For sure new assembly complex, transfer assembly tools, process，machinery, engineer for all section, manufacture some component,
for Indonesia size, i think ant the end they will buy more than 12 unit A400M, also can be as assembly center for Asean market。
just like they assembly CN235,CN212.

In Korean War, the big red cross and 2 guys running carrying stretcher was the preferred target of US Army Aircorp. The Chinese learned it the hard way. Geneva convention is only applicable when you lose. Since you haven't already lost yet, shoot any red cross as you like. Everybody does that, including the US.

Expected P320 bcos only this gun is Modula Handgun System (MHS), meet Pentagon tender requirement. 
By right US army chief Milley want cancel MHS in april last year due to alot cost and wasting money (total project more than 300 mil just for handgun) also keep delay. since US Army special force also bought Glock 19 last year。army chief want MHS replace to Glock so can get gun ASAP.  but ”Procurement group“ in Pentagon reject cancel MHS。and project go on. by right MHS decision will be made in August, but pentagon worry new President will cancel MHS project, so they announce yesterday before new President, also US army chief say last week he will meet new president trump to brief Army requirement for future. so pentagon worry Army suggest to President cancel MHＳsystem too.

a massive recall by airbus since the problem detected
before replacement all gearbox must thoroughly checked every 20 flight hours

Honestly we should have gone for c130j
A400m too problematic.

isn't a400m not even requested by tudm?

That's why many company offer an armor package and APS for Urban Combat and open terrain combat but as all we know that they(like Saudi and Turkey) given the same excuse..... expensive.
