Very interesting mix of Russian and western aircraft. 

It is a full-out war, its just that the Saudis and its allies isn't fighting an enemy on a similar level to them. The Yemen rebels still have significant conventional warfare capabilities but they don't have an arsenal as awesome as the Saudis have yet they haven't resorted to classic guerrilla tactics.

They are still large-scale attacks on both sides by mass infantry, artillery strikes, armor attacks and air strikes on each other (using fighter-bombers by the Saudis & their allies and with Scud missiles by the Yemenis).

In theory, with their better-trained military and their cutting-edge weapons & equipment, the Saudis and its allies should be sweeping the floor with the Yemenis in a conventional war (which is currently happening, the war haven't gone into a guerrilla phase), but they are barely gaining any headway.

Lawrence will only rise from his grave when Turks are involved. Arab-on-arab war? don't bother.

why they need to remove all the weapons away?

i know its should b all natural to every way, but they still need self defense mechanism, no?

Pirates don't follow such restriction right? Many of of the medicines on board can fetch quite a price in black market and may attract pirates.

If anyone is curious, the RPG the guy is carrying (which is actually a chinese-made Type 69 grenade launcher) has a HE-airburst warhead for anti-personnel duties.

On impact, the warhead will detonate a small explosive charge to 'bounce' itself to a height of 2 meters where it then detonate the main charge and scatters 800 steel ball bearings along with it.

whats with the tni-au and their camo stripes? 

"new weapons"

yeah, we no have strong "political will" to built strong defense capability。and turn defense become politic firearm 

TNI have tons of power projection already, due to the nature of their terrain. They can easily transport forces across significant distances by their air and naval units. You kind of need that capability if your country is an archipelago.

Unlike Malaysia the Indonesian F-5 replacement have been budgeted.  Contract signing for the Su-35 expected after the Indonesian Defence Minister visits Russia in April for follow up negotiations.

For RMAF MRCA as Marhalim said on his recent article that iit is unlikely for the next 24 months.

All good MBTs built in the past 50 years can swim. Just slap on a snorkel and you're good to go.



What so special about K2 MBT swimming that makes this newsworthy is beyond me. 

to go with the Russian propaganda and War Is Boring reposts
