Dia mengakui Indonesia menjajaki peluang kerjasama intelijen dengan Rusia karena selama ini Indonesia lebih banyak menjalin kerjasama dengan negara-negara Barat, khususnya Amerika Serikat.
Menurutnya, kerjasama intelijen dengan Rusia akan memberi banyak manfaat bagi Indonesia. Bentuk kerjasama masih dibahas khususnya pada pertukaran informasi, pelatihan SDM, dan teknologi intelijen.
Sementara itu, terkait kerja sama alat utama sistem senjata (alutsista), Indonesia-Rusia telah menjajaki kemungkinan pembelian senjata dengan usulan dari TNI.
"Selain itu, kerja sama alutsista bersama Rusia juga harus mengutamakan transfer teknologi bagi industri alutsista dalam negeri," kata Luhut.
