Agrees, being apart of F-35 supply-chain is much more practical for our aero industries right now, but like what it said above, it's not "chest-thumping" enough to matter, unfortunately. Interesting to see from the table above, the requirement (if that is what it is) for MBT is 123 unit, so we...

Worth noting that Thailand wasn't considered as MNNA until the early 2000s. Also, it wasn't RAAF pilot that reached 1000 hours, but rather the RAAF's airframe (A35-001) Well MBDA produced Aster and CAMM too, although realistically it will probably be MICA with either Aster 15 or 30 (most...

Inna lillahi wa inna ilayhi raji'un. Condolences to the fallen and the family they leave behind

Eh itu nggak salah cuman 9,8 juta dollar doang?

This is good! Hopefully, this will kick Pindad's *** into gear. I was fortunate enough to be able to stay for a few days aboard one of the DZP class, and I remember they do this almost once a month, every first Wednesday if I'm not mistaken, they absolutely love Indonesian food. I think that...

Despite the questionable nature of the acquirement program, it's worth to view the "shock acquisition" M109A4 program in different light. Unlike, the M113, M109A4 is actually an increase in the capability for TNI-AD GS How unit, how much of an increase is yet still unquantified. But reading from...

A tad ambitious, but to quote my late engkong "nih ye bat, asal niat lo bulet, insha Allah jadi deh"

The way I see it whether it's a pairing of MFR with SSR or MFR with VLR depends on the initial requirements and the intended role of the vessel. If this new class of frigates is intended for general purpose, then TRS-4D with MSSR is already sufficient, especially operating in busy airspace of...

Eid Mubarak everyone! Minal aidin wal fa idzin. That's not how IFF works. The fact that fighter jets often "buddy spike" each other to facilitate rendezvous, put an end to the claims. If circumstances are like what you describe, then there's no way a country like India would even entertain the...

Back then when the SAKTI vest was first introduced to KOSTRAD and made public, one of the comments from my colleague in the service was "Percuma kalau di perkenalkan di setingkat ini, kalau di secaba nggak pernah di kenalin"

Could be as an observer? IIRC this particular latancab, where the army was trialling the BMS within its BTC, was held few days before Garuda Shield 19.

I love how during the assembly they all appear fully equipped with vest, but in the actual exercise itself they all "bare-chested" lol

I'm inclined to agree with those points. Ah yes, Super Bug, that one escaped me! Yea, SH would be a good alternative for us, it would boost our interoperability with allied players in the region as well. Would be good if we buy it in bulk with other Boeing products (Not sure about KC-46 though)...

It really does tick me off! How does the army brass looking at it thought "yeah black will go better in our operating environment", damn these parade mentality! There was a report by Angkasa circa 2012/2013 to further acquire 80 Marder, turned out the funds "di sulap" for this soapbox, smh...

I agree. For frigate, the size of Iver should at least carry the A50 version of SYLVER Mica isn't too bad if it's properly complemented with other Mid-range missile systems. MICA's sensor is quite capable, the NG variant will have AESA for the RF version it just short-legged. I do still prefer...

I dont know which Aus white paper you reading, the one that i read is specifically mentioned the importance on maintaining the good relationship with Indonesia, to limit Chinese influence in the region. The solution is quite obvious, we side with the one that didn't intentionally breach our...

So much this. Should say it louder for the people in the back.

Do you know why that is the case? Is it more because of external factors? I mean Huidfelts and its STANFLEX concept sounds good on paper, don't know why not many navies find it appealing I do too finds the Damen's Omega class offering much more appealing, albeit for more shallow reason of...

Maersk is OMT (Iver Huidfeldt builder) parent company, as the FFI competition right now I assume is between OMT, Damen, and Naval Group

I hope there's intention to upgrade the F-16C/D variant to Viper standard in the future.
