    Indonesia conducts maiden flight of upgraded F-16A

    It's a big improvement over the original bl.15 of course, it's even more advanced now compared to the F-16 bl.52 ID we got a few years back... but if we compare it to RSAF's original F-16 bl.52, then it's capabilities still falls short... we need newer modern fighters comparable to RSAF..

    I'm a bit confused with the below news... So let's see if I my understanding is correct.. Basically we are already firm with our choice in going with the Babcock-designed Arrowhead 140 variant of the Iver Huitfeldt class frigates, but at the same time we are also still in discussions with them...

    Why Southeast Asia Should Welcome AUKUS Australia models independence in standing up to China.

    NK is already heavily sanctioned, demonized, punished due to, among others, their nuclear program... and is already internationally branded as an evil and pariah state.. So what's the point of shouting that out again...? on the other hand, the US and Australia were always the loudest ones to...

    Why Southeast Asia Should Welcome AUKUS Australia models independence in standing up to China.

    I was just correcting your statement that they were only using 50% enriched uranium which is untrue for the anglo nuke subs... also Australia is a party and strong supporter of NPT.. at least was.. Them acquiring nuke subs running with weapons grade HEU is a violation of NPT and makes Australia...

    It's a violation of NPT (which Australia is a party) for at least 2 reasons (perhaps even more) : 1. The sub reactor uses HEU which is weapons grade level instead of LEU.q 2. The submarine itself is a war machine, it is a weapon.. it may not be a "nuclear weapon", but it definitely should fall...

    US: “China bans purchase of US-made aircraft”. China holds a quarter of Boeing orders

    Weird... even the title itself is already conflicting... US: “China bans purchase of US-made aircraft”. China holds a quarter of Boeing orders So.. China bans purchase of US made aircraft, BUT at the same time a quarter of Boeing orders is coming from China... so which one is which..? :cuckoo:

    China, Russia must resolutely respond to arrogant US space goal: Global Times editorial

    The militarization of space (by any party) is of course worrying... but this DARC project currently seems not much more than building a bunch of (big) ground radars looking up... and I feel that those are much less of a threat compared to, say, orbital spy satellites (Radar or EO) looking...

    The world's first desert railway loop was completed in Xinjiang, China

    Whoa..! Eventhough the ground below is nothing but desert sand, China still built the railway line elevated instead of at grade... is building an elevated railway line cheaper or faster compared to just building it on the ground..?

    Well.. it's speculation indeed... and you are right that it could've simply been due to our own incompetence or negligence that we haven't setup such a tech security office here... but on the other hand, there could also be valid reasons on why we can't or won't setup such an office or agreement...
