Kemandirian Energi, Kebutuhan TNI Untuk Menghadapi Ancaman Perang Masa Kini

Sudah 72 tahun usia TNI akan tetapi tampaknya TNI/Kemhan masih terlambat untuk menyesuaikan diri terhadap perkembangan global khususnya dalam bidang Geopolitik dan pertahanan. Jargon Poros Maritim yang didengungkan oleh Presiden Jokowi di bidang pertahanan rupanya harus menghadapi tembok yang tebal. Padahal sudah berulang kali Panglima TNI Gatot Nurmantyo bahwa potensi konflik masa datang akan terjadi di sekitar Laut Natuna yang banyak mengandung Sumber daya alam (Hayati maupun Migas), selain itu posisi strategis yang dikelilingi oleh Negara FPDA juga harus menjadi perhatian tersendiri oleh para pengambil keputusan. Hal ini berbanding terbalik dengan pernyataan Menhan Ryamizard Ryacudu bahwa LGBT dan Teroris merupakan ancaman Negara.

Dari potensi ancaman diatas mampukah komponen pertahanan negara menghadapinya? Sebuah pertanyaan yang retoris, akan tetapi fakta di lapangan menunjukan bahwa TNI memang belum siap untuk menghadapi perang moderen yang mengharuskan komponen pertahanan bergerak ke titik konflik dalam 1x 24 Jam. Salah satu yang disorot adalah kemampuan pemerintah untuk menyediakan sumber daya Minyak (BBM) untuk menggerakan mesin-mesin perang ke seluruh penjuru negeri. Mantan Wakil Menteri Energi Sumber Daya Mineral Susilo Siswoutomo pada 2013 sempat berkata, jika Indonesia menghadapi perang, negara kepulauan ini hanya bisa bertahan tiga hari.  

"TNI enggak punya ketahanan energi. Pesawat ada, kapal ada, tapi (tangkinya) tidak bisa diisi dengan air," ujarnya. Suatu fakta yang membuat kecut siapapun yang mendengarnya, lebih lanjut Susilo mengatakan Indonesia tidak punya cadangan strategis BBM yang disimpan secara khusus jika terjadi hal darurat seperti bencana alam atau perang. "Cadangan BBM kita nol! Bandingkan dengan Malaysia yang punya 30 hari, Jepang dan Korea 50 hari, Singapura 50 hari," Suatu pertanyaan yang menggelitik oleh penulis jika BBM sudah habis sedangkan Alutsista katakanlah masih utuh selama 3 hari tersebut apakah TNI akan melakukan perang gerilya seperti dahulu?

Sebagai gambaran Nazi Jerman pada waktu memulai kampanye Operasi Barbarossa ke Russia pada tahun 1941 mempunyai cadangan Minyak sebesar 31 Juta barrel pertahun, kemudian pada akhir tahun 1943 cadangan minyak jerman sudah menyusut jauh hanya kira-kira 500.000 barel! suatu petualangan yang mahal harganya buat Nazi Jerman karena pada akhirnya Jerman kalah telak di Russia karena logistik untuk pasukan ke garis depan terhambat. Kampanye di Russia sangat menyedot Cadangan Minyak Jerman karena kondisi geografis Rusia yang didominasi tanah lapang sangat cocok untuk bagi divisi Panzer Jerman bertarung disana dalam operasi itu melibatkan 153 Divisi (19 Divisi Tank dan 15 Divisi Infantri Bemotor) sungguh suatu jumlah yang kolosal, Dicuplik dari laman sunray22b.net bahwa setiap divisi Tank jerman membutuhkan 30 barrel BBM untuk setiap mil nya!

Dengan pengalaman Jerman diatas bisakah Indonesia mengatasi ketersedian BBM apabila terjadi perang? Jawabnya untuk saat ini tidak. Pada Januari 2017 Mantan Wakil Direktur Utama Pertamina Ahmad Bambang kepada Antara mengakui kesusahan pihaknya menyuplai cadangan strategis. "Kami butuh tambahan sekitar 4 miliar dolar AS untuk infrastrukturnya agar cadangan minyak strategis bisa sampai 30 hari," katanya. Bahkan untuk operasional sehari-haripun pemerintah/TNI masih menanggung utang kepada Pertamina sebesar Rp 34 Trilliun, Karena kesulitan inilah operasi patroli Angkatan Laut menjaga perairan Indonesia acapkali terhambat.

Data dari Pusat Penerangan AL menyebut, satu unit kapal perang kelas fregat dengan panjang sekitar 100 meter butuh bahan bakar solar senilai Rp900 juta untuk biaya patroli sehari penuh. Biaya ini bakal membengkak bila wilayah patrolinya luas. Utang kepada Pertamina membikin patroli dibatasi. Wajar belaka jika TNI AL hanya diberi jatah 13 persen dari apa yang mereka minta. Jadi, sehari hanya bisa mengoperasikan 7-15 kapal, padahal posisi kapal berpatroli bisa 60-70 kapal.

Dari fakta-fakta diatas kiranya kita harus sadar diri bahwa sebelum meneriakkan perang dengan negara lain baiknya kita berkaca baik-baik didepan cermin apa modal kita sehingga berani menyatakan perang? apalagi operasi militer jaman sekarang mengandalkan kecepatan untuk mobilisasinya, Operasi militer juga bukan hanya berbicara tentang keberanian tetapi juga tentang bagaimana manajemen Logistik (BBM,Air bersih dan Amunisi) mulai dari persiapan hingga bagaimana cara membawa logistik dari garis belakang hingga garis depan dengan aman mengambil Quote dari Diplomat Prancis Henri Berenger “He who owns the oil will own the world, for he will rule the sea by means of the heavy oils, the air by means of the ultra- refined oils, and the land by means of gasoline and the illuminating oils.” dari sini terlihat pentingnya sebuah pasokan logistik BBM pada setiap operasi militer.

5 Consequences of Driving without Car Insurance Do you own a car? Great! Does your car also have a valid motor insurance cover on it? Owning a car, while earlier classified as being a luxury, has now moved down to being a comfort. In fact, in metros, a car has almost become a necessity due to long-distance commutes. More and more of us are, therefore, buying a car. But are we also buying the mandatory car insurance policy? Every car which is to ply on Indian roads should have a valid car insurance cover, states the Motor Vehicles Act, 1988. When you buy a new car, the choice of buying an insurance policy is, thankfully, taken out of your hands. The on-road price of the car is inclusive of the insurance premium for your car insurance policy. The problems arise when the policy expires after a year. Car insurance plans are usually issued for one year after which they should be renewed. If you do not renew it, you are driving a car without car insurance. If numbers are any indication, a study by New India Assurance revealed that about 70% of vehicles on Indian roads are without insurance. Is your car one among them? If yes, beware. Here are 5 consequences if you drive your car without having a valid Car Insurance policy: Be prepared to pay heavy fines Earlier, the Motor Vehicles Act, 1988 governed the road safety and traffic rules. Recently, the Government passed the Road Transport and Safety Bill 2014 to replace the Motor Vehicles Act, 1988. Among other changes, the Bill penalizes you heavily if you are caught driving without having a valid insurance cover. As per the amendments, you would have to part with a whopping Rs.25, 000 for a light motor vehicles or Rs.75, 000 for other motor vehicles as a fine for driving without insurance. A huge fine, isn’t it? Pay losses for damages caused to third party or property In an accident, if you unintentionally harm any person or surrounding property, you are liable to pay the loss incurred. This is called third party liability. Your car insurance mandatorily covers this third party liability and spares you the loss incurred. In the absence of a valid insurance cover, you would have to bear the losses incurred. If the person dies, your liability would be very high. Read more Is third party car worth buying? Pay losses for own damage While you have to compulsorily pay losses caused to a third party, what about your losses. In an accident even your vehicle suffers damage. The costs of repairs for such damage are borne by your comprehensive car insurance policy. Without insurance, the onus of paying for the repairs is on you. With the high cost associated with the repairs of your car, a financial strain is inevitable. Read more about All you need to know about car insurance Face legal complications Besides the financial loss suffered in an accident which causes damage to a third party and/or self, you would also be entangled in legal complications if your car is found without a valid insurance cover. You would be penalized, get a challan and might even be imprisoned. Loss of No Claim Bonus If your car insurance expires and you do not renew it, besides the penalties and fines, you also lose the No Claim Bonus which you accumulated in your existing policy. Car insurance plans allow a discount in subsequent year’s premiums if there is no claim in any current year. This discount increases every year and saves your premium outgo. If you let your car insurance policy lapse, you lose the accumulated NCB and end up paying a higher premium when the policy is consequently renewed. A car insurance policy is legally mandatory and not having one results in serious consequences (as mentioned above). While a third party liability cover is mandatory, a comprehensive policy is better. The former pays only for the damages caused to any third party but the latter also covers damages incurred by you and your car. The premium for a comprehensive policy is slightly higher because of higher coverage. For instance, the premium payable for a Maruti Ritz car registered in 2012 having a capacity of 1197cc would have a third party premium of Rs.2237 and a comprehensive premium of Rs.4200 (approximately). With a slight increase in the premium you can avail a higher coverage option which covers for your damages too. Since car repairs are expensive, a comprehensive policy makes more sense even if the premiums are a little high. So do not fall a victim to these consequences and buy an insurance policy for your car today.
