I doubt it, Indonesia is not going to join something like NATO and get all involved in the business of multi-lateral "partnership" in RnD etc from whichever main superpower developers. If you keep things transactional as possible while developing what you need locally long term as best as you...

Really doubt Biden will do anything differently. CAATSA bill passed 98 - 2 Senate and 419 - 3 in House. This means all the swamp (where Biden has made his entire filthy career) is behind it strongly (both GOP and Dems). This is massive legislature support....the executive matters very little...

https://theprint.in/defence/what-india-saudi-uae-look-to-gain-from-gen-naravane-trip-a-first-by-an-indian-army-chief/562866/ New Delhi: Regular joint military exercises and training besides joint production of defence equipment are some of the goals that India, UAE and Saudi Arabia look to...

Points if anyone can explain the basic (bigger) problems by doing a currency swap to pay debts (to other parties) https://tribune.com.pk/story/2275770/china-again-bails-out-pakistan-to-pay-saudi-debt ISLAMABAD: China has again bailed out Pakistan as it agrees to immediately provide $1.5...

https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/business/india-business/tatas-bid-for-air-india-67-years-after-exit/articleshow/79712441.cms Bleh, it took this long for SOE to come full circle back to where it started. @Gundala just one example on our side lol.

I have same dislike of SOE and PSU as you. But do you know who would be most likely to buy these? I would think Indonesian govt puts clause that only local corporate/conglomerate can buy them given they are of strategic nature....and that reduces the capital pool. Sometimes this is the very...

Heh, well when you go out ice skating and pull your arms in when spinning, you can pirouette helluva fast if you dont watch out. Hehe, it actually reminded me of a professor I once had when we worked on a satellite design project. One of my louder-brash project-mates kept venturing that we...

@anmdt @trishna_amrta Lets move on guys, lets drop the other issue. @Kartal1 forgot to tag you to this interesting thread.

If everything is set up well to handle it, it can be done. France/EU for example does so with Korou site in Guiana if you look at where the facilities are for production vs final assembly vs launch: https://www.ariane.group/en/about-us/our-main-facilities-and-locations/ Roll on, roll off ships...

It will take a lot to unpack, there have been several economic reforms and initiatives too given the larger context of what ails Indian economy. This is just tiny portion of it I go through here: https://defencehub.live/threads/indonesian-economy-and-updates.1273/page-7#post-34762 i.e if you...

Guy needs a mad lads episode or something...

A very well put analysis of the issues at hand. I agree near 100%. But you know me, I sometimes skirmish away from my own position (known to me in the end only), to test and see what another's position is and how he is able to argue and defend it, if he can at all.

Long story in itself... Israel labour did lot of goof ups (but who didn't?), huge swathes of Israeli public lost confidence in the old stewardship ( meir et al. at the time) after Yom Kippur war...it served as opening for the old irgun cadre like Begin....and Likud story starts there more or...

No it just wont be signed by him, super majority pass by legislature does not need executive to sign off on it for it to become law. It has happened before.

Yes India followed this line of thinking (support to Palestinian nationhood) during cold war era as well (and it continues to this day i.e 2 state solution). But it didn't stop India from recognising Israel in 1950 (because I see Nehru in that picture too hehe). What India did do was tailor...

There is no reason I see Indonesia and Malaysia continue non-recognition of Israel. The issue is literally on other side of world. Countries need to think in nationalist terms first (what is their best interests for them), not this religion-identity thing across countries. That just open up...

Definitely the other investments (Tesla) etc interest me lot more than the SpaceX thing here. Skipping past the issues already discussed in this thread, SpaceX like any aerospace company is very logistics intensive and reliant. They need a dedicated, assured infra at hand to their launch...

I would say GLF (because of the famine). Cultural revolution is another big bag of tragedy. Our friend continues the triggered spam here and all his inane comparisons typically. He wants to try to compared todays world leaders w.r.t covid to something like this: Throughout the Great Leap...

Well its a very matured capable platform...I would not say its "only" positive thing. Essentially it fits the 4th gen profile at the highest setting much like Rafale...with a massive assortment of not only sensoring, integration, assurance for IN other assets, but massive weapons package and...
