the choice is not in our hands isn't it??
after CAATSA appear into our face, all i wanted is F15EX Full package to replace our plan to have the SU35
but after TNI change their option like F35 or F15EX, more problems comes up
Not ready for 5th gen, no EPAWSS bla bla bla aka "banyak bacot"
or pretend that we have a big balls and threat them that we have to buy SU 35 cause Rafale is just not good enough as an interceptor
copying India with their S400, the difference is they actually have balls
they said F35A is cheaper???
seriously??
imagination mode on
Indonesia ask to build the submarine together, German say no, Indonesia said "Fine, but you have to finished by yyyy-mm-dd, cause if we build it together it will finishied by that time"
imagination mode off
please Germans, U214 is a little million dollar upgrade for one of...
so is the EPAWSS
it's normal for all advanced things to be blocked when they prioritizing it for them self.
but when most of their F15 already upgraded with this things or maybe replacing F15C/D with F15EX...
i think there is a possibility that they will start exporting it in the future
and...
between F15EX downgrade or secondhand F15 with steroid
cause they said EPAWSS is a no no for TNI
let's just hope that they want to change their decision
an Original F15EX
Mogami is a multi-mission frigate right??
well honestly i was expecting something dedicated, something like Type 22 or Admiral Gorshkov
about the Poseidon P 8 and fleets of S70 B, i don't see any news about it
"I think F-35 will be mature"
are you sure??
and even if its true, that in 2030 it's gonna be good, why don't we just focusing our self to the F15 and other asset like our Navy....
Or even something that i never saw that it being upgraded to face today's threat (except that AMRAAM in SAM...
i wonder why so many of us love the F35, i thought F35 is troublesome and cost tooo much money....
cause the US AF is kinda tired and starting to buy another F15 due the F22 and or F35 is choking them....
doesn't mean that i disagree about this 5th gen fighter, i believe it's just too expensive...
single engine multirole vs two engine air superiority or multirole
it's a totally different species with a different function
sure they will got more problems by babysitting 2 things, but this new one is dedicated for the things that the F16 just not that good at.
and about the embargo, lets...
Wait wait, he said TNI prefer F16 block 72 rather than F15EX???
Why TNI dont want it?? is it because it still a new plane and no one know the bugs in it yet??
tooo expensive?? no experience with this plane??
Soryu-class, Invincible-class, Tridente-class
But it would be a lot better if they can get a new class based on the German Type-214.
Just like what happened to Tridente-class, Jang-Bogo and Invincible-class

It kind a shame full thing when people open this wiki page and see most of Singaporean MV Swift Rescue mission are to do the things that we should do by our self.
same thing goes to Malaysian MV Mega Bakti btw
