I'm not. Really just go to Monas and look for yourself. It's not hard to put 2 and 2 together. In a perfect world sure, but we both know that no law in this country is absolute. The law changes to suit the individual, not the other way around. The Air Force (and largely the majority of our...

Slash the Typhoons and it'll be a good setup.

To be fair, we're pretty much already well within the US sphere, just not publicly. Anybody that genuinely thinks we're not is in denial at this point. What do they think the HUGE new annex over at the US embassy is for? Processing visas?

This is an opinion piece so don't take this as fact. https://asia.nikkei.com/Opinion/Indonesia-needs-to-upgrade-US-alliance-to-fend-off-Chinese-aggression?fbclid=IwAR2XdSGHO-VZm7IGm5F8gpKBH1CI2gMSGkLSMq7ChGBizuov8SYqQVAuqug "The Natuna Sea, which surrounds a chain of Indonesian islands off...

We start our efforts by retracing the step of countries that have done so successfully. Not by skipping every step beforehand.

You shouldn't say things like that without proof, the smallest rumors can be blown out of proportion within the context of Indonesian defense procurement. My previous point exactly.

That's a very dangerous assumption to make, but I'm not going to get into it since it'll be a very long conversation. To summarize, the reality is that we: 1. Have junior IP rights (meaning that the ROK can simply veto anything we do with it if they don't want us to do it). 2. No resell...

I'd rather trust the people from Wyoming than anyone from California.

So did Hillary lmao. Also, CAATSA is a congressional act. It's not as easy to repeal it as most people think. It's actually much fairer than most people think. It's setup like that so people with more people won't be able to impose their values on states with smaller populations through sheer...

They don't really trust them more so they're pretty much forced to as a result of Erdogan's crusade in Syria and him trying to play superpower.

I just hope everyone standardizes ALL their infantry equipment so we can stop with everyone looking like an airsofter. At the very least just have guidelines on what color the vests/pouches/backpacks should be and how the uniform cut are supposed to look.

Willing to bet that there's actually a restarted bidding process behind-closed-doors now that the Su-35 is pretty much dead in the water.

I never claimed it was MY take.

I can believe it. Here is a more in depth take about the Euro Triangles. A survey of AirPower developments to inform the TNI AU’s proposed aquistion of a new fighter type 1. In theory, Australia, Singapore and Indonesia need to work together it to stand a chance against the new hegemonic...

Going back into the the EF after consulting people who are more informed about them, personally I wouldn't mind the AF buying Euro Triangles. Rather I strongly advise that they buy new air frames instead of procuring the problematic Austrian Tranche 1's. For the most part it is too expensive for...

I trust the Turks more than the Ukrainians tbh. I genuinely hope so; But you, me, and a lot of other people in this thread knows how political the Army is compared to the other branches. I wouldn't be surprised if he either didn't consult the KASAU, or he did but didn't go into detail about it...

Personally I think you're giving him way too much credit. He obviously knows his stuff when it comes to ground related matters, but I don't think he (like a majority of current and former Army generals) knows much about Air related matters.

If you ever spent a significant amount of time around Pindad firearms, you'd know they are inherently terribly made copies. The problem with Pindad is QC. The soldiers I worked with with were pretty glad that the guns I was installing on the Leopards were American made 240's instead of Pindad...

Pretty sure he's talking out of his *** and is misconstruing the Su-35 with the Typhoons.

There's no big meaning behind it, I'm just making fun of the fact that Pindad quality is questionable at best.
