Stock? Turkified? Refurbished? All options have our tax money going into the overlord's pockets.

At this point, I think AWACS is crucial for Indonesia's aerial capabilities. AWACS was a key asset in the recent Indo-Pakistan skirmish. The Chinese used AWACS to help their J-10s defeat the J-20. I wonder why there hasn't been much mention for AWACS/AEW-C in Indonesia's future acquisitions.

Perhaps, but I couldn't find sources stating it specifically. Out of the 3 planned missiles (Atmaca, Hisar, and Siper), It seems Siper is the longest of the three. Perhaps if Siper needs strike length then we have your answer, but I can't find it.

In IndoDefence '2024', they said FMP will be equipped with CENK 350. No one really knew what it was, and it wasn't even in ASELSAN's marketing, hence 'Radar Ghoib'. ASELSAN did post a YouTube video only a month ago, and finally marketing the product at IDEF 2025...

I thought the rotating radar was the long-range volume search, while the shorter-range but more accurate fixed panels are used for targeting. The smaller fire control radar to my knowledge are for the twin 76mm guns. I have no clue though so if any expert is able to weigh in with their...

Afraid not. The sole hull undergoing MLU is Usman Harun. The Thales wombo combo w/ MICA. This was in July. Barely any progress or news. The post below it is from 2023. I don't think it should take this long...

Lumayan banyak gambar2 baru dan nuansa yang saya sendiri belum lihat. Tumben juga dari Aljazeera.

My concerns originally but the contract is for F4s. Not sure if its F4.1 or F4.2, but at least it's confirmed F4. I think they took it from Rafale C. ABC=123. But isn't this a two seater which would make it a Rafale B which would make it T201... Confusing.

Didn't realize this was such an issue. Indonesia still has ties to North Korea, having embassies and probably one of the more neutral to decent relations with the hermit kingdom. Yet Indonesia purchases a decent amount from the South Korean defense industry. I'm curious if this is South Korean...

Ho... Gitu toh. Ingat sih US tau2 cutoff teknologinya ke korea. Bagus lah kalau dapat. Yeah It's the easy way for people who don't want to look further. Still I believe we shouldn't have delayed payments if it wasn't because of technological access issues. kalau yg dikasih berubah, bener...

Meh. Tidak dibilang secara eksplisit Indo dpt 120 teknologi kunci. Malah dibilang 48. Terus berita lama kemungkinan saja outdated. Lbh yakin tunggu detail amendment kalau saja keluar.

Indonesia masih jadi dapet 120 teknologi junci itu setelah amendment kontrak? Pasti ada yang dikurangi setelah pengurangan bayaran. Masa bayar lbh dikit dari stengah original masih dapet semuanya?

The AH140 was supposed to be a cheap solution. Slow non-gas turbine, and cheaper CAMM Mushroom farm. Saw an article where they questioned its affordability when the admiralty announced plans to possibly fit the Mk.41 VLS system. Surprised it threatened the affordability by that much.

Yeah. It's well within their right and interest to do so. Not covering the agreed amount and going against protocol just creates strain, giving them reasons/excuses to press Indo further. I think it's obvious that SK isn't thrilled Indo failed to pay it's share back then. It's natural and...
