Udah kenyang sama cerita2 kayak gini sekalipun beda lembaga beda tokoh cuma aku sih ambil hikmahnya ngehindarin dosa, seandainya yg kemaren2 jadi iya saya dapat fee besar tapi dosa juga besar
Battlefield would be everything between China and Australia or across The Pacific but i dont believe any valuable targets within Southeast Asia for DF hit target
When you have PLAN as your neighbour then it is not solely our duty to confront them, yes Natuna is a point of dispute between China and Indonesia but others have stake in international trade route solely claim by China, US, etc have stakes over SCS
Most of Parchim equipments already non functional when they served TNI-AL. I did say these OPVs to replace Parchim Class, Parchim Class all these years act more like OPVs than what originally built for
If things go as my wish, i want Babcock AH-140 to use TACTICOS and Thales subsystems just like Royal Navy ones but instead of Bofor 40mm as secondary gun, i want Millenium 35mm as for AShM Exocet mm40 Block IIIc and VLS MICA-NG should be reasonable, i want them numerous though 32 VLS at least...
Forget about Indian AShM, there's no and there will be no such lunacy if we're getting Babcock 140 design. The question already asked either Atmaca or Exocet
If we are using our sense, take Scorpene or Type 214 Class but never both, that's a perfect recipe for disaster in years to come though in my preference i'll go for Type 214 Class over the reason of our past mistakes on Nagapasa Class
If you ask me for the simplicity getting 10 submarines before 2030, take the whole 4 units of Tupi Class, take 3 Type-214 Class and then conduct the technical audits on 3 Nagapasa Class, do everything necessarily to optimise those 3 units already in our service, after all they're paid by...
Worst economic crisis ever since 1932 crisis, in fact alot of countries which economically depends heavily on international trades will face collapse if Taiwan crisis or SCS dispute develops into armed conflicts between claimants
I can't imagine global conflict at level of WW2 however in 21st century and using nuclear, the result would be equally devastating to each side, there's no winner in this scenario only survivors.
If Taiwanese crisis or South China Sea dispute turns sour and becomes the nightmare we never want, i don't believe we are going to be hit by DF but i can imagine Melbourne, Canberra and maybe Perth taking the hits.
Once we have 2 fully operational OPVs then i hope we are getting the replacement for Parchim Class and IMHO these 90m OPVs with Turkish subsystems and armaments would be economic yet a decent replacement programme
I don't believe we would be somekind of fire target from PLA Missile Strategic Force however it is in my belief by 2030 when PLAN already or in process of getting 6 Carrier Groups and technological disparity between Beijing and Taipei already too far ( J-20 & J-31 vs F-16 V and Mirage 2000 )...
Well i remember the last news about it last year, we applied for 2 Brazilian Navy Tupi Class ( Howaldtswerke Type-209/1400 Class ), no updates further. Some suggest still unapproved by Ministry of Finance.
