If president choose from Navy, there will be 2 years of service before retirement, but if president choose from Army, only 1 years of service remaining. Unless, there is also change in military retirement age from 58 years to 60 years. This is another rumor following the appointment of Gen...
That was 10 years ago, IDEX 2011 Abu Dhabi
Leo still like a wet dream for TNI-AD at that time...only some "kasak-kusuk" of its acquisition had been heard
Talk about "cocoklogi" with Lingua Franca:
The Air Marshall Hadi Tjahjanto whom will soon be retired next month is quite fluent in Lingua Franca ( remember his conversation with Enzo Zenz Allie during "Pantuhir" session couple of years ago)

SK has gone thousand miles of journey since 4 decades ago for them to get where they at as the fighter jet maker...
