This R&D cost perhaps? https://www.thedrive.com/the-war-zone/39316/air-force-boss-wants-clean-sheet-fighter-thats-less-advanced-than-f-35-to-replace-f-16 Tho decission prolly going to be made in 2023 fiscal year, I am not sure if they can squeeze design/build new platform program into their...

Well I am going to take it with a grain of salt then pretend if its true. Now I am going to throw grain of salt and say "now we know the reality of our relation with US". I know its not a done deal yet but I really hope US can show more commitment and less lip service to us. I mean really...

Our position today remind me of 1960's clash between Communist vs Democracy and how we can benefit militarily from it. On the other hand it also remind me on how both forces tried to destabilize the zone by conducting intelegence operation, and this what worry me the most if somehow US or China...

Below is the discussion about the topic publish by TVOne. It has good arguments/contra arguments and we can learn a thing or two from it. Again the conclusion is up to you to decide, I highly suggest you watch all the squence to have a clear picture and to avoid any misunderstanding. Enjoy Part...

Below is the official Press release of Kemenlu. I try to give the topic highlight. Whos we meeting with: NSA (National Security Advisor) - Jack Sullivan Director of CIA (Central Intelegence Agency) - Bill Burns/William Burns NSC (National Security Council) Coordinator Indo Pacific - Curt...

I dont mean in this term, I mean after he retired. Ya gosipnya gitu. Tho I like the idea from Bp.Agum who think it might be better to have him as Panglima and make current Kasal as Wakil Panglima. This formation intended to make security approach & coordination easier with AD during next...

I like pak Andika more already, down to earth and approach the wrong doing using emphaty. He revealed whats known as "rahasia umum" issues in a good manner prolly because he knows the root of the problem. He fix things without pointing fingers and went right into the core, or at least trying to...

Me too, they are everywhere and clearly not a one person account.

If I may add abit, I am sure we all now understand why we try to bid for used Eurofighter, submarine/frigate stop gap and perhaps even why our Finance minister gave allocation for Submarine stop gap instead of submarine rescue vessels (like alman said). Other forum argue about maintenance, life...

Yes & no. This where I say they are being smart, technically its not easy to classify it as invation or some short. That fisherman militia is also part of the plan to intimidate without involving their military. CG arguably can be classify as civilian as well. Looking at those facts I hope our...

This guy.....Is he going to publish everything without at least analyzing the possibility or at the very least asking him self why?

Doing large scale Army exercise in archipelago nation is one thing, conducting large Naval exercise specially if include amphibious is another thing if we looking at diplomacy perspective. The last one can be seen as "agressive".

Nope, but I consider my self a petrolhead. I was involve in some automotive sports back then and still relatively informed with the latest development. Tho my experience was never into off road kinda sport but the people inside the community are pretty much the same.

I guess that 2.400 diesel engine might be coming from Toyota line up (fortuner/Innova). Korean diesel is 2.2 L, US diesel mostly come from 3.0L up. And they are smart if they are using Toyota engine as this type is widely use here and known for its reliability, tho I like Korean 2.2L more...

Again it depends on your perspective, I am not sure how people of Tibet, Mongol, east estonia will say about that. If the inward looking perspective also include occupying other nations, teritory, or even waterway to their own strategic interest then perhaps we can also call it a different kind...

And what makes betting on China will guarantee a "win" for our future? They do withdraw from Afghanistan and planning to reduce their strength in the middle east to focus on Asia, in Indonesia case is ASEAN. Anyone can call it loosing but also anyone can also call it strenght refocusing, it...

Well I am guessing this policy is basically aiming more toward domestic political consumption for being Democrat party. It can also be a "payback" toward certain local lobby group as their support toward the last election. It said ..."have emphasizing more toward smaller weapon such as riffles...

Yup but US need to adjust their diplomacy act as well. Giving waiver for CAATSA is a good start for example. I can understand if they threaten to give sanction for SU35 purchase, but it would a nice gesture of friendship if they let small things like Sukhoi spare parts, BMP purchase or other...

Yea, I feel the same way. Surprising example if I may say.

Agree, what they say its for public consumption but press conference are also being used to send a messege to others as well. We prolly wont know the detail of what they talking about or with whom bu Retno is talking to but I surely hope US will get the massage that the region currently need...
