really? does propeller aircraft still practical in modern warfare?

i think for infantry support or something similar

but then, its easy target for Manpads..

SAF Leo 2A4 around $1m - source


Holland offer to Indon at $2.8m for Leo 2A6 - source

Wow. SAF got a very nice deal themselves. I doubt we can get the same deal.

Does this include the estimated cost when upgrading the tanks?

he said the upgrade cost is $4.5m

each tank?

so there you go!

for COIN operations yes

Probably going to be based in papua,
the island is still practically in conflict with the FPM.

its gonna face the same threat as attack helos

regardless,those separatists don't have modern SAM or attack aircrafts

Pls don't misquote me. I said I think the upgrade cost should not be higher than $4.5m we paid for Pendekar in response to ayanami_tard's claim that the 2ndhand cost of Leo 2A4 is already higher than a brand new Pendekar. With the cost of $1m each for Leo 2A4 and expected cheaper cost of locally upgrades, as I'm saying from the beginning that we're paying quite a high cost for Pendekar as compared to SAF Leo 2SG.

^ whatever it is PT-91M is going to be in ours inventory for years to comes.
hope they can bring the MBT potential to another height on the next batch.

Let me see what else the Army is asking for

- a hundred more MBT for additional 2 tank regiments
- a few hundreds more AV-8 on top of 257 ordered to completely replace our Condor and Sibmas
- a squadron of attack chopper and a bunch of transport helicopters to form the air calvary corps. taking over the old nuri for this purpose is not a kind idea
- two variant of SPH, track and wheel

anything else? If we're to spend top $$ for every single purchase, fulfilling the above requests would take eternity. there has to be a balance between our pursuit of quality, quantity, timeline and developing local defense industry.

ec725 will take over the nuri but some of the nuri will stay and went through some upgrade to cont their service.
I dun think they want 2 variant SPH. also I dun think it will be in the inventory any time soon. the same to AH as well.

MBT and AV8 next batch will wait next RMK perhaps.

It is fair, as the Army who has the less new equipment since end of COIN warfare at the early 90s!
unlike other department that were giving asset.

the AV8 and PUTD program are necessities

the condor looks like a 50 year old african prostitute

From what I heard, the Army wanted 2 variant of SPH, wheeled and tracked. Wheeled SPH for accompanying infantry while tracked for accompanying armor. Cesar for wheeled while K1 Thunder for tracked was the prefered ones..

Ic, that would made the whole procurement even larger.

Not only that, the wheeled SPH has to be light enough to put on transport plane to accompany 10 BDE.
