AV4 is direct copy of some kinda Belgian 4x4 APC, without doing any improvements on its design..

Dun u need approval from US Congress to do any modifications on US-supplied military hardware?

yes approval is needed form the congress.

anyway converting F5 to UCAV is not feasible as it might cost more that building from scratch and US already has X45 under development .. Europe is also building a demonstrator called the neuron

No problem 1 on old tech.
IIRC Even Airod were allowed to do some modification on the F-5e and restoring the F-5e.

unless there is a feasible studies we wont know it is feasible.
IIRC US converting their old fighter plane to target drone not that expensive.
The market for F-5 UCAV is there. South korea, thailand, singapore for example.

I believes thats with US Congress's approval, and the modifications was only replacing old camera with digital camera for RF5E

I'm saying such project would be huge problem getting approval from US congress's

TNI-AD should get chinook and Blackhawk.

y not put more money on Blackhawk instead.

Yep, by a local engineer named Azhar Arifin
try to search for Jampiras Bot Belacak USV

The Chinook has longer range, higher load and underslung capacity compared to the Blackhawk.

A better mix of helicopter capability instead of just the Blackhawk.

I believe that TNI-AD saw the capabilities of the RSAF Chinook during the Sumatra earthquake in 2005.

Indonesia purchased an additional batch of six Su-30MK2 fighters
By Russian Aviation | 13 February 2013 Wednesday | 18:10 MSK

Indonesia purchased an additional batch of six Su-30MK2 fighters , Lenta.ru reports with reference to the CEO of Rosoboronexport, Anatoly Isaykin.

The contract also assumes delivery of additional engines and materiel. Anatoly Isaykin did not unveil other details of this contract.

It was reported in autumn 2010 that Indonesia is going to purchase another six Su fighters (the fleet of Indonesian air forces already includes 10 Sukhoi fighters). The total value of the potential contract was assessed at $470 million. The Minister of Defense of Indonesia, Purnomo Yusgiantoro , stated that Djakarta is going to purchase a total of 180 Sukhoi fighters over the next 20 years . It was planned to form 10 squadrons of Su fighters.

Rosoboronexport and Indonesian Ministry of Defense negotiated in December 2011 on delivery of additional batch of Su-30MK2 fighters. It was reported that the main parameters of the contract have already been approved by the parties and Indonesia just has to define the jet’s configuration.

However, Defense Department Secretary General Errys Heryanto declared in August 2012 that Indonesia will not purchase Russian fighters . He explained this decision by sufficient number of aircraft in the fleet of tactical aviation and shortage of funds in the defense budget, which is hardly enough for renewal of the country’s fleet of military-transport aircraft.

Vnesheconombank and Indonesian Ministry of Defense signed an agreement in December 2012 on provision of the export credit to the amount of $399,5 million for the term of 7 years to Djakarta. It was reported that Indonesia will be able to finance the contract with Rosoboronexport using these funds.

prep to ganyang malaysia, that is just shortem lost but long term gain.

ok speculation ended, thx

parliament already ask TNI to buy it, but i dont think TNI will accept it, cause indo has MI 17

some says TNI looking for new hello transport from US, cause the maintenance of russian hello is high and not effective rather than US made.
