Old post but what i've heard TKMS offered Indonesia to conduct technical audit on existing 3 DSME 1400 Class aside from offering...
MICA is a huge improvement of air defence to our Navy, for the first time we are introduced to air defence VLS via REM Class and later Bung Tomo Class but the range and quantity which bothers me
It's too far ahead if we want to reach parity with RAAF or RSAF however they are fine model for TNI-AU on shaping decent Air Force should be, it's not that i oppose Rafale and F-15 procurement but those two come at my surprise since all these years we're expceting F-16V.
As part of a foreign military sales case executed by the U.S. Army Security Assistance Command, Indonesia was granted several Reduced Crashworthy External Fuel System (RCEFS) via the DoD-appropriated Building Partner Capacity (BPC) program.
The RCEFS are fuel tanks designed to extend the fuel...
If things turned shit backthen over East Timor crisis, RAAF planned to bomb Jakarta, possibly to target vital objects in Capital & Java thus paralyse the chain of command. Indonesia needs to do its howework to establish a credible defence posture especially in Air and Naval sectors
We are far still from target goal of MEF moreover we want optimum result for our modernisation, too many holes within ourself to be called a proper defence
Back in 2008 they even wrote about Eurofighter and given PT DI long established partnership with Airbus, we might take it. Then come in 2016 when they brought the model with CFT and in 2020 we made LoI ( Letter of Interets ) on Austrian Eurofighter but in the end we don't go for it
Well if you follow the original plan as former Chief of Air Staff ACM Yuyu Sutisna as planned in 2019, what you are saying should be the goal but in the end it's not only what the service wants but also politicians above too.
Sebenernya kita bisa beridealisme ketika kita ada di sudut pandang ke III tapi lain kalau kita jadi aktor dan di depan mata kita ada sekian puluh, ratus M sampai T yg kita juga dapat bagian dari itu, saya kebetulan ada di posisi kita. Dari kisah2 aneh orang2 yg tinggi diatas sampai paling...
Upgrade packages for F-16s covers not only those from Peace Bima Sena II, 10 F-16 MLU will undergo more or less further upgrades enhancing their capabilities.
Some of colleagues, they aren't decision makers yet their opinions shape what decision makers should decide advocate for design purchase from Damen, for Kornas Programme, reviving Kornas programme itself currently is still remain talks
Old plan that never comes to materialisation, inserting...
The only satisfaction i get, they have no plan to modernise Ahmad Yani Class so it means they indeed plan to retire them. Idk what we are going to do on Parchim Class beyond prolonging operational status for them let's say 10 years. They're cramped small vessels with limited purpose given their...
Damen Schelde latest marketed SIGMA 9113 model ( which i posted previously ) offers adding modules, one seen with 8 VL MICA though i don't see any model with RIM-116 however given the flexibility of SIGMA designs just like the one in Mexican Navy POLA programme, it might possible to customers...
These things not only already obsolete but also offer no flexibility, during their service in our inventory mostly they serve as patrol units not primarily as ASW units as they were in Volksmarine but then it is no a simple job to replace 14 hulls.
I understand with Damen Corvettes ( Diponegoro Class ) as i've posted previously Damen Schelde upgrade packages on SIGMA 9113 to include 8 VL MICA and other subsystems modernisation, i understand the package from Thales on BAe System Corvettes ( Bung Tomo Class ), but i don't understand with the...
