Poland to sell arms to Indonesia

Poland prepares to modernise Indonesian Army. Indonesia announced its plans of the modernisation of its army at cost of over 3.5 billion US dollars. According to the Indonesian defence minister Juwono Sudarsono orders for arms worth as much as 2.5 billion could go to Polish arms manufacturers. Poland has been selling arms to Indonesia for several years. PZL Mielec delivered the Skytruck planes to the Indonesian police which proved useful during the rescue operation after the tsunami disaster. PZL Swidnik sold for 15 million dollars 11 helicopters. In January 2007 the Indonesian coast guard will receive 5 patrol boats manufactured in the Polish Navy Shipyard while the Indonesian Army has ordered anti-aircraft weapons from Polish Bumar. The 2.5 billion dollars will be spent in the US or Poland but, according to Indonesian defence minister, Poland's chances are growing.
