Just for the sake of clarity. Are you saying that MoF can order MoD on what to buy and what not to buy? For example, the recent case of buying Mirage 2000 was the result of MoF ordered MoD to buy it?
What are you talking about, the CONTEXT is clearly due to the supposed Mirage plan. Fighter jet acquisition is not related to TNI-AU according to you? And you can you with your own eye(s) those who signed the deal according to the video: Kemenkeu, and Bappenas.
No lah, MoD is doing independent decision.
Are there any 2ndhand Rafale left from France?
Rafale second? I guess they’re still not affordable as per available budget (without big loan commitment).
Even the Greek second-hand Rafale are from the French Air Force, I think there is no Rafale gurun version just like the F16 in the boneyard.
Well, although this issue seems valid enough, as long as there's still no official statement, it's still in the same category as "rumors".
Love it, rumours were released for various reason: testing the water (public oppinion), counter adversary by dicrediting the opponent, checking foreign nation reaction (overseas oppinion), etc. I respect you for not publishing it altho this kind of things sometime have more "sell value". Thumbs up for you bro
Jokowi will visit UAE after Russia.Now let me throw a wild FALSE INFORMATION just for arguments sake and making a point; UEA or Qatar is willing to support our Rafale purchase via Loan but with a certain conditions. One of the condition is for us to purchase excess Mirage fighters?? Is the Mirage rumour purchase beginning to make sense now??
I think we will get the answer after Jokowi visit to UAE.Love it, rumours were released for various reason: testing the water (public oppinion), counter adversary by dicrediting the opponent, checking foreign nation reaction (overseas oppinion), etc. I respect you for not publishing it altho this kind of things sometime have more "sell value".

Some of the information I see might be half of truth. Things like high inteterest rate and so forth might be reelated to risk and other things (yes I am aware about the what so called rahasia umum). For example; higher risk means more relaxing terms, lower risk equal to more strings attched to it whether it is related or not to the purchase it self. And in this case only certain eselon high ranking officials knows the detail. Just like how we got very low interest offer from certain country back then for a certain project, turned out there are too many string attached to it that in the end diminish the economic multiplier effect domestically. Trust me its not all about interest when it comes to foreign loan.
Back to the AU; from here I stand there are already some understanding from higher ranking AU officers with 08 to carry the program together and that is very important for program continuation. If we remember not to long ago there was join statement between 08 and SM about how the kementrian bendahara will support the defence procurement. That is political statement to counter issue about how certain kementrian seems reluctant to support.
Now let me throw a wild FALSE INFORMATION just for arguments sake and making a point; UEA or Qatar is willing to support our Rafale purchase via Loan but with a certain conditions.

I'm probably what you can call the last generation of "old school" journalists who were formally educated in the craft. Aside from practicing typing on the good ol' typewriters that we had to own and carry ourselves from the "kosan" to the campus and back, we also had a taste of manual press printing using machines built in the 1920s. Yes, that one in which we assembled the letters piece by piece on a plate by hand, not much different than how Guttenberg did it in the 1450s.
There's information and misinformation - of which the latter is usually the result of sloppy 'journalism' - and there's also disinformation which is purposely designed to mislead and deceptive. And yes, we were trained in both the first and the last one.
Hmm, indeed.
Or until those officials publicly released their statements. But even then there are still chances that it's not true information.
Yup there are 3 terms about it with different meaning.
Space debris? Space forces, do we have one?
Does our S60 capable of shooting orbital target now?
What? Your coffee's farted?
The vision to have one created in near future certainly exists, either under TNI-AU or as the fourth branch of TNI. But what caught my interest the most is that the topic may mean that we already feel the need to be able to detect, track, and destroy space "debris".
Nobody looks down on simbah. Ever! Repent you fool!
Nah they are capable enough to bend the knee of E.T. frkm the far away galaxy
