Depends on your doctrine and situation. If its and open area like Iraq war tank will lead and 2 IFV behind the tank.
If its and ambush possible area. Infantry need to clear the ground from possible AT attack, IFV fire support and tank will come in if emeny Tanks spotted.
Just my opinion and to much reading and watching war movies.😏

the aw109 is a light heli.. it can transport what?

which formation did you serve in? 

Transport panglima..hehe

Mindef don't want me. I only joined NCC.

First AS565 MBe Panthers arrive in Indonesia

29th March 2017 - 18:00 by The Shephard News Team



Two base AS565 MBe Panther platforms have arrived in Indonesia for completion by PT Dirgantara Indonesia (PTDI), Airbus Helicopters announced on 29 March.

The Indonesian Navy has 11 AS565 MBe Panthers on order with Airbus Helicopters. The aircraft are being equipped by PTDI with an anti-submarine warfare suite, which includes a dipping sonar and torpedo. The first two will be fitted out and delivered by the middle of 2017.

Airbus Helicopters and PTDI are cooperating on a number of programmes for the Indonesian armed forces, delivering one H215M and two H225M helicopters to the Indonesia Air Force, and two armed scout Fennec helicopters to the Indonesian Army.

The two Fennec rotorcraft delivered in January 2017 are the first armed scout units for the Indonesian Army. Together with the first unit delivered in 2015, these three helicopters will be used for pilot training. The remaining nine of the 12 ordered will be delivered this year.

The two H225Ms delivered in mid March to the air force are the third and fourth of a batch of six units on contract. The remaining deliveries are set to be completed within the next few weeks. The fleet will be deployed for CSAR.

UPDATE 1-Indonesia in tentative deal for Airbus A400M military planes

8 Hours Ago

PARIS, March 29 (Reuters) - Indonesia has signed a letter of intent to buy Airbus A400M military aircraft, French President Francois Hollande's office said on Wednesday.

The provisional agreement was signed during a visit to Indonesia by Hollande and covers an unspecified number of aircraft, according to a list of deals issued by his office.

If completed, it would provide the troubled European military programme with a second export customer after Malaysia.

A previous deal to export A400M airplanes to South Africa was cancelled in 2009. Chile was also at one time seen as an export partner for the aircraft, which has run into billions of euros of cost overruns and years of development delays.

Hinting at industrial work as part of any deal, the head of Airbus Military Aircraft, Fernando Alonso, said the aircraft would form the basis of further industrial co-operation and could eventually boost the Indonesian Air Force's Mobility Arm - a type of unit which typically handles troop transport.

At present Indonesia operates Lockheed Martin C-130 transporter planes and Spanish CASA planes built under licence.

Airbus said the letter of intent was signed by Pelita Air, representing a consortium consisting of state-owned companies.

"Future discussions will address, among other things, the number of aircraft to be encompassed in an eventual contract and possible industrial cooperation arrangements," Airbus added. (Reporting by Cyril Altmeyer, Tim Hepher; editing by Alexander Smith)

4TH BATCH. The Philippine Air Force formally receives two more FA-50 lead-in fighter trainers it acquired from South Korea. DPC photo

MANILA, Philippines – The Philippine Air Force (PAF) on Wednesday, March 29, formally received the 4th batch of FA-50 lead-in fighter trainers from South Korea.

The arrival of two more jets puts the total number of FA-50s in the PAF inventory at 8. Four more will arrive in the next months to complete the PAF's squadron of 12 fighter jets.

The FA-50 is technically a fighter trainer but the PAF acquired it to perform multiple roles. These aircraft have been deployed for surgical airstrikes against local terrorists in Mindanao.

The jets were acquired for P18 billion by the previous administration, one of two big-ticket items as the country embarked on a modest modernization.

The Philippine Navy also acquired two brand new warships from South Korea, also for about P18 billion.

The acquisition of the FA-50s marked the PAF's return to the supersonic age a decade after retiring the last of its US-made F5 fighter jets in 2005.

wonder if those rebels/terrorist will take it down with manpads

Maintenance training of FZ219 rocket launcher for Fennec at PT Dirgantara Indonesia

Aug 28, 2016

Members of the Indonesian Army  followed a training course on the maintenance of the rocket launcher FZ219 (12- tubes), calibre 2.75” (70 mm) at the premises of our indonesian partner PT Dirgantara Indonesia (PTDI) in Bandung in August 2016.

As part of a strategic industrial agreement signed with Airbus Helicopters, PT Dirgantara Indonesia (PTDI) has installed the mission equipment, including FZ rocket launchers FZ219, on five H125M (formerly Fennec AS555) helicopters  at its in-country facilities in Bandung.

The H125M helicopters is part of a fleet of twelve H125M helicopters to form an Indonesian Army light-attack squadron. 8 units will be placed in the 12th Attack Squadron Waytuba, South Sumatra, 3 units in Tanjungredep Attack Squadron-13, East Kalimantan, and 1 unit in the Army Pusdik Flight Semarang, Central Java.

Not wrong Thailand military sercice are compulsory but only you are choosen by drawing lots.

Probably not. Nowadays small, fast jets very very hard to shoot down using MANPADS, especially not the state-of-the-art older ones like SA-7 or Stinger.

But then again, this is the Philippines we're talking about.

EPI signs support contract for TP400 engines powering Malaysia’s A400M military aircraft

March 27, 2017 - Europrop International GmbH (EPI) has signed an In-Service Support (ISS) agreement with the Malaysian government for the TP400 turboprop engines powering the Royal Malaysian Air Force's A400M military transport aircraft, at the 2017 Langkawi International Maritime & Aerospace Exhibition (LIMA). The agreement was signed by Christophe Bruneau, President of EPI, and Dato' Sri Abdul Rahim Mohamad Radzi, Secretary General at the Malaysian Ministry of Defense.

This contract follows a Memorandum of Agreement (MoA) signed on March 21 by EPI and Global Turbine Asia (GTA), a Malaysian joint venture with Safran that provides maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO) services for helicopter and airplane engines.

EPI and GTA provide support services for the TP400 engines' fleet powering the Royal Malaysian Air Force's four A400M airlifters. The first phase of the contract runs until the end of October 2017, leading to the second phase, when GTA will become the prime contractor for these support services.

Under the terms of the agreement, EPI and GTA will provide local support services. GTA's Subang facility already deploys a Customer Support Representative (CSR), Field Support Representatives (FSR) and Logistics Support Representatives (LSR) to ensure that the Royal Malaysian Air Force continues to receive timely support for their engines.

"We are delighted to continue to build a successful partnership with GTA, which enables us to provide local support for the TP400 engine fleet," said Christophe Bruneau, President of EPI.

EPI will support GTA to obtain Approved Maintenance Organization (AMO) certification from EPI, as well as certifications from the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA-Part145) and the Malaysian airworthiness authority DGTA.
