Nope , i'm not going delve in that labyrinth of possibilities . Seeing is believing . I'm not interested in discussing what could have and ifs .
Until they are come and running then i would participate some more . And nope we still have the financial capability to cover a double of all of those...
Rather than commenting on high end stuff i was rather more pleased to hear on our supposedly added firepower for the grunts . Stingers and 120 mm mortar for the company level support and recoilles for the platoon level . That is an awesome added fire power capabilities ...
OH ... Just for a reminder....
Try to differentiate the code between EX , exs and ID for some time . Because to be honest ...
I doubt even the speaker himself realized or aware to emphasize or articulating the code differences for the audience's sake during his fiery speeches at that moment ...
This is Indonesia . Until we are seeing the thing in flesh nothing was ever set in stone as yet !!
So train your heart more young padawans . It's a long and perilous rolling coasting journey for you until you'll see the light again ...
Say ... Another decade or so i'll say ... 😂
Fuso class transport ... I kinda like the term there ... 😂
Army brass were more concerning about the island hopping capabilities more than the rest of the features . It's all about ranges benefit and infrastructure limitations demerit .
All in all different spec get a different gear . Make no...
After all those bruahaa with the hips liked or not we are not compatible with the eastern product after all . Not to mention lack of maintenance center and russia unwilingness in providing them in the country ( just to maximize their own profits ! ) In the end we are geared and more prepared in...
How in the hell he could convinced our financial overlord is beyond me . But i guess JKW was basically give him a free reign and don't care about his antics as long as he could deliver a tangible result with a minimum corruption tendencies while giving some local/national industries benefits in...
Truthfully when it considering specops requirement in these drone age . Osprey was a must have equipment . It was no longer a luxury product but a force multiplier tools .could we afford it ?? Yes we could . How could we maintaning it ?? That's a different can of worm alltogether that is you...
I don't know how to comment on the navy wish lish . But the reality is that wishlist would only a minimum requirement we should have/needed just trying to " contain " the northern waves ..
It's still within the realm of our economic capacities for the acquasition . It's the maintenance financing capability that i was cocerning off here ...
Company level support for their point of aerial defenses/area denial. This is a good sign ... Slowly we are gearing toward a peer to peer enggagement mindset and tactics . Nobody was an idiot , all of this changing mindset and realization of what was needed were a preparation for the rainy days...
Just a reminder ....
All of these " contact " only happened in the highland rural/tribal area ( OPM traditional base support area ) . The rest of papua are chills as fuck like they were used to . They don't even know or even care about lock down or corona virus at all !!
Then let us grab some popcorn and watch the thing unfold . Our tactic regarding hostage situation has come a long way since the latest 90... And boy , we are coming a long way from then . Just let us hope the authorithy can keep things clear and tidy ....
Too much koeman and pigai these days...
If this is turn ugly and get into a hostage situation ...then OPM will get a very rude awakening coming their way fast . Let just hope they were that stupid .
Everybody will get their share ... The most likely outcome would be F 16 from US ( regardless the series/block ) and Dassault get the double class engine with a massive local cookies ( TOT ) to satisfy some hardcore local element ....
Just hoping we don't bite what we couldn't chew . Even local...
If what written was true then at least we had some hope after all . TBH it's a high time we give some SOE some heathy dose of competitiveness reality .
While i support and see a lot of merit in these wishlist . Too bad in these turbulence times this " normal wishlist " were allready in the borderline of wet dreams indonesian style ...
😭
In essence nothing is wrong with your line of thingking hence why we need F 16 as a workhorse for CAP . F 15 was the equvalent of SU class in our inventory ( albeit wiht a superior sensor and techs ) and Rafales are blurring the line ... While medium in size ( debatable i know ) yet they come in...
