    Did you guys read the Eurofighter article? There's no sources, no links, and the websites looks like clickbait. I'd take this news with a rock of salt if I were you.

    On the plus side, at least the EF's can use AIM-9's and AMRAAMS.

    Calling it, if some military brass is adamant about keeping anything else other than a Maung for a personal work vehicle they're involved in some no-no activities. If you spend enough time working at any military installation, you'd see that the different models of trucks from different...

    In other news, water is wet. tbh, I support Prabowo's decision to have Pindad construct the Maung and have it as a large bulk order. If anything Pindad should focus more on tactical trucks instead of heavier vehicles. Diversifying so much into so many different type of vehicles have pretty much...

    "Kontrak-kontra Alutsista, kontrak senjata di Kemenhan senilai 3,4 miliar dolar. Dia (Prabowo) bilang ke saya, saya tidak mau terlibat korupsi, ini kontrak korup," ujar Hasim di Jakarta, Jumat (17/7/2020). If the quote is accurate, it would most likely be small arms, light vehicles, support...

    If the projected ordnance load is closer to the Strike Eagle's 23,000lbs load, then by all means continue the program. If not, you're better off just buying into the EX and swapping the F-16's to F-35's.

    My main gripe with the KFX program is the fact that people are willing to sacrifice a stable workhorse in our inventory for an unproven design with limited advantage all for the sake of national prestige and egotism.

    I don't think an A50 can fit on a Martadinata.

    That's the point, with CAMM you can have a common missile for Land and Sea duties. And if we do end up buying the F-35, having the ASRAAM for it would allow for a missile that shares common components with each other, thus greatly reducing cost. Luckily enough the brass has the foresight to...

    C CAMM is just hands down better than MICA.

    Personally I wouldn't touch Ukrainian stuff with a 10-foot barge pole.

    Yeah, but what the US classes as Corvettes significantly outguns the Parchim/Diponogoro/Fatahilla-Class. One Independence/Freedom-Class is larger and better equipped than anything we have.

    Indra won the tender. The company I worked for was part of the bidding.

    Because it's scary for the government to rely on private enterprises to do that job.

    @Nike @striver44 @Gen3115 @Kansel How much you guys wanna bet that the whole Rafale deal has less to do with 'diversification' and more to do with Thales and MBDA sneaking Euros in Croissants at a meet and greet?

    You can conduct SEAD/DEAD on enemy ships as well. A HARM missile would still lock on to a Navy ship's radar just as it would if it were a GBAD.

    Speaking of which, here's a nice video sent @Gen3115 showcasing a Hornet in a WVR with a Flanker. Notice how the supposed 'Super Maneuverable' Flanker was stretched thin by an arguably outdated fighter.
