1. Preparing IAF to get Rafale, might be this is somenkind of deal with French too.
2. 08 is Francophile.
(Wait, all this we thought he love double engines so much right? Well, turn out that might be not entirely true.)
So when we can't get 42 units Rafale target, we compensate it with 2nd hand mirage.
Then If we can't get 36 units Eagle 2 target, what's we gonna do?
Take 2nd hand Eagle C/D/E or J or S ? 🤣
That 36 Rafales batch 2 got cut to 23 and this 14 Mirage 2000 is to compensate it. O... Kay...
More info:
5 units from Qatar and 9 units from UAE.
Contract already signed, Bappenas and MoF already agree.
Nor now I'll take it as kabar burung.
what do you think?
When big red come in here,
Do our 120mm L44 armed Leopards and 105mm Harimau already enough or we still need to invest in 130mm MBT?
Do we need more Javelin or NLAW, or put more on standard RPG?
