Indonesia: 'green water navy'

[ComradeVortex]

Honestly, these type of boats should be more of a Bakamla asset, not a Navy asset.

As long as Maritime Constabulary jurisdiction is not being politically clear and supported as implementations, patrol vessels will still build up by various agencies.

Maritime Constabularies now being literally fought on between Bakamla, Navy, Fisheries, Transport, Customs and Police. Enough Patrol vessels between them already, but each try hold on on their own turf. This matter already problematic for decades, but maritime slice of cakes is tempting.

12 AAV7 ex USMC from batch of 35, previously reported as only 10. This being talk as part of 1st batch. Shown using add on armour and weapon station standard USMC.

Different from existing 15 AAV7 ex ROK Marines on armour and weapon station. Well better this then BTR-50.

So these are actually AAVP7A1s/LVTP7A1s, with those Up-Gunned Weapon Station (UGWS) for the Personnel variant, as well as appliqué armor kits and bow planes.


Here a video of the arrival.

It's another multi agency mess that leads to inefficiency and miscoordination, Bakamla should be the main body and take on the job of Fisheries, Transport, Customs.

Many such cases...

This is what the main cause of all this conflicting maritime constabularies claim. The regulations its self are not clear cut on whose handle who, and each jurisdiction.

Basically what Supreme Court say to parliement:

1. Rebuild the regulation on Bakamla,
2. Make it clear who has the jurisdiction on maritime cobstabularies function.

Means all conflicting regulations has to sort out, not just making one regulations. This come from legal challenge coming from some civil servants union from Ministry of Transport. Like I said before the 'cake' for maritime jurusdiction is just to delicious for those bureaucrats, that they will fought for it.

The legistaltion for Bakamla as Coast Guard has to make sure all other conflicting regulations and legistations on other agencies has to be taken out and merge to new Coast Guard functions.

In paper there'are enough patrol boats from all agencies now to make good base for credible white hull institution. Will just see how this going to resolve.
