Leonardo surely making an inroads to Indonesia. They have been also working with PT. LEN to supply TNI AU's radar if I am not mistaken. Sharing what to expect on FREMM CMS system https://www.leonardocompany.com/en/news-and-stories-detail/-/detail/fremm

Niceeeee....Alhamdulillah.. :giggle: Pleasant surprise to see we put quite big order at once instead of buying "ketengan". Wonder how much is the contract value, considering Egypt contract for 2 FREMM is valued at Euro 1.2 bio. I guess our contract could be worth around Euro 3.6 bio +...

Hearing Macron plan to visit Indonesia in July....so maybe signing will happen then after all....?? :giggle:

What I can gathered, even in US this is still largely an idea/concept, i.e. recruiting commercial pilots to become combat pilots. Fighter jets especially which I guess would require different physical and mental ability requirements. Imagine fighter jets pilot need to be able to do high G...

Curious how Mindef and all Matra TNI plan to professionally manned the "new equipments"...? The below last year article mentioned that MoD plans to train 300 combat pilot and 100 hercules pilot over the next 2 years. I am not sure whether this target is even achievable or more of a wishful...

If this plan could be realized, then this is good news for our military. However I am finding it difficult to understand this budget plan/proposal. - Am I correct to assume that the USD 125 bio Renbut (pasal 3 ayat 1) is to cover kebutuhan for 5 tahun Renstra of 2020 - 2044..? If it is then is...

https://www.straitstimes.com/asia/se-asia/strong-underwater-wave-may-have-caused-indonesian-submarine-to-sink-navy-says Senior officials from TNI AL saying that strong underwater wave caused Nanggala to sink. If this is true, then all the speculations about poor condition of the submarine...

Commentary piece, which I found quite good, showing the need to establish proper support system for any submarine force regardless of the existence of international cooperation framework for submarine rescue...

I really hope that this event, unfortunate as they may be, will expedite TNII AL plan to purchase submarine rescue capable vessel. Considering we are planning to buy more submarines in the future. If I recall, there is a plan and approved budget already to buy 2 hydrographic and submarine...

Inna lillahi wa ina ilaihi rojiun......very sad day for TNI AL and for Indonesia....😔🙏.

Thanks....

With all the assets at sea doing the search for Nanggala, curious how TNI AL is coordinating all of this...? Which ships and planes doing what and which area. Is there anyone who can share the info..? Is it public info...?

In this age of digital media, reporters are pushed to provide "breaking story" , up to minute story.....which a lot of times at the expense of correct facts. The mindset it breaking news....and to update later with new facts or correction. Speed is the name of the game. This in combination that...

In my experience, the best way to handle Indonesia media is to use written statements/press releases to reduce possibility of mis-quote and misunderstanding. But even then there is always that possibility for the reasons as you mentioned...:( I really pray and hope that we still have time and...

Just sharing an article on KF-21 I found from The Drive.....(always find them as a good source for layman like me..:)) https://www.thedrive.com/the-war-zone/40113/meet-south-koreas-new-kf-21-hawk-indigenous-fighter

I think it is fair to have concern about obtaining key technology from this collaboration. TBH I don't think we should rely only on this project in trying to master stealth/fighter aircraft technology and its support system ..... as I don't think any country would want to share their technology...

Indeed....with the President delivering speech and Senior Minister there, strong indication we are back in the game. Now just have to find the money....:giggle:

Alhamdulillah indeed. Hopefully this is a good sign that we are still in the program.

Thank you...hope to learn and contribute
