That's just an opinion piece from "purnawirawan perwira tinggi TNI AU" not from someone in Kemenhan or anyone directly involved in the deal for that matter. And as what @Umigami was saying and myself been saying in the old forum, Airspace Review is biased.

I only remember the requirement for MUH on that slide, must've missed the AH bit. Indeed. It's a matter of priority unless we are flushed with cash, more ASW and MUH should take front rows imo. Hell, let's talk replacing those old BTR-50 first, then we talk about dedicated attack helo. There's...

I mean it's hardly surprising, especially the army guys. At least the marines got exposure from numerous joint exercises with USMC, whether that be CARAT or RIMPAC. The only unit that I ever see rocking the dump pouch is KOPASKA, but presumably, that was also because it was under the leadership...

Urghh this doesn't sit too well with me. I'd prefer the Navy/KorMar get something along the line of UH-1 Venom or navalised version of Blackhawk DAP rather than full-pledge attack helo

I agree. My realistic hope is that at least all personnel from KOSTRAD and above are at least given access to these kinds of stuff.

Yeah, I'm sure, especially after the AAR from the recent JOINTEX with the U.S. army highlighted plenty of the shortcomings with our individual equipment. In fact, I saw in one of the video clips during the domestic portion of the exercise, one of the high brass inquiring about the dump pouch of...

We barely have enough funds to properly distribute the digital NKRI camo, I doubt we're going to shift into new camo anytime soon. Although I'd love to see more widespread use of SAMAR.

Well, we've tried to build our domestic (war)shipbuilding with SIGMA program, twice even with both the corvette program and the PKR, and the outcome was abysmal due to multiple factors. When it comes to naval systems it can be better mitigated though, as it actually allows some degree of...

LOL better question is would we be willing to fork out more money to pay for the integration of EU made weapon and sub-system

From what I gather, the option for AIP is available, it just that Brazil choose not to equip their boats with it. Perhaps Naval Group put forward the Riachuelo due to similarity in climates between us and Brazil? Hopefully, they already address whatever it was that plaguing the RMN boats.

IF we go ahead acquired the Rafale by bulk (48 units of them) any chance to include an update on the weapon storage system to integrate it with the U.S made missiles? I know it's going to be an added cost, but it seems worth it for the long term. Any talk of an upgrade for EF if it goes...

ikr? Would look much better if it at least comes in OD colour or even in Tan colour as you say. You can see in the latest Kartika Yudha video how much of the black coloured webbing (not the vest) actually stand out so much.

Here's the video from Instagram (web). But do join the group if you have a FB, it's actually not too bad, aside from one Filipino guy that likes to spam the Indonesian post with "Planning only".

It sure sounds like the Osa. But whatever it is going to be I'm just glad the Korpaskhas finally have an anti-armor capability at the squad level.

I won't be surprised if it's actually the solutions offered by the French WG.
