True, kostrad does distinguish themself differently with other branches. Btw i wonder if they know that their helmet seems a little bit out of place as well. Why we cannot cover these helmet with fabrics made with the same patterns as their uniforms? it would blend more better i believe.

Haha :cheers: its quite a contrast with their uniform tho.

This is one more good reasoning on why we need compatible system. I am not a salesman btw :-) but to date SAMP/T offers us better compatibility.

Why i think the SAMP/T would be one of the best candidate for our forces is based on only two words. Interoperability and commonality. Would be one of the best decision of our mindef if its ever chosen.

From the news it says that TNI AU will get the biggest alocation, but howcome when i read it further TNI AU is the one with the lowest budget at 1.19 trillion rupiah? Did i read it wrong? Ups my mistake the total for TNI AU is 8.19 trillion. Sorry for that.

Im not sure who this alman is, but some mention that he used to be Jane defence contributor as he has some connection on mindef. Not all of his tweets is true though, and its already confirmed that he is biased towards procuring military equipment from EU in particularly french stuff. So yes, we...

Not sure if its gonna be cheaper, we could expect the ship to be out of action for at least one year or more. Just take the fatahillah upgrate for an example, or maybe we can base on the the upcoming bung tomo class upgrade.

New news leak from Alman. It mention on a possible cooperation between one indonesian firm and a turkish company to do an upgrade on some of Indonesian Navy frigate. Most chatter mentions that this possibly will be done on the remaining Ahmad Yani class frigate that we have in order to extend...

Maybe because the media just sniff the news recently? Or it could be another effort from mindef to show off that their actually doing something? Some sort of propaganda of some kind? I mean, so far there's no significant big ticket item purchase has been achieved by the mindef. All talks but no...

Dirgahayu 75th years of Indonesian independence. May our country will always prosper and may God always grant peace to our country.

I think it would not be wise to add different type of missile system to our inventory. It would add more burden to our logistical chain. We can choose to install european system instead. Besides, any kind of cooperation with them would still be mandated by law to have the end product be build...

Its very hard to predict erdogans intention really. His action seems to be rather impulsive. So far his action has made Turkey defence Industry and military suffer, some of their project has been postponed as they are still trying to look for substitute for the american sourced components in...

Agree on this. It would be great if we can install thales or hensoldt/terma based subsystem on turkish frigate hull and equip them with sylver vls incorporating Mica NG / CAMM-ER coupled with Aster 15/30 missiles for anti AAW and also MM40 Block 3/NSM for ASuW.

Well, turkey has some nice Corvette or frigate program. The thing is i dont think it would be wise for us to go for US weapon system since all that we have on our naval system is EU oriented. It would create another logistical burden. Unless they only after the hull and decides to integrate...

There's a recent tweet from Alman revealing on a move from mindef on a further cooperation with Turkey in regards with naval asset procurements. What intrigues me most is the mention that Indonesia is not satisfied with current TOT program. Wonder which one is it. Hopefully its not about iver...

Sounds like it. I believe i've read somewhere that we do already have the simulator for the astros, I'm just unsure if its the whole package or not since they only showed the rockets sim on the picture and not the actual ballistic computer simulator.

This is why its not a good idea to have a mindef thats easily gets offended for such truvial things. Personal issues should not clout his judgement for the sake of military modernization. Hopefully he can clear his mind and make the best possible desicion in regards with our future military...

I dont think thats the case as the contract for 18 MMWT for about $215 mil has already been signed according to the source below. Chestnut was only saying that the Pussenkav is reluctant to accept it due to some deficiencies which he pointed out earlier...

The MOU between SA Paramount and PT. PINDAD Has been signed since nov 2019. So many MOU for 8x8. As of now there's news that indonesia already signed contract for 18-20 pandur II 8x8 for about $80mil...
