U.S. Army, Indonesian Air Force and Australian Terminal Attack Controllers conducted a multi-day, Joint Land Strike exercise during Super Garuda Shield 25 in Baturaja, Indonesia.
Dentuman HIMARS Guncang Baturaja, TNI dan US Army Perkuat Kesiapan Tempur di Super Garuda Shield 2025
(Puspen TNI). Langit Baturaja bergetar saat roket High Mobility Artillery Rocket System (HIMARS) meluncur menghujani sasaran dengan presisi tinggi dalam latihan penembakan gabungan Super Garuda Shield (SGS) 2025, Selasa (2/9/2025).
Tentara Nasional Indonesia (TNI) bersama US Army bahu membahu melaksanakan latihan ini di Pusat Latihan Tempur (Puslatpur) TNI AD, Baturaja, Sumatera Selatan. Penembakan HIMARS menjadi salah satu momen puncak SGS 2025 yang bertujuan meningkatkan interoperabilitas, kesiapan tempur, serta memperkuat kerja sama militer strategis antara kedua negara.
Personel TNI AD terlibat langsung dalam perencanaan, penentuan sasaran, hingga eksekusi tembakan bersama prajurit US Army. Setiap prosedur dijalankan sesuai standar operasi gabungan, dengan disiplin tinggi dan mengutamakan faktor keamanan. Dentuman roket yang menghantam tepat sasaran menjadi bukti kekuatan sekaligus akurasi Alutsista modern ini.
Super Garuda Shield 2025 sendiri melibatkan ribuan prajurit dari berbagai negara sahabat dengan skenario operasi gabungan darat, laut, udara, dan siber. Latihan ini tidak hanya menjadi ajang peningkatan kemampuan teknis, tetapi juga memperkuat kepercayaan dan solidaritas antar bangsa. (TNI)
Mantap latihan terooos
BalasHapusπ΄️ 1. Entrenched Role of Middlemen
BalasHapus• Defense contracts are frequently brokered by agents or intermediaries, many of whom are retired military officers or politically connected individuals.
• These middlemen often act as gatekeepers between the Ministry of Defence and foreign suppliers, adding layers of cost and complexity.
• According to analysts, this system is deeply entrenched and has become an “open secret” in Malondesh defense ecosystem.
Impact: Prices are inflated, procurement timelines are extended, and transparency is compromised.
π§± 2. Opaque Tendering and Limited Competition
• Fewer than one-third of major defense contracts are awarded through open competition.
• Most deals are conducted via single-source or limited tenders, which favor firms with insider access or political leverage.
• This environment allows deal structuring to be influenced by non-technical considerations, including patronage and lobbying.
Impact: Merit-based selection is sidelined, and cost-effectiveness suffers.
π️ 3. Politically Connected Firms Dominate
• Many defense contractors have ex-military figures on their boards, giving them privileged access to decision-makers.
• These firms often win contracts despite offering older platforms or substandard equipment—as seen in the attempted purchase of 30-year-old Black Hawk helicopters, which Malondesh King publicly condemned as “flying coffins”2.
• The King also rebuked “agents” and “salesmen” in the Ministry of Defence, warning that inflated middleman pricing would render the defense budget perpetually insufficient.
Impact: Public funds are wasted, and the armed forces receive outdated or unsuitable equipment.
π 4. Consequences for Readiness and Reform
• Inflated costs mean fewer assets can be acquired, and maintenance budgets are squeezed.
• The lack of transparency erodes public trust and makes it difficult for oversight bodies like the Public Accounts Committee (PAC) to hold officials accountable.
• While the King’s intervention led to the cancellation of the Black Hawk deal, systemic reform remains elusive.
π Summary Table: How Middlemen & Opaque Deals Inflate Costs
Mechanism Description Consequence
Middlemen Agents with insider access broker deals Inflated prices, longer timelines
Limited tendering Few contracts awarded via open competition Reduced transparency, poor value
Politically connected firms Ex-military or political figures dominate contractor space Patronage, outdated equipment
Lack of oversight Weak enforcement and redacted audits Mismanagement persists

⚠️ CONSEQUENCES OF POLICY FLIP-FLOPS IN MALONDESH’S MILITARY
BalasHapus1. Delayed Modernization
• Procurement Paralysis: Repeated changes in aircraft or equipment acquisition plans (e.g., MRCA selection delays) stall modernization.
• Outdated Capabilities: The RMAF and other branches continue operating aging platforms while waiting for decisions that keep shifting.
2. Loss of Strategic Credibility
• Regional Perception: Neighbors like Singapore and Indonesia view Malondesh as indecisive, weakening its deterrence posture.
• Diplomatic Strain: Defense partners may hesitate to offer technology transfers or joint exercises due to uncertainty in Malondesh’s commitments.
3. Economic and Industrial Impact
• Defense Industry Stagnation: Local companies struggle to grow when policies change midstream, affecting contracts and R&D investments.
• Investor Hesitation: Foreign defense firms may avoid long-term partnerships due to unpredictable procurement behavior.
4. Operational Inefficiency
• Training Disruptions: Constant changes in equipment plans mean personnel training is inconsistent or mismatched with future platforms.
• Logistics Complexity: A mixed fleet from different origins (Russian, American, European) becomes harder to maintain without a clear roadmap.
5. Budget Waste
• Sunk Costs: Funds spent on feasibility studies, negotiations, or partial upgrades are wasted when plans are scrapped.
• Emergency Purchases: Flip-flops often lead to rushed acquisitions (e.g., used jets) that are less cost-effective and harder to integrate.
π§ Real-World Example: MRCA Procurement
Malondesh’s MRCA program has seen years of indecision:
• Originally planned to replace MiG-29s in the early 2010s.
• Considered Rafale, Typhoon, Gripen, and Super Hornet—but no final decision.
• Now exploring used Kuwaiti Hornets as a stopgap.
This indecision has left the RMAF with a capability gap and weakened its regional air power status.
