    Live Conflict Ukraine-Russia War

    Sami1234, did not state that Ukraine, but what Russia is doing to Ukraine is the same as what Israel is doing to the Palestinians. What exactly are you trying to point out? I hope you are aware as to where the name RUSsia comes from. And that it was RUS people who started to settle/comquer the...

    I would say that the Sino-US treaty, and all other international treaties incl. the UN status would disagree with that last sentence. The US issue is actually funny in a way - that they pledged to supply weapons to Taiwan for "self-defense" but adhering to the joint statement of 1 country 2...

    AFAIK Indonesia did not. - you are citing figures of an initial deal to purchase 2nd hand Leo2A4's and Marder 1A3's in 2012 after abandoning the Netherlands deal. Another figure in that deal was (Budget 2) US$ 280 million and later revised to US$ 320 million for the MBT Revolution - Rheinmetall...

    China China launches third, most advanced aircraft carrier named 'Fujian'

    hmm... Chinese designed yes but made/manufactured more like the C919, which is designed and manufactured by Comac - but relies more or less totally onto European and US sub-suppliers. Is the Fujian's power-plant/engines a local design construction?

    China China launches third, most advanced aircraft carrier named 'Fujian'

    Interesting, would you have a data description that could support the statement that the PLAN MVDC EMALS-Electromagnetic Launching System , is more advanced than the MVAC EMALS system onboard the Gerald R. Ford (CVN-78) ? Also the US Super-carriers like the CVN-78 class have a displacement of...

    Wow - "native Japanese Muslims" - now that is a very interesting topic - would never have occurred to me honestly. But that reminds me of a Japanese gentlemen i had met in the early 90'ies in Brunei. He stemmed from an influential Japanese family and was regarded very highly within the Sultan...

    IMO - definitely, certainly, undeniably there is a kickback involved. :) same goes for Indonesia's Leo's. E.g. Singapore's Leo's (highly upgraded and enhanced former BW models) cost less then $6 million a piece. (estimates for Singapore's own enhancement efforts account to around 0.5 -1,5...

    Indonesia Indonesian Army,Tentara Nasional Indonesia-Angkatan Darat (TNI-AD)

    I would assume that Indonesia is plagued by the same issues as e.g. Malaysia, Philippines and some other S.E.A. countries. There is no adequate White-Book - something that designs a strategy and would accordingly lead to the appropriate purchase of weapon systems. A White book essentially also...

    Japan IMO is also a great and interesting country. They are very picky about their language (especially being pronounced the correct way) But for a Indonesian, Malay or German it is actually very easy to pick up, since their Romanji (Kanji letters replaced with alphabet) are pronounced exactly...

    It's not my government :) - I am a German, but I enjoy my life very much in China and S.E.Asia. Beijing is interested in trade and economic/technical advance. As such having good relationship with both Ukraine and Russia they are certainly not happy about that ridiculous war. Beijing...

    More like Cruise-missiles and BVR - as for the fighter force to be considered effective and maintainable Indonesia would need at least 14-18 squadrons and not consisting of more then 2 types. Okay so a Rafale could be considered as a start in the right direction. :)

    Regarding Diplomat - funny story A German couple had checked into the same hotel as me (Lombok) and was given a very special treatment - extra drinks, super friendly service and super suite. I asked him - anything special about you? - he said no, not that I know off. After he was addressed in a...
