Probably, but we need to wait for the official release. But is weird if they indeed named the new camo "NKRI", the same name as the other new camo. Last year Andika also introduced the Multicam uniform, but in a plot twist, we got a modified version of it instead. So this camo here is both NKRI...
Yes Indeed, but we can do things in parallel, not necessarily sacrifice one for another, as the Navy modernization program can run side by side with the Army one. The recently acquired Anoa with gunshot detector is one example that we are going in the right direction, something that may be...
Honestly how sustainable Rafale could be? I personally don't think 36 + 15 is enough, and they do make our logistics chain complicated. I would assume they won't last that long, acting more like stopgap fighters similar to the Sukhois. Personally I would just push the KF-21 forward as our...
You saying Indonesia is "least engaged with western institutions compared to other ASEAN countries" is an unfounded assumption, even contradicting a concrete reality. How the heck we are "least engaged"? Idk but you seem to not quite get the education and promotion system of TNI, hence assuming...
> So how are we going to have the experience if we don't start to operate them? This is a circular logic "we should not operate X because we don't have the experience, but we do not want to operate x so we won't ever acquire the experience". So what is the point? At some point in the past we...
Let's do a discussion
Well, first of all, plans are supposed to be done in the future, in a projected future context. So of course by the time a concept is realized, which may take years and even decades, things could change by then, probably for the better economically because the current...
Just as predicted
As the article said, the cost of our future LPH is expected to be comparatively low to other country's ship of its class. So the future acquisition of it might be very likely to happen, with minimal cost of political will and economic investment, compared to say Japan's...
I have first-hand experience with the NKRI camo. The first instance was back in 2016 during my time in the Bela Negara thing, there were 2 instructors, one wearing the old DPM uniform and the other wearing the new NKRI uniform. Even up close seeing them from 5 meters distance or so, the...
Well because you are replying to me therefore I responded.
1. Are the spies did what they did, supposedly, to prepare for military invasion? Either they do or don't, there's no concrete proof that they do it on a scale comparable to Japan. I think this is a classic case of assumption, assuming...
This is inaccurate, it is very clear that Japan has sent spies across Asia for decades, to map the strategic environment here, as part of their "Southern Plan" proposed by the Japanese Navy. They did intend to invade Dutch East Indies for the rubber and oil resources here. Japan didn't invade as...
We should do both actually. Submarines have a good cost-to-benefit ratio and have the advantage of stealth compared to the surface fleet. DEI back then was also focused on their submarine fleet, probably the most effective assets they have during the Japanese invasion. But that being said, the...
