still getting obsolete for today's world, modern medium calibre offer better overall performance and if range is one of the requirement then better to switch to 105 mm altogether.
Kav should embrace medium calibre auto canon to replace anemic 90 mm low pressure gun. on artillery, i think 105 mm would still have its merit or if they want to have a self propelled light arty, they can consider the 120 mm belrex. would good to have them in terrain like Papua
not directly but a while back within this very thread there is a discussion about influx of PRC's citizens to certain areas in Eastern Indonesia and TNI's concern relating to that matter. so my post is a response to that
Does not want to go too far to the region of conspiracy theory, but I think it is already a common knowledge who is the big wig that have interest in Morowali and his well known connection with PRC. Afraid that other than establishing the necessary mitigation plan there are not that much that...
if you have at your disposal a fleet of 200 F-16s composed of AM/BM standard and the latest Block 70 equipped with latest block AIM120, latest version of AIM9, guided munitions, anti radiation munition and anti ship munition, no one will say that our F-16 lack the deterrence wkwkwkwk
on this subject, I believe once we prove that we can and able to maintain and operate 4.5 platform like Rafale or Eagle EX, the argument that we need "bridging" platform will no longer applicable and in the event we receive further rejection, then it is clear that diplomatic stance is indeed the...
Tuna has been drilled by Premier Oil since 2011, if this year the red A hole comes to harass, then they are definitely making a di*k move and dem a** really need to be slapped big time
If F-15 EX contract is signed, also pray that we sign contract for comprehensive weapon procurement contract as well. F-15 EX with dozens of sari bahari instead of BVR AAM or guided munitions will definitely looks sore in my eyes
It really goes full cycle, the incompetence of domestic industry combined with the incompetence with those drafting the requirements combined with "ganti pejabat ganti kebijakan" thingy combined with sales driven planning. Perhaps we need to consider applying stoning as the penalty of those...
I wouldn't waste my time listening some retired TNI AL admiral ranting about acquisition. First and foremost, what did they do re modernization of TNI AL when they are active duty? Nothing, other than buying flashy operational cars, but that does not count except when their cars are used as...
As it is, Indonesia is not that compelling to USA. If suddenly our govt official start to scream "Ganyang RRC" like what happened post 65 and decided to join the quad and manage to silence all opposition to such plan, I think that will be the time when USA will start to consider elevating our...
F-35 is more mudharat than manfaat for our AF. Any balance of power can still be offset with 4.5 gen fighter, provided that all options are ticked and acquired
