I remember that some years ago there was a discussion about stealth. Some argue that the definition of "stealth" in US terminology is too narrow, basically what we call today as "5th gen". In their opinion, stealth can be achieved by means other than a low-observable airframe, namely, it can be...

Both Rafale and F-15EX have lethal EW capability, these two basically one of the best today in jamming radars.

Well, Pinoy didn't get anything even, not even F-16 yet, while Thai is still pretty grey. I think it tied up to other things to consider, sharing F-35 means "widening the front", adding more people you consider as an ally. That will be a potential diplomatic burden, but tbh if it's going to be...

Let's assume there is a chance to get F-35 after we get F-15EX

Viper???? Wait until US acc, if not then...wait again

So we are going to modernize the rest of the C-130 fleet? Does that also mean increasing their flight hours? extending their service?

Ah yes F414, thanks for the correction, I confuse the two, apparently

Rafale engine is specially made for Rafale, unlike the proposed engine for KF-21, F404, that's used in many aircraft, not just one. If we are to be serious in license-producing engines on our own, we should talk to the US for that, not to the French.

All non-military citizens are "civilians", technically speaking, even the President. We all came from diverse backgrounds, some are educated in SAINTEK, some from SOSHUM. Some work in the industries, military or civilian, some also work in the government. Some focus on the defense industry and...

Well, guys here also argue to not "put all your eggs in one basket", that's the main take. It is too risky to rely on one aircraft model, from one supplier, and sacrifice every other option for it. Even the US with their arsenal of F-35s acknowledged that one trick solution is a no, that's why...

Bad Idea.

Speedrun for it then

So basically the idea is to only get American jeroan but the body is from somewhere else. Though that still wouldn't make it a destroyer as the article said, it's basically FREMM Frigate with hamburger flavor.

Positive thinking: They are aiming for the Zumwalt instead

What is TNI AL plan to do with US FMS? honestly, getting Arleigh Burke seems highly unlikely, the cost is way too high, and aren't we trying to avoid too much US stuff? Same case with Zumwalt, Ticonderoga wet dream Also, the hull of the ship themselves aren't much of an issue, they are just...

"Supreme excellence consists of winning without fighting" Honestly, in many ways in our history, lack of experience and skill really handicapped our military effectiveness, which is of my utmost concern since I started studying this stuff. But for some reason, by combining the bare minimum...

Watching a helicopter like this makes me remember the time spent on the RE4 game. The part when you are aided by the helicopter armed with cool minigun and rocket.

Tbh I was expecting Ms. Connie to offer different (better!1!1!) options. Maybe, her idea is to get F-16V instead, as a pathway towards future F-35 deals ( I thought so before the webinar). But heck she went total banting setir into proposing the idea of getting Chinese planes, what the heck...

If Ms. Connie is a defense analyst, then I'm a frickin Sun Tzu
