The Alutsista Audit
THE report by the inspector-general of the Defense Ministry on the purchase of rocket launchers by the Indonesian Army (TNI-AD) in 2012 must be treated seriously by the government. According to the inspectorate, the purchase violated regulations on materiel and service procurement, and caused a Rp1 trillion loss to the state.
In fact, the finding was submitted to the Defense Minister, who at that time was Purnomo Yusgiantoro. But he ignored it. Not long after the Astros II Mk 6 rocket launchers arrived in Jakarta, the report emerged and was distributed around. Astros II was the newest far-range multi-launcher rocket system, a product of a weapons manufacturing company in Brazil called Avibras Industria Aeroespacial (Avibras). The TNI-AD purchased 32 packets of these rockets, consisting of trucks, launchers and missiles in a variety of sizes.
