senjata laras panjang terbaru jenis 752 buatan Pindad

fuh..not bad Indonesia military industries

very interesting on PLZ-52 155mm SPH , SR52 and not sure what product.

The super tucano going to afghanistan air force right? Or murica going to take it themselves?

Not sure, 20 units were supposed to go to Afghan Air Force, but looks like USAF are having fun with a few these as well. They already has the facilities to build more Super Tucanos, so why not.

Note: The Tucano in the pic looks way too advanced to be given to Afghans. Probably USAF versions for their own low-level counter-insurgency ops?

Also looks like US Navy also wants to get some of that Super Tucano action themselves

US Govt crony rage(lockheed, boeing.etc.). I think the tucanos are built inside US with joint venture with their crony.

Hahaha for big contractors like them, project like this look like small change only, not worth their time. Only smaller aircraft manufacturers that have designs for small combat aircraft (beechcraft, Gulfstream) are protesting why US gov buy foreign design for the LSA (light support aircraft) program rather than local designs. The Super Tucanos are to be built by a US subsidiary of Embraer Aircraft called Sierra Nevada Corporation (SNC) Aerospace.

Company site: SNCorp.com

Another clearer picture of the US Navy test Super Tucano, which can be identified by the 'rearing stallion' nose art. Note the 'Bright Star II' optical sensor suite turret and the mass of antennae for various electronic equipment (not found on other country's Super Tucanos).


The A-29 actually has its own website: Builtforthemission.com

Forgive me peeps, I gave a wrong description on the pic above. This plane isn't a A-29 Super Tucano, it's actually a Beechcraft AT-6B Aircraft (below)..... Sorry, should've noticed a Super Tucano wouldn't have an oil cooler inlet under the engine cowling and just four propeller blades....


Meanwhile, this is an actual US Air Force A-29 Super Tucano:

DCNS Confirms Sale of 10 Gowind Corvettes, Expects More
(Source: Defense-Aerospace.com; published Oct 31, 2014)
By Giovanni de Briganti

..........
Malaysian local production

DCNS’ Malaysian contract involves the sale of the Gowind 2500 design and related technology to a local shipyard, Boustead Naval Shipyards (BNS), which is the prime contractor and will build all six ships at its Lumut shipyard under the Malaysian navy’s Second Generation Patrol Vessel (SGPV) program. BNS was awarded the $2.8 billion contract in 2011, but it only went into effect on July 14, 2014 after completion of a major upgrade of the Lumut shipyard.

DCNS’ involvement began in 2012, when it signed a Letter Of Agreement with BSN, and in addition to the design and related technology, it will also supply the ships’ combat management systems and technical assistance in adapting the basic design to Malaysian requirements, which for example call for a slightly longer ship (+ 8 meters), powered by four 16-cylinder MTU marine diesels. Under the contract, DCNS retains IP rights to the basic Gowind design, whereas BNS will own the rights to the Malaysian variant.

The Malaysian contract is worth “several hundreds of million euros” to DCNS, according to company officials; construction of the lead ship is to start in March and its delivery is tentatively planned for 2019, substantially later than initially planned by Malaysia. The French company also plans to compete for a possible follow-on third-generation program if that project goes through.
.....
Separately, MBDA is negotiating a contract to equip the ships with MICA Vertical Launch air-defense missiles and MM-40 Exocet anti-ship missiles, together worth an additional 400 million euros, while DCNS is negotiating a 100-200 million euro contract for torpedoes.

my view
- cost missile and torpedo already Euro 500 million++ ....
- Egypt Gowind built by DCNS france will launch at 2017 2 year early, event order only june this year。

LTZ kena jaga-jaga ooo.... Indo buy small ASW Helicopter to counter our Sub and S'pore.
our ASW Heli also no news liao .... get small AW159 ASW heli also can loh ......

Ah, so actually the Mengshi DF-16 from earlier is actually armed with an clip-loaded automatic 82mm gun/mortar similar to the Russian 'Vasilek' mortar.

at least $13 billion...but could be $15 billion five years from now

Big Surprise in store at upcoming Zhuhai Air show 2014, Chinese weapon manufacturer set to unveil massive CX-1 hypersonic Anti-Ship missile


Whoa nelly! Look at the size of that thing!!
That missile must be 10-12 meters in length & probably reach 1 meter in across. That makes it larger than Russian BrahMos, Onyx & Granit missiles!
More problems for US carrier groups, I guess.

I wonder what will be the possible launch platform?

Sinodefence forum show it's land-based, launched from M20 MLU system

Probably also too big for fighter-bomber aircraft, so in PLAAF probably only H-6K can carry the the missile. Then the missile can be the Chinese version of the famed Russian AS-4 Kitchen, to be the source of fear for US carriers. Up to now, the most powerful Anti-ship missile in PLA arsenal is the already huge YJ-12, which is a near-copy of a Russian P-270 Moskit missile. It already has US defense thinkers recalculating the odds of survival for any carrier battle group.

The appearance of the Hypersonic CX-1 would probably throw the calculations seriously way off balance yet again in the near future.

I think US already put it into consideration, the new CX-1 just another supersonic anti-ship missle to add to thier headache

over the years, US think tank already highlighted the vulnerabilities of large carrier group especially under missile saturation attack give that what russia and china will most likely do. The supersonic speed just add more problem but the idea of saturation attack is still there

Their stop-gap solution is to built more cost effective AEGIS destroyer to provide more area defense and also more ship to accompany the carrier group. Other suggestion is to built a primary anti air and anti missile destroyer like the Type 45. But Naval old school thinking is that a multi mission destroyer is more effective in cost than a dedicated system
