It's been awhile since I visit this forum.. If you are asking because of the recent Russia's performance then I think you PROBABLY got the wrong impression. Again, probably. Ukraine is definitely not an easy target, they have home and defender advantage (they know the terrain etc, and in most...

Sri Mulyani just posted on her FB page (sorry, in Indonesian): What will it be, Korean or a new one (France?) ?

Wherever the source of ToT, or if we can develop on our own, I truly hope it will works. It may be true that it doesn't make sense economically right now, but we have to think long term and for our strategic interest. I wont be surprise if in 2030 we have acquisition budget of 3 billions USD per...

That's what I said on my other post(s), albeit on other wordings. I quote my own post: However, there are other points: (1) MAYBE, that's the reason we (the government) were talking about walking out of the project. We realized that this project is not enough and we even negotiated to have...

I know that it is necessary, but somehow it sounds bitter to my ear. Oh well, I truly hope that I will be proven wrong in the future.

Look, the way the program is doing, if there is nothing change, we will GET STUCK at the building-the-airframe part. If we want to learn about the engine, radar, avionics etc, well the Korean are doing it. Can we learn with the Korean? No. That's why I said, first, hopefully Prabowo / gov can...

I prefer we built the important ones our own, and I CERTAINLY AGAINST putting all the eggs on one basket, especially on one of the most important alutsista (jet fighters).

From what I remember, the initial batch will be 200, and we get (buy / built) 40 >>> 20% International customer: definitely. On the video they projected various countries flag / colors on the aircraft. We shall be the first.

Also easily available everywhere, relatively inexpensive and "good enough" quality for RCWS ..? Again, with the tech nowadays.. these kind of things is very affordable and "open". I mean, if we want something like what NASA use to view the earth on crisp picture up from the space, then the tech...

I don't mean to ruin the party, but this is what I worry about the KFX program: https://www.cnbcindonesia.com/news/20210409115143-8-236506/teknologi-pembiayaan-tantangan-proyek-jet-kfx-prabowo Specifically, the tech part (I don't think Connie mentioned about the engine, I'd like to add that)...

I don't think so.. Just google-image Aselsan SARP and then compare the sensor at the front with this one (around 3:56), seems that they are using different sensors and different positions. Also looks like Aselsan is using specially built / heavily modified guns, while these guys only put an...

We really should put more fund into rocket research. This, combined with certain kind of warhead could make a great poor-man-deterrent-effect. ***** So.. great news huh!! Although not to burst anyone's bubble, the real news here is that we do, or at least plan to allocate more than 5 billions...

Why do you ask that? I want to keep that as mystery! :D It's a dream, my dream. They are, it's the main fighter of some of Europe's major players (excluding France), they can't afford to be left behind.

Hmm.. Your reply kind of baffled me.. For the record I don't pro China, I don't pro US, I don't pro Russia, Australia, India, Saudi, Iran etc etc. I am pro Indonesia, a better Indonesia, means a better living for me. Anyway.. If you are referring to us not being close to "US block", (you can...

" Upgraded ex-Austrian ones + 48 new units," Tranche one can get a great upgrade, as for the new units, go for tranche 3! https://www.airbus.com/newsroom/press-releases/en/2019/02/airbus-delivers-first-upgraded-tranche-1-eurofighter-to-spanish-air-force.html Probably will cost around 6-7...

Pure Typhoon. Upgraded ex-Austrian ones + 48 new units, even more with license. Possible using multi-years contract scheme. I'll just put this here.

One of the veteran told me that during the guerilla war (War of Independence), after battle kids will scour the battlefield to pick up used magazines and other stuff that could be handy. So there is that..

You mean Prabowo visit to China? That is IMO 1 between 2 possible explanation (the other being they were in cahoots (in term of it was actually Indonesia's request to give a reason for weapon spending). We will never be as close as they are, at least not now. The "anglo sphere" have common...

I only quoted this post, but I'd like to respond to a few points on the other posts. We don't really have a problem internally. I mean, yes, there is Covid-19, there are intolerance / terrorism issues every now and then, and even now there is a problem with a certain organization, but I believe...

I am very surprised and IMO this is quite an escalation. As far as I know, this is the first time the police ever shot any FPI member.. and they shot 6 men, dead! I hope things will de-escalate immediately. It sounds like FPI is backing down, and the public are mainly support the police...
