According to information released by the Indonesian Ministry of Defense on July 27, 2021, the Indonesian army has signed an agreement...
Even in the middle of Covid-19 second wave, work on HSR is still ongoing...
Progress as per early July is at 76,36 %
There's a change to the planned stations though :
Original plan : Halim (Jakarta) --> Karawang --> Walini --> Tegalluar (Bandung)
New plan : Halim (Jakarta) --> Karawang -->...
Naah.. even though there are excesses with some families in Indonesia (the most famous is probably the social media celebrity, Halilintar family, which has 13 members), today the fertility rate in Indonesia is just barely at the replacement level of 2.3... about a decade ago in 2010 it was...
If the above photoshop is accurate (and I'm inclined to believe so), then we can easily see that many Su-57 components were used in Checkmate...
- Canopy / Nose / Cockpit (and likely the avionics and perhaps the radar)
- Wings (excl. LERX part)
- Vertical stabilizers (or stabilators ?)

Lol..! Hopefully this is not to imply that the Russians has successfully stolen a tabletop plastic display model of a non-existent US fighter jet and turn it into reality...! 😆
That said this Northrop model looks a lot like a scaled down single engine version of their YF-23...

Pratt & Whitney F100 - in use by F15 &...
Now that's pretty jet! 😍
Ok based on nothing but quick observation, it seems the following are similar / taken from Su-57 :
- Canopy --> back sliding canopy
- Landing gears
- V-tail --> shape looks the same, but can't be sure if it's an all moving tail.
- and of course the engine has been...
Their politicians may be able to make such statements, but I strongly doubt the general Japanese public has the will (or the stomach) to shed blood for Taiwan (or for anyone else) except to defend themselves... 75+ years of US pacification has totally pacified the Japanese martial spirit...
Aamiin..! with a budget of $600 mil for just a single sub, we can probably even get a new-built Soryu...! 😁
Now if only the JMSDF has a Soryu they are willing to sell... 🤪
