one of the way Lockheed can sway mindef into buying F16 is if they offer extensive local manufacturing for F-16 like south korea/turkey (or india F21 bid). even though the chance are slim. also buying F-16 got added bonus that we can spam the hell out of them (if we buy them in large number)

i am never a fan of introduceing a new class of ship with similar capability that we already operated in martadinata (even though it still a rumor for now). but hey i'm not the decision maker here, let's see where this is going. if we invest more money to modify the ship, yes. an enlarge...

there's a old concept for Royal Canadian Navy bid, that they would place additional VLS on the front, where the second 76mm gun currently are. but i reckon it only good for additional 16 more VLS.

are the navy (or mindef) really aiming for gowind class? we already operated similar capability ship in martadinata-class, do we really need to introduce a new class of ship? i don't like the idea of introducing a new ship class into the navy when we already operated a class of ship similar...

one of the fastest way to "train" new pilot is recruiting from already qualified civilian pilot, there's a lot of them are out of job because of pandemic. while it still take time to re-train/re-qualify them from civilian pilot into fast jet pilot (or transport pilot) but because they already...

teh obeng in my city its called.

so how is south Africa involvement is going to help TKMS bid? any special technology offering by them? or south africa selling their subs? i hear they didn't had any money to maintain those. better name it U217 (17 for independence day) 😄

it's depend on what missile the navy wanted. if we choose sylver, there's not much choice in weapon that it can launch from it's either mica, aster and scalp (possibly camm-er for the Italian navy in the future). while us mk41 would give us more choice of weapon that it can launch.

British and italian got involvement in developing aster missile (until the british left in early 2000), that's why they can use aster on their own platform. depend on what Thales system used. Thales Netherland (signaal) and Thales French are technically two separate entity, a company inside...

there's so many different camo pattern not only on whole armed forces but in the service it self. heck in the navy (include marines) there's about 5 or so camo. - standard TNI DPM - navy warship pattern (there's two variant of them) - submarine camo - marines macan tutul - navy divers...

wait wth is this? SU-35?, F-18? with rafale/F15 combo. also gowind? how much tot the french willing to give compared to damen and we already operate PKR, why not order more of those. i am happy we got a spending boost but it going create more problem in the long run if we going to operate such...

DPM would be effective if it were a bit faded, the color were not too bright compared to the new one. it also help that they currently wearing a green or tan gear instead the standard issued black one.

the real gado-gado :ROFLMAO:

OOT; I Hope So, KCJB is china premiere project, it one of their first export of high speed rail technology (construction, train, technology). it wouldn't do good to china image (to their export product) if it fail especially if they wanted to compete with japan/europe to build high speed rail in...

CMIIW here the cockerill 105mm gun from what i see and found on the web, when the round in the turret are empty they must reload from the outside. from pindad and cockerill website that it can store about 12 round on the turret and 26 round on the hull.

i do hope in the future all 3 service would standardize their utility truck, using something like MAN HX or TATRA Truck who can be up armored easily if needed. other (cheaper?) option maybe using modified commercial truck as basis for our utility truck, i.e. using Hino500 family with modified...

SPEAR 3, GBU-53/B stormbraker and AGM-154 JSOW got 100km range (JSOW high altitude drop can get around 100km+) . . well if we wanted to operate that it going to be expensive, SPEAR 3 not in service yet and stormbreaker not integrated in F-16 yet, it leave to JSOW but it going to be nightmare to...

sig 516 and hk416 had roughly the same price and capability seeing that SIG 516 is an evolution of HK 416. edit: i just realize that the air force preference on SIG weapon system seeing from their recent purchases. . . . . talking about 416 evolution, there's a news recently that caracal and...
