Airbus has no involvement in R&D, so it should be named N-245

Indonesia's growth is on track and continue to expand, even in 2014 and 2015. The nominal GDP can be misleading, implying that the economy is contracting, while in reality it is still growing at steady pace. This is due to changes in IDR and USD exchange rate. GDP PPP more accurately shows the...

Austria ordered 34 Pandur II for Euro 105 mil also in 2016...our order is worth USD 39 mil....so we probably get 12 units

No thanks, we already accept that Sipadan and Ligitan are yours. It's better for Indonesians to continue develop their country to become wealthier and more powerful. We have much better thing to do than getting involved in a petty war with Malaysia, it's not worth our time. We will make...

Thank's for the suggestion, but the presence of our beacon already strongly establishes Indonesian position in Ambalat. So, Ambalat is already ours, no need to go ICJ. If you want Ambalat, you need to take it from us by force. Ambalat already belongs to Indonesians, no more negotiations Case...

Easy.....don't give them reason to see us as a threat. Our main goal must be to become a much wealthier and more powerful country, anything that derails us from track, such as intense conflicts, should be avoided. Why bother to think too much about someone who does bad things to us. Retaliating...

I have a feeling it is a legacy training material that isn't updated yet, probably from the East Timor era. I don't think a retaliation is a good idea, they will retaliate back...endless tit-for-tat responses will ensue. A temporary halt in military cooperation is enough. I prefer a "positive...

All foreign relation issues with at least three neighbors started from one conflict...Dwikora. A rather unnecessary conflict in my opinion, we became a pawn in one of proxy wars in Cold War era. Essentially a PKI project and there was a significant internal opposition from TNI-AD, but they were...

Ketidakbenaran Berita kabarsatunews.com Jakarta, 18 November 2016, Kominfo - Kementerian Komunikasi dan Informatika menerima surat dari Direktorat Informasi dan Media Kementerian Luar Negeri terkait hasil pemantauan terhadap pemberitaan mengenai aksi masyarakat akhir-akhir ini. Dalam surat...

The fact that both MBT battalions are attached to one Kostrad infantry division each; means that Leopard 2 will have enough infantry support, both from mechanized and motorized units. A few things that we can learn are that there should be a screen of dismounted infantry in front of the tank...

There seem to be debris at the right side of the tank I understand that you are incredibly proud of your tanks.Ironically you have become a bad representative for your own country. Politeness can give so much benefits in the long run.

It's OK, Leopard 2A4 is actually an older technology from early 1990's similar to M1A1 during first Gulf War. It needs additional protection upgrade. Leopard 2RI could potentially survive an ATGM hit on side turret, with its AMAP armor. Instead of buying Ukrainian tanks, it's better to upgrade...

Like what I predicted, it is not a complete destruction. The blow out panel did work and perhaps repairable, although it's still a major damage.

Yes...it's a mishap. Let's pray that everyone will be fine, they have family at home. Jazakallah khairan katsiran for your concern. :)

Gov't Mulls Plan to Buys Submarines from Sweden TEMPO.CO, Jakarta - The Indonesian Defense Ministry and the Swedish Defense Ministry signed a memorandum of understanding on cooperation in the primary weapons defense system sector. Both countries have considered tightening relationship...

If there's intense opposition to make AW101 as the presidential helicopter, then petinggi TNI-AU could still use it for their own VIP transportation :D

After watching dozens of Air Crash Investigation episodes, it's easy to realize that there are hundreds of possible causes of air crashes. One could suddenly pop up and crash happens.

Saya masih baru disini, masih meraba raba, apakah diskusi disini disebutkan yang baik2 saja atau "apa adanya". Tapi saya yakin kalau kita apa adanya, orang bakal respek kok. Meskipun 2A4 jebol, bukan berarti tanknya jelek, tapi batas kemampuannya memang cuma sampai disana. Si red dot, tanknya...

If the ammo rack is penetrated and the blow out panel works, there's still a good chance for the crews to survive, despite some injuries and smoke inhalation. Again, it's a speculation, based on these two pictures. For this tank, there's no secondary fire. Perhaps not penetrated. But...

I said that it's "likely"...so it's speculation and you can dismiss it if you want. Modern Russian ATGM can penetrate more than 600mm of armor, while the side turret armor of Leopard 2 is only half of that. So, it makes sense if penetration did occur. Even if Leopard 2 is penetrated, TNI-AD...
