Seems like we are aiming at anything for trial & options atm. There are some undisclossed issues regarding certain UAV, so I think they want to keep the options open for now. On the other note current geopolitical condition and the dynamic can force us to take a second look on certain purchase...

The priority is to have more MRCA but still maintain fleet diversification since we lost SU 35. The original plan was 2 SKA of viper which then changed to Rafale. The shift of the global power balance and regional security prolly the reasons why 08 decided to push on Rafale thru strategic...

Not very slim, its just more tricky. Just like how Aussie Submarine plan unfolded into nuke sub thus killing the deal with France, that show how things could go when one strong nation starting to play their "muscle diplomacy" card. Not necessarily whats going to happen to us, it just a...

They were pushed to get Superhornet due to nuke platform delivery agreemant with US. They dont get clearence to use Euro FIghter as nuke droping platform from US, obviously US pushed to her own domestic fighter product. Here are some of my view after late reading some of the posts here: With...

There are rights issue involve, tho we do have the prototype doesnt mean we can do whatever we want outside the signed agreemant. Keep in mind there is other technology involve not own by Korean. No we cant. Did PTDI have experience maintaining any jet fighter? In this area perhaps TNI AU...

No SU35, No Eagle II means more Rafalle... 😁

As I mentioned before there is no enough "payung hukum" to facilitate DTS since KFX started. Is Kemenhan going to sign it? AU? Contractor who is going to do the maintenance? etc. This issue has been a problem and to fix it govt need to make regulation/UU to facilitate and appoint the appropriate...

Russia is holding a wild card right now, they going to play it smartly and not fixing their position into certain side. They are good at this kind of game.

Despite all the news flying around regarding the Tuna Block, in reality there aint much CCG or even their Destroyer can do. In this type of game its all about "gertak sambel". Shoot first then that nation going to shoot its own foot as well. Regarding their militia fisherman, well in...

Its funny how Russia now hold important position & bargaining power considering the tentson between US & China. I was going to write something about it here but then work drifted me out.... 😫 😫

No, its partly belong to certain family that has a name with flesh n blood running thru their vein

Thats fine if you dont believe it. If you know who owns SWIFT banking system and who own US Federal Reserve Bank it will give abit of a clue. As for our local group interest, its not to be underestimate as well. This one I have been experiencing my sellf and make my jaw drop. If the local one...

Nah, biasa itu saling tikung, tar juga baik lagi 😁 . We are the one who can benefit more as this kind of event may push France further to be self reliant in all their defense product by eliminating US made components in their product. Means more reliability over political interest to our...

From the way I see it thats how they have planned to do with some minor changes to adapt current threat analysis. The fleet posture remain relatively the same, its simply replacing the old fleet with some additional number locally made small one. The IH size frigate jumped to the top list when...

Its not him per-say, but the interest groups/society behind him. There are more happening underneath the surface, and the real person/interest group that is powerful enough to shake the world usually remain unseen. Same case with our beloved nation, that powerful interest groups can even alter...

For China its not going to start at SCS, its going to start with Taiwan. For China adversary its going to start at SCS. At the currrent stage no one wants regional SEA country to be unstable (both China & US), unless one SEA country decided to go all the way to one side then the Intelegence...

If you look closely to R4duga's picture there is a sign with Indonesian flag on it. I believe its an airplane structure being build for TNI-AU. Tho it kinda slow I am just happy the contract finally been active and in progress 😁

My own personal speculation would be; depends on whether we get permission to have Eagle II or not. Our AU still maintain heavy fighter doctrine air supperiority use afaik. Those Hercules deal was made when Matis was in charge of SoD as part of bargaining chip to have caatsa waiver, Im not sure...

It includes Minst of trade and to some degree Foreign minister. Mins trade & mins finc yg gw dnger plg dpt tekanan on Thrump admin over caatsa. Not sure who said no now (if its true) as the condition are totally different since we got the GSP extension & Covid.

I feel you, specially about Komodo armament. Tho I see its getting better overall, that news about PAL Lundin visit is baby step toward professional collaboration. I like how the Head of PAL is doing so far, perhaps that knowledge and experience he gathered professionally in Japan shipyard...
