JAKARTA - In war, all tools can be used as weapons. Includingvillage.

As did the soldiers from the 1st Marine Infantry Battalion, the Indonesian Navy. They were trained using traditional weapons in the form of Sumpit (Tulup) at the Gung Hones Sport Center (GMSC) Battalion 1 Marine Gedangan, Sidoarjo, East Java, Thursday 22 September.

Sumpit is a traditional weapon used by the Kalimantan Dayak Tribe to hunt animals before knowing modern weapons.

In addition, win is also a secret weapon to kill enemies in secret and silent and hidden.

Reporting from the Indonesian Navy's official website, during the exercise, the Marine Infantry Battalion 1 soldiers used fire from the ground which was disguised to paralyze the enemy with a distance of 30 meters with a target of balloons.

The Commander of the 1st Marine Infantry Battalion, Marine Lt. Col. Akhmad Kharis Mukhyiddin, told soldiers of the 1st Marine Infantry Battalion to be able to get to know and control traditional Dayak weapons such as violators, because in ancient times, win was a weapon that the invaders feared.

"This exercise using fire by Marine Infantry Battalion 1 Soldiers is also in order to follow up on the Daily Order of KSAL Admiral Yudo Margono regarding the development of superior and professional and resilient human resources in dealing with all threats," he said.
