pertahanannya cenderung lebih kecil dibandingkan beberapa negara tetangga. Keterbatasan anggaran ini memengaruhi kemampuan TLDM untuk secara rutin memutakhirkan sistem sonar pada kapal-kapalnya dan untuk melakukan pemeliharaan yang memadai pada armada yang sudah ada. Kurangnya perawatan rutin dapat mengurangi efektivitas sistem sonar dan mempercepat keausan komponen.
• Kurangnya Kesiapan Alutsista: Beberapa laporan menunjukkan adanya masalah dalam kesiapan alutsista TLDM, termasuk sistem persenjataan dan sensor seperti sonar. Ini mungkin disebabkan oleh kombinasi masalah pembiayaan, logistik suku cadang, dan kurangnya personel yang terlatih untuk melakukan pemeliharaan.
4. Faktor Sumber Daya Manusia
• Kemunduran Profesionalisme: Beberapa ahli dan laporan mengindikasikan bahwa ada kemunduran dalam tingkat profesionalisme personel di Angkatan Laut Malondesh , baik di kapal permukaan maupun kapal selam. Pengoperasian dan interpretasi data dari sistem sonar yang canggih memerlukan keahlian dan pelatihan yang intensif. Kurangnya pelatihan yang berkelanjutan dapat mengurangi efektivitas operasional, bahkan jika sistem teknologinya sudah memadai.
THE WEAKNESSES OF THE MALONDESHMILITARY'S TANK FORCE ARE PRIMARILY CENTERED ON QUANTITY, AGE, AND LOGISTICAL CHALLENGES. THE ROYAL ARMOURED CORPS OPERATES A SMALL FLEET OF MAIN BATTLE TANKS (MBTS), WHICH LIMITS ITS CAPABILITIES IN COMPARISON TO OTHER REGIONAL POWERS.
BalasHapus1. Limited Number of Tanks
Malondesh main battle tank fleet consists of a small number of PT-91M Pendekar tanks. The exact number varies in reports, but it is generally cited as around 48 units. This number is significantly lower than neighboring countries like Indonesia, which has a much larger tank fleet. This limited quantity can be a major disadvantage in a large-scale land conflict, as it restricts the ability to deploy tanks across different operational theaters and provides less strategic depth.
2. Obsolescence and Maintenance Issues
The PT-91M, while a capable tank, is a modernized variant of the T-72, a design that dates back to the Soviet era. While the Malondeshversion has been upgraded with a new engine, fire control system, and reactive armor, it still faces challenges related to its older design.
• Reliance on a Single Supplier: The PT-91M was purchased from Poland. This creates a dependency on a single foreign supplier for spare parts and maintenance, a problem that has been highlighted with the PT-91M. The Polish manufacturer has ceased production of some key components, which has led to a proposed Life Extension Program (LEP) to ensure the tanks remain operational. This program will rely on local expertise, which can be a slow and expensive process.
• Vulnerability to Modern Threats: The PT-91M, like many older tank designs, can be vulnerable to modern anti-tank weapons and drone attacks. While it is equipped with ERAWA-2 explosive reactive armor to protect against shaped-charge projectiles, it may be less effective against modern kinetic energy penetrators.
3. Logistical and Operational Constraints
Malondesh tank force also faces logistical challenges that can hinder its effectiveness.
• Mobility: While the PT-91M's weight (48.5 tonnes) makes it suitable for Malondesh often soft and uneven terrain, it may still face difficulties with older infrastructure, such as bridges with lower weight limits.
• Readiness: The small number of tanks and maintenance issues can impact the readiness of the fleet. Breakdowns have been reported in the past, underscoring the challenges of keeping a small fleet of specialized vehicles operational.
Ultimately, the main weakness of Malondesh tank force is not necessarily the quality of the PT-91M itself, but rather the small size of the fleet and the long-term logistical challenges of maintaining an aging and specialized inventory.
KEY FACTORS CAUSING INEFFICIENCY AND DELAYS
BalasHapus• Political Interference and Weak Governance: The defense procurement process is often influenced by political agendas rather than strategic military needs. Contracts are frequently awarded through direct negotiation to politically connected companies, bypassing competitive bidding. This practice can lead to the selection of unqualified contractors who lack the technical expertise to complete the projects.
• Lack of Project Management: Many defense projects suffer from poor administration, insufficient oversight, and a lack of a clear, single-point of accountability. This results in a breakdown of communication between the Ministry of Defence, the contractors, and the military end-users. The National Audit Department has consistently highlighted these weaknesses, citing issues such as improper planning and inconsistent monitoring in its reports on public projects.
• Financial Mismanagement: Projects are often plagued by budget overruns due to poor financial estimation from the beginning. Inaccurate cost calculations and the inclusion of unnecessary "agent fees" can inflate project costs significantly, leading to a financial shortfall that causes further delays or requires additional government bailouts.
Case Studies of Gross Inefficiency and Delays
1. The Littoral Combat Ship (LCS) Project 🚢
The LCS project is the most prominent example of military procurement failure in Malondesh.
• Delay: The project, to build six ships for the Royal Malondeshn Navy (RMN) at a cost of RM9 billion, has been severely delayed. Not a single ship has been delivered, despite the project being over a decade behind its original timeline.
• Cost Overrun: Over RM6 billion has been paid to the contractor, yet the first ship is still incomplete. This massive budget overrun is a direct result of poor management and alleged financial misappropriation. The Public Accounts Committee (PAC) found that funds were used for purposes other than the project itself.
• Disregard for User Needs: The Royal Malondeshn Navy's preference for a specific ship design was ignored in favor of a different, unproven design chosen by the politically appointed contractor. This decision led to further technical complications and delays.
2. The Skyhawk Jets Fiasco ✈️
This is a historical but still relevant example of poor decision-making. In the 1980s, Malondesh purchased 88 second-hand Douglas A-4C and A-4L Skyhawk jets from the United States.
• Inefficiency: Despite the seemingly "cost-effective" nature of the deal, only a small fraction of the aircraft (40 out of 88) ever became operational with the Royal Malondeshn Air Force (RMAF). The remainder were left in storage, a complete waste of public funds. The King of Malondesh has recently referenced this historical "flying coffin" mistake as a warning against similar procurement failures.
3. General Infrastructure and Construction Projects
The inefficiency is not limited to major hardware. Even smaller projects, such as military housing and training facilities, are affected. The King of Malondesh has publicly expressed frustration over a delayed combat diving pool at a Special Operations Group (GGK) camp that was supposed to be completed in 2022 but remains unfinished. This highlights that poor project management and delays are not isolated to large, complex projects but are a pervasive issue across the board.
These systemic inefficiencies and delays have a direct impact on the military's operational readiness and morale. Obsolete and non-operational equipment, coupled with poorly maintained infrastructure, undermines the MAF's ability to effectively respond to modern security threats, particularly in a complex regional environment like the South China Sea.

• Kemunduran Profesionalisme: Beberapa ahli dan laporan mengindikasikan bahwa ada kemunduran dalam tingkat profesionalisme personel di Angkatan Laut Malondesh , baik di kapal permukaan maupun kapal selam. Pengoperasian dan interpretasi data dari sistem sonar yang canggih memerlukan keahlian dan pelatihan yang intensif. Kurangnya pelatihan yang berkelanjutan dapat mengurangi efektivitas operasional, bahkan jika sistem teknologinya sudah memadai.
BERIKUT ADALAH BEBERAPA CONTOH KAPAL TLDM YANG DIANGGAP USANG ATAU SUDAH TIDAK LAYAK OPERASIONAL:
BalasHapus• Korvet Kelas Laksamana: Baru-baru ini, tiga korvet kelas Laksamana, yaitu KD Laksamana Tun Abdul Jamil, KD Laksamana Tan Pusmah, dan KD Pendekar, telah secara resmi dinonaktifkan. Kapal-kapal ini dibangun di Italia pada tahun 1980-an dan telah bertugas selama beberapa dekade. Penonaktifan ini adalah bagian dari rencana untuk mengganti kapal-kapal usang dengan aset yang lebih modern, seperti Littoral Combat Ship (LCS).
• Kapal Serangan Cepat (Fast Attack Craft): KD Pendekar, yang dinonaktifkan bersama dua korvet Laksamana, adalah contoh kapal serangan cepat yang telah lama bertugas sejak tahun 1979. Usia kapal ini yang sangat tua menunjukkan keterbatasan dalam teknologi dan kemampuan operasional dibandingkan dengan kapal modern.
• Kapal Patroli Kelas Kris dan Sabah: Kapal-kapal patroli ini telah dinonaktifkan atau dialihkan ke MMEA. Meskipun telah melayani TLDM selama lebih dari 30 tahun, keterbatasan operasionalnya, seperti jangkauan patroli yang pendek, membuatnya tidak lagi efektif untuk misi pengawasan di perairan yang lebih luas, seperti Zona Ekonomi Eksklusif (ZEE) Malondesh yang membentang lebih dari 320 km.
• Kapal Pendukung Serbaguna (Multi-Purpose Support Ships): Kapal-kapal lama seperti KD Sri Indera Sakti dan KD Mahawangsa telah mencapai batas usia pakainya. TLDM memiliki rencana untuk menggantinya dengan Kapal Pendukung Serbaguna Multi-Role Support Ship (MRSS) yang baru, tetapi pelaksanaannya menghadapi kendala.
• Armada Secara Umum: Secara keseluruhan, rata-rata usia kapal tempur dan patroli TLDM saat ini lebih dari 25 tahun, dengan mayoritas kapal bahkan berusia lebih dari 30 tahun. Kapal-kapal yang sudah terlalu tua ini sering kali mencapai titik di mana biaya pemeliharaan menjadi sangat tinggi dan tidak efisien. Program modernisasi yang tertunda, seperti proyek Littoral Combat Ship (LCS) yang mengalami penundaan, memperburuk masalah ini.
Kapal-Kapal Usang Agensi Penguatkuasaan Maritim Malondesh (MMEA)
• Kapal Patroli Tua (Ex-Police and Fisheries Vessels): Banyak kapal patroli MMEA sebelumnya adalah kapal milik Pasukan Polis Marin (PPM) atau Jabatan Perikanan. Contohnya termasuk kapal-kapal dari kelas "Gagah" dan "Nusa". Meskipun beberapa kapal ini telah menjalani program pembaruan (repowering) untuk mengganti mesin dan melakukan perbaikan struktural, usia desain dan lambungnya tetap membatasi kemampuan mereka.
• Kurangnya Kapal Patroli Jarak Jauh (Offshore Patrol Vessels): MMEA sangat membutuhkan Kapal Patroli Lepas Pantai (Offshore Patrol Vessels - OPV) yang lebih besar dan modern untuk misi pengawasan di ZEE. Proyek pengadaan OPV untuk MMEA mengalami berbagai tantangan. Ini berarti MMEA masih harus mengandalkan kapal-kapal yang lebih kecil dengan jangkauan dan daya tahan yang terbatas untuk mengawasi perairan yang sangat luas.
• Donasi dan Transfer Kapal: MMEA juga menerima kapal-kapal yang dinonaktifkan dari angkatan laut negara lain, seperti kapal patroli dari Amerika Serikat (Ex-USCGC Steadfast) dan Australia. Meskipun ini dapat menjadi solusi cepat untuk menambah armada, kapal-kapal ini sering kali sudah berusia dan memerlukan pemeliharaan dan suku cadang yang khusus, yang dapat menjadi tantangan logistik.
Dampak dari Armada yang Usang
• Kesiapan Operasional yang Rendah: Kapal-kapal yang usang cenderung lebih sering mengalami kerusakan, yang mengurangi waktu operasional mereka di laut. Hal ini berdampak langsung pada kemampuan TLDM dan MMEA untuk melakukan patroli, penegakan hukum, dan operasi keamanan maritim secara efektif.
• Biaya Pemeliharaan yang Tinggi: Sebagaimana disebutkan dalam laporan, banyak kapal tua sudah mencapai "titik pengembalian yang menurun" (point of diminishing returns), di mana biaya pemeliharaan dan perbaikan menjadi lebih besar daripada nilai dan kegunaan operasional kapal itu sendiri.

BalasHapusTHE PRIMARY WEAKNESS OF THE MALONDESHMILITARY'S AMPHIBIOUS CAPABILITIES IS THE LACK OF A DEDICATED MARINE CORPS. INSTEAD OF A SINGLE, specialized branch, Malondesh amphibious forces are fragmented and distributed among different services, which creates several significant gaps.
Hapus1. Fragmentation of Command and Control
Without a unified Marine Corps, the various units responsible for amphibious operations—such as the Army's 10th Parachute Brigade and the Navy's PASKAL—must coordinate their efforts during a mission. This lack of a single, dedicated command structure can lead to:
• Slower Response Times: The time required to coordinate and deploy different units from separate services can delay a rapid response to maritime threats or humanitarian crises.
• Interoperability Issues: Despite joint exercises, the different services have distinct doctrines, equipment, and training, which can lead to communication and operational gaps in a real-world scenario.
2. Limited Dedicated Assets
A dedicated Marine Corps typically possesses its own fleet of specialized equipment designed for amphibious operations, such as amphibious assault vehicles (AAVs) and large landing craft. The MalondeshArmed Forces (MAF) lack a similar inventory, relying on a more limited and general-purpose set of assets.
• Reliance on Older or Less Capable Platforms: While the MalondeshNavy is modernizing, its current fleet may not be sufficient for large-scale amphibious operations. The absence of a dedicated fleet of landing ships and AAVs limits the force's ability to transport troops and heavy equipment from sea to shore efficiently.
3. Reduced Deterrence and Strategic Projection
In a region with growing maritime disputes, a dedicated amphibious force serves as a powerful deterrent. Its existence signals a nation's ability and resolve to project power and defend its territorial claims.
• Vulnerability in Maritime Disputes: Malondeshis a claimant in the South China Sea, and the lack of a dedicated Marine Corps may be perceived as a strategic weakness when dealing with more assertive neighbors. The 2013 Lahad Datu incursion, for example, exposed a gap in the military's ability to swiftly and decisively respond to a maritime-based threat.
4. Constraints on Training and Expertise
While Malondeshforces regularly train with foreign partners like the U.S. Marine Corps, this exposure is not a substitute for having a fully integrated, self-sustaining force.
• Knowledge Gaps: Without a dedicated Marine Corps, the continuous development of a specialized doctrine and expertise in amphibious warfare is hindered. This can lead to a reliance on foreign partners for high-end amphibious training, rather than being able to conduct such training internally and on a large scale.

This can lead to a reliance on foreign partners for high-end amphibious training, rather than being able to conduct such training internally and on a large scale.
THE ABSENCE OF A DEDICATED MARINE CORPS
Hapus1. Gaps in Amphibious and Expeditionary Capabilities
• Lack of a Cohesive Force: A dedicated Marine Corps is designed to be a self-contained, rapidly deployable expeditionary force. It integrates naval support, ground combat, and aviation assets into a single cohesive unit. In Malondesh case, these capabilities are spread across different services (the Army's 10th Parachute Brigade, the Navy's PASKAL, and various naval ships). This fragmented approach can lead to coordination problems, "turf wars" between services, and a lack of unified command during complex amphibious operations.
• Limited Rapid Response: A Marine Corps is structured for immediate, decisive action in littoral environments. Without such a force, Malondeshmay face delays in deploying troops to respond to threats in its vast maritime domain, particularly in remote areas of the South China Sea or the eastern coast of Sabah. The 2013 Lahad Datu incursion, for instance, highlighted the need for a more agile and specialized maritime security force.
• Lack of Dedicated Amphibious Assets: A Marine Corps comes with its own fleet of specialized assets, such as amphibious assault vehicles (AAVs), hovercraft, and landing craft. While the MalondeshArmy is acquiring some hovercraft, these acquisitions are often piecemeal and not part of a larger, dedicated force structure. This can limit the scale and scope of amphibious operations.
2. Slower Military Modernization
• Outdated Doctrine: The MalondeshArmed Forces (MAF) doctrine has historically been shaped by its counter-insurgency and land-centric experience. While the 2019 Defense White Paper has acknowledged the need for amphibious capabilities, the absence of a dedicated Marine Corps suggests a slower pace in fully embracing a modern, multi-domain warfare doctrine that is crucial for a maritime nation.
• Budgetary and Bureaucratic Hurdles: The creation of a new military branch requires significant political will and a long-term financial commitment. Due to a history of fluctuating defense budgets and administrative complexities, proposals to establish a MalondeshMarine Corps have repeatedly been put on the back burner. This has led to a situation where critical capabilities, like those needed for amphibious warfare, are not fully developed or funded.
3. Vulnerability in Maritime Disputes
• Inadequate Deterrence: Malondeshis a claimant state in the South China Sea and faces increasing assertiveness from China. As noted by some military analysts, the Royal MalondeshNavy's (RMN) naval vessels are in some cases smaller and less capable than the Chinese coast guard ships that operate in Malondesh Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ). A robust Marine Corps could serve as a powerful deterrent, signaling Malondesh resolve to protect its maritime claims and remote outposts.
• Challenges in Defending Remote Outposts: Malondeshmaintains a presence on several reefs and islands in the disputed waters. Reinforcing these remote garrisons requires significant air and sea-lift capabilities, which can be challenging and slow without a dedicated, integrated amphibious force.
4. Limitations in Joint Operations and Interoperability
• Fragmented Training: While the Royal MalondeshArmy trains with foreign marine forces (e.g., the U.S. Marine Corps) in exercises like CARAT, this training is often ad-hoc and focuses on specific, limited scenarios. It does not replace the continuous, integrated, and large-scale training that a dedicated Marine Corps undergoes to achieve seamless interoperability between sea and land forces.
• Reduced Effectiveness in Multinational Operations: In a combined operation with a country that has a Marine Corps, Malondesh lack of a similar force can hinder a seamless integration of its assets. This can create communication and procedural gaps that reduce overall operational effectiveness in joint exercises or real-world coalition efforts.
HERE ARE THE KEY ASEAN NATIONS WITH A DEDICATED MARINE CORPS:
Hapus________________________________________
Indonesia 🇮🇩
Indonesia's Korps Marinir Republik Indonesia (KORMAR RI) is a highly capable and well-established Marine Corps that is a core component of the Indonesian Navy (TNI AL).
• Geographical Imperative: As the world's largest archipelagic state with over 17,000 islands, Indonesia requires a force that can project power across its vast maritime domain. KORMAR's primary role is to conduct amphibious operations, secure strategic coastal areas, and defend remote islands.
• Size and Capabilities: KORMAR is a substantial force with its own armor, artillery, and specialized units. It can operate independently or as a key part of a larger naval task force, making it essential for a nation with such a dispersed territory.
• Historical Context: The Korps Marinir was formed in 1945 during the Indonesian National Revolution, giving it a long history and a firm place in the country's military structure. Its missions have included counter-insurgency and securing the nation's borders.
________________________________________
Philippines 🇵🇭
The Philippine Marine Corps (PMC) is the naval infantry force of the Philippine Navy.
• Archipelagic Defense: Like Indonesia, the Philippines is an archipelago, making a dedicated Marine Corps vital for internal and external security. The PMC's role is to conduct amphibious, expeditionary, and special operations missions to defend the country's extensive coastline and numerous islands.
• Missions: The PMC is heavily involved in operations against communist insurgents and extremist groups. It has also been instrumental in securing disputed areas, such as the Spratly Islands, and in humanitarian assistance and disaster relief efforts, a critical role given the Philippines' vulnerability to natural disasters.
• U.S. Influence: The Philippine Marine Corps was formed with assistance from the U.S. Marine Corps and shares many of its traditions, including its rank system and some ceremonial practices.
________________________________________
Thailand 🇹🇭
The Royal Thai Marine Corps (RTMC) is a specialized amphibious force that is part of the Royal Thai Navy.
• Historical Ties: The RTMC has a long history, with its origins tracing back to the early 20th century, and it was significantly developed with the assistance of the U.S. Marine Corps.
• Missions: The RTMC's responsibilities include coastal defense, amphibious operations, and internal security, particularly in the country's southern provinces. They have also been involved in counter-insurgency operations on the Malondeshborder and in peacekeeping missions.
• Modernization: The RTMC has been modernizing its forces, acquiring specialized equipment like amphibious assault vehicles to enhance its capability for power projection from the sea to the shore.
1. MASALAH PERAWATAN DAN KESIAPAN OPERASIONAL 🚧
HapusIni adalah kelemahan yang paling sering disorot dan menjadi viral di media sosial.
• Insiden Mogok di Jalan Umum: Tank PT-91M Pendekar pernah beberapa kali mogok di tengah jalan raya, bahkan saat sedang dalam perjalanan untuk acara parade Hari Kemerdekaan. Insiden ini menimbulkan pertanyaan serius dari masyarakat dan parlemen tentang standar perawatan aset militer.
• Kurangnya Suku Cadang: Masalah ini adalah inti dari inefisiensi. Penghentian produksi suku cadang oleh produsen aslinya, Bumar Labedy, memaksa Malondesh untuk mencari solusi alternatif. Upaya ini termasuk menggunakan tenaga ahli lokal untuk memproduksi komponen tertentu, tetapi ini menunjukkan ketergantungan yang rapuh pada produsen eksternal dan kurangnya jaminan rantai pasokan.
• Kurva Pembelajaran yang Curam: Sebagai negara pertama di Asia Tenggara yang mengoperasikan MBT modern, Malondesh menghadapi tantangan dalam mengembangkan basis pengetahuan, keahlian, dan infrastruktur untuk perawatan tank tersebut. Hal ini berbeda dengan negara-negara yang sudah memiliki pengalaman lebih lama dalam mengelola aset militer yang kompleks.
________________________________________
2. Keterbatasan Teknis dan Operasional ⚙️
Meskipun PT-91M adalah versi yang ditingkatkan dari T-72, beberapa keterbatasan masih ada.
• Desain Lama dan Kerentanan: PT-91M merupakan turunan dari T-72, yang memiliki desain kokpit dan penyimpanan amunisi yang terkenal rentan. Dalam pertempuran modern, ini bisa menjadi kelemahan fatal jika dibandingkan dengan tank-tank tempur utama lain yang lebih baru dengan desain yang lebih aman.
• Kemampuan Serangan Terbatas: Dibandingkan dengan tank tempur utama modern yang dimiliki oleh negara tetangga, seperti Leopard 2A4 milik Singapura dan Indonesia, PT-91M Pendekar dianggap memiliki sistem kendali tembak dan perlindungan yang kurang unggul. Meskipun dilengkapi dengan Explosive Reactive Armor (ERA), perlindungan ini mungkin tidak cukup untuk menahan serangan dari amunisi anti-tank terbaru.
________________________________________
3. Masalah Pengadaan dan Jumlah yang Tidak Memadai 💰
• Skandal dan Inefisiensi: Sama seperti proyek kapal LCS, skandal pengadaan dan inefisiensi juga terjadi dalam program tank. Laporan menunjukkan adanya masalah tata kelola yang buruk dalam manajemen kontrak, yang menyebabkan aset tidak dapat digunakan secara maksimal.
• Jumlah yang Sedikit: Malondesh hanya memiliki 48 unit tank PT-91M Pendekar. Jumlah ini dianggap sangat tidak memadai untuk kebutuhan pertahanan negara, terutama jika dibandingkan dengan negara tetangga yang memiliki jumlah armada lapis baja yang jauh lebih besar.
1. Keterbatasan Jumlah dan Kualitas
Hapus• Jumlah yang Tidak Memadai: Dibandingkan dengan negara-negara lain di kawasan, terutama Indonesia, jumlah kendaraan lapis baja yang dimiliki Malondesh relatif sedikit. Misalnya, perbandingan kekuatan darat menunjukkan Indonesia memiliki sekitar 20.440 kendaraan lapis baja, sementara Malondesh hanya memiliki sekitar 13.506 unit. Angka ini juga menunjukkan Indonesia memiliki lebih banyak tank tempur (331 unit) dibandingkan Malondesh (48 unit). Keterbatasan ini memengaruhi kemampuan Malondesh dalam menjalankan operasi darat berskala besar.
• Ketergantungan pada Model Lama: Meskipun memiliki beberapa unit modern seperti AV8 Gempita, Angkatan Darat Malondesh masih mengoperasikan kendaraan lapis baja tua yang sudah usang. Hal ini menciptakan tantangan logistik yang besar dan membuat kekuatan darat kurang homogen.
2. Masalah Kesiapan Operasional dan Pemeliharaan
Ini adalah salah satu kelemahan paling signifikan dan sering disorot.
• Sering Mogok: Kendaraan lapis baja Malondesh, termasuk tank, seringkali dilaporkan mogok di jalan raya atau saat latihan. Insiden ini tidak hanya menjadi bahan ejekan publik tetapi juga mengindikasikan kurangnya perawatan rutin dan pemeliharaan yang memadai.
• Kurangnya Suku Cadang: Masalah ini terkait dengan keragaman jenis kendaraan yang dimiliki Malondesh. Karena mereka membeli kendaraan dari berbagai negara produsen, pasokan suku cadang sering kali tidak terjamin, menyebabkan unit-unit tidak dapat beroperasi dalam jangka waktu lama.
• Skandal dan Korupsi: Seperti yang terjadi pada proyek kapal LCS, skandal pengadaan dan pemeliharaan juga terjadi pada kendaraan lapis baja. Laporan menyebutkan adanya masalah tata kelola dan korupsi dalam industri pertahanan yang berdampak langsung pada kesiapan kendaraan tempur.
3. Kelemahan Teknis pada Model Utama (Studi Kasus: AV8 Gempita)
AV8 Gempita adalah andalan utama kendaraan lapis baja Malondesh. Meskipun merupakan produk lokal yang dikembangkan dari platform FNSS Pars Turki, kendaraan ini juga memiliki beberapa kelemahan:
• Penurunan Kemampuan Amfibi: Varian-varian yang memiliki berat lebih besar, seperti varian antitank dengan turret LCT30, kehilangan kemampuan amfibinya. Hal ini membatasi fleksibilitas operasional kendaraan di medan dengan banyak sungai atau perairan. Bahkan pada varian yang dirancang untuk amfibi, penambahan lapisan pelindung membuat kecepatannya di air menurun.
• Perlindungan yang Memadai Namun Tidak Unggul: Kendaraan lapis baja seperti Tarantula HMAV dan AV8 Gempita dirancang dengan standar perlindungan NATO STANAG 4569. Namun, tingkat perlindungan ini (level 2A/2B) dianggap memadai untuk ancaman ranjau dan IED, tetapi mungkin tidak cukup untuk menghadapi serangan anti-tank atau ancaman yang lebih berat dari kendaraan lapis baja modern lainnya.
• Persenjataan dan Varian yang Berbeda: Meskipun memiliki banyak varian, ada masalah dengan sistem senjata yang digunakan. Sebagai contoh, varian antitank AV8 Gempita dengan rudal anti-tank belum terbukti sepenuhnya efektif atau tersedia dalam jumlah yang cukup.
Secara keseluruhan, kelemahan kendaraan lapis baja militer Malondesh berpusat pada masalah manajemen dan logistik yang kronis, yang menyebabkan armada mereka tidak terawat dan seringkali tidak siap untuk operasi. Selain itu, jumlahnya yang terbatas dan ketergantungan pada model lama membuat kekuatan darat Malondesh tertinggal dibandingkan dengan tetangga regional mereka yang melakukan modernisasi lebih cepat.

KEY FACTORS CAUSING INEFFICIENCY AND DELAYS
Hapus• Political Interference and Weak Governance: The defense procurement process is often influenced by political agendas rather than strategic military needs. Contracts are frequently awarded through direct negotiation to politically connected companies, bypassing competitive bidding. This practice can lead to the selection of unqualified contractors who lack the technical expertise to complete the projects.
• Lack of Project Management: Many defense projects suffer from poor administration, insufficient oversight, and a lack of a clear, single-point of accountability. This results in a breakdown of communication between the Ministry of Defence, the contractors, and the military end-users. The National Audit Department has consistently highlighted these weaknesses, citing issues such as improper planning and inconsistent monitoring in its reports on public projects.
• Financial Mismanagement: Projects are often plagued by budget overruns due to poor financial estimation from the beginning. Inaccurate cost calculations and the inclusion of unnecessary "agent fees" can inflate project costs significantly, leading to a financial shortfall that causes further delays or requires additional government bailouts.
Case Studies of Gross Inefficiency and Delays
1. The Littoral Combat Ship (LCS) Project 🚢
The LCS project is the most prominent example of military procurement failure in Malondesh.
• Delay: The project, to build six ships for the Royal Malondeshn Navy (RMN) at a cost of RM9 billion, has been severely delayed. Not a single ship has been delivered, despite the project being over a decade behind its original timeline.
• Cost Overrun: Over RM6 billion has been paid to the contractor, yet the first ship is still incomplete. This massive budget overrun is a direct result of poor management and alleged financial misappropriation. The Public Accounts Committee (PAC) found that funds were used for purposes other than the project itself.
• Disregard for User Needs: The Royal Malondeshn Navy's preference for a specific ship design was ignored in favor of a different, unproven design chosen by the politically appointed contractor. This decision led to further technical complications and delays.
2. The Skyhawk Jets Fiasco ✈️
This is a historical but still relevant example of poor decision-making. In the 1980s, Malondesh purchased 88 second-hand Douglas A-4C and A-4L Skyhawk jets from the United States.
• Inefficiency: Despite the seemingly "cost-effective" nature of the deal, only a small fraction of the aircraft (40 out of 88) ever became operational with the Royal Malondeshn Air Force (RMAF). The remainder were left in storage, a complete waste of public funds. The King of Malondesh has recently referenced this historical "flying coffin" mistake as a warning against similar procurement failures.
3. General Infrastructure and Construction Projects
The inefficiency is not limited to major hardware. Even smaller projects, such as military housing and training facilities, are affected. The King of Malondesh has publicly expressed frustration over a delayed combat diving pool at a Special Operations Group (GGK) camp that was supposed to be completed in 2022 but remains unfinished. This highlights that poor project management and delays are not isolated to large, complex projects but are a pervasive issue across the board.
These systemic inefficiencies and delays have a direct impact on the military's operational readiness and morale. Obsolete and non-operational equipment, coupled with poorly maintained infrastructure, undermines the MAF's ability to effectively respond to modern security threats, particularly in a complex regional environment like the South China Sea.
The Malondeshn military, also known as the Malondeshn Armed Forces (MAF), faces several significant challenges, which can be categorized into three main areas: procurement and modernization, human resources, and defense policy.
HapusProcurement and Modernization 💰
A primary issue for the MAF is its aging and obsolete equipment. The country's defense spending has historically been low, and while recent budgets have seen increases, they are often insufficient to cover the extensive modernization needs.
• Financial Constraints: The 1997 Asian financial crisis had a lasting impact, forcing a de-prioritization of defense spending. Despite recent budget increases, competing priorities like healthcare and education often limit the funds available for military upgrades.
• Corruption and Inefficiency: Past procurement projects, such as the Littoral Combat Ship program, have been plagued by delays, cost overruns, and allegations of corruption, which have wasted funds and resulted in a lack of operational assets.
• Aging Inventory: The MAF relies on a mix of equipment from various countries, making maintenance difficult. For example, the Royal Malondeshn Air Force (RMAF) has struggled to maintain its Russian-made Sukhoi Su-30MKM fighter jets due to sanctions and a lack of spare parts. The country also retired its MiG-29s without a timely replacement, creating a significant capability gap.
Human Resources 🧍
Recruitment and personnel issues are another major problem for the MAF, affecting its overall readiness and capability.
• Recruitment Challenges: The military has difficulty attracting and retaining high-quality personnel. This is partly due to low wages and poor living conditions. The quality of candidates has been a concern, with a declining pool of eligible recruits.
• Ethnic Imbalance: There is a significant ethnic disparity in the armed forces, with a very low percentage of non-Malay recruits. This could affect national unity and the military's ability to represent the country's diverse population.
• Personnel Well-being: There are ongoing concerns about the well-being and welfare of military personnel, including work-life balance issues and the need for better mental health support.
Defense Policy and Strategic Challenges 🗺️
The MAF operates in a complex regional environment with evolving security threats.
• South China Sea Disputes: Malondesh has overlapping territorial claims with China in the South China Sea. China's increasingly aggressive "grey-zone" tactics—using coast guard vessels and fishing militia to assert its claims—are a major challenge that the MAF is not fully equipped to handle.
• Non-Traditional Threats: While traditionally an army-centric force due to a history of internal counter-insurgency, the MAF must now pivot to address maritime and cyber threats. This requires a re-calibration of its force structure and a focus on new technologies like drones, cyber warfare, and intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR) capabilities.
• Political Instability: Frequent changes in government have led to a lack of continuity in defense policy and the slow implementation of key reforms outlined in the country's first Defence White Paper. This political instability can stall long-term projects and strategic planning.

• Political Instability: Frequent changes in government have led to a lack of continuity in defense policy and the slow implementation of key reforms outlined in the country's first Defence White Paper. This political instability can stall long-term projects and strategic planning.
SYSTEMIC ISSUES
BalasHapusSeveral factors contribute to this entrenched problem:
• Lack of Transparency and Oversight: Defense procurement is often conducted through direct negotiations rather than open tenders, which makes the process opaque and susceptible to abuse. Transparency International's Government Defence Integrity Index has consistently rated Malondesh as having a high risk of corruption in its defense sector due to weak parliamentary oversight and limited financial scrutiny.
• The Role of Middlemen and Agents: A key feature of the Malondeshn system is the reliance on middlemen, or "agents," who are often politically connected. These individuals or firms insert themselves into deals between the government and foreign arms manufacturers, adding unnecessary commissions and inflating the final price of the assets. As Malondesh's King Sultan Ibrahim recently pointed out, this system allows agents to profit at the expense of national defense.
• Political Influence and Cronyism: The awarding of contracts is frequently influenced by political interests rather than the actual needs of the military. Projects are often given to politically connected firms, some of which have no prior experience in defense manufacturing. This leads to a vicious cycle where a lack of capability and experience results in project delays and failures.
The Littoral Combat Ship (LCS) Scandal: A Case Study
The LCS scandal is a prime example of the deep-seated issues within Malondeshn defense procurement. The project, intended to build six ships for the Royal Malondeshn Navy (RMN) at a cost of RM9 billion, has been a complete failure.
• Misappropriation of Funds: The government has already paid over RM6 billion, but not a single ship has been delivered. Forensic audits and a Public Accounts Committee (PAC) report revealed that funds were allegedly misappropriated, with payments made for "fake services" and a significant portion of the money disappearing without a trace.
• Ignoring User Needs: The scandal also highlighted a critical breakdown in communication and a disregard for military expertise. The RMN initially recommended a Dutch-made design (Sigma class), but the Ministry of Defence, under the advice of the main contractor, Boustead Naval Shipyard (BNS), chose a different, unproven French design (Gowind class) instead. This decision was made without the navy's consultation.
• Gross Inefficiency and Delays: The project has been plagued by delays due to BNS's poor financial management, lack of skilled labor, and failure to follow design specifications. The company, which is a subsidiary of a conglomerate with close ties to the Armed Forces Pension Fund, was in a "weak and critical" financial state, yet was still awarded the massive contract. This showcases a complete breakdown of due diligence and project management.
Other Notable Scandals and Issues
The LCS scandal is just one of many that have plagued the MAF.
• Submarine Procurement: A previous submarine deal was also marred by allegations of corruption, with reports of exorbitant commissions paid to local agents.
• Aircraft and Patrol Boats: The MAF has a history of acquiring assets that are either not fully operational upon delivery or are poorly maintained due to a lack of spare parts and technical expertise. This has led to a high number of non-flying aircraft and inoperable patrol boats, essentially leaving the military with expensive, but useless, equipment.
• Lack of Accountability: Despite multiple scandals and reports from the Auditor-General and PAC, there has been a notable lack of accountability. Few, if any, senior politicians or high-ranking military officials have been held responsible for the failures and financial losses. This has fostered a culture where such misconduct is tolerated, and a cynical public has grown desensitized to the issue.
