Jakarta – Member of the House of Representatives Commission I PDIP Faction TB Hasanuddin conveyed the urgency of the needs of the Navy’s Navy Navy to have a foreign submarine. He said Indonesian waters are quite extensive, so it should be optimally controlled. “Why is the urgent and (submarine tracking device) important like this? First, we are a very broad area, the sea area is yes. Then with varying depth,” TB Hasanuddin told AFP on Tuesday (4/29/2025). With such waters he continued, it is difficult to control the fleet with existing defense equipment. TB Hasanuddin also emphasized the limited number of submarines owned by Indonesia. Browse to continue with the content “to close it all, so you have to have a tracking device, so you have a lot of submarines,” he explained. He said the limitations of obtaining foreign submarine detection equipment have been the budget so far. Then, according to him, there are other priorities. “We are still a priority for the defense equipment needed, namely ships and submarines. If the detection is detected, the right to the infiltrated tracking equipment is the enemy, yes,” he explained. TB Hasanuddin said it needed a huge fee to obtain foreign submarine detectors. He also said the instrument should be transferred by technology. “But back again, it seems that it was not a priority yet, yes. Because the infiltration of foreign submarines is not too much,” he said. In this era, however, the state must set aside funds for urgent purposes. In addition, it is for national defense issues. “Yes, hopefully. We leave it to the government, yes. In the efficiency, we will also have to set aside for urgent purposes, yes. Oh, it is also for national defense, yes. For the security of the state,” he said. Previously, the Navy Staff Chief (KSAL) Admiral Tni Muhammad Ali said that his party had not had a sonar tracking of foreign submarines at this time. It was transferred by Ali during a hearing with the House of Representatives Commission I in the Senayan Parliament Complex, Central Jakarta, Monday (4/28/2025). “The achievements of Sispuscodal are extensive in the aspect of long -distance oversight up to 50%, the coastal area and territorial waters are 30%, underwater supervision 0%,” Ali said. “This supervision of underwater has not a censorship at all, but only submitted to the Ministry of Defense,” he said. Ali acknowledged that the Navy is still having trouble detecting foreign submarines approaching the Indonesian Sea area. This, he said, was due to the absence of a sub -marine tracking tool owned by the Navy. “So there must be a fixed detection sonar, so it is installed under the sea, but we still don’t have it that our weaknesses are detected by foreign submarines by Alki (Indonesian Archipelagon Sea Channel), we can’t monitor,” he said.
