It's likely that the ammo storage cooked off and the blow-out panel worked. This is consistent with the fact that the side turret is hit. The thickness of side turret is about 300+ mm, so far below the average penetration of modern ATGM. It makes sense if penetration occurred.

Hmm...Roussen class FAC...It outguns our corvette with 8 Exocet and a RAM launcher

It's better to empty a whole clip on that radar module and exit quickly, can save plenty of friendly lives in the long run

Remind me of very old painting of Dutch steam ship in my grandparent's house

My intention is good. Trust me, there are some FB groups with those kinds of members, with chauvinistic tendency. If the groups have respectful members, then it's OK to post the video. Don't use the video only to brag, in the end, TNI will receive insults. I've seen this too many times.

[ Just a warning, don't overuse this video in other forums and FB groups. Some people will argue what's use of martial art in modern combat....bla bla bla. It's a waste of time arguing over this.In the end, TNI ends up being degraded.

I wonder where's the actual buttons and switches to launch the missiles?

OK...this is misleading. Anyway, we need real air defence frigate than subs.... Primary anti-ship capabilities should be relied upon maritime strike jets. Subs should only be complementary...

I guess 40mm bofors is still deadly against pirates on sampans

As I said, if TNI decides to use SS-3 for squad-level DMR, it's definitely better. Actually, there are multiple 5,56mm DMR out there, like SDM-R, SAM-R, Mk 12 SPR even L86 LSW, which is originally a squad-level LM, but then repurposed as DMR. The way 5.56mm DMR is used, is obviously different...

According to Pindad, SS2V4 has 500mm barrel as opposed to SS2V1 at 460mm. The effective range is also slightly longer at 500-600m, instead of 400m

Longer barrel means that the high pressure gas has more time to propel the projectile inside the barrel. Higher muzzle velocity means slightly longer effective range. Like what I say previously, a DMR-man with should act like common rifleman. If his fellow soldiers are able to engage the OPFOR...

Yes of course...SS-3 is even better with its bigger ammo. I'm just being conservative. Everyone in the squad is firing at effective 5,56mm range at around 200-400 meters, so the DMR guy shouldn't have a problem using 5,56mm too. They can use the same kind of regular ammo, don't have to use the...

Sniper rifles are essential for our armed forces, but it's more important to have proper DMR rifle for TNI-AD and marine at squad level. Yes, a SS-2V4 with its longer barrel is unwieldy, but its presence in each squad can be quite an asset. One DMR-man for each regular squad. It can be used to...

I disagree that most Indonesian muslims are called "silent majority". If they are truly silent, we won't see the relative stability that we have today. Muslims are at the forefront in eradicating terror, both in education and law enforcement areas. I can't remember how many times I hear in...

Disagree....if you want to see Indonesian muslims, look at NU and Muhammadiyah. My family comes from the latter. FPI is like a tiny ant in comparison. In fact, higher education institutions of Muhammadiyah in Papua and NTT provinces are attended mostly by non-muslims. Non-muslims can aspire high...

Things could go wrong during peacekeeping operations. Aidid's militia attacked Pakistani contingent in Somalia, resulting the death of 24 Pakistani soldiers and 57 wounded. The filmmaker could create a fictional conflict. As an example, Hizbullah started to launch rockets once again, causing...

The filming technique looks promising, but too bad it's actually a love story. It'd be great if there's no romance at all and all about combat from start till end.

Muslims are encouraged to be rich, Abdurrahman bin Auf, Utsman bin `Affan, Thalhah bin Ubaydillah and others are known for their wealth through trading. Islam allows private owners to dominate the market and this is the core of capitalism. I don't mind with global khilafah, as long as it's a...

I'm an Indonesian and I'm not aware of any rivalry between Indonesia and Vietnam. Indonesians have neutral to slightly favorable views on Vietnam. This is just an interaction between some Indonesians and a rather unusual Vietnamese. I'm sure the rest of Vietnamese are alright.
