Makes me wonder how much does it cost to get or upgrade to F16V? I know its hard to calculate with all those training/munition/logistics etc, but lets take a look at view of the latest F16V block 70 purchase by others. Here is what I found from mbah google: (disclaimer* numbers of purchase/price...
This is some clues from CNN we could look into;
"kita harus mempunyai pesawat tempur F-16 blok c 72 ini adalah pesawat tempur termutakhir sebelum kita mendapat F-35"
This statement indicate that we have to have F-16 block 70/72 with AESA radar as stepping stone. So I guess the Journalist...
P-8 Poseidon MPA future competitor from Europe? At least by the time it comes out we would have alternative if we havent got one already.

Personally? Regardless the budget? I will go to Super Eagle hands down
Reality? Idk man, too many variables to count into such as are we going to continue the KFX? Are we really getting the CAATSA waiver?
If KFX is going to continue then Hornet isnt a good choice. If we still proceed with SU-35...
Well the history about ethnic Chinese repression is not something to be proud of. Its a complex matter just like what US has with their black citizen. After 1998 things are getting better from the Govt part and the people itself, but its an on going process.

My version
Indonesia: "minta F-35"
US: "Ga boleh"
US: "bolehnya ini" *nawarin F-16V*
Indonesia: "bapaknya ga mau"
US: "ywdah F-15EX atau F/A-18 Block III"
Indonesia: "budgetnya ga cukup"
US: "Ok, yg bekas aja ya tapi di upgrade"
Indonesia: "ga boleh beli bekas sama pakde"
US...
Nope, kyknya macam Falcon star (rangka+avionic) secara TS 2701/02 sama TS 3001/02 yg paling tuir. Seperti yg @Fl0gger bilang Belarus itu ahli avionic.

AFAIK only 4 officially has been getting upgrade in Bellarus. 2 SU-27 (TS 2701-TS 2702) and 2 SU-30 (TS 3001-TS 3002).
The detail of the upgrade/MLU is still classified but surely include avionics, EW suite/Jammer pod and there are rumours about it also getting the same Radar as SU-35.
Well at least they do it right this time by offering F15 to counter SU35 sanction if this is true. Whether we take it or not thats a different story. Anyway what has been missing from this Prabowo terms so far is the grand plan to differ the rail from MEF. Or perhaps he hasnt open it up yet...
Both side killed plenty of people. Communist Party have been trying to coupe more than 2 times in the course of history if Im not mistaken. My grandmother's big brother who was the Village head/ "camat" (reporting to mayor) got killed along with 8+ more village head, they line them up and shoot...
Im more interested in the "littoral requirement", same as coastal submarine spec? Max 1k tonage with 50M? hmm....interesting 8-)
Good to hear tho it would be nicer if it translate into actual action. As long as America first policy diplomacy is still in effect its hard to predict the rebound of...
Setuju sm yg diblng pak kasad, sdm-nya harus ditingkatkan di penerbad. Sebelum nambah yg canggih di benahi sarpras/harwat budget, dan yg paling penting sdm baik penerbang/teknisi. Salut buat pak jendral yg bisa terbuka di publik dgn statement beliau :enjoy:
Miris kalo liat foto-foto ini. Inget jaman GAM dulu, di Jakarta ga ada berita tp babe gue yg suka kesana ngasih lihat foto2 kyk gini, malah ada mobil angus di pinggir jalan macam film perang. Feels like traveling back in time. I read somewhere about one of the way to defeat a guerilla warfare is...
22 Oktober 17.00 - Teleponan apa ketemu tuh sama M.Ahmad Zaki (Menhan Mesir)? kok ya pas waktunya abis ketemu Prabowo? Minta jatah/nikung pesenan Rafale Mesir? Secara mesir mungkin agak frustasi ga di kasih ijin mamarika beli Rudal buat Rafale mereka? Hmm....interesting :close_tema:
Thats what I said. Either EF & F16 purchase or Rafale only. What I think the big obstacel is the KFX program, this program will take def budget alot (cash wise) if we decided to go thru thus reducing the overall harwat/sarpras fund . Not to mention the future DP and cicilan for the new fighter...
The original plan was (Pak Yuyu era):
Pontianak : Hawk (all of them)
Madiun : F16, T-50, SU35
Makassar : Sukhoi
Pekanbaru : F16
Kupang : F16V (1 ska)
Biak : TBA (most likely F16 from madiun will move here while the new F16V-1 SKA will replace it)
Replacing SU35 with EF...
You both are right. But since when our TNI making commonality as their priority? It only came this last couple of year or decade at the most. Years and years of having difficulty to maintain its readyness create budaya utk nerimo (dlm kesatuan) trus cri pendanaan off budget, Sounds familiar? Im...
