Both parties has see ASEAN or Malay - Indonesia teritory as the place when the battle will be commence.
While Indonesia struggling to secure their northern EEZ from China, AUKUS will be busy exploiting possible act to counter China via Indonesian teritory.
Hence, what AUKUS member can do now...
This is why Indonesia is against AUKUS SSN project.
Facing the dragon at frontline already make cancer, giving Puppet country SSN and big toys only make Indonesia possition getting worst.
From AUKUS pact, we can see if Indonesia will be act as Buffer zone and place to commence the battle.
US$ 150 million dollar has been approved to pay the ship via foreign loan. This ship expected to act as Submarine rescue vessel beside her main job as hydrooceanograph.
Well, if somebody insisted the submarine rescue vessel will be derived from US$ 600 million for secondhand submarine...
None can defeat them, unless Almighty God himself.
Also, wearing high sleeve boots in wet jugle environtment add the user following efrect,
+ 30% traction, + 50% protection from bush and insects, - 20% mobility.
I just think ballistic vest and helmet is mandatory for every ops.
Labelinh NextG. Is it any significant upgrade compared to CN 235 - 220 ?
Also this one equipped with belly dome and bubble windows, persumably a MPA version, but for who?
Nope, somehow i just want to know how desperately is Indonesian navy to get SSN ?
(Again in the middle of push and pull between France and Australia)
US$ 600 million for second subs ? Well litterally you just can take home brand new Li-po soryu with that money. 2 type 214 still can be bought...
Perhaps we should guarantee our civilian savety before pointing a gun to any other country.
Indonesian by design rival ( Malaysia) had been collapse long time ago. Now we were facing a bigger picture with mature and strong background. Thus make Indonesia still less aware to speed up defence...
Mean nothing to personally attack one of you guys here.
About that 30FFM Masseur Guy talked, If my brain serve me correctly. The order or deal is to build 4 30FFM overseas. Then the next deal can be done include "K4ry@ 4naK b4nG5a" sticker.
And who will sell N sub for barely US$ 600 million...
In case you've missed it.
Really, reallocating money for submarime rescue vessel. That contract should be a different case.
I dont know why folks here still eager to keep Masseur Guy and Students post as a milestone.
A report indicating Ministry of Treasury has approfe a significant number around US$ 600 million to get some Interim subs back then.
Hi chance to be a "pop off" news as Arrow Head 140 deal.
i wonder what happend with the ship at 10 meter away from max distance.
If you look closerly to Australia Submarine tender program, all of Subs offered by contender country has specififation to fufill Blue Water navy req.
It not necessarily SSN, SSK with li-ion battery and more capable combat...
