    This is great!! I hope police forces have enough armored vehicle for papua. Last time I saw the "kontak senjata" on youtube our policeman using a pick up truck. I dont know much about APC, but what you guys think best to have for our police for papua condition? Is komodo enough to do the job? or...

    Looks like its a batch II with more horse power engine. Tho it might not be my favorite type but the progressing fix & upgrade from previous batch deserve thumbs up :enjoy:. Not to mention at first PT.PAL and Krakatau Steel doing R&D to make marine grade steel for this project which was awesome...

    Sad news, just as I thought no continuation. We fight for ToT deal but our own r&d got left behind, then say after tot we can make our own submarine. I see that statement as false and misleading. Transfer of Technology (ToT) is mostly "kerjaan mekanik" so dont expect too much from it. Making own...

    This is what Krakatau Steel desperatly needed. Being protected for a while really hurting their lack in developing efficiency and efectiveness. In some cases China Industry is not just leaning towards cheap labor, their efficiency in production using high tech modul can really make them compete...

    With that Bill and previous statement from President I dont think the goal is to pull out from the project, unless offcourse they kick us out which is highly unlikely. Add that with the last payment we made in the project which politically I think seal the deal of us not going out from it. All...

    IFX project is a good project for us, no doubt. Its just too expensive for us at this time. I just dont want to see what had happened to us with PT.DI before. After Nurtanio got mouthballed by IMF they literally have to start from scratch due to their SDM/engineers moving out to boeing, airbus...

    Korean maybe the closest example for us compare to Jap/French/UK. Before their democracy arise the prior dictator (if I might say) have build a solid ground by literally giving red carpet to local Private company like samsung, daewoo, LG, etc. We take different approach by building BUMN, Im not...

    China doesnt have democracy, we do and democracy is the most un-efficient form of govt. China rulling party hasnt change much and pretty much the same thus their program can have continuation and with represive/iron hand it become more effective. Its pretty much like Orde Baru era. Now let me...

    I am more worry about the continuation. Once they've learned whatever they got from IFX project then what? Engineer as of other science discipline need on hand/on the job practice to apply what they have learned. In this case some kind of project needed for them to work with. Now question is do...

    True, we have more leverage/bargaining chips. In this era where we purchased LST/LPD like there is no tomorow reflecting the support of local Industry and self sustained. Question is why it seems like we are trying to back down from the project which can support our own fighter X? Why negotiate...

    Agree 100%!! Logical ways (not necessarily politicaly correct) is to delay the SU purchased and proceed with Viper. Perhaps wait and see how situation develop. I remembered they have agreed on building SU maintenance facility, but I am skeptical that it would be materialize. Meanwhile we can go...

    I couldnt agree more. Its nice to see our Coast Guard having and hopefully continue to have more ships to patrol. So in a future around EEZ would be civil vs civil. I recomment coast guard ships using thick steel to be ready for "boom-boom car" battle :D

    I am not sure about us making our own fighter, even the smaller version. Unless we can push economic growth above 7%+ in the next couple of years I dont see ourselves being able to afford it financially. N219 is one good example, as now PT.DI having problem rising money for the production line...

    Politics, converting SU35 to F16V can surely bring ammo to domestic opposition which can create a mess on this politics "cooling down" after election period. And I believe we all know how the perception going towards usa inside our own population and inside own military faction. Some military...
