Financial issues plague the country's expenditures in general. Personally, I don't see how they could afford all of it, especially with the government cutting spending in general. Talks about decreasing the amount of jets procured. Trying to pay with partially with commodities. They bought...

Oalah benar too good to be true. Itu baru lebih realistis. Kirain saya yang gila. Cuman bisa nangis dan doa. Harapan hampir tiada.

Iya sih. Kalau kemauan sudah tidak ragu. Masalahnya balik ke dana. KF21 dulu pernah kurang dana sebelum ToT dan bagian dikurangin. Ini mau nambah lagi atau gimana? Masalah ekonomi Indonesia, dunia pun, apalagi potensi potongan anggaran ya wajar skeptis dikit walaupun mau. Kalau punya duit...

Wowowow... 85% besar sekali. Saking besarnya rada ragu sih kyk too good to be true. emang komponen yang dalam negri apaan ya? Baja dan besi kali. Apa PTDI siap membangun mini assembly buat bikin parts? Bagus sekali kalau benar dan bisa.

Kyknya gak deh. Buat saya itu hal yang tidak diperlukan. Soalnya banyak unsur yang mungkin bermasalah. - I can't see the benefit of having a militant authoritarian state basing its planes out of Papua, a sensitive region to US-aligned Australia which would create unnecessary tension. What...

True... It could explain why there aren't any publications of exercises with pilots using them. They ought to have trained with them to use em.

This made me dig some stuff up and found this older DOD article. It's from sept 2023. https://www.defense.gov/News/Contracts/Contract/Article/3543791/ Does it mean it's been in Indo secretly this whole time?

Yeah, It's certainly not the worst option when secondhand is on the table. I just don't agree because we've spent money on the 42 Rafales. Like you said, I don't see the urgency either, and it seems like the money is better spent elsewhere. The only thing beating the Rafales in the region is...

I remember reading an excerpt from an academic paper by TNI AU personnel describing the shortfalls of the Flankers. Also, a high-ranking officer says they've had enough. (As in "sudah cukup") in the context of being asked whether they'd like to procure more. I think the procurement work should...

A legendary quote is never let the truth interfere with a good story. Im sure everyone loves drama. Plus the earlier financial issues are just cherry on top. Sad to say it hasn't had a good effect.

Bisa mah bisa. Bedanya dia kan kepepet perang. Indo dipepet siapa? Mau bilang china, skrg china masih gitu2 aja, msh bisa kena effisiensi.

Betul jg. Mantap sih kalau bisa gonta ganti gitu. Mikirnya balik ke dibolehin ga, krn sesuai interest mereka kan kita biar beli senjata dari dia2 aja takut ga laku lah klo bisa beda. Semoga2 saja. Kocak sih klo baca headline gitu "Indonesia successfully launches an R-77M-1 from their F-15 Eagle...

Buset akses datalink. Ini saya nangkepnya utak atik systemnya kan? kalau datalinknya, dan pemakaian biasa saya pikir sudah termasuk soalnya. Buat saya memang wajar itu code2 rahasia mereka. pembeli cmn tau pake gitu. kyk customer ke restoran nanya resep masakan. Klo bisa sih bagus lah keren...

Cuman opini saya saja. Emang benar2 bagus tuh barang? Kalau saya kurang percaya aja sih. Bukan ngatain jelek cmn biasa aja. Toh ingat2 F15EX dikasih semuanya, yang ga boleh kan F35, ini compare 4+ ke 4+ aja ya. Cuman ingat EPAWSS yg di permasalahkan, dan akhirnya dapet clear kan dari dokumen...

Didn't know this was a thing. Which ships had been painted with it?
