Well, regardless of all the arguments here. The way i see it. Mindef is looking for an exit strategy to introduce new fighters fast. Most of this decision was made because of the mess that was left behind by the previous mindef.
With all that taken into consideration, i think the typhoon is...
Hopefully its true bro. I really hope we can benefit from this project. We have invested too much and would loose a lot if we pull out or got kicked out of the program at this stage.
Sadly our contribution is not as big and as valuable as what you may think it is. Just look at the south korean armed forces fb page. Altough its true that we did get valuable experience out of it.
True. Its quite sad actually. Our government lacks of commitment and consistency for the program has cost us dearly.
On the links below from one of South Korean armed forces facebook page it is even stated further regarding our involvement in this project. I dont know how true is this though.
It doesnt mean that they have such facility in Indonesia or that our government would agree on such things. It would be political suicide onJokowi side.
It just shows that China is planning/more likely considering basing their aircraft or naval vessel in one of those countries. It doesnt have to...
I must say i agree with your assessment. The future of SCS doesnt seems to be Bright tbh. And now China has another issue with india. We need to be ready for whats about to come and we need to be ready fast. I understand that any future defence procurement needs to be carefully considered and we...
Russian product? I dont know man, considering we have ongoing project to build national datalink system? I dont think it will be viable for us to purchase these thing. We would be better off buying western shore based anti ship missile.
I think theres a lot of miscommunication/misunderstanding or whatever you call it from @Cromwell previous post. First of all, this is publicly available documents which anybody can access. Theres even a links for it for you to check it yourself. The said documents and file are even posted on...
In my view a lot of SOE and private ones can do paralel ship building at the same time. Given that they have adapt the skill to build the ship in blocks and module. I think its merely limited by funds only. If we have a lot of money to be poured into those shipyard, we would be churning out ship...
Of course SCYTALIS is good at what they do. They have the capabilities and experience with western datalink system.
They are the one building the national datalink system of South Korea and Japan.
I imagine any Nato country capable of developing its own datalink system like the US with their...
It makes sense. Its a system highly resistant to jamming. If even a small part of the datalink system is leaked to unfriendly country, it would compromise all of the user of the said system.
The source code of link16 or linkY will not be given to Indonesia even if Indonesia has the capability...
