This surely is exciting news! However a reminder... we have had the FMS approved for J Hercs since ages ago and yet for some reason, seems to still fail to pay for even the initial payment installment... So don't hold your breath just yet... Also other than speed, what are the advantages of an...

And guess who tapped our President's (and other top ranking officials) mobile phones during the 3G era... o_Oo_O https://www.theguardian.com/world/2013/nov/18/australia-tried-to-monitor-indonesian-presidents-phone...

Cool..!! The more the merrier..! :yahoo:There's enough Space for everyone!

o_O o_O Soo... in other words, to promote liberty, democracy, and freedom of speech the EU will now propose to block, limit and censor contents and sites that has different views to them...? The EU should really look up to China in this matter then.. :laugh::laugh:

A curious question... Say you are right and the US does choose to relocate the troops from Europe to Asia Pacific, where will they be stationed..? Japan and South Korea...? even with the existing troops level stationed in their countries the US are demanding an increase in billions of USD for...

I wasn't really planning on looking too deeply into this, just a quick estimate of how many F-15s we can reasonably expect to get if we divert the budget for Su-35 to F-15s... Thanks for the references..! However after looking into it I found some mistake in your cost assumption based on the...

More than 11...? If restored from AMARG stock perhaps... For new build F-15s more likely 4 - 5 units at best...

How many F-15s will USD 1.2 Billion get us...?

Why would anyone wants to drink groundwater directly anyway..? o_O I don't think there exist any city or town on earth where the groundwater is safe enough to drink directly without some sort of treatment... And anyway, groundwater extraction from under any city is bad news... as the land will...

LOL..! The US should just sanction the whole world and be done with it! :usflag::usflag:

They train and educate the local people on how to build, operate and maintain the smelters and other related facilities, it's part of the ToT... Benefit for us other than economic...? more jobs and skill upgrade for the local people of course.. We now not only mine and export raw material...

Actually this form of business flexibility is what makes them successful here.. For example, when we tell them (and the world) we are going to stop raw ore exports (nickel, bauxite, copper, etc) and will only export processed ore, they didn't make much fuss and quickly invests in smelters and...

The Japanese medium speed rail line is not shelved and won't be... It's a different project, with a different purpose, and a different funding and ToT scheme compared to the HSR line... Japan is unhappy not because their project got shelved, but because they feel that they suddenly got dragged...

The main reason of the delay is previously due to land acquisition issues and local red tape bureaucracy (even Covid-19 didn't slow the work as much)... Physical work that should have started in 2016 only started in late 2018 and only accelerated in 2019... The actual construction time so far is...

Well we can ask the same to you... Why are some members here so sure we won't be? When past experiences has shown otherwise...? Can't blame people for having big doubts based on past experience... What makes you so sure that our interests won't diverge with that of the US in the future...

Actually he did mention that he won't be vaccinated for all other viral infections as well and not just for Covid-19... This guy is obviously an antivaxxer... hopefully he will just keep it to himself going forward and not spread it to other people.

These antivaxxers are lucky they are (still) the minority and thus can take the advantage of herd immunity without having to take the vaccines themselves... But if more and more people are becoming like him, we will soon see the re-emergence of old infectious diseases like Polio, Chicken Pox...

Never going to be a successful ASW just because of a ramp door...? First time I heard about that, never read anything about such claims either... However I agree with you that CN235-sized planes are a bit too small to become dedicated ASW and I believe is the main reason why it won't be a very...

I believe almost any civilian airliner can be turned into an MPA/ASW platform with enough military modifications like structural strengthening, weapons hardpoints, gear attachments, etc.. however those additions will increase weight and cost... and with the N219, it's even more unlikely as the...

Can't comment for other Indonesians, but for me, I'm happy with this project... even with the ongoing Covid-19 lockdowns and work/travel restrictions, this project is still going strong and fast... The planned 2021 opening seems to be achievable at this rate :happy:... Can't wait till it's...
