What it means is that it can go as far enough but still within the range of supporting ships. As long as there's couple of ships in the back providing cover it's enough. Putting more weapons on the Tboat will just makes it heavier and turning it into more of an attractive target to blow up. The...
Access to top of the line toys for one, access to EPAWSS being the prime example.
Then that defeats the purpose of the QUAD. Also people forgets that Vietnam is firmly in Russia's camp and QUAD future threats are expected to include Russia and North Korea. Having them on would just further...
who said anything about being hawkish all we should do is take advantages of the chaos in burma if it comes to that by engaging with the quads to find a solutions and if china sees that as hawkish on our part, then that's on them. ;););)
I ain't a liberal but this is why mercs should not replace a soldier's jobs. They're not supposed to fire at a hospital filled with civ to begin with! That's not just against Geneva but plain old RoE to have clear line of sight.
If they do get fired upon they should fall back and reform to...
The best part of this is that even if the Tatmadaw decided to opt for peaceful resolution. We can just claim credits for making it happens. That will shut up all them pesky human rights folks and make us more of serious player in the region and if they did do a civil war we can say "at least we...
He's a hype man for european weapon makers he got bankrolled by whom I forgot but that kinda sensational post is what he is infamous for that and hatred of all things for american toys.
Even as a supporters that Indonesia should have an active foreign policy and finally swing our weight around the region the statement still shocked me to say the least. And this is a good thing frankly and about time. Our "less freeer" ASEAN neighbors are frankly has always been our achilles...
What weapons they have they are either russian made junks or they didn't use them properly during the last war. S-300 and Repellent was shown to be ineffective and blown from the skies early on. While the Azeri have access to some of the world's finest weapons from the west and the training...
MRO stands for Maintenance, Repair and Overhaul. To do that you usually have to have to access to certain technology especially key one to do your own repair on site.
From what I remember is that MRO rights for the KFX was one of the main sticking point of the negotiations because Korea...
We have MRO rights so Rafale is already a better deal than KFX but it's the techs I'm more concerned whatever we got it's better be worth it introducing a new platform for the AU.
So we got tech transfer for the engine. What other Techs are we getting for buying the Rafales. If we ain't got s**t we better off sticking with the KFX. If we do we can use the techs with our version of the KFX. 🤞
They don't have to be the most cutting edge nation like Singapore or the UAE. Just keep the officer corps competent and only buy key weapon systems specifically design to counter their potential adversary (Like the Azeri drones). Any competent government would have gone on a defense spending...
This is what I like about the Azeri's army. They don't sit on their laurel after winning a major war and are preparing to fight in the next one. Compared that to the Armenian that let their armed forces decayed through years of corruption and neglect.
Truly a professional army. (y)
This is literally how the Chinese made their humvee copy by using parts from a hummer.
