considering the "surprised" word, i hope it isn't some Chinese Rheinmettal knock-offs

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TR-1700-class_submarine This thing should fulfill most of the specs stated in the news, it's old yes, but with a proper modernization and refit done by HDW or maybe even those Korean shipyards, it may have a capability close to U-209-1400mod i suppose

well at the time Damen already have its claws really deep on us, most likely it was the maneuvering that really defeated Ada being chosen other than the kickbacks (and maybe a slight exaggeration of the technical aspect by its sales) Honestly if we see the current iteration of Ada, it's not...

the power of kickback maybe :whistle:

some sort of payback for AUS abandoning them halfway through......well in this kind of situation i hope Bu Menlu and 08 can use our position, stance and condition as a leverage for them in providing what we need (whether it be scorpene, gowind or something else) in a reduced price

well from what i read in the past most defence contracts involving France usually have some shady dealings with the local politicians (which is not uncommon), but to see all the ongoing contracts being cancelled within a short time, either there really is something wrong in the Defence Industry...

What is happening with France, all of a sudden everyone seems to ditch Naval Group, hopefully this won't affect Dassault too

a wake up call for us especially on our north-western borders and GCI radars operations in the frontiers, which from what i know back in the days were not operating 24 hours due to shortage of diesel fuel logistics and supply worryingly enough those flying wings operated at night time can...

Wanaherang facility is already assembling CKD kits of commercial spec Mercedes trucks, though from what i know it's the cheaper Indian-made trucks, not the European-made I also recall that TNI does all military truck orders directly to Mercedes Stuttgart and never to it's subsidiary in...

I kinda wonder when will another red scare happen, not just in Indonesia but in other regions too since the threat of Fifth Columnist is quite clear and apparent But then again that one Bapak is so romantically involved with the CCP and also our northern border seems to become like a staging...

LOL, the jargon of kita gak bakal perang sama siapapun sampai 50 tahun ke depan much like internet cepat buat apa? Midget Sub prototype provided by Iran or NK? Is the facility ready to conduct operations more than assembling process, as fas as i know PAL's facility is only capable in...

16 Mk-41 with a combo of 4 quad-packed ESSM and 12 SM-2? Considering this will be AAW-purposed frigate, i do hope that we could also get SeaRAM for CIWS

so if counting on the procurement phase: Phase 1 is Iver Huitfeldt Phase 2 is FREMM Phase 3 is 30FFM Phase 1 and 2 is already final in terms of the ship design type while for Phase 3 it can be countered by other shipyards with their own design, is that right? I can imagine OMT and Fincantieri...

i think Indonesia is open to all possibilities of modification to 30FFM, the only problem i think would be the Japanese reluctance on adopting EU OEM platforms to its ship, which is basically a promotional tool for Japanese and American naval defense industries to countries that have closer ties...

Kim Il Sung and Syngman Rhee would like to have a word with you

Ah no wonder LM is so desperate despite all the orders of 16V from Taiwan and ME as well as the F-35 projects from US-aligned countries is there any possibility for us to replace all our Block 15 OCU with 16V, though if that's possible, and stationing all those old F-16 to maybe patrol duties...

i kind of wonder whether Japan would be interested in such proposition from EU OEM as this means that the frigate would have to be modified to suite EU OEM's platforms, though it's not a huge problem, i sense that Japan would be all out in selling 30FFM with a combo of Japanese and US platforms...

Another batch of NASAMS? to counter DK10 and Pantsir KW from China, hopefully it will include with a full shipment of AMRAAM (and other weapon suites) both for the 15EX, 16E/F and NASAMS Why does it looks like LM is so desperate to sell those Vipers just to cover the RnD cost lol Anyway, can...

i thought all L119 is already phased out in favor of M777, seems like US Army still keep some for low intensity combat

Hilux, Innova and Fortuner (basically the first Toyota IMV Platform) is called Kebo for no reason, as a former owner of 2KD VNT, i can say it is one hell of a tough platform And it's a good choice for tactical automaker to use Toyota Diesel engines, it's performance and reliability is top notch
