Indonesia sunni and shia only has fierce relation in social media. While in daily life there was no physical clash between Indonesia sunni and shia. We actually don't care whether you are sunni or shia. I have friends who are shia and everything just normal. Different case with ahmadiyah.

Maybe only the body fabricated in Indonesia, while the bogie and drive train fabricated in China.

Wow, cool toy! That multi-barrels gun is gas operated or electric-motor driven? From where PT PINDAD importing their barrels?

Adding explanation from pr1v4t33r; Air velocity above wing surface is faster than below. Without winglet, the air stream below wing tip which has higher pressure is leaking into air stream above wing tip which has lower pressure. This air leak is creating turbulence at wing tip. Because of that...

Try to see in from different perspective. I agree that his research budget is not part of Indonesian mindef budget; his research goals also not part of Indonesian mindef programs. But his SAR research can be used by military topography. He also has full access to his patent and his budget...

When you said "Prof Josaphat had nothing to do with our military program", it is like you are saying "When our military buying KRI Spica, it had nothing to do with our military program." You are right, both have nothing to do with our military program.

I have question about this BADAK. I just look at the brochure of LCTS90MP & CSE90LP. Why PINDAD choose low pressure gun? not medium pressure gun. Medium pressure gun should have more penetration with the same APFSDS munition.

Maybe what he mean was 1.5% to GDP, not state budget. I don't like sudden change because it just magnet for corruption. TNI is very corrupt. I prefer if military budget is increase gradually / annually. e.g.: this year 4.5% of state budget, next year 6% of state budget, next year 7.5% of state...

I envy your Country. I am dreaming that all criminals in corruption, murder, organized crime, rape, & pedophil in my Country are also firing squad executed ASAP. In the name of HUMAN RIGHT, every HUMAN have right to be feel save from murderer, gangster, and sexual predators.

Hi Jakartans@PkDef, I'm difficult to Google the history of these 80 Belgium M-113. How much USD the DoD spent to procure all these 80 M-113? Does all these 80 M-113 arrived in single batch? Is it "grant + retrofit", or simply procure used M-113? Many of my friends dislike the acquisition of...

I like Siemens, they are very cooperative, not snob as General Electric. This article is about steam turbine, not gas turbine or turbojet engine.

Jokowi said he is going to multiply government military budget 3 times if economy growth rate is more than 7%. While current economy growth rate assumption is only 5.6%. I think, during his administration Indonesian economy growth rate will never reach 7% and he will never multiply military...

Does alcohol is totally banned in Pakistan? Or partially banned? I think, even though the ban is lifted, people will still died because drinking home made liquor. Poor people in poor country will always try to find cheap liquor, but home made liquor is not properly produced, instead producing...

Have you ever watch australian tv show with title "Dumb, Drunk, and Racist"? Its about proofing australian stereotype. Which is mostly true. My perception about australian racism is that they are not concern about religion, they concern about asian immigrants take over australian job. Does "one...

I cannot disagree with this. Ambonnese, Minahasan, and Bataknese do have high percentage in armed force. Some ethnic groups are dominating the armed force, I have no problem with this. Its normal. ------------------------------------- I have perception that malay ethnic percentage in armed force...
