    Indonesia Indonesian Air Force, Tentara Nasional Indonesia-Angkatan Udara (TNI-AU)

    All i could say is F 15 EX was the next best thing in 4+ Gen fighter before F 35 & F 22 . Even Rafale F4 was below them in overal capabilities in my book . I might bit biased in this but the russan version of SU 57 were in 5 G league while i'm not educated enough to make a comment on Chinese...

    There is a difference allright and i never had a doubt about prabowo . Liked or not the man has the " Cojone " for backing his words to a T . but we are simply too low in the rung ladder here . No new information as yet so just stay to the basic for a safe precaution .

    I wish i could be as optimistic as you do here . But , i simply couldn't . While we are still have some leeway for a finance we are start to strapping for a cash fast . How much do you think our gov has spent for the vaccines allready ?? If it was a normal time then i would agree with you in...

    My hope is we could licensed the said weapon to produced in house . Manpads and AT weapon was an essential item in our Total defense doctrines . It's not perfect but it was a start nonetheless

    To be honest without a decent air defense coverage and robust C4R all of our hot high end stuffs were put in the very delicate and worrying position . And so yes i think before we make a concrete step to remedy our core problem any new high end item acquisition were redundant . No body was eager...

    Yup , another classic indonesian baiting tactic . Just pit the vendor among themselves and the real pricing deal soon would be revealed and then get the contract ready to be processed Remember ... Taman suropati only allocated $ 1,6 for these and i haven't heard another added number as yet

    Well , i might did biased in this but you do have too agree to an extent that the russian are excerbated the problem for their reluctance providing the neccesary tech/knowledge on their engine maintenance system in house .

    Nope , i'm not going delve in that labyrinth of possibilities . Seeing is believing . I'm not interested in discussing what could have and ifs .

    Rather than commenting on high end stuff i was rather more pleased to hear on our supposedly added firepower for the grunts . Stingers and 120 mm mortar for the company level support and recoilles for the platoon level . That is an awesome added fire power capabilities ...

    After all those bruahaa with the hips liked or not we are not compatible with the eastern product after all . Not to mention lack of maintenance center and russia unwilingness in providing them in the country ( just to maximize their own profits ! ) In the end we are geared and more prepared in...
