If a soldier is loyal, takes initiative, a natural leader, and can follow orders faithfully and diligently then why should I care whether they give it up the *** or takes it up the ***? What they do in the bedroom is really none of my (or anyone else's for that matter) business.

Is the reason he is adamant about getting F-35's is because of wanting to achieve technological parity with others in the region? Or is it because he is trying to secure publicity for yet another presidential run in 2024? Because if it's the former, there a lot of other things that needs to be...

Without thinking of the issues surrounding a capability leap without the necessary experience.

An IADS doesn't just include GBAD and GCI assets, but rather those 2 in conjunction with CAP aircraft, AWACS, EW aircraft/ground assets, A2AR Tankers, Satellites, Naval AAW, Naval EW, and a plethora of other factors. Furthermore if you have a strong EW capability in the form of either...

Theoretically the S-300s can engage something as small and slow-moving as a Harpy loitering drone. It was just a matter of whether the cost-to-benefit of using one against something like that would be worth the launch. (Which at this point, it's an obvious yes since Armenia just lost a TEL)...

@Nike @Ravager @Kansel Who would win guys? The most advanced MRAD/LRAD asset you have in your inventory? Or A flying lawnmower that explodes? Again, the TNI should learn from the current Nagorno-Karabakh conflict. Not everyday in the 21st century can you see 2 peer adversaries go to war...

My one hope (that would probably not be realized) is that the TNI would further empower the NCO corps. Right now we're experiencing the same problems that the Russian military had from the 1990's-to the late 2000's, in that we have too many officers doing jobs that is better suited for an NCO...

They're better off being reorganized to the Brigade Combat Team structure. Even the Filipinos found that having everything made BCT's with organic air elements makes your troops a lot more deployable and manageable than what we have now.

All I heard for PUSPENERBAD's expansion under MEF was 2 full Apache attack helicopter squadrons and 2 heavy lift squadrons.

EOTech 552 on the left, Aimpoint CompM2 on the right. Also, the plate carrier of the guy on the left is hanging too low. It's not going to protect his vitals.

Which is mostly because Pindad is adamant about going into every sector of ground defense manufacturing instead of focusing on one aspect of it. If the government is hell bent on having SOE dominance in indigenous defense manufacturing, the least they can do is divide Pindad into several...

And loitering munitions.

If all that you want to do are hit and run missions on cargo ships in the strait it'll be a lot cheaper to just rely on shore and air launched NSM's. And at least with that it's already a proven design and tactic instead of something that is purely theoretical.

Except when I complain about boomers I specifically complain about those in the relevant defense positions? This whole tangent of bitching about ALL millennials and zoomers irks of an inferiority complex. It's fine if you want to do it on Facebook or Twitter but when we're talking about...

The KC-46 won because Boeing offered a fixed priced contract for the Pegasus, essentially low-balling Airbus.

How does complaining about the behavior of millennials and gen z correlate to defense exactly?

They should really just buy the CEASAR. There's ZERO point getting something different when it comes to something like an SPG.

Because I asked the relevant people at DISLITBANG? Well yeah, because the East often times just sells anyone not well within their orbit/CSTO sub-standard export variants.
