Yg mana kaum radikal? Yang jadi bunglon tiba2 jadi pembela merah putih padahal mau hancurin negara sendiri dengan kedok agama?
Banser bukan untuk membungkam papuan yg dihina sebagai monyet oleh sesama bangsanya sendiri. Tapi buat ngehajar bangsat2 calon pemberontak seperti tahun 60an dan sekarang di Timteng.

Sorry for words guys but I feel so sad and upset how oknum2 and ormas bangsat treating our papuan brothers.

Rada kudet euy. Ceritanya gimana si?

AH-64 in Kartika Yudha exercise

and this

Oh man I love Apache since the first time it went on production. It was a day dreaming kinda thing back then for us to have this baby in our arsenal systems. But we do now. I hope there will always be Apache where we station our leopard as air support. And I also wish we can maximize the data link interconectivity Apache has with other military assets such as F16, etc. The plan/rumour to acquire more Apache has surfaced a while back, by having more we can stationed some of them near leopard such as Atambua. Tho it will be interesting to see when we are going to execute the plan with major purchase listing we currently have like Viper, Air Tanker, awacs, Fregate, Hercules. But looking at how the govt put Defense spending as the highest post in our 2020 APBN I am confident that at least they already forecast how the region heating up each day thus will push the purchase of military assets as one of our priority

I would consider turkmenistan as a land locked country with landlocked massive lake / sea , the caspian sea , but they decide to bought a full fledge corvette from turkey .

Long time ago when i was still sit in junior highschool i always wondered if iran somewhat decide to make a canal connecting persian gulf to caspian sea , and azerbaijan with turkey work together to make canal to connect caspian sea to the black sea , would it actually be plausible or beneficial for international marine traffic and for those country who participate in making of the canal and also the country who get land locked in caspian sea ? , and im also thinking it would actually reduce the piracy happened near coast of somali because freighter and tanker would rather re route to that iran , azerbaijan , turkey canal .

To made a cannal there is not feasible at all. First technology challenge, second enormous money needed, third the countries there all had hot headed temperamen

The Indonesian Navy has selected BAE Systems’ Bofors 57 Mk3 naval gun system for the country’s KCR-60 fast-attack vessel program.
The initial contracts with government-owned shipbuilder PT PAL Indonesia include four 57 Mk3 gun systems.

The Bofors 57mm naval gun is designed to address surface, air, and land threats in the littoral environment, and is already in service with a wide range of navies and coast guards, including those of the United States, Canada, Sweden, Finland and Mexico.

“This most recent contract with PT PAL Indonesia signifies the nation’s continued trust that BAE Systems naval guns consistently meet quality requirements and capability needs,” said Ulf Einefors, director of Weapon Systems Sweden at BAE Systems.

With a length of 60 meters, the KCR-60 was designed to quickly deploy guided anti-ship missiles against surface combatants and then rapidly and safely withdraw into the region’s archipelagos. Three KCR-60 vessels are currently in service with the Indonesian Navy, Tentara Nasional Indonesia-Angkatan Laut, or TNI-AL, with a fourth ship scheduled to be operational in 2021.

Two of the new 57 Mk3 systems will be for two KCR-60 vessels currently under construction, while the remaining two guns will be integrated onto two existing KCR-60 ships. The gun systems will be produced at BAE Systems facilities in Karlskoga, Sweden. The first unit is scheduled for delivery in 2020 and the final unit in 2021.

Even the seemingly small canal in Panama and Suez are regarded as grand projects, not without reason, obviously for it's strategic and economic benefits, and also the challenges present in it's construction. Panama canal cuts across some lake area, cutting the cost of it's construction, yet the canal still have limited capacity of how much traffic it could handle at a time, also due to it's series of barriers. Suez canal is built on a flat and "sterile" desert land, which made it easier to build compared to building canals on a mountainous or rocky area, yet it still costs a lot to build and even repeatedly become a hot zones in various wars simply because how important the canal was (and still is) and how it's strategic value is irreplacable elsewhere.

To put it simple, a strip of 100km canal built on an easy terrain cost a **** tonne of money already, even with the massive economic incentive. but 1000km+ canal across the mountains of Central Asia and Caucasus? with a very miniscule economic and strategic incentive? just imagine wanting to build a canal to cut Sumatra in half
