may i remind everybody that the last time we bought israeli weapon (drone), the chairman of the parliament defence commission (komisi I DPR) is mahfudz siddiq from PKS. He knew exactly where it came from but there were no rejection and he even supported it. So even the perceived and the so...

Are you sure it's because of Prabowo not the other way around? Then can you explain to me why during Jokowi first term, even before prabowo is appointed as minister that the government have to sign the goddamn agreement multiple times and request to renegotiate the same agreement that the...

Does anyone know about the performance/quality and user opinion of Pindad Madsen Saetter MG? I don't think not many used this gun, even the Danes don't used them cmiiw.

Agree, especially when the USAF (originally atleast) prefer MRTT it's a no brainer

Interesting, if i'm not mistaken originally singapore are more interested in A26. But kockums were forbidden by TKMS to participate in the bid. On paper A26 should be better that type 209 variant, some even say that it's better than the german latest diesel subs like the type 218.

The Phillippines just received Elbit Hermes 450 and 900, which IMO more advanced than the searcher we currently had. IMHO we should continue to acquire more Phillippines product, like Elbit Hermes rather than acquiring the CH4 which has questionable reputation.

How can the US trust and take indonesia seriously when the same man who demand access for advance fighter to the US, protect and back China interest and business in Indonesia. Just look how he defend China company in Morowali even when they blatantly break the law. Remember when Former Minister...

Make sense and understandable that the US unwilling to commit/sold the F-35 to us, if we look the position of our government concerning China

USD 402 million for only 1 PKR training? isn't it very expensive? AFAIK the combat PKR cost only USD 220 million for 1 unit. why so much?

It's ironic and funny how kaplan and kfx was being touted and publicized as the achievement of this government during it's early term with so much hype and media coverage, but when the producer send the bill suddenly they change the narration. Meanwhile Singapore without any rhetoric quietly...

Are those bad reputation and complaint about CH-4 from other users (Jordan, Iraq, etc) really true? Should took US/Kosher product IMHO. I still don't understand why we choose this one.

MBT and Attack chopper/air cavalry should be complementary not substitution product. IMHO Air cavalry could not, and should not replace armored unit. Vice versa.

MRO point to 767? we never had any experience with that plane, whether the military or local commercial airlines. As for A330, GMF already has experience and MRO facilities for years for that type.

There is also a possibility that the public/media will be outrage if they find out that the KC-46 use MCAS, people don't have good perception on that system. And let's not forget even the MRTT originaly the one that won the tender for US tanker before Boeing lobby the senate and government.

Why? Because they are cheap.. that's why :D Considering that Defence satellite, korean subs, kfx, didn't go anywhere because of payment. Cmiiw

To be honest, i'm also rather pessimistic for the second term. The Mindef might be better manage than the first term but I don't think the fund/money is available because of Covid. Even before covid during the first term where "supposedly" the government prioritize infrastructure and the fund...

AFAIK Fortuner gasoline engine are made in Indonesia and several other cars. For larger engine, Hino also produced some of its engines in Indonesia. CMIIW. Pindad doesn't have to produced their own engine, they should cooperate with Gaikindo. I don't think pindad can reach economic of scale to...

I hope they choose the good stuff, not the bad ones. their BTR4 have bad reputation from their buyers, and the last time member from the ruling party wanted Bulat from ukraine instead of Leopard.

Actually your own post show the irony, Damen invested big on vietnam instead of us. If they are willing to Transfer their technology to Vietnam why didn't they do the same to us? Are the problem really solely on Damen part alone? Based on experience and track record there is a lot of problem on...
