I dont think we going to buy russian aa complex no? WIth their support of the rebels in ukraine partly responsible to the downing of our aircraft some more. Maybe aster gbad? Can interchange the missile with our future ships no? hohoho.

Your reasoning?

Will why not? Buk was already in short listed candidate for medium range system

It not confirm who shot down the aircraft. Both side have buk system placed within close proximity. The western media is blaming russia but so far produce no solid evidence.

The one they say is proved is a buk with one missle missing. But anyone also can take out a missle and claimed it been fired. One way to confirm is through satellite  photo during the lauch. But russia and america should have tat capacity but both are not revealing.

Your reasoning?

I know that, but if confirmed they will be bought asap, the timing isnt good. Sure we all know it shouldnt matter but malaysian like to hoo ha about this to the end of time. Hell even the submarine issue is still played out till today, who knows got crazies try to interview the family victims later.

Boeing awarded Indonesian Apache contract

The US government has formally awarded Boeing a contract to build eight AH-64E Apache attack helicopters for Indonesia.

The Department of Defense says in a statement that the “firm-fixed-price” foreign military sales (FMS) contract is valued at $296 million. The helicopters will be built in Mesa, Arizona, and are expected to be completed by February 2018.

US defence secretary Chuck Hagel announced the sale of eight Apaches to Indonesia in August 2013. That announcement came nearly one year after a notification to Congress a year earlier of the proposed FMS sale.

At that time, the total deal was valued at $1.4 billion and included the sale of four APG-78 Longbow fire control radars, an armaments package including 120 Lockheed Martin AGM-114 Hellfire air-to-ground missiles, plus a training and crew support package.

The helicopters are expected to be used by Indonesia’s military in counterpiracy and maritime awareness roles.

In order to be amphibious, vehicle weight must not exceed certain limit. This mean's limited armor and limited firepower. Lack of amphibious capability can easily be rectified with the use of mobile bridges and crossing barges. But there's no way to rectify the lack of protection. Most amphibious armored vehicle have a thin armor which can be easily pierce by a shell fragments and 50 cal bullets. They are also vulnerable to RPG.

CMIIW, we had tested some of BMP-3F before we bought it and they can stand against 14,5 AP munitions at 100 to 200 meter range.

What about against RPG?

I think we might go for mica-vl.
