Multiple other reasons. Several failed ops in the recent past, causing pressure to have a success Papua economic downturn due to transition time of the Freeport mine from open pit to shaft. I do not know how much percent of total Papua economy Freeport is, but its large. 2019 Papua province...

I wish we actually did it like that. 1 chassis, multiple loadouts. Might make it harder ti design but would really make the chassis marketable and simplify maintenance somewhat. Imagine using the medium tank chassis we have for APC, mortar carrier, IFV, mobile ambulance, and other configuration.

Hmm... not sure to post this question on the econ forum or this one, but will post here since its more active. Saw some indo language articles that the Czechs will build a defence industry factory in batujajar, bandung. Is that legitimate news or just rumours?

I dislike Tirto as well (Pretend to be "Indonesian" while actually just western liberal) but why call it european fifth column? Whats column 1 to 4?

Agreed, glad that PT PAL didn't lower its price further too. From the signs it looks like the local company push the price so low they couldn't design the ship according to the requirements of the Navy! More project & experience for PAL the better. Also hope that PT PAL receive more domestic...

Huh, and I though our procurement tenders were sloppy... what were the pinoys thinking making the requirements so loose?

Agree with this. Africa, south asia, and maybe oceania should be our target. Only 7 tons of coal a year? That doesn't make sense. Entire reason we grew so fast and manage to really push down our government debt was because of the commodities boom. China caused that. Yes raw materials and...

Yup. Timor Leste is in a somewhat awkward position. First of all, both the population and the leadership are united in NOT wanting to be Indonesian again*. Despite that, most economic activity that isn't related to NGOs and foreign aid (which is significant portion admittedly) is with...

So let me get this straight, the gov plans to build six mrt lines simultaneously??? Not just the extention of the current line, but also... 6?? Like, weren't there only 3 on the drawing board? And, its mrt not krl right? Can someine clarify this? Good god. Thats amazing and scary at the same...

Damn, looking good! I thought the railways consortium was only operating in africa.

The opening of the speech when he greeted and congratulated the others in attendance (Dino Patti Djalal & Retno Marsudi) felt genuine. His speech was on a script (he didn't try to hide it, he was holding a piece of paper) and parts of it was reading. That said, there were a lot of points he had...

Oh, and in number 5 should be "intensifying defence diplomacy with sending our servicrmen and officers to exchanges across the globe"

Sorry mate, I was in attendance, so I saw the video directly. Might take a week or more to see the video up on youtube

Attending the CIFP. Prabowo sent a video speech. (In english) Interesting points: He underlined that Indonesian defence policy is a defensive policy Although he would strive to defend Indonesian interests across the globe, Indonesian territorial integrity is prioritized Modernization of...

Quick calculator crunch of the numbers in the infographic: Budget increase from 2019 to 2020: Army: 24% Navy: 27% Airforce: 13% Seems like business as usual. Airforce increase smaller maybe as a snub to TNI Commander who is ex airforce marshal? Either way, Tirto is just using data and...

Yup, you are both right. Did some digging. That SPBU is supplied solely by Pertamina, furthermore the SPBU design, equipment, and management/logistics all from pertamina. Timor Gap only provides workforce, land, permits & construction. Indonesia is moving up in the world. We like British...

How are they supported by pertamina?

LOL By the time the WTO rules one way or another it'll be too late. As noted in the article (unrelated matter): https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.marketplace.org/2019/10/02/wto-rules-eu-gave-illegal-subsidies-airbus/amp/ A WTO dispute takes on average 3 years to conclude. By then the smelters...
