Literally just replace all tracked IFV's with Kaplan variants and you'd see more benefits than keeping the legacy platofrms. Support work contract for the Sniper pods we have/are getting.

That and it'd be a number of years until the Boomerang is ready for export anyways.

T They're getting rid of them unfortunately, the cannons don't even have ammo IIRC.

No because it says otherwise on the contract details that it's for AMRAAM testing kits.

None, it says so on the contract. It's only for AMRAAM testing equipment.

Makes sense, the most numerous tactical truck they have is the Tatra. Hopefully they get rid of all the other trucks they have and replace them fully with the Tatra models.

I mean, it felt like any other AR platform. There isn't really anything innovative about them. Their strong points are mostly due to the fact that their products are better made due to an increase usage of automation in the production process compared to Pindad. No, DI being unreliable compared...

well, he's entitled to those opinions. The best we could do is just win the hearts and minds campaign on the ground rather than start a pointless social media blackout. It's better to just win the attention of those actually affected than those of outside observers.

Like I said, so far there's no amphibious capable MRAP available that is locally made, hence why they were looking abroad. If you can get Protolab or KAMAZ to agree to local production then whatever, but for the most part the military isn't going to wait for local companies to design, test, and...

IIRC they didn't take it nor were they looking for locally made vehicles due to wanting the MRAP having amphibious capability. That narrows it down to either the Protolab MiSu or the Russian Typhoon-K.

Beats me, probably someone here might know.

This reminded me, awhile ago whilst I was still in the industry the Marines were planning on looking around for an MRAP for the MEF IV phase. The Finnish military just recently accepted the Protolab MiSu MRAP to hopefully replace their Sisu Pasi APC's. Good thing about them is that not only...

I'd take Leonardo from that list, MTU and GE already have facilities here. And if you're wondering why Leonardo... https://www.leonardodrs.com/products-and-services/trophy-active-protection-system-aps/

I'm just happy Pindad doesn't have the monopoly anymore. In fact if you invite more of them to build factories here you'd see prices go down across the board. It's not like it's a bad thing, more factories = more jobs. The only reason the government held on to the state monopoly for the longest...

They should really just look into standardizing all tactical trucks to the Tatra models. For the most part they're reliable as hell and aren't as expensive as say MAN or Oshkosh trucks and with CSG looking to build a factory here you can arguably just invite Tatra to make them here. There's...

The problem was the the Navy and the Army couldn't decide on who to operate it so in the end it wasn't pursued. Just stick with infantry AT and electronic subsystems. MBDA and THALES are the preferential bidders on any AShM and SAM contracts.

Yep.

You know how expensive that would be? Better to just buy a new P-8. They should really just give up with the RBS and the Gripen. The only front SAAB is going to win is the AT weapons department and C4I department.

Based on my time working with them, I don't think we should give them any heavy weapons to be honest. Theres a reason why they were never given any more cannon based assets anymore. The idea of having Komcad units work in hand with them is to supplement them with heavier assets thats not under...

The only military assets involved in COIN/Counter-terrorism within state boundaries should really just be the Air Force and Army aviation, things that the POLRI lacks/should not have to prevent the blurring of roles. The POLRI can do the brunt of the ground work. If they do go ahead with a...
