thanks bro yinchet

Low profile tak jadi la kalau orang boleh taw dan leh share kat open forum cmni =)

Sensor, rwr, flir and chaff already confirmed.
the only thing left is the weapons pod which nowhere to be seen.

20mm cannon pod and 2.75" rocket pod not that expensive.

Bukan yg saya kata punya.

ESSCOM HOPES FOB TO BE READY BY YEAR END





[ESSCOM Times]

no SEA nation is ready to invade anyone.none have the logistics to maintain a front for more than a couple of days except singapore

Kalau ikut 10sqn waktu aku kat sana hari tu hujung tahun ni barang2 SAR sampai dan akan dipasang
10sqn ngan 5 sqn pn blum fully operating lagi
the last Cougar baru sampai kat Subang tgh pasang dan belum buat upacara hand over.

Indonesia is definitely not in a position to execute an incursion on foreign soil. Yes, they are on shopping spree but the quantity is way inadequate to protect their territories. Their military in general couldnt even form an effective expeditionary force which requires a sizable airlift and sea lift to different part of the region within shortest possible notice. Luckily, like 191 member nations across the world which are under the umbrella of United Nation, emphasis on economy, wide spread social media for sympathy. Otherwise, Singapore would have shot down all their planes and sank their fleet and taking Riau Peninsula from the Indonesian.

Anyway big country is not invincible. History has proven, when JPN annihilated the Chinese air power and raped Chinese cities apart. The Chinese do not have the capability to resist simply because naval power was like almost from little to none and they possessed limited air power. If SG decided to whack Indonesia for some apparent reasons, Indonesia will probably be experiencing what the Chinese experienced in WW2. Personally i think its unlike to happen.

Actually, Indonesia has an aspiration to become the strongest militarily in the region, even outgunning Australia. Although, may never be as strong as China and India.

According to Citigroup projection, Indonesia will become 4th largest economy in 2050. Other financial organizations have varying projections, but the lowest rank is 6th position in 2050.

Year 2050 (in billion)
China 205,321
India 180,490
United States 83,805
Indonesia 45,901

If it maintains 0.8% GDP for defense budget...equal to $360 billion.

Some people could be somewhat skeptical about this, but if someone prophesied in 1998 that Indonesia will become the 10th largest economy in 16 years according to World Bank, everyone would roll on floor laughing out loud. But, it happens.

There would be no such invasion.

Indonesia is now entering it's final phase of the 1st Minimum Essential Force (MEF) this year. MEF have now reached 40% capability. The 2nd MEF will kick start as the new president is elected,

2nd MEF ---> 2015 - 2019
3rd MEF ---> 2019 - 2024

Indonesia current defence spending is 0.9% (one of the lowest in SEA) of GDP. The defense budget is projected to increase in 2015 to 1.5% (and yet it is still one of the lowest in SEA) of GDP. But with a GDP that have reached the USD 1 Trillion mark that would see a defence budget of USD 15 Billion.

Indonesia 1st MEF priority is to replace obsolete military hardware and there are lots of it. It would be interesting on what Indonesia would be procuring in the 2nd MEF with a defence budget of USD 15 Billion.

And it looks like the 2 presidential candidates are committed in modernizing the Indonesian military.

justification of the high price of the EC725 is that is primed for CSAR..

EC725 nak pasang weapon pod mcm mana tu? rocket launchers ke? ke cukup je pasang mini-gun

bila beli tapi taknak announce pasal 'low profile' la mengundang persoalan mengenai isu songlap..

betol betol! now even NGPV also facing the same critisim.

our minister-minister are more concern of their pocket rather than the security of the nation.
