Well a couple months ago my colleague took picture of interesting discussion with Damen representatives and the visit to Divisi Kapal Perang. Reading what they fiercely promote quite reasonable but then the scope of works must get increase from previous total value but then if the planned 720 Millions USD goes to PKR, you all can guess fishy works happen again. There are factions which endorse PKR continuation and those opt for new and bigger design, interesting development.Future bilateral cooperation and Netherlands position regarding Papua issues both are important but I think the dutch will be more careful with the second.
What happened, what did I miss?
why the plan stopped ? asian financial crisis ?Well a couple months ago my colleague took picture of interesting discussion with Damen representatives and the visit to Divisi Kapal Perang.

IMF suggestion to cut off strategic programme in order to rescue our economy backthen.why the plan stopped ? asian financial crisis ?
Ah yes,including N250 projectIMF suggestion to cut off strategic programme in order to rescue our economy backthen.
My memory is kinda fuzzy about this Hawk thing back then. Tho I remember clearly it was suppouse to be era "tinggal landas" for the aviation industry and AU. The additional F16 purchased plan was there and Sukohi as well. It was a huge news locally and around asean, simply because the huge numbers ordered. The overall plan was to launch N250 (turboprop) followed by N2130 (Jet), and with those offset it would create cash flow stream/experience to IPTN (PT.DI) as well for further development and partnership with other aviation industry.Original idea about Hawk 109/209 it was proposed IPTN would get co-production scheme valued 35% offset and planned to acquire up to 69 units for 6 squadrons
Feels bad for Mr. Habibie tho every good decision/plan he make mostly got canceled because "political shit" things ex:K21,N250,N2130My memory is kinda fuzzy about this Hawk thing back then.

Our former Habibie has a plan to mass product the N250 then work on trying to manufacture/assembly our own turboprop engine (PT. Nusantara Turbin dan Propulsi/UMC). His approach was Top down instead of down to top referring about building local aviation industry. The idea was if we can produce N250 in large quantities then we can create local supplier/industry as it will meet its economic scale. He was trying to build a solid fondation of aviation industry so it might smoothen the step to creating our own fighter in a future (with local industry ready to support it). But 2 decades later we are starting all over again
No biggie, with the govenrment in transition phase its expected. Supported by Statement from Opposition party, and afaik the negotiation is still in progress which is set to be done this 2019. Paling cuman gorengan pihak partai oposisi mereka disana, apalagi ada pernyataan kekhawatiran kebocoran teknologi juga. Takut kita intip kayaknyaWell, it's newly published. There's no way they don't understand that news should cover the latest information, right?
*teringat berita hoax dan situs berita abal-abal yang bertebaran*
Oops. Who knows ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

How Did a 30-Year-Old Jet Dodge the Pentagon's Latest Missile?
The AIM-9X Sidewinder failed to bring down an aging attack jet.

By now you've probably heard that a U.S. fighter shot down a Syrian jet about a week ago. What you might not know is that before the F/A-18E hit its target, it missed–and it missed with the best, newest U.S. missile.
On June 18, just moments after a Syrian Arab Air Force Su-22 attacked Coalition forces, a U.S. Navy F/A-18E Super Hornet strike fighter rolled into a firing position and opened fire. The Super Hornet locked onto the Su-22 "Fitter" and launched the Military's most advanced short-range air-to-air missile, which promptly missed. While the plane was eventually brought down by another, different missile, the question remains: why did the AIM-9X Sidewinder miss?

The Sukhoi Su-22 is a Cold War-era attack jet designed to strike targets on the ground. A single-seat aircraft, like many aircraft designed in the 1970s it had "swing wings." Cutting edge for its time, this feature allowed the plane to maximize its combat range. Known as "Fitter" to NATO, the Su-22 was designed solely as an air-to-ground aircraft with little to no air-to-air capability. It was produced in large numbers and widely sold abroad. The design is obsolete, and while many air forces still fly the Fitter, it isn't by choice. Here's a video of Su-22 Fitters in Polish Air Force service:
The Super Hornet, meanwhile, is the U.S. Navy's top-of-the-line strike fighter. The Super Hornet is armed with both the infrared guided AIM-9X Sidewinder short range air-to-air missile and the radar-guided AIM-120 AMRAAM medium-range missile. It's a potent combination of air-to-air missiles, representing the best of American military technology.

According to CNN, the Navy Super Hornet locked onto the Su-22 Fitter at a range of 1.5 miles. The Super Hornet launched an AIM-9X, and the Syrian pilot loosed flares to lure the infrared guided missile away from his fighter. The trick worked, and the American missile missed. The Super Hornet then launched an AMRAAM missile which, using radar guidance, is unaffected by flares. This time the Fitter went down.
So why did the AIM-9X miss? A contributor to Combat Aircraft magazine proposed a plausible theory: While the 9X is designed to resist the allure of defensive flares, but it may have been too specialized in rejecting American flares. Contributor Angad Singh tweeted a story originally written by aviation authority Bill Sweetman about American tests of Soviet aircraft during the Cold War.

During the 1980s, U.S. Air Force maintained the top secret 4477th Test & Evaluation Squadron. Flying the Tonopah Test Range in Nevada, the 4477th operated Soviet fighters collected from around the world, often captured by allies, to determine their capabilities. According to the story, the Air Force received a flare dispenser that had been on a Su-25 ground attack jet shot down over Afghanistan. The dispenser was quickly attached to a MiG-21 operated by the 4477th and taken out for testing against the latest American infra-red guided missile, the AIM-9P.
What happened next surprised the Air Force. The AIM-9P Sidewinder, designed to see past flares, was readily diverted by the Soviet flares. The problem was that the -9P was too attuned to the characteristics of American flares it had been tested against and not against the Soviet flares, which according to the squadron commander between 1985 and 1987 were "dirty, and none of them looked the same."

Did something like this happen in the skies over Syria? The AIM-9X, a relatively new missile, should have easily taken down the aging Su-22 Fitter. A lot of air forces, particularly America's NATO allies, rely on the AIM-9X as their short-range missile. The news that it was unable to shoot down a 30-year-old fighter jet will be disturbing to many.

Mungkin kita butuh trit baru buat ngebahas masalah domestik, bisa untuk membahas seperti perpolitikan dan keamanan yang dari pada OOT di trit ini lebih baik dipindah aja biar yang disini fokus militer, bisa buat bahas kayak kemarin masalah papua ato juga pemilu bisa juga diskusi kebijakan pemerintah, diskusi masalah ribut ato konflik internal ato bencana atau cuman buat ngobrol santai member indo, dan yang pasti bahasa inggris ngga harus, biar yang lain bisa lebih ikut menyuarakan suaranya lebih bebas.
