Those requirements is not for war preparation. It is just to replace the old ones. And no, 3-4 unit flankers (borrowed, not bought) + simulator are not enough to fill a fighter squadron. That sims can't fly for a real life missions. If it's OK, then a good news. What bother join in KFX project...
Why delay fighter procurement until at least 2026? You do realise sku 14 has to borrow flankers from sku 11 right?
You do know that MEF still the obligation to fill by Dephan?
And by 2026, it won't suddently go directly mass production. It will be initial production first and South Korea will...
What waiver? According to some sources, caatsa should be triggered first then you get waiver just like India or Egypt. That means they should buy first the article then can ask for waiver.
Imho, no effective contract yet for Su-35.
Well, there was NDL-40 light MLRS made by IPTN. I don't know if it managed to go into operational or not. Shown first time in IAS 96, if my memory serve me well.
Relax, chill out. No need to brag about stay behind laptop on sat nite.
I know it's painful to work while others having fun. I have passed that. Or is it online game?
If you don't believe about fishermen activities data collected by navy, that's fine.
So...>2000ton sub will get stuck inside net.
<2000ton sub will never get stuck?
why would sub goes to area where a lot of fishermen? No intel report about area that should be avoid by sub?
Off course a sub can get stuck by fishermen net but how big the chance this would happen compare to sub...
Ocean going submarines are needed now. If we look at kajian that was made early decade 2000, we can see that alutsista for both laut dangkal dan laut dalam is needed. No such as 1 sub suits all.
That is why I believe, ocean going subs (> 2000ton) will be required sooner or later. Specially for...
In this situation, eMLU to block 52 is better than nothing. They already have the same mission computer just like in block 52.
What I concern is this may take too long before all these 33 units (A/B/C/D) becoming block 52.
Why can't they do it in bigger batches. And maybe do it at PT DI...
TNI AU F-16D definitely different from more advanced F-16D+ RSAF.
When TNI AU feels proud of e-MLU F-16A/B (basically block 52 equivalent) fleet later, RSAF will get their upgraded Viper.
When we get (only God knows when) Viper, they would start to retire their F-16.
No matter how close...
Well this is a sad and good news for me. Sad because this troubled subs will keep on produced for many years to come. Hopely on 2nd batch, all the problems are solved.
Good news because the sooner the better. AL needs all force multiplier they can have.
I don't mind dsme 1400 as long as...
I don't think dsme 2000 actually dsme 1400. The tonage itself is far different. The length and diameter is different. It is not the same sub. So yeah for me it is unproven design 100%.
Crazy about korean sub? Sure go ahead take KS III. It is better than paper sub. At least Korean Navy using it.
