Those would be for our Para Raiders airborne division, weasel can be air lifted and dropped by parachute to support the airborne operation.
And all Puma, Linx, Weasel are transportable by A-400 . 2 to 6 A-400 will be ours, right?
( horang kaya dream)
The Germany's Puma IFV or Lynx IFV would be best companion for Kaplan/Pindad's Black Tiger and , off course, the Leopards, creating a mighty "big cats" population in the army.
At first, I thought Lt. Gen. A.M Putranto who will be promoted become Army Chief of Staff, as his track record and performance is quite well by far. He has also served many yeas as 3 star general. compared to D.A who just relatively new as 3 star general then suddenly jumped onto Army's...
This could be another possibility. but, if its true, it'll be a big blunder to Mr. President. Treat the Military Chief of Staff position as a stepping stone for someone's political career in this geopolitical situation is really dumb ass. I don't think this is the plot for AP in the near...
If president choose from Navy, there will be 2 years of service before retirement, but if president choose from Army, only 1 years of service remaining. Unless, there is also change in military retirement age from 58 years to 60 years. This is another rumor following the appointment of Gen...
That was 10 years ago, IDEX 2011 Abu Dhabi
Leo still like a wet dream for TNI-AD at that time...only some "kasak-kusuk" of its acquisition had been heard
Talk about "cocoklogi" with Lingua Franca:
The Air Marshall Hadi Tjahjanto whom will soon be retired next month is quite fluent in Lingua Franca ( remember his conversation with Enzo Zenz Allie during "Pantuhir" session couple of years ago)
Maybe Pak Hadi Tjahjanto will be assigned as Indonesian...

Though I started my early career in MRO facilities for gas turbines & propulsions, the majority of my careers afterwards were doing field engineering job for some gas turbines OEMs, then for the last 3 years as a sr. turbomachinery...
Is this in Papua? I've seen many pictures of Papua's mountain range, but never seen before such a majestic landscape like this, so many pillars towering across the mountain range
This is what I was brought up into Airforce's thread discussion, about the bridging project for KFX/IFX. another ToT program is needed here, in which we can absorb thoroughly all the skill set and design & manufacturing knowledge that we've missed during KFX/IFX development.
To my brother...
I didn't say at 1999 NTP only focused on industrial gas turbines, I said I was there in 1999, joined NTP
as apprenticeship program for gas turbine overhaul engineer.
Off course NTP, previously known as UMC ( Universal Maintenance Center) - PT. IPTN , has its core business in aero engines...
JV between GE and NTP? you mean PT. GENTS? as i remember correctly, since first time I joined as gas turbine overhaul engineer apprentice in 1999 at NTP, GENTS only did GE industrial gas turbines, not for aero engines.
At that time, NTP still has over 400 skilled employee. even though IMF had...
