    If those seken is addition to the new latest Viper then why not. Those seken surely will play different role then block 70/72. But if we discard the brand new and replace it with seken then It would be sad and waste of human resources. Like I said we need to expose our pilot and technician to...

    I think they just "fishing", it just show that they have screwed themselves by "toying"" with us and others as well. Perhaps they now realize and think "dang we prolly need some friends in south east asia as a military hub. But wait, didnt we try to bully them all already?" :rofl:

    Imho western side is lacking in coastal def missile systems. Russia doctrine made them pushed the R&D on missiles base system including coastal. This is also true in terms of Submarine technology, tho they are now getting left behind abit in this area. But to underestimate overall Russian...

    100% Harwat, I like this already. Tho its sometime good on paper in reality that harwat often shifted for operational expenses. Perumahan prajurit bertambah juga, this I like the most. Those sersan and balok need to have more kesejahteraan. Setelah uang cicilan/uang muka dibayarkan baru itu...

    FA-50 as alternative is decent but I dont think its good enough for us considering the Heavy Fighter purchase plan is gone for now, what we need is fighter with good range to compensate. F-16 has more range then FA-50, with additional CFT and drop tank it can fly far and away. This can be good...

    Lady yg paling kanan kalo ingatan/penglihatan ga salah Evi Lusviana Ketua Umum Persatuan Industri Pertahanan Swasta Nasional (Pinhantanas) (cmiiw) I'd rather have 15% but worth evey percentage then having more but unable to be absorbed by our own Def Industry.

    I am thinking the same thing, but if we are going to do that we better be sure those F-16 have enough missiles variants to cover its role as backbone such as radar homing missiles, ASM, AShM, etc. For now I only see them having the role of ground support and patrol duty. It would be a waste...

    I think so. From 2020-2025 its going to be warm, 2025-2030 will be much hotter. 2030 onward if the region failed to balance their power then its going to get much worst. Yea I guess its not going to be Viper upgrade. But having 4 SKA of block 52id will be great logistically and operationally as...

    Wait what?? Whos "they" are you talking about? Talking about 3 SKA brand new plus additional 3 SKA pre-loved....hmmm, here is my take Im putting economic aside and try to look it from airframe avaiablility stand point. Im sure our AU dont want their fighter got reduced due to jet retirement...

    I dont like another second hand F16, I dont think used F16 isnt worth upgrading to Viper if we looking at the perspective of LCC. But at least the sound of us getting new Viper is heard again for now. Buckle up, September is around the corner we might see more unconfirmed news that can be worth...

    Well some changes were made due to threat projection and new requirements. Some change because we found out its "too expensive", and some just for silly reason. Its getting bit better tho. The way I see it for now we must focus on maintaining our current assets quantity either jets/naval ships...

    Well Im done being nice to them. Most of you prolly miss it, but if you looking closely at their political leaders speech on how they put Indonesia as inferior nation/race when they comparing the two nations you might get the idea. I just dont get it, their govt even worried when Malaysian...

    Chestnut already made some points on your thoughts about it which I agree as well. Now pls allow me to add my thoughts. First of all we should see the intended role we have on F16V. For example; if its meant to be a workhorse/patrol duty do we really need double engine? So basically it started...

    I would love to have F15EX in our assets, but its simply too rich for our blood right now. Not to mention our AU has more complete set of Russians missiles compare to US one. Let them naturally phase out while we are building our new direction whether its Europe or US. I still thinking F-16V is...

    The main issue for F-35 is its range capability, she needs tanker to operate long distance mission. Remember most of the time the mission path is not a direct line but pretty much have to zig-zag to avoid detection from ground sites. In this case US have Stingray...

    Ok let me share an idea about this "stealth" from the 5th gen fighter. Lets look at the older stealth version of F117. F117 Smallest RCS comes from the front, with the help from the paint it might "confuse" the radar or can be seen as a flicker in the radar screen backthen. Additionaly it has...

    In addition to what others have said here about SAMP/T, what I like about this is its open architecture. Its easier to integrate and do future upgrade. Something that some of current rival is lacking. Anyway seeing we purchase some new and cool alutsista is good, but what making me thrill is...

    If its US then its prolly like whats they have with Singapore now. And I dont think its Australia, they can easily have it from Malaysia and they already have Butterworth for aircraft base.

    I dont know, but I am pretty sure its not for China :lol::lol: And this writing comes while the possibility of future fighter purchase is being discussed? There must be one hell of a "discussion" going on right now. :D
