What navies already use A26? AFAIK, none, yet. I think it's status is similar to Amur-Class. Do you think TNI-AL wants to be the launch customer of any new submarine type? It's very risky you know.

There is one important thing Thai submarines don't have: experienced crews.

There are city streets in Indonesia named after him. A top ranking university named after him. A shopping mall, hotels, restaurants, and other commercial brand names named after him. His name is well versed in school history books. Of course, somebody's hero is ALWAYS somebody else's villain...

I've met those kind of people too. They are a bunch of ignorant SOBs and many of them don't deserve to be in any intellectual discussion. I usually don't bother putting myself in a defensive position. ( ibarat bulu tangkis kalo di smash terus pasti kita kebobolan). I put myself in offensive...

Good...good. There is no reason this aircraft can't get certification. After all, PTDI has produced and delivered many aircrafts. Even FAA and European certificate shouldn't be problem. This is a simple and rugged aircraft. Jadi buat saya sertifikasi bukan masalah, yang masalah adalah...

300 jam terbang itu untuk masing2 dua prototip terbang atau keseluruhan?

How many N-219 prototypes does PTDI have to make?

HIP HIP HORRAAAAYY...!!! Congratulations PTDI.

Maybe he can't even differentiate between China and Chile. Both have 'chi' on it's name. :sarcastic:

"The maiden flight of an aircraft is the first occasion on which an aircraft leaves the ground under its own power." Waaah udah terbang !! Congrats ya PTDI !! Gitu doooonk. Sayang maiden flightnya low profile tapi gak apalah. Action speaks louder than words. Sekali lagi Selamat buat PTDI.

Is this in the cockpit? Coz if it is, then I think it's rarest cockpit photo in the world where a renowned world leader took his VIP seat in a C-130 cockpit while enjoying his drink. I think the President enjoyed this seat more than the Presidential aircraft seat because he can watch the...

An old article from Flight International Magazine dated 3 September 1983 that contains interesting yet little known (to some of us) itsy-bitsy facts about CN-235. Here are some of the highlights: - There were 5 new competitors at that time. ( 3 of them have stopped production ). - Design aim...

Everyone's worrying about China influence, but no one's worrying about Arab influence. So sad. I guess nobody is watching the news about our current national security problem that is encroaching our youngsters and even people in the villages. Densus 88 is not a reaction towards China isn't it?

Agree with pr1v4t33r. PAL should exercise it's taunting strategy to the public of Gabon and Guinea as well. Let's see what the local officials will say about PAL's claim. I must say I really like CN235's design. Designed in the 80's but it's still looks contemporary. And handsome too. ATR on...

If only those massive infrastructure projects were done looong, long time ago, decades ago, under previous presidents ( whoever that was ) the current infrastructure budget can now be allocate to defence budget.

Bagus kanonnya. Sayang kita blom bisa bikin ya. Padahal kebutuhannya KCR-40 banyahk. Belum kapal2x kelas lain. Blom juga kapal2x BAKAMLA dan KKP ( kalo boleh ). Lumayan kan produksinya. Nice cannon. Suits well to equip our 40 meters during peace time just to engage piracy, terrorism, illegal...

RIP to the victims. Tapi ini heli masih relatif baru jadi agak susah untuk nuding pesawat lama. Flying a copter in mountainous area is dangerous not only because of the terrain but also the dynamic wind conditions. I remember Osama bin Laden's walls brought down a US Black Hawk in Pakistan. Who...

This is more than just physical damage. This is an embarrassment to the USN. With all those 21st century, state-of-art, hi-tech radars and sensors, it was pounded by a huuuge, heavy, low-tech, non-stealth cargo ship. Naaah... gitu dong. Keluarin berita yang langsung teken kontrak. Nggak pake...

Ohh... jadi ceritanya di selametin coast guard toh. Jadi vukan di tangkep. Ya bagus lah. So he was rescued by the coast guard. That's good.

Aaaww... please don't get my emoticon get into you. I'm not angry. I'm just sayin', you know. I'm sure Rafale could make maintenance cost down as you suggested. But the reason for not choosing it is also based on our bad experience in the past an EU country. FC-31 is indeed a bargain for a...
