- So it's make sense 2 A400M to replace 2 C-130B (1lost)
- Issue for A330 VIP, i think president really need aircraft for long trip. Last year "Sekretaris Negara" try to lease A330 from Garuda

There are no news of any contract signed beside from those tweets. By now surely Airbus would announced the contract like what they did when Kazakhstan bought the A400M. And looks like the A400M pic is an old Airbus promotional pic from when our BUMN plans to buy the A400M.
Assume these rumors are real, I expect they will put this A330 in 17th Squadron below that ministry.- Issue for A330 VIP, i think president really need aircraft for long trip. Last year "Sekretaris Negara" try to lease A330 from Garuda
Dont take it seriously,keep calm and ngopiSo A330 MRTT or not?
Pure A330 VVIP configuration?
J*nc*k lah!!!
I hope SMI refused it!!
and if we buy bigger air transporter I prefer a jet powered one, something like Kawasaki C-2 since C-17 has ceased productionI prefer A330 MRTT because it can also be used for extra long trip VVIP plane / troops / logistics.
I hope SMI refused it!!
These rumors are like we are put a wrong pieces of puzzles. Others already put the right pieces and fast, but we are put the wrong pieces and slow lol, wth. Forget the arms race, dahlah terserah, Asren mungkin menangis melihat ini, kajiannya jadi lembaran-lembaran kertas tak bermakna.from 2x A330 MRTT mutated into 2x A400M MRTT and 1x A330 VVIP
and F-16 which is the backbone of our air forces still doesn't have any refueler
But if we decided to buy A400M(TNI AU/BUMN) I become less interested with C2.and if we buy bigger air transporter I prefer a jet powered one, something like Kawasaki C-2 since C-17 has ceased production
(while writing this post, I just realized that I fond of few made in Japs hardware)
Won't it just cause unnecessary friction between ministries?SMI must also knows about military systems or the most realistic is make her own team with specialities on defense matters to check about is the defense acquisitions and spending are right or not. If I'm her, I will pull people that work in consulting industries (Booz Allen, McKinsey etc) or hire consulting industries for this.
If that is needed then I will for sure planjer gas. And maybe name the team as Dewan Auditor Pertahanan (which actually not just work to audited it) or something non-controversial names wkkw.Won't it just cause unnecessary friction between ministries?
yeah, even if their reasoning are for "HADR" i'd rather choose A330 MRTT with freighter config compared to a400m, but i can't really judge too fast especially if airbus comply with their cn-235 promises.Just a bit of comparison.
A330 MRTT:
- Offload fuel capacity : 50 tons
- Loitering time : 4 hours
- Distance from base : 1000 nm (1852 km)
A400M AR mode:
- Offload fuel capacity : 35 - 40 tons
- Loitering time : 2 hours
- Distance from base : 500 nm (926 km)

SMI must also knows about military systems or the most realistic is make her own team with specialities on defense matters to check about are the defense acquisitions and other spending are right or not. If I'm her, I will pull people that work in consulting industries (Booz Allen, McKinsey etc) or hire consulting industries for this.
maybe wait for next week.It's already 9 September and no confirmation yet. No deal and canceled?
I hope this is because someone suddenly come into his senses put a stop to it.
Although highly unlikely
etc, etc.
