Kementerian Pertahanan Indonesia memastikan membeli tank berat (Main Battle Tank) Leopard dari Jerman sebanyak 100 unit dalam rangka modernisasi alutsista TNI - AD. Rencana semula tank berat Leopard akan dibeli dari
Belanda.
Belanda.
"Khusus TNI AD, kita telah putuskan membeli tank berat leopard dari Jerman dengan pertimbangan memperoleh kepastian waktu dan target dari volume peralatan militer yang kita perlukan," kata Wamenhan Sjafrie Syamsuddin kepada wartawan di Jakarta, Senin (2/7).
Menurut Wamenhan, rencana pembelian MBT Leopard dari Belanda
dihentikan sehingga fokus pembelian tank yang berasal dari Jerman tersebut berjalan lancar.
Dijelaskan Sjafrie, alokasi anggaran sebesar 280juta dolar AS, yang diperlukan diproses berdasarkan alokasi pinjaman luar negeri, dimana prosesnya melalui grend book maupun blue book baik dari Bapennas maupun Kementerian Keuangan.
"Saat ini proses dilakukan secara akselerasi, dan pararel sehingga dalam waktu satu minggu kita akan segera memperoleh kepastian-kepastian dari aspek pengadaan dan pembiayaan dan tentu saja diikuti oleh aspek pengawasan yang dilaksanakan oleh tim pencegahan dan penyimpangan pengadaan barang dan jasa dengan melibatkan BPKP, LKTP dan Itjen Kemhan serta Mabes TNI dan angkatan," ungkapnya.
"Jumlah yang diinginkan dalam pengadaan tank ini kurang lebih 100 unit, dari jumlah tersebut, kita inginkan 15 unit sudah berada di Indonesia pada Oktober 2012," terangnya.
Dia menambahkan pertimbangan pembelian Main Battle Tank Leopard dari Belanda tidak diteruskan karena faktor kepastian waktu dan kepastian proses yang diperlukan tidak satupun ditanggapi pihak Belanda.
Terkait keinginan Kemhan agar 15 unit tank berat Jerman itu sudah berada di Indonesia Oktober 2012, penempatannya menurut Sjafrie sepenuhnya kewenangan Mabes TNI Angkatan Darat.

The Indonesian Army has decided to procure up to 100 refurbished Leopard 2A6 main battle tanks (MBT) worth US$280 million from Germany and ruled out previous plan to buy similar tanks from the Netherlands, Deputy Defense Minister Lt. Gen. (ret) Sjafrie Sjamsoeddin said on Monday.
“We chose Germany because we can have certainties in terms of time of procurement and volume to meet our needs,” Sjafrie told a press conference at his office. “We have stopped the ongoing processes with the Netherlands to let us focus on the procurement from Germany.”
The government would use foreign loans for the procurement, he added.
The Dutch government previously had issues with its parliament in the procurement plan, mainly considering alleged rampant human rights abuses in Indonesia.
The first 15 MBTs are expected to arrive in Indonesia in October. The remainders would gradually arrive until the middle of 2014, Sjafrie said.
The Indonesian Army said it needed to modernize its weapons systems with MBTs because it only had light tanks such as the British-made Scorpion and French-made AMX13, which weighed 8 and 14 tons respectively. The Leopard 2A6 MBT each weighs well over 60 tons.
