Destroyer and Frigate have a very thin line of differences these days, you may say that their classification is arbitrary. Bule may say that 7000-tonne ship class is only a Frigate yet the Japs may say 5000-tonne class is already a Destroyer.

Well, that's my entire point, she ignored checks and balances and instead concentrates all power on herself. If SM wants to improve Indonesia's finances then it's good. But she doesn't stop there, she encroaches on every affair of the state by holding tight control on the budget, crossing the...

A bit of unpopular opinion here, but I don't like Sri Mulyani and the current arrangement of Kemenkeu. She's too powerful and tipped the balance of power a bit too much. Imagine that a minister of finance, has her mercy on the national defense, and everything really. Kemenkeu itself has too much...

These RnD activities are carried out by different agencies. This 90mm is developed by Poltekad, while R-Han is Kemhan-PTDI project. So they don't supplant each other, they go in parallel, for a different purpose, by different researchers. You could criticize the technical aspect, but as for...

As you can see, that's the entire point: Making it smaller and therefore more compact for use in lesser intensity conflicts. The bigger and smaller caliber rockets serve different functions and don't necessarily substitute one another. 122mm class is for "field artillery" function, saturating...

Honestly, Neptune looks so ugly lmao. Why do Rusky people always make crude-looking things hmm. But then, I think it's not so wise to go for either Russian or Ukrainian stuff, because well their situation currently doesn't look so stable. On the other hand, my conclusion might be to go for...

SAMP-T/ Aster could be the ideal candidate since it has commonality with the FREMM weapon system.

I am kinda lost. So what is the current situation of our submarine acquisition plan? Ok well let's assume we indeed sought local production of submarines, that'll do. But what about the short-term foreign purchase? Last time I heard that Germany didn't approve our plan to procure U214, and...

I am honestly confused with our UAV/UGV strategic plan, we got CH-4, Elang Hitam prototype, and then "rumors" that Panglima is showing interest in MQ-1C. What exactly are we doing here?

That's what happens when you hastily promotes people based on politics, rather than on well thought out meritocratic decision

It is a shocking crime tbh, that it could just happen to anyone randomly. Had an accident with TNI personnel? boom, you'll be thrown into the river for them to cover up the crime. The personnel themselves were idiotic, military guys are very well documented and the witnesses will easily recall...

Honestly, I was always in favor of more F-16V and modernization of the rest than getting just a handful of F-15EX. As for the Rafale plan, getting KF-21 makes more sense in the long run tbh (to fill the medium fighter quota), if we can seriously commit to it, rather than introducing a new...

Well according to the convention, if we classify a ship as "Aircraft Carrier", then it would take the name of ancient kingdoms like Majapahit and Sriwijaya. But if we treats it more like LPD we made thus far, then it will be port city like Semarang and Surabaya. Well lets see if we ever make...

Beautiful, and it will be more beautiful if we just contributes more and get these babies down here

Indeed that any state affairs may have long term commitment needed for it to succeed, yet it is also what i think hampered our effort the most many times. We need to reform our budget and policy implementation system, yearly spending just doesn't cut it, on top of that leadership change also...

Tbh that admin has always been biased, since like last year i noticed his constant framing of opinion by pretending to be mouthpiece for South Korea, that's a very fake attitude and it is not our responsibility to listen to him

Guys, i come back here to check of your opinion regarding the F-21 debut. What do you guys think about it?

Why would anyone mined a swamp?

We should stop getting Israeli stuff that are generic (small arms, imported designs), you cannot rely on covert operations for big acquisition, limit it at small scale only

So what is the truth then?
