Done a quick search for their website, they (Theon) are a Greek company producing Optronics like thermal sight, night vision and illuminator (?) for military use. So, it seems like they are cooperating with Pindad to open an Optronics workshop in Pindad's Bandung facility? i assume that Pindad...

They could only be used on the coastal area and cities mostly, beyond that are jungles and mountains that only infantry can cross (where much of the later fighting took place). Besides, in the earliest phase we need to make the invasion as obscure as possible so that it'll look like...

Smol plane, but somehow crucial to our success in eliminating the last meaningful resistance of what left from Fretilin's regulars, without the Broncos perhaps the operation would drag on longer and takes more unnecessary casualties. We were in no good posture during that time, almost all the...

Pardon me for the poorly placed paragraph, my computer lagged and i accidentally posted it in the wrong place, and now i accidentally deleted it. T-50 (or the future FA-50??) is best suited as the de-facto successor of the Hawks, same class of trainer-light fighter and could perform CAS to a...

I think anything of the time before the so-called "4.5th gen" is pretty much out of the option and every choice we currently or will make, is aimed to propel us into the so-called "5th gen" or even beyond. Besides, Tomcats are already out of business with only some countries like Iran still...

Although i really liked F-15 X, it did made more sense to have Super Hornets as a part of our fleets, as a Naval Fighter, they are suitable for the Maritime/Archipelagic characteristics of Indonesian geography and they have many variants/loadout for various roles including the Growlers...

Honestly, we're better off lobbying for long-term acquisition for more Apaches or even possibly Chinooks rather than the A-10, as even US' high ranking officers hated them, they are so against CAS subsonic aircraft like the Warthog as they thought it is "obsolete" and very vulnerable to enemy's...

Also some fun fact : Indonesia was among the nations that requested to buy the A-10 Thunderbolt to the US but was declined. So what's the highlight of this visit? i personally anticipated more of these infantry equipment stuffs, but apparently the AA gun and the ground radar are their main...

Better to focus on the corvettes and frigates' replacement program so that the Navy will have the majority of surface combatant ships being Sigma-class derivatives, and the rest will be filled with a good mix of Dutch, Korean and local Indonesian designs, i think it will be an "ideal" structure...

Maybe, KRI Multatuli do need a replacement in the future, as we currently uses the LPDs as a command ship placeholder.

Saya merasa tidak begitu perlu untuk buat platform 6x6 yang sama sekali baru, karena lebih boros dan juga bukan investasi yang "strategis" dalam hal kita sudah punya Anoa berikut tim riset pengembangannya dan lini produksinya, akan merepotkan apabila harus mengakomodasi lini 6x6 model baru...

Haruskah Anoa diupgrade baik dalam segi armor-pertahanan ataupun persenjataanya? mungkin minimal dipasang RCWS? mungkin paling gak pakai RCWS yang masih mirip-mirip punya Komodo, terutama Cockerill CPWS Gen 2? Kayak gini tapi di Anoa : Terus gimana perkembangannya ini RPG-defeater?

It seems like we got a lot of local shipyards and shipbuilding companies isn't it? feels like we sometimes sign contracts for support vessels like these to some, yeah small shady shipyards, just like a multi-billion company that's not only got their IT manpower solely on professional IT service...

I see, perhaps we should wait more patiently at least until the first flying prototype rolls out (in 2021?). But, what's the matter with the payment/monetary contribution to the project really? it's quite a long timeframe for 2 Billion USD~ stake for the program, and it's not like the defense...

Probably it's a post-acquisition addition, we've done the same with REM and GNR with various sensors, so it probably also be the case with TOM-class. (btw the second photo looks infinitely cooler than the usual shots of TOM, looks like a brand new European Frigate).

Btw i stumbled upon this : Rheinmetall's Mission Maker UGV. Looks neat, and i can see many ways of it being utilized, definitely on my wishlist, and it will be a plus point if it's amphibious, could really help in crossing small rivers and swamps. IF TNI is that forward-looking and...

**cough..cough....Sea Ceptor...cough...cough**

Should we upgrade these boys? especially regarding the VLS and the sensors?

Mr. @Indos how is it going with the KFX/IFX project? what's the projected spec for the C109 model? what's the capability? is it will be, to quote "4.75th gen" fighter aircraft only? or there's a chance that Indonesia-South Korea cooperation in this project will continue to the point that the...
