Russian export agency Rosoboronexport has agreed to enhance the transfer of military technologies and related knowhow to Indonesia to improve local capabilities and the operation of Russian platforms in service with the Indonesian Armed Forces (TNI).

A statement by the Indonesian Ministry of Defence (MoD) on 8 December said following meetings with Rosoboronexport, the Russian agency agreed to prioritise technology transfers that would enable both the TNI and Indonesian industry to provide enhanced “care and maintenance” for procured Russian systems.

The MoD quoted Rosoboronexport Director General Anatoly Isaykin as saying that Russian-Indonesian co-operation had now “entered a new phase, namely military-engineering collaboration”.
