France’s burgeoning defence ties with Indonesia

At first glance, given their geographic distance, there seems little pushing France and Indonesia closer together. But from Paris’s perspective, the French territories in the region and the fact that 93% of France’s...

Wow.. it seems that not even Japan can afford to fly F-35s that often... F-35 cpfh must really suck... but then again, neither the USAF can... otherwise they won't be considering a new more affordable gen 4.5 fighter...

We really shouldn't get involved in this mess.. let them sort it out by themselves.. I mean we didn't do anything either during the Thai coup and they all seem to be just fine.. no need for us to act as a democracy champion or such..
This video gives a great summary of the history of the Jakarta - Bandung HSR project and why it's China that is finally constructing Indonesia's first HSR line instead if Japan...

I think it's a good thing now that we are no longer planning on getting new build F-16s, even in its latest blk.72 Viper version, and instead prefer to invest in newer gen platforms like the Rafale... Even the USAF is considering a brand new platform for its gen 4.5 fighter...
So from 48 Rafale it is now 36 Rafale + 8 F-15EX = 44 new jets... That's great! slightly down in numbers but we get heavy fighters in exchange... hopefully we can add more F-15s later till at least a full Sqn (@16 units)... That being said, I wonder how AU plans to allocate the 36 Rafales...
The already approved USD 1,6B budget allocation for new fighters is just for this fiscal year right...? For the next fiscal year we will need to budget it again...? Because if USD 1,6B is the whole allocation for 2020 - 2024, then I don't see how we can get a new full sqd (16) fighters with just...
