Regarding the nature of the conflict itself tho.
There were many speculations, people mostly took lessons learned from previous Russian wars in recent decades in an attempt to guess the Russian strategy. First in mind is the 2008 Georgian War, Russia launched extensive cyberattacks on Georgia...
Today Russian invasion has finally commenced for real, and of course, we gentlemen and ladies of the international community will observe this conflict like the cultured military enjoyers we are.
I have received much info from different OSINT sources (AKA social media), it appears that the...

Nah jk, I think if KF-21 is successful, they will be our main fighter to largely replace the role of F-16, sort of becoming the "workhorse" for the air force. Hopefully, we can continue "contributing" up to Block 3 (if it's indeed successful).
Pure comedy 🤡
This is a pre-alignment wedge diplomatic strategy by China, the goal is to preserve our neutrality as to prevent us from getting closer diplomatically to the West despite the fighter jets purchase. China tries to distract attention from implicating any shift in power balance as...
Meanwhile, our SAM acquisition is unclear, we are stuck with very outdated air defense capability, but so far there is no news from TNI regarding future long-range Arhanud.
They haven't even received the SPYDER yet.
Guy with a French accent explains why SAMP/T is better than Patriot.
Seriously, I think after the Americans, the French military of today presents the most effective military capability and most robust military industry out of all the developed...
Well, the best idea is probably to make one wingman platform for both A400 and Boramae, this will simplify our logistical needs instead of operating different wingman models for different planes.
Btw yesterday's infographics made me concerned, I mean our F-16s. It seems like their capabilities...
Kemhan defense strategy paper apparently mentioned KSS III and its' strategic capability, so at least we know someone in the MoD is interested in the 3 types of Korean subs. If these Korean subs have a serious problem then we need to figure out what's next after the Scorpene, probably solve the...
Perfect position, probably even more suitable than being a Menhan, as Lemhannas is our national strategic think tank and is in charge of educating our national leadership. Andi as an intellectual in the strategic studies field will do good in the position.
Tbh the key is to concentrate forces in an event of peer-to-peer air combat. The key to US victory at the Battle of Midway is that they were able to concentrate airpower on to a single point at a critical time. While Japanese failure was the exact opposite, they divide forces and couldn't get...
You know what, with the killer combo of Rafale, Eagle II, and Boramae, in the near future, our air force will finally surpass the capability of AURI in their prime.
Let's clear everything here
We got two extremes, one said cruise missile is more awesome and we can make it, the other said we cannot make cruise missiles and it's a failed project.
Why not get into the middle ground: Even if it's not a cruise missile, it's still a working drone, and as the...
All of these western tech fighters and yet SG kids on Reddit said that "Indonesia is a major user of Chinese hardware", hence cannot get F-35 (but Thai can?).
