looks like Hisar A.

Is this for Army our Air Force?
how is it compare to Nassams?
Here's my guess: If it's on a mobile, self-propelled platform, then it's for the army - in addition to the 15 km maximum range of the HiSAR-A missile.
 

this is crunch

I thought they were aiming for aksungur?
Seems like we are aiming at anything for trial & options atm. There are some undisclossed issues regarding certain UAV, so I think they want to keep the options open for now.

On the other note current geopolitical condition and the dynamic can force us to take a second look on certain purchase planning. I do hope that our current gov. have good geopolitical road map to support our own national interest only and not just certain country nor certain group of people.

dont know about the heron, but aksungur and akinci does have combatant loadout capability.

akinci can carry AShM as plus while aksungur (based on quick google search) most of it's loadout that can deal much damage are glider bomb.

and glider bomb can still done a sh*t ton of damage to a warship learning from the gulf war, how most of the iraqi surface vessel get destroyed by guided bomb.

Each "Matra" has their own spec and aim, atm from my own perspective our Navy hasnt decide which one is good for them. UAV launched from a ship is a new thing for us, not to mention interoperability within Navy systems itself if they think about using it for OTH target. For now UAV for the navy still focus on a patrol surveilance mission as far as I can see.

Better pay your share, Indonesia.

My best bet, some Indonesian officer is taking part to promote KF21 Boramae, the news came not far from previous visit of Prabowo to middle east

And for notes Indonesia Rafale deal is not far too from UAE deals as preliminary contract being done in November...

Lets hope UAE will buy KF-21.
the more the merrier, and can bring positive effect for indonesia IF-21 procurement in the future too (Economies of Scale) thus lowering down the unit cost.

Hi all, a newbie here..
Anyone can help me about list of national private or state-owned company that supplies spare parts / equipment for AU? Been trying to contact PINHANTANAS but no luck, and have seen ditjenpothan e-magz but the majority of the companies are not updated.

Cheers!
