Hmm... Different priorities it seems... o_O

If true, then this AU preference for the KC-46 over the MRTT is truly baffling... even RSAF, a very US centric airforce and former operator of KC135R, prefers the MRTT over KC-46... AU never operates B767s before, not even our civilian airliners does, neither is our existing MRO facilities...

Not at all... actually I'm just suggesting that the US invite him for a visit... it simply seems to be one of the most obvious way to help fast track things for all concerned... :-) Just wondering why it hasn't been done so... As for "effectively manage the development of our armed forces on...

Well perhaps if the US would invite him for an official visit and receive him with all the pomps and ceremonies befitting his title as the Minister of Defense, then probably Prabowo would be more easily swayed.. I mean if he's going to spend Billions of $$ for various defense equipment...

I wonder how this ban can/will be enforced in the US...? I mean, will the app just suddenly stop working in the US once the ban is in place...? China has the Great Firewall to block such apps... does the US has something similar..? Will there be legal persecution for people still having/using it...

Interesting... If we really are not paying, then what's keeping them from suing us in court for failing to pay...? This should be an easy win for them... Or perhaps, quietly, the Brits actually also prefer not to be scrutinized over this rumored "Hawk seharga Hornet" and "Scorpion seharga...

https://www.shephardmedia.com/news/air-warfare/kf-x-prototype-assembly-continues-apace/ AIR WARFARE KF-X prototype assembly continues apace 28th July 2020 - 01:43 GMT | by Gordon Arthur in Christchurch KAI said in June that it would finalise assembly of the first prototype by the end of this...

Our Sukhoi family currently offers greater range, endurance, payload, and a more complete suit of weaponry (AAM,AShM,AGM, Bombs) compared to the F-16s... It's probe and drogue style AAR enables our Sukhoi pilots to regularly practice AAR with our KC130B and also extending its already impressive...

Hold on a bit... Why would you think that this is an "either / or" situation instead of an "and" situation...? It seems like you are suggesting that if we were to continue committing to KFX development, then it means we won't be getting any other fighter for the short term.. This seems strange...

Correction... UU is not Constitution, it's Law or Legislation... Constitution is UUD... And I don't really think we'll need to worry about that too much, we have had no problems purchasing second hand F16s, Bung Tomo Corvettes, and Leopard2s / Marders as long as the price is right... The way I...

Likely depends on the level of overhaul and upgrade work done on the aircraft.. If it's a complete up-to-tranche 3 level upgrade then it can easily take 2 - 3 years... I think it's going to take at least a similar amount of time to when we get our F16 block 52ID... Although it might take longer...

Congratz!! :cheers: May the mission be successful and the science gained be shared with the world.. :victory::victory: Mars surely is being invaded by Earthlings this year...! :toast_sign: First is the UAE/Japan mission, now is Tianwen1, next is the US Perseverance rover scheduled for 30th...

"Den of Spies!" Whoa... sounds more like a paranoid statement that might have come from the Iranian Mullah... is this really what the US has turned into...? Were there any specific proof, evidence, or activities in that consulate that might have caused this sudden move by the USG...?

There's no such "facts".. it's just your assumption.. there are currently no plans to ditch your beloved almighty F-16s simply for the sake of KFX... If anything the main reason for us joining the KFX program is best summarized as below : We might just be a junior partner in this project...

The main problem is not with the number of population (be it 9.7B or 8.8B) it's with the age structure of the population... the inverted pyramid structure will not be sustainable for long... well hopefully android type robots will become available by then to care and nurse for the majority of...

Probably won't be a capital city for much longer if we stay on track with current plans... So yeah Jakarta needs to re-brand it self into more of a Business/Financial/Commercial hub rather than as a capital city... and also needs to quickly address the ground sinking problem too...

If I remember correctly, this ship actively takes part in the 2004 Tsunami disaster relief as well... Her aviation wing (and marines) were flying in and out delivering supplies and aid to the devastated areas in Aceh... Looking at the damage, it seems scrapping the ship is very likely now... A...

...More like a display of the usual Indian incompetence, mismanagement and "sok tau" attitude rather than anything else... The Angolans are the lucky ones in this story..

DSCA approval is before or after contract signing...? If before, what are the consequences if it's not followed up with a procurement contract...? or rather, how long is the validity period of the approval before it expires..? If let's say Trump is not re-elected this year and a new government...

Well.. how for has it progresses now...? Any pending issues that's may be delaying it...? Surely USG/Congress approval should not be one of those, if any... The value of USD 1.72B, is that the actual cost of our Apache package...?
