news report that merkavas bring brought in might have to do with it... but i got news more towards licensing of certain parts

If the squad still has part of the team assigned to establish a base of fire in addition to the maneuver element, I reckon they would be better off being equipped with a heavier fire support weapon like a belt-fed LMG or GPMG which would be much more suited to the job. The oft complained part about these weapons being heavy and cumbersome usually evaporate when they show their worth in a firefight. Simply using a normal assault rifle to fire hi-cap magazines would be insufficient in these cases.

Nice video of the Indonesian Army Leopard 2A4 MBT manuevering on muddy grounds.

The Russian military received massive numbers of new equipment in 2016



The Russian military received a sweeping array of new weapons last year, including 41 intercontinental ballistic missiles, and the wide-ranging military modernization will continue this year, the defense minister said on Wednesday. This was despite economic downturn and sanctions for the annexation of the Crimean peninsula.

Minister Sergei Shoigu told lawmakers the air force received 170 new aircraft, the Army received 905 tanks and other armored vehicles while the Navy received 17 new ships last year.

The rising number of new weapons has raised demands for new personnel. Shoigu said the military currently needs 1,300 more pilots and will recruit them by 2018.

As part of President Vladimir Putin's military reforms, the armed forces have received new weapons and now engage in regular large-scale drills.

Russia has also used its revived military capability in Syria, where it has launched an air campaign in support of Syrian President Bashar Assad and used the conflict to test its new weapons for the first time in combat.

The weapons modernization effort has seen the 1-million Russian military narrow the technological gap in some areas where Russia had fallen behind the West, such as long-range conventional weapons, communications and drone technologies.

The minister also said the military will complete the formation of three new divisions in the nation's west and southwest, and also deploy a new division on the Pacific Kuril Islands, which have been claimed by Japan.

NOW I KNOW
KORANG DENGAN AKRONYM KAU

I feel Indo military must be checked .

the PKI was a scapegoat for CIA back military elements within the TNI to seize power from sukarno.. every since then TNI is strongly backed by the CIA

Indonesian marines are just trying to catch up with the Army... 

They will be killing each other in a conflict... 

That's why I hate doing bilateral exercises with Malaysia and Indonesia... 

It hurts a lot to kill a friend...
