Irak & Iran Membeli Senjata Buatan Indonesia

Senjata produksi Indonesia sesungguhnya sudah diakui dunia. Banyak negara yang membeli termasuk Irak, negeri 1001 malam yang masih bergolak sepeninggal Sadam Hussein. Proses penjajakan jual beli senjata dengan negeri itu sudah dimulai semenjak masa pendudukan Amerika berakhir pada 2003 lalu.  Sesudah melewati proses yang panjang,  Irak akhirnya memutuskan siap memborong senjata produksi Indonesia. Kisah penjajakan jual beli senjata dengan Irak itu dituturkan Direktur Utama PT Pindad, Adik Afianto kepada VIVAnews.com.  Komunikasi dengan pemerintah Irak, katanya, sudah berlangsung lama. "Komunikasi saat itu baru sebatas penjajakan tentang kerjasama berbagai hal," katanya. Adik menjadi  Ketua Tim Koordinator Kerjasama Industri Pertahanan ini dengan Irak.

Puncak dari negosiasi itu adalah ketika Perdana Menteri Irak berkunjung ke Indonesia beberapa waktu lalu. Dia datang untuk memastikan penjajakan kerjasama itu. Sesudah itu negosiasi kemudian dilakukan di level teknis.
Adik dan timnya baru pulang dari Irak empat hari sebelum Lebaran kemarin.
"Alhamdulilah Irak serius dan tidak hanya dengan Pindad, melainkan dengan seluruh industri militer di Indonesia," kata Adik.

Irak memang berencana membeli alutsista dalam jumlah besar dari sejumlah industri strategis di Indonesia. Tidak hanya Pindad, tapi  PT PAL Indonesia (Persero), PT Dirgantara Indonesia, serta beberapa sentra industri kemiliteran lain.

Berapa jumlah senjata yang akan diborong? Adik  belum bisa mempublikasikannya. Tapi jenis senjata yang akan dibeli sudah ada dalam daftar. Adik sendiri yakin Irak akan berpaling ke Indonesia dalam hal kerjasama industri militer. the-pencilpants.blogspot.com

Inspectors Confirm New Work at Secure Nuclear Site

Inspectors Confirm New Work at Secure Nuclear Site
In late August 2012, international nuclear inspectors reported that Iran has already installed three-quarters of the nuclear centrifuges it needs to complete a deep-underground site for the production of nuclear fuel. The finding is likely to affirm the belief of Israeli officials that President Obama must make clear his intention to halt Iran’s program or give tacit approval for Israel to act on its own.
The report by the International Atomic Energy Agency, the last to be issued before the American presidential election, lays out in detail how Iran has used the summer to double the number of centrifuges installed deep under a mountain near the holy city of Qum, while cleansing another site where the agency has said it suspects that the country has conducted explosive experiments that could be “relevant” to the production of a nuclear weapon. Based on satellite photographs, the I.A.E.A. said the cleanup has been so extensive that it would “significantly hamper” the ability of inspectors to understand what kind of work took place there.

Secret Iran Attack Plan

For much of the last decade, as Iran methodically built its nuclear program, Israel has been assembling a multibillion-dollar array of high-tech weapons that would allow it to jam, blind, and deafen Tehran's defenses in the case of a pre-emptive aerial strike.

A U.S. intelligence assessment this summer, described to The Daily Beast by current and former U.S. intelligence officials, concluded that any Israeli attack on hardened nuclear sites in Iran would go far beyond airstrikes from F-15 and F-16 fighter planes and likely include electronic warfare against Iran’s electric grid, Internet, cellphone network, and emergency frequencies for firemen and police officers.

For example, Israel has developed a weapon capable of mimicking a maintenance cellphone signal that commands a cell network to “sleep,” effectively stopping transmissions, officials confirmed. The Israelis also have jammers capable of creating interference within Iran’s emergency frequencies for first responders.

In a 2007 attack on a suspected nuclear site at al-Kibar, the Syrian military got a taste of this warfare when Israeli planes “spoofed” the country’s air-defense radars, at first making it appear that no jets were in the sky and then in an instant making the radar believe the sky was filled with hundreds of planes.

Israel also likely would exploit a vulnerability that U.S. officials detected two years ago in Iran's big-city electric grids, which are not “air-gapped”—meaning they are connected to the Internet and therefore vulnerable to a Stuxnet-style cyberattack—officials say.

A highly secretive research lab attached to the U.S. joint staff and combatant commands, known as the Joint Warfare Analysis Center (JWAC), discovered the weakness in Iran’s electrical grid in 2009, according to one retired senior military intelligence officer. This source also said the Israelis have the capability to bring a denial-of-service attack to nodes of Iran’s command and control system that rely on the Internet.

Tony Decarbo, the executive officer for JWAC, declined comment for this story.  The likely delivery method for the electronic elements of this attack would be an unmanned aerial vehicle the size of a jumbo jet. An earlier version of the bird was called the Heron, the latest version is known as the Eitan. According to the Israeli press, the Eitan can fly for 20 straight hours and carry a payload of one ton. Another version of the drone, however, can fly up to 45 straight hours, according to U.S. and Israeli officials. 

Unmanned drones have been an integral part of U.S. wars in Iraq, Afghanistan, and Pakistan, gathering intelligence and firing missiles at suspected insurgents. But Israel's fleet has been specially fitted for electronic warfare, according to officials.

Nuclear Program

Nuclear Program: New Sanctions Imposed by the West
Iran and the West have been at odds over its nuclear program for years. But the dispute has picked up steam since November 2011, with new findings by international inspectors, tougher sanctions by the United States and Europe against Iran’s oil exports, threats by Iran to shut the Strait of Hormuz to oil shipments and Israel signaling increasing readiness to attack Iran’s nuclear facilities.
In the summer of 2012, after years of attempting to halt Iran’s nuclear program with diplomacy, sanctions and sabotage, the Obama administration and its allies imposed sweeping new sanctions meant to cut Iran off from the global oil market.
First, in late June, the United States imposed sanctions that could punish any foreign country that buys Iranian oil. However, it issued six-month exemptions to 20 importers of Iranian oil who have significantly cut their purchases, including China, which has openly opposed the pressure on Iran.
Then, on July 1, the European Union put in place a complete embargo of oil imports from Iran, which was the Continent’s sixth-biggest supplier of crude in 2011.
On July 30, House and Senate negotiators in Washington reached an agreement on a new round of sanctions that would crack down on energy, shipping and insurance sectors.
Iran responded to the new sanctions with a series of defiant steps, announcing legislation intended to disrupt traffic in the Strait of Hormuz and testing missiles in a desert drill clearly intended as a warning to Israel and the United States. At the same time, the United States was completing a significant military buildup in the Persian Gulf meant to give it greater ability to keep the strait open — but at the risk of a clash with Iran’s Revolutionary  Guards.
Even before these steps, Iran conceded that its oil exports were down 20 to 30 percent. Its currency has plunged more than 40 percent against the dollar since 2011. But so far the escalating sanctions, which the Bush administration started and the Obama administration has intensified, have failed in their central goal of forcing Iran’s mullahs to stop enriching uranium.
