But maybe the operational cost will be higher than Rafale & Russian stuff? Well, we won't know for sure. As with every other procurement program with the U.S, it really depends on what's we would like to be included in the purchase.

I think the poor guy still in shock after years of smack talking against us 🤣

Looks like I'm a bit late to the party :D I think this what @oldsodier was saying before, how the high RMP figure for most of the contract mandated by the MoF doesn't make sense. Bear in mind, the amount projected in the DSCA released is in the MAX end of the scale, as what FPXAllen is saying...

All I'm saying is a 90mm rocket would be too small to be an effective MLRS munition. Even the Type 63 that Madokafc mentioned above is sitting at 100++ mm (107mm to be exact). The old portable BM-14 that the army used to operate has a 140mm tube. Unless we're talking about aerial rockets like...

Why are we wasting time and efforts to RnD MLRS in this caliber? for a 90mm rocket, I'd rather have it as shoulder-launch direct-fire munition for infantry teams. 90mm will provide too small of coverage for saturation attack. Our 122mm RHAN should be the minimum for MLRS

No, it's that trident-shaped antenna behind the exhaust in the first photo. Also, do I spot LWR receiver behind those smoke dischargers Yeah 26 Anoa, 10 Komodo, and 7 Badak, that's almost a full proper mech batt

Still waiting for BAIS to create their own Santet division

Can someone please enlighten me on the need for having a dedicated CT unit at the regional/battalion level? To my understanding when poop hit the fans, it will be the Koopsusgab that handles it anyway. I imagine these units cost quite a lot bit resources to create, they even insisted on wearing...

This is exactly the repercussions of our "bebas-aktif" policy. What exactly have we shown to them that gives them confidence that we'll be a dependable partner in the region? For example, compare our response to the formation of AUKUS vs China's hypersonic missile test a month later. Unlike the...

I thought Tarakan class, at least for KRI Tarakan has only capacity for 5500 cubic meters of fuel as opposed to 7,400 cubic meters KRI Arun? Unless we decide to update KRI Bontang design specifications, which I hope to be the case.

IMO the way I see it this could represent a deeper organizational problem, which I hope not. Why are we using GFP as a metric? Do we not have our own dimension to measure our capability? It looks as if the policymakers are so keen to get into the dick-measuring contest tbh

See what did I tell you all, they use it as an actual KPI, turun renk tapi ges

Now isn't this just looks way better when the helmet and vest are OD coloured rather than black? How can't they have seen this in the first place?

I won't use Australia as a comparison. Their acquisition price tends to be bloated due to customization and local production/supplier, just see their SPH acquisition program.

More playtime with the P8 for our airforce boys

Doesnt matter, whats important is our GFP ranking keeps improving. It's a number game guys, come on.

Nah, a lot of brilliant people come and gone, but the problem with BUMN always tends to be due to poor documentation and knowledge transfers and if I have to guess, probably also lacking vision in general. PAL has (I think it was PAL) a blueprint for AsHM sitting gathering dust somewhere in...

Exactly, unless I'veve missed it, this is a milestone in terms of inoperability between us and the USAF. Good to see.

https://tni-au.mil.id/satu-flight-pesawat-f-16-laksanakan-latihan-bersama-tni/ I find the training material interesting, if not a bit eye-raising. I don't remember we conduct the same exercise when RuAF Bear made a stop over a few years ago.

I'm aNtEK iSrOiL because they have the best SPG and no not the Self-propelled gun kine of SPG. https://www.instagram.com/p/CSwK7XnBIT-/ I feel sorry for our BVP-2 being shoved in as SPAAG instead of its native function as IFV. Hopefully, in the future, the Marinir would have budge...
