Tbh we need to strengthen the steel industry The steel industry is the industry of everything, one cannot expect a country to succeed in building its industrial base if the steel industry is not strong. South Korea literally used this industry to speedrun their economic and industrial...

This concept might work https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sea_Control_Ship Or just go on with the LHD plan, probably can work with the same effect. Though getting ToT on flat deck ship tech from the US might be a bit difficult tbh.

Not egg trays, but funny looking composite armor

No civilian agencies are brave enough to try to root out corruption in the Military. Whatever the Military does, only the Military themselves can solve.

Holy sh*t Ukraine v Russia conflict is scarily similar to Peloponnesian War, fricking 2400 years ago! I guess war never changed after all.

Sama seperti naskah deklarasi perang Putin: itu cuma tulisan template. Asal bunyi aja, gak peduli isinya gak masuk akal atau gimana. Bayangkan speechwriternya si Putin ini, bisa-bisanya nulis plot bilang perang ini alasannya untuk "de-nazifikasi". Mana ada rezim Nazi Presiden-nya Yahudi, gimana...

They only have 12 of them, and are probably not combat ready.

Well, it appears that someone misrepresents my point. I literally advocated for massive reforms, modernization, and budget increase. Also the point regarding that I " said Indonesian can have a chance in full-blown conflict against China today" is a pure lie, I never said "full-blown", and...

Well, there is still some country and groups that disputed our sovereignty over Papua. Of course, the same person who accuses us of "genocide" in Papua. Diplomacy and military affairs are filled with ridiculous claims and justification, it can be like Ukraine with Crimea, a sovereign country...

Well apparently most lecturers in Indonesia are also pro-Russia, so the Hikma guy case is not an isolated example. I can somewhat explain the reason behind such attitude: 1. Russia is generally more popular among Indonesians, so there is a tendency to support Russia, 2. Russian Invasion reminds...

- Clausewitz, On War The reason I always disagree with the exagerrated fearmongering of an imagined Chinese invasion Key points to consider from this military classic (specifically regarding Intelligence): - "....the effect of fear is to multiply lies and inaccuracies." - " As a rule most...

Well, certainly we rather get the F-35s are our 5th gen, perhaps to replace the F-16.

IS there any implication for TNI AU from this visit? ANything to do with F-15?

General Benjamin Moerdani then was asked by his colleagues, "Why don't you convert to Islam so we can support you to become President?". Moerdani replied to them "Leaving my faith for Jabatan? Never!". I think it's insulting to suggest that faith in God, is cheaper than Saudi investment.

Whoops, he implied that Taiwan is a country

You could say that they are doing a "special military operation" in "Taiwan province" and are "fighting separatists" there. "Taiwan is not a country" is PRC rhetorics of their de jure claim. But certainly, de facto control is in the hands of ROC. They are currently trying diplomatically to sway...

Taiwan invasion definitely. They have a strong incentive for that because uniting China has always been CCP's (and historical dynasties) main priority since the founding of PRC. While nine-dash line claim is merely a geopolitical interest for expanding their power. What we can be sure of is...

It goes both ways, there is no guarantee that there will be or there will not be war. But let's not say "current" Indonesian capability, we have ordered these weapons you know, planes and ships, so let's build our assumption with that consideration in mind. I mean what Ukraine has, we also...

On the contrary, my idea is to abandon small unit doctrine, delegate these anti-KKB roles to the police, and change operational doctrine to larger units, maybe Division and Corps level, to counter the possible threat of conventional peer-to-peer war. To give an impression of this, personally, my...

You know, some weeks ago people accuse me of being pro-China because I try to present the possibility of diplomatically avoiding war and that war with China is not 100% certainty, merely a "possibility". But see today, when I present the possibility of Indonesia winning against a possible...
