Is it fair to assume the state of affair in stagnant though? Given the public nature of the problem, won't the troubleshooters at Naval Group be on the case pronto? I wonder if India has the same complaint with their Scorpene lol if you guys follow any of the airspace review digital platform, I...

I won't hold my breath tbh. The waiver could only mean that the blanket ban is lifted, whilst it's still going to be assessed on a case-by-case basis. I mean, who knows? For all we know, the waiver only going to be applied for the BMP-3s and not for the Su-35 Haha, unpleasant experience, but an...

Nah dude, I already got enough tukang bakso with HT radio hanging around my place already

Hard agree on that one. To be honest, other than for public perceptions, I never understood the logic why we still maintained the absent of formal diplomatic relation with Israel. How can we claim to mediate peace between the two parties, if we even refused to acknowledge one of them? It just...

Ah I see. So another acquisition project courtesy of THAT group within the navy? I assume it's the same group that forced those FPB with the Chinese based SSM.

Indeed. Although to be fair, looking from the "clipped" fins, the second picture does appear to be a "C" variant AMRAAM, probably a C5. Bear in mind that the report cites Leonardo only as an example, not preference. The fact that the two main requirements are: -Modular turrets between 105 - 120...

Ah, my bad it seems we're misunderstanding each other, I was talking about the similarity of early F-16 and the Austrian's Typhoon. I was referring to F-16 on my previous post. As for the Typhoon, I can bet the integration would at least up to the C5 standard for AMRAAM, not sure about C7.

Why on earth we would be interested in BMP-1!? BMP-2 currently filling the role as make-shift SPAAG for korps marinir, I doubt it is going to be retained once an actual SPAAG is selected. As for MRAP we already got a good base on the proven platform of Thales Bushmaster/Sanca, don't see why we...

The Blk 15 OCU can't, only AIM-120A . Only after the MLU with an updated software tape & FCR it gained the capability for more advanced AAM, such as the C7

Thanks, I stand corrected then. So it seems that it's a similar case with the F-16 Blk 15 OCU, where it has provisions to fire the old version of AMRAAM it just that it doesn't come as standard.

Would be required to be upgraded to Tranche 2, it is currently a Tranche 1 build.

My best bet is they will lean on the point that the refurbishment and upgrades of those jets will be done by DI? (If there rumour were true anyway)

ALIS is pretty broken atm, most still rely on GD's GTIMS. Beside it's due to be replaced by ODIN in 2022. AFAIK, that's not how it works. It's smiliar with Tesla's car cloud software that provide over-the-air updaets, remote diagnostics, and support that connects directly to Tesla's service...

I agree, tapi tenang, there's an old adage in formil "semua akan indah pada waktunya" wkwkwkw. We need to do this right, step-by-step. and at a pace, we've previously learned the hard way in the '60s if we rushed these kinds of things. Beberapa proyek besar Australia juga lagi jalan di tempat...

I'm a bit caught in two minds on this. On one hand, the birds from the 309th AMARG will have low-hours on their airframe, on the other hand, I feel the RNoAF F-16's is more capable. as unlike our "block 52ID" falcons, the RNoAF block 20 MLUs is probably a lot closer to USAF's block 50 (minus the...

Yeah, make sense. At least, now with NLAW and Javelin, there's an effort made to integrate more sophisticated anti-materiel weapon

SS2-M or just the normal SS2-V1 for the marines?

Maaaan, I wish we just standardized our anti-materiel weapons. I'm surprised Pindad haven't come up with anything in this regard. Would love to see light AT role equipped with disposable launchers (AT-4, C-90) incorporated into our rifle squad with the heavier stuff like CG/PF-98 in the weapon...
