But aerial refueling can make it "mondar mandir" longer instead of going back to airfield and wasting time.Lack of feature yes, but unless we want''t to conduct expeditionary operation, aerial refuelling for it is non issue forcondition.
) but I haven't heard anything more about it ever since. We do need this kind of planes if we truly want to develop our remote outer islands as our defence outposts.
its better to change shift with new aircraft than make a single jet do "mondar mandir".
One CL-415EAF & six CL-515 actually, due 2024.

Then we need to buy significant number of them. Not just two.
Ahh, okay. Thanks for the info.
Eh? For real? Well I say if we have finalized the deal for 2 sqa of F15EX then by all means sell those Russians. 36 Rafale and existing platforms upgrade can hold the numbers upa for a bit while we strive for getting total of 2 sqa of F15EX. And if that 6 Eagle EX really arriving this year its even better.
I'm sorry, can you fix your writing?
In essence ...what mado trying to say . Their side basically either dismiss our concern about their belligerent standing in SCS alltogether and put a tough attitude or simply voice some serious taunting or patronizing question about our " Neutral " standing and in return prompt our own tougher standing too to as a silent reply and warning sign .
Well, some says that it's not a matter of "if" but "when" - and I tend to agree with them.
Is defenceview can be trusted? He said PKR 10514 can't accommodate Dauphin in its hangar which does not make sense considering Dauphin is a light helo,
The US-2 is the most expensive flying boatThis reminds me about Indonesia's interest to buy amphibious planes a couple of years ago. What happened to it?
I vaguely recall that either the Beriev Be-200 or Bombardier CL-415 was chosen instead of Japan's US-2 (which was actually my "gacoan" - not that anyone asking about it, though
EXACTLY
Operating a complex platform such as AEW&C doesn't mean we only buy the plane along with all the necessary spare parts, tools, and infrastructure. But also training the crew, both ground crew & flight crew. And all those require not only a lot of
but also time. Which is why it is best to procure in small number for overall familiarization and to get further understanding & know-how of what work and what doesn't.
I'm guessing we have at most 2 - 3 years before opening of hostility. Which is why I'm extremely concern with our gov't move with all those cashless payment and in some cases forcing it. In the event of hostility, our extremely vulnerable infrastructure will be hit first, which mean power distribution and financial sector. This is also the main reason why
has begun hardening their utility infrastructure and maintain vigilant of the cyber domain (Multi Domain Warfare)
If only things were that simple in littoral underwater warfare. Unfortunately it's not only far more complex, but also far more unpredictable compare to blue water operation.
Which is why I neither follow let alone subscribing to her channel. Her opinion is as weird as that AH guy tweet
Oh yes! That is one of main reasons why I - literally - fall in love with that aircraft. It's also still capable to land and take off in rough sea condition (up to 3 m wave height) whereas the Beriev can only deal with 1,2 m wave.Notice how slow it can fly. Very impressive plane indeed
Well, we have the same concern then. It seems that everybody and their pets here are now making their own cashless payment. The "latah" culture here is still alive and widespread, apparently.I'm guessing we have at most 2 - 3 years before opening of hostility.
