    Awesome!! Now our Bell 412s can not only drop troops but also drop enemy's morale :enjoy: Wish the integration will spread to other transport vehicles like Mi-17s and Anoas. That's one hell of a punch upgrade

    Hmm, I guess by the open tender method which is through a selection process of various vendors we'll get the best price and tech. I've been around in procurement fields and I can assure you that each method has its own merits and disadvantages. Penunjukan langsung like this one is simple method...

    Pindad already has the ammo factory in Turen Malang up and running. I always passed the complex on the way to the beach:D, it is large and complete with train tracks, hospital, etc. If the Pindad Management can successfuly handle this major operations, it will prove itself as professional arms...

    Let's hold our horses for a while. So, after this point, Pindad is going to produce licensed Bushmaster MRAP, BTR-4, joint production MMWT, while maintaining it's own production lines of Komodo, Anoa, and Badak? That's one hell of a work guys. Simultaneous products are meaning plenty diversely...

    Actually, the most reasonable Merad for us is the NASAMS indeed. Similiar munition types with Air Force F-16s (we could stock up AMRAAMs for multiple use) , familiar missiles for the crews (know-how to maintain and keeping), and finally no logistic nightmare. Considering our law request on TOT...

    SAAB is Preparing a Surprise in Ground Based Air Defence Source: indomiliter*com/indo-defence-2016-saab-siap-beri-kejutan-untuk-ground-based-air-defence/ It is said they'll reveal it during Indodefence in November. It is not RBS-70 since we've already got the deal package for modernization and...

    What variant is these Unimogs? Never seen one before. Mobile radar for Mistrals? Sadly, I saw a pict in Formil several times ago this SBS was parked and neglected in the far corner of Pindad's warehouse. They don't seem to have anymore plan to research further or try to develop this tank so it...

    Ah yes, they're even older and less relevant in modern warfare than AMXs. I thought they're already retired after 300+ Anoas produced... Yep, the Army needs to be smart in spending concerning their budget (replacing/purchase new equipments). Increase in next year budget is a long awaited breeze...

    Nice, it means we have secured the demand for 105mm to reach economy of scale. The 105mm TOT is worthed (potential for Tank Boat, Pindad-FNSS Medium Tank, and possibly Future Badak). Maybe, AMX-13 retrofit cost could be cut further since we don't have to import the gun. IMHO: Better to replace...

    Hope the prototype gets finished soon. I'd really love to see how TNI prove this tank boat concept. Judging from the detailed mock up, it seems the first prototype is almost ready. Wonder what kind of turret and gun they'd use... any info?

    Is... is this an obvious clue? @Su-35SM3 Flanker-N dude, what'd you say? Something is off... Shouldn't the one in need to learn Russian is the crews of Makassar AFB since previous Sukhois are all stationed there? Iswahjudi is filled by F-16s. Hmm...

    But dude, you don't seem tired or bored to wear the name 'SU-35SM3':D. Guess deep inside, you still hoped but maybe we should left Hayati drown with the ship instead wkwk.. These days, I'm happier to hear the locally produce alutsista news than the imported one. Lebih nendang

    Rosoboron representatives always say 'Indonesia is interested in...' while there's no further confirmation from the user. I take the bait no more from rbth (well at least until any response is given by MinDef or AU)

    Never heard we had developed sonar, any info about this? This is the war-machines harvest time!!:yay::yay::yay: Glad everything comes safe and sound.

    Don't forget, though it is an amphibi tank we can see the inner side is quite clean and free rust. They must've taken good care of this ol' reliable 'mbah'.:tup: As one mentor in camp told me: 'a soldier's first wife is his weapon, the one in the home is the second. So treat your wifes with...

    Well, wonder if the ship still in retention or guarantee period? Whether Phillipine wants to make insurance claim pr not, PT. PAL must have good aftersales service to prove it really is professional exporter. After all, satisfied customers will surely help PT. PAL,s marketing effort

    When you say it, the gun receiver resembles M2 browning indeed. But why would they switch from air to water cooled? The water system seems a bit complicated when it comes to maintenance or change barrel time. And also it makes the gun heavier although it ain't a matter since it's fix mounted...

    Quite impressive. No idea what type is it but seem to have water-cooled system so probably it is older than the holder and even his grandfather:D (CMIIW) The ammo availability is what grind my gears..

    PT. PAL learning curve is much faster I guess. Wish there'd be third, fourth and so on SIGMA ships in AL's fleets. Let the SIGMA carries on the 'Flag Ship' status from Van Speijk the veteran :yahoo::yahoo:
