I've read OPSSG's post way back when from the MP forum days, most of the time his post is rational and well-balanced. Although lately, I got the impression that the thought of Indonesia potentially surpassing Singapore in the region's air superiority kinda unsettled him a bit. I mean his concern and suggestion on why should pursuit the F-16V instead of Rafale is sound, but I'm not sure if it's an honest one.The singaporean guys is this OPSSG right?
One of his comment:
"5. In my unsourced opinion from reading this thread, Prabowo Subianto’s gang just needs to pocket the commissions from various arms deals (as long as it is not from the US) — to fund his next election. Buying American fighters, missiles and bombs, through FMS means there is no scope for corruption for his gang."
^^ Did he forgot that it was Prabowo thats been pushing for the F-35 and the F-15EX is on the procurement plan list.
I hope that this isn't the same singaporean guy in Lowyat who belittle Indonesia and glorifying singapore in every post he posted.
I'm inclined to agree. Speaking strictly on the Indonesian thread; it used to host a decent discussion, but I feel these days is just full of elitist and can quickly turn into echo chamberDefencet**k is full of self-loving senior posters and trigger happy moderators.

I agree a capable Indonesia is a much more sensible option for ASEAN rather than the alternatives. Those with the straight head know anyway, and I said this with as much humility as I possibly can, it's a matter of when not if Indonesia will surpass Singapore in terms of capability.The much stronger Indonesia militarily and economically actually a better alternative for ASEAN smaller member to get much ASEAN voice as a whole being heard and respected by other larger Countries surrounding us (China, USA, India and to some extent Japan). As rich as Singapore may become, the fact they are an Island Nation with only 5 million or less population still there, their potential is very limited, their depth is just so small and so with their potential strength.
why he mentioned KC-46 has better suitability compared to A330 MRTT in maintenance aspect?Just some "kajian" from staff

KC-46 basis is B-767 which is not even flying in the region.. A330 on the other hand is operated by GIA..
and also for runway interoperability.. A330 is a bigger airplane so it is clearly can only operate from longer runway.. but it is a tanker anyway.. who would put 40 tonnes of jetfuel on some random base just to top up the tanker..
I often got this feeling when reading defenc*talk.com that the forum is the place where US sales representatives used to hangout. It feels like they monitor and control the narratives there.
I'm not saying that there's no sales representatives registered here as members, but our forum is definitely more balanced (so far).

Well , a decades long of prosperity and advances compared toward the rest of plebians surrounding you tends to bring the ugliness deep down inside you ...There are some of them who think Singapore is Israel in Asean.

The presence of China in South China Sea actually had destroyed the balance of power in the region, whatever we will do is not going affect much of power balance between main actor in the region, esp China and USA. Don't forget the presence of India forces in Andaman and Nicobar had become a part of power struggle here.

Well , their forum was allready hinting the obvious . But , that's not what kill our motivation ...it's their holier than thou attitudes that really kill the last semblance of our good will toward those ( presummably !! ) Bules .
Add that with a OPM's lover/Indonesian hater admin like ngatimozart . You'll get a very wellcoming hospitality in that forum

It's part of humanity instinct after all .
Everybody has their own bias it's not a big deal . But to be always looked down regardless whatever matter is starting to grates on my nerves .... I don't even bother to register in there . Too bland for my taste afterall .
You jus couldn't never kill jealousy and insecurities . You simply just couldn't ....
So just chill up guys and drink some more . And for the love of god .... Somebody please ask our finance overlord to lowering the samsu taxes will ya'
....
how about more taxes for your everyday rice, meat and cabai?
They only goes for the premium one tho' . I'll be satisfied with my backyard's rawit .....
Part of your taxes would be used to finance those Rafale, so smoking more, eating more !!!

They have to put them both together at the same time!
And how about their weaponry?
Long range cruise missile?
by putting aircraft budget to kfx programme wkwkwkwkwkwkWith one move we can killing Dassault and Boeing at the same time
Sorry mado I don't see they offer us F35, just the "F16v is the right track to get F35 in the future" all over again.Well they should ratified some agreement first, then the talks can be moved into actual offer, the thing is as a company which one who doesn't like to get more order?
