I gotta admire this woman's tenacity, especially at times like this, how much does the Party pays her i wonder (most probably more than 50 cent i suppose)
more correctly brave yourself, Bantingan is coming
the next 3 years will be the golden years for AL and AU it seems, though in terms of budgeting i think this year will be the highest pakde's have ever spend for defence related matters
what i meant is that the Navy could send its WSOs to operate the system for a month or so to introduce and familiarize the system before Sylver with its Asters are fitted in IH or FREMM (if possible for that matter)
what about NASAMS 2, i think since we already have the familiarity of the system we could increase the units, maybe lobby the US to grant us AIM-120C-7 or D to be used for the NASAMS (and maybe for our F-16 too)
Though SAMP-T may give us learning tool to familiarize us with the system before IH...
Lol, jokes aside, it would be better to increase our support ships (like LST, Oiler, Sub-tender) and the likes as well as a corvettes or OPVs that can act as their protector with proper SAM, Radars and guns
Oh yeah FD-2000 lol, there was a rumor that it covers our south-eastern borders from intrusion by US and Aussies though i don't know whether it's true or not
Why do i have a feeling that it would be a KS-1 or its newer variant the HQ-22, though HQ-22 is much nicer since it is also used as a replacement for the HQ-9 (S-300 knock-off)
If HQ-22 i'll be damned, after all the years since Formil Kaskus era and the hoax that HQ-9 was stationed in Biak for...
What would they offer i wonder, i hope it is not another some overglorified rudal panggul put into a truck with 2000 or better yet 3000 numbering on it
It sounds like the committee uses their own rendition of Indonesia Raya ya? sounds a bit Japanese especially in the brass section
lucu sih kedengerannya agak beda, unique nonetheless
With the recent romantic relation with Leonardo and Italy on navy procurement and diplomacy, i wonder whether the Navy is interested with Sauro Batch IV for the replacement of Nanggala, it is not that old (latest batch was released on early 90s) and by submerged tonnage it fulfills the...
I hope it's air defense, at least another addition to the NASAMS that we already bought before, we really need a major update, upgrade and upgun of all the air defenses that we have right now
wasn't Harimau have some space for 2-4 person in its back, a more compact turret or maybe a heavy RWS like those fitted in Puma may provide and increase space for infantry carrying purposes
I remember during the first year of M109 BE introduction and training there were a lot of confusion in...
that's just too much, even Japan that have technological expertise to build one each year only employ 22 and some of them are being phased out to training duties
18 maybe okay (6 for each Koarmada) but 36 is just like stocking for spare part cannibalization
watching these, i wonder how would Indonesia adapt with an adversary that would use mass jamming of communication facilities by every means possible.....
well judging from the Long Range SAM, what else other than SM-2
the combo would either be Sylver A50 with with Aster 15 and Aster 30 or Mk-41 with SM2 and ESSM.....unless the Indonesian definition of LRSAM is for SAM with more than 25 km range, then it would be a different case altogether (even...
keep in mind this is still early screening review guys, we might encounter several bantingan from here on out
but seeing from the early review, i can see that the proposed model is leaning toward Sylver for the VLS, will it be A50 with a combo of Aster 15 and 30
judging from it, i'm kind of...
