LOCKHEED MARTIN, BELL, BOEING DATANG KE RI, AS KUMPULKAN 36 PERUSAHAAN PERTAHANAN DI JAKARTA ADA APA

LOCKHEED MARTIN, BELL, BOEING COMES TO RI, US Gathers 36 DEFENSE COMPANIES IN JAKARTA. WHAT'S GOING ON? In this video, we discuss the important meeting between the Indonesian and United States defense industries, held at the United States Embassy in Jakarta on June 26, 2026. This forum brought together 36 defense companies from both countries, including PT Pindad, PT PAL Indonesia, GMF AeroAsia, Lockheed Martin, Boeing, Bell, and various other major companies. However, this meeting apparently wasn't just about discussing defense equipment sales. The United States began offering much broader cooperation, ranging from modernizing Indonesia's defense, strengthening domestic industry, building global supply chains, transferring capabilities, and even providing Maintenance, Repair, and Overhaul (MRO) opportunities for various military platforms. So, the question is, why is the United States now increasingly actively approaching Indonesia? Is it related to the Free and Open Indo-Pacific strategy? Why, after the industry forum concluded, did the American delegation immediately continue discussions with high-ranking Indonesian National Armed Forces (TNI) officials? Let's examine and thoroughly review the geopolitical background, US interests, opportunities for the Indonesian defense industry, and potential strategic projects that could emerge in the next few years. Will Indonesia become one of America's key defense industry partners in the Indo-Pacific region? Or is this part of an increasingly heated geopolitical rivalry? What do you think? Will this collaboration bring significant benefits to Indonesia or pose new challenges amidst global power rivalry? Watch the video until the end.
