Rafale and Typhoon are sibling actually.. the French pull out from the programme because they need jet that can be launched from CVs.. which is why Rafale is smaller than Typhoon.
My guess is Typhoon ex-Austria will come as is.. and the sqd become operational by end of 2021.. then Rafale will...
Russian doesnt allow any mod here. They also charge expensively for MRO. That is why we doing heavy maintenance in 3rd country like Belarussians. This has become pressing issue which makes AU to buy sims.
The problem is that we dont know what is Biden stance toward China. Because if he wants to fix his own economy then he needs to be in cooperation with China. This can push back any regional stance in asia pacific back to China favor. Even Japan or S.Korea may wont like it.
Typhoon with strict roles just interceptor can have very low operational cost. They will not flying that much compared to jets doing air patrol. But training will need sims or at abroad.
Same assumption also can be done with sukhois as new sims get online.
That depends on how much money that minister bring to pdip. Gerindra can afford banished anybody except hashim and wowo. Pdip without kiemas? Not so much.
A survey team from my office met a tiger in rokan last year. Maybe the population is already exist for but stay hidden. And nowaday they go outside of their habitat looking for food
imagine the parade on 2024.. lead by KFX flying prototype.. then a flight of Typhoon + Sukhois.. full diamond formation by rafale and F-16.. followed by T-50
glorious

Brahmos in the other hand has a version designed to be launched from Sukhoi MKI. Which is similar with our sukhoi. So I...
Not just the missile but actually whole comprehensive anti-ship missile system is required. Esp if those large LPDs are coming.
Short term acquisition will be air launched missile like brahmos. And the last one will be something like Udaloy II or Slava hehehehe
What interesting point is that...
Osprey and other Boeing product are pushed by Jared because he gets a fee for any transaction deal. He is the Boeing lobbyist.
This bluff is countered by Prabowo by asking F-35.. there is no way TNI can afford the maintenance scheme of F-35
nothing will happen here.. move along
You can’t have research center without industry. And you can’t have industry without massive and continuous purchase (with profit).
as long as mil procurement is ngeteng n ngutang then dont hold your hopes high
There should be no difference in design for KFX and IFX..
BUT....... our side can fuck up things with their ffbnw mindset hahahahaha
like targeting pod and jammer pod along with weapons will be purchased separately..
even maybe radar can be purchased separately..
also looking from dev of...
This thing happened with knowledge from unit command. Do you think some random sergeant/corporal can get permit for off the book job and arrange such deal with a super rich guy?
