Panglima TNI Jenderal Endriartono Sutarto mengemukakan, beberapa negara barat hingga kini masih menerapkan embargo peralatan militer, sehingga kesiapan sistem senjata, utamanya senjata strategis, mengalami penurunan drastis.
“Kondisi seperti ini tentu sangat memprihatinkan,” katanya dalam sambutan pada pemotongan baja pertama, first steel cutting, pembuatan Kapal Korvet Nasional di PT PAL Indonesia, Surabaya, Jumat.
Panglima TNI Jenderal Endriartono Sutarto mengemukakan, beberapa negara barat hingga kini masih menerapkan embargo peralatan militer, sehingga kesiapan sistem senjata, utamanya senjata strategis, mengalami penurunan drastis.
“Kondisi seperti ini tentu sangat memprihatinkan,” katanya dalam sambutan pada pemotongan baja pertama, first steel cutting, pembuatan Kapal Korvet Nasional di PT PAL Indonesia, Surabaya, Jumat.
Belajar dari situasi seperti itu, khususnya dalam mengurangi ketergantungan terhadap negara lain, lanjutnya, TNI terus berupaya mencari berbagai alternatif termasuk diantaranya meningkatkan kerjasama dengan industri-industri startegis dalam negeri.
Kerjasama tersebut, katanya, selain untuk memajukan industri nasional dalam mewujdukan kemandirian teknologi juga agar industri strategis Indonesia akan dapat berperan sebagai pelopor kegiatan riset dan pengembangan teknologi kemiliteran dan selanjutnya mampu memproduksi alat utama sistem senjata (alutsista).
Menurut Panglima TNI, pembangunan kemampuan pertahanan merupakan faktor penting dan menentukan untuk mewujudkan suatu bangsa maju dan mandiri. Pembangunan bidang pertahanan tidak terlepas dari sejarah teknologi bangsa Indonesia. “Era kebangkitan teknologi telah kita mulai,” ucapnya.
Karena itu, dalam acara yang dihadiri Menteri Perindustrian dan Perdagangan, Rini MS Soewandi, KSAL Laksamana TNI Bernard Kent Sondakh dan sejumlah perwira tinggi tersebut, Endriartono Sutarto, menyampaikan pernghargaan yang tinggi kepada semua pihak yang terlibat dalam pembangunan korvet nasional.
Panglima TNI optimistis dengan upaya keras serta komitmen dan tekad bersama akan dapat mewujudkan cita-cita sebagai bangsa yang mau dan mandiri.
Di masa datang, katanya, program-program pembangunan kapal seperti dilakukan di PT PAL Indonesia bisa terus didukung sehingga secara bertahap kebutuhan alutsista TNI dari hasil produksi nasional.
Momen bersejarah
Panglima TNI menilai, acara first steel cutting Kapal Korvet Nasional di PT PAL Indonesia memiliki arti strategis sebagai refleksi rasa tanggung jawab serta tekad dan semangat untuk mengaktualisasikan terwujdunya TNI yang kuat dan handal.
Selain itu, lanjutnya, momen itu juga merupakan momen bersejarah sebagai embrio atas kemandirian nasional bangsa Indonesia dalam pembangunan kekuatan militer, khususnya pembangunan kapal perang.
Indonesia sebagai negara kepulauan terbesar di dunia membutuhkan Angkatan Laut yang kuat maka Indonesia dapat menegakkan kewibawaan dan kehormatan terhadap pihak-pihak yang berupaya melakukan pelanggaran kedaulatan maupun pelanggaran hukum di wilayah laut Indonesia.
Karena itu, konsekuensi tantangan tugas TNI AL kedepan yang semakin kompleks, maka pembangunan kekuatan TNI AL di abad 21 menuju Angkatan Laut yang besar, kuat dan profesional mutlak dibutuhkan.
Pembangunan kemampuan pertahanan merupakan faktor penting dan menentukan untuk mewujudkan suatu bangsa maju dan mandiri. Pembangunan bidang pertahanan tidak terlepas dari pembangunan bidang teknologi pertahanan yang intinya adalah penguasaan teknologi pertahanan.
Program korvet nasional, kata Endriartono Sutarto, awalnya hanya merupakan mimpi, karena kapal jenis korvet adalah merupakan kapal perang berteknologi tinggi.
Namun angan-angan tersebut mendorong tekad untuk menjadikan bangsa Indonesia yang mandiri, tidak tergantung kepada negara lain. Karena itu, pencanangan pembangunan kapal perang Angkatan Laut jenis korvet oleh industri dalam negeri merupakan sebuah sejarah besar dan layak ditorehkan tinta emas dalam sejarah teknologi bangsa Indonesia.

In war, do mass and materiel matter most? Will states with the largest, best equipped, information-technology-rich militaries invariably win? The prevailing answer today among both scholars and policymakers is yes. But this is to overlook force employment, or the doctrine and tactics by which materiel is actually used. In a landmark reconception of battle and war, this book provides a systematic account of how force employment interacts with materiel to produce real combat outcomes. Stephen Biddle argues that force employment is central to modern war, becoming increasingly important since 1900 as the key to surviving ever more lethal weaponry. Technological change produces opposite effects depending on how forces are employed; to focus only on materiel is thus to risk major error--with serious consequences for both policy and scholarship.
In clear, fluent prose, Biddle provides a systematic account of force employment's role and shows how this account holds up under rigorous,...

"Speak softly and carry a big stick" Theodore Roosevelt famously said in 1901, when the United States was emerging as a great power. It was the right sentiment, perhaps, in an age of imperial rivalry but today many Americans doubt the utility of their global military presence, thinking it outdated, unnecessary or even dangerous. In The Big Stick, Eliot A. Cohen-a scholar and practitioner of international relations-disagrees. He argues that hard power remains essential for American foreign policy. While acknowledging that the US must be careful about why, when, and how it uses force, he insists that its international role is as critical as ever, and armed force is vital to that role. Cohen explains that American leaders must learn to use hard power in new ways and for new circumstances. The rise of a well-armed China, Russia's conquest of Crimea and eastern Ukraine, nuclear threats from North Korea and Iran, and the spread of radical Islamist movements like ISIS are some of the key...

The Lost Tales of Power is a collection of novels that describe an immense persistent multiverse. The books are a mixture of standalone and miniseries all set in the same universe with overlapping and intertwining storylines. Included in this collection is the full text of Enemy of an Enemy, The Academy, and Rise of Shadows. Enemy of an Enemy: Vydor is riding a wave of success, but now his ship, the Dragon Claw, is being sent to investigate a mysterious event deep within the Empire’s space. A secret research colony has fallen silent and the forces sent to investigate were never heard from again. A new enemy has come to the Empire bringing with it dark powers that were abandoned long before the Empire was born. Powers that were thought to be legends and myths. It's up to Vydor to keep this force at bay and protect the Empire, but it may come at the cost of his faith and shake the foundations of the Empire itself. The Academy: The Empire had fallen, and the Imperial Navy was disbanded...

| Title | China's Military Power |
Once termed the "world's largest military museum," the Chinese military has made enormous progress over the past twenty years. With skyrocketing military budgets and new technology, China's tanks, aircraft, destroyers, and missile capabilities are becoming comparable to those of the United States. If these trends continue, how powerful will the Chinese military be in the future? Will its capabilities soon rival or surpass those of the United States? The most comprehensive study of its kind, this book provides a detailed assessment of China's military capabilities in 2000 and 2010 with projections for 2020. It is the first of its kind in outlining a rigorous, theoretically- and empirically-grounded framework for assessing military capability based on not just weaponry but also doctrine, training, equipment, and organizational structure. This framework provides not only the most accurate assessment of China's military to date but an important new tool in the study of military history.

Because he has a freewheeling mind and is unhampered by orthodox military terms and the prevailing dogmas, his book will be of keen interest to laymen concerned about our nation's welfare and future.

| Title | Thai Military Power: A Culture of Strategic Accommodation (NIAS Monographs) |
Being at the centre of the vital Asia–Pacific region, Thailand is important. But, despite its large population and powerful military forces performing significant roles in state and society, Thailand has little military power. Why is this? Using strategic culture as an analytical framework, this book portrays the Thai state as an accommodative actor. When Western empires dominated in Asia, Thailand ‘bent in the wind’ to preserve its independence by a limited trading of territory and sovereignty. This policy continues today in different forms. A key feature is that military organizational culture reinforces a state ideology of royalist nationalism, in turn reinforcing the national strategic culture. Significant here is internal political acceptance not just of military domination in civil–military relations but also of the Thai military’s limitations in state-on-state combat. The author finds such ‘underbalancing’ – not responding to threat, or responding inadequately – elsewhere in...

Today when you factor in the interest on the national debt from past wars and total defense expenditures the United States spends almost 40% of its federal budget on the military. It accounts for over 46% of total world arms spending. Before World War II it spent almost nothing on defense and hardly anyone paid any income taxes. You can't have big wars without big government. Such big expenditures are now threatening to harm the national economy. How did this situation come to be? In this book you'll learn how in the critical twenty years after World War II the United States changed from being a continental democratic republic to a global imperial superpower. Since then nothing has ever been the same again. In this book you will discover this secret history of the United States that formed the basis of the world we live in today. By buying this book you will discover: - How the end of European colonialism created a power vacuum that the United States used to create a new type of...
