Succesfully circumvent it by buying Flankers...? :rolleyes1:

Yes, and at the same time he also reveals that the effects of the US arms embargo against us was true and real... contrary to the insistence of some posters here that seems to think otherwise... and it became so bad that we actually had to take the 'extreme' measure of actually buying those...

Lol! Soon enough we will all need to regularly update our brains with new firmwares, drivers, security patches, etc to ensure it will work smoothly.. :laughcry:

So basically... just like the rest of us commoners... you have no idea either... of when or even if it will happen.. I was just curious because you seem so certain of your statement earlier...

Really...? Your optimism sure is commendable.. any time estimate of when it might 'actually' happen..?

Soo.. instead of new Vipers, these old tired Falcons are what we are getting now...? :cry: F-16 fanboys are probably smiling ear to ear full of happiness now.... They can just scatter those in various empty military airfields and be used as decoys or something... I bet it will look real good...

Hmm.. Probably means we can get Israeli arms through (and stamped "made in..") UAE instead of Singapore or the Phillippines... Maybe... :D

Now.. this is upsetting... and a serious allegation too.. do you have any proof of that...? of murders..? Weren't they killed during combat because they chose to be at the combat zone..? Or were you suggesting they were executed ISIS style by TNI...?? What ? they think being white journalists...

The hull design is... interesting... but what is it with the protruding lower bow..? Seems some modern ship designs are reverting back to the ancient ironclad battleships hull design... for what purpose though..? As I understand it, in those old warships the protruding bow is meant as a...

It's really is a no brainer to guess that the US is the likely partner looking for such expanded cooperation with us... it's not like a nation like East Timor will be making such requests would they..? The real question is : 1. What does this "logistics cooperation" entails..? Military ships...

Well the Germans are not crying foul against DSME, so everything is most likely to be in order... Likely not deep enough to be a real air raid shelter/bunker... however it might still provide adequate protection for the general public as long as it's not targeted directly or on purpose by...

A couple of things comes to mind : 1. The Koreans did get the license to develop and export the design when they first purchased the U209 / Original CBG class from Germany, perhaps similar to the licensing / agreement we have with the Koreans for the Makassar class LPD. 2. The Koreans did not...

Considering that Turkey can no longer export their T129s due to the US components in it, highly doubt that Turkey can export / share anything with us that contains any US components / technology either... Actually looking at the current situation in Turkey, they might be having difficulties...

Tech transfer / TOT and mandatory local content percentage has always been a requirement for all major projects of national or strategic importance... even more so if one is being funded through the national budget... be it in manufacturing, industry, military, mining, refining, energy...

XL the second-largest telco provider here..? That's a surprise... I always thought that Tsel and Isat is first and second respectively...

So... Basically Turkey is being informally banned from getting any new major weapon systems from the West (US/EU) at this point..? If say Turkey needs to buy a new fighter jet... Where can she get it from other than Russia...? Will China be willing to sell to Turkey...?

Yeah, I don't think they are focusing on IWB work for the block 1 version, even in the published development timeline we can see that there will be no IWB in block 1... However they would've included the space for IWB in the hull / airframe design, even for block 1, although it's probably just...

@Indos I think I read somewhere before that in the block 1 version of KFX, the space reserved for IWB will be used to install additional fuel tank... and that this is to satisfy TNI AU's requirement for a longer range/endurance version of KFX (IFX)..? After the development of the bay doors and...

Oh I do believe that they did discuss about all of those matters during their phone call session... China, SCS, Covid-19, Security, Trade, Investment, economy, etc... It's just funny to see how both parties are so divergent in their focus and priorities though... and it shows... US Focus ...
