TBH some second hand items are really too good to miss out

Alhamdulillah only when we settle our outstanding debt :D

check the location of the rig first, ZEE or territorial water

sub that is capable to launch sub launched AShM or even SLBM has been a common thing since several decades ago, therefore IMHO it is a capability that is not that secret. The dispersion of a sub, well that is definitely a secret. Question now regarding our subs is whether we really activate...

TNI AU has a LOT to learn and a LOT of evolution in mindset, maintenance and support if they want to use F-35 or any 5th gen platform properly. The day TNI AU has achieve parity with RSAF or RAAF, that is the day that TNI AU is ready to operate F-35 or any 5th gen platform

considering there are alternative routes to those considered as choke points, major enemy surface combatants can always opt to bypass those choke points. That is why, for Indonesia the naval battle space will have to be fought and won on the high seas and therefore it is my firm belief that the...

somehow I wouldn't be that surprised if the frigates that will come as a result of said deal with the Japanese are the Abukumas :p

why not partner with STK? Pindad could learn A LOT from STK and I am sure that our Singaporean friend will be more than happy to share know how with us.

if we really want eagle EX, next procurement for AMRAAM and Winder (and other munitions) should be in the thousands. Even hundreds would be too low

SSM is still very much relevant today. The US Navy is one such navy who have been neglecting their SSM and come to a hard realization that their surface warships lack SSM for today's near peer conflict and thus scrambling to develop or acquire new SSM to equip their surface warship. Even the...

if the Aster turns out to be Aster 15, the combination of Aster 15 and NS 200 will provide the two Iver hulls a capabilities similar to RSN's Formidable? Well at least they improve the SAM being used from MICA to Aster family, as IMHO I do not think we ever aim to have a dedicated AAW Frigate...

regardless

i think the image of KFX being assembled is all around the world wide web, among others: https://www.defenseworld.net/news/28866/S_Korean_KF_X_Jet_Prototype_Roll_out_in_April Why won't they? at least the possibility is there.

hope the order of Harimau Hitam will goes beyond the current 18 vehicles and hope the program is protected from agent driven initiatives to acquire different platform with similar capability

yes, as KFX is no longer a design on paper and can be physically seen come April 1st, I think we can do a bit "ngayal babu" about its chance for F-35 lite :p

I second your opinion. At this juncture we really need to make up our mind, whether we want to stay and thus fulfill our commitment or whether we want to withdraw and make it clear to our counterpart and fulfill any outstanding commitment up to the date of withdrawal. I believe withdrawing...

yep agree with you, the French use the same approach with their FREMM right.

well good for them, as you can see even with only 20% share we have proven that we are an unreliable partner.

if we want equal right with SK then we should bear 50% of the costs and risk, only then will it be a fair and mutual cost and risk sharing which will also give us a fair and equal rights.

all that acquisition list suddenly means nothing if we consider the presentation from Asrena (if i'm not mistaken) that shows our fighter fleet only have 37% readiness, which makes me really sad
