BI = Macan
BI/BM = Harimau
BM = Pak Belang

Laser beam riding SAM can't be fooled by flares and IR jammer...but effectiveness can be reduced by fog and heavy rain. Need capable operator to track fast, maneuvering air targets.

So, there's always drawback...

Good for eradicating snipers and MG nests....unless someone uses .50 cal anti material rifle

Of course...any regular APC and tactical vehicle will be shredded by ma deuce, dushka and kord

Finally have something comparable to Terrex and AV8

Low RCS airframe, AESA radar and extra long range AAM like Meteor...these are already basic requirements today.

Su-35 has huge RCS, high-powered PESA radar that's easy to detect by RWR and regular-ranged RVV-AE missile....somewhat inadequate, TBH

RCS comparable to Rafale at 1 m2 is probably enough...unlike Flankers at 12 - 15 m2. KFX also has four recessed hardpoints under the fuselage to partially hide AAM...

Not stealthy, but should reduce detection range.

Minute 1:00

MEF program stalls under Jokowi administration. Because infrastructure spending is boosted to $30bn each year.

Wherever there are tanks in the jungle. Need to have friendly infantry at least 500m at the front and both flanks, if not, will be easy target for unguided AT weapon.

Good thing is, ATGM will be less effective. If there's laser warning can more easily hide.

Last Monday, around 6PM, I drove near Baluran. I saw these two Leopards returned to their battalion base at Pasuruan.

SS2 rifle is OP

This happens at the section 5 of the Trans Papua project. OPM often insists that West Papua isn't developed, so they attack these infrastructure projects.

Central government is subsidizing West Papua more than $5bn each year, more than what they get from West Papuan natural resources. OPM knows that their days are numbered.

An area that big with population equal to Singapore...just around 5mn, with density only 12 people per 1 km square. Today, far more Papuians in TNI than in OPM

Using civilian GPS is OK....accuracy within 4 meters....can still hit a building.

Yeah.... probably there should be a backup system of inertial guidance and three gyroscopes, with 500m CEP....may still hit a city block.

LAPAN says that RHAN 450 is equipped with GPS telemetry, gyroscope and accelerometer. Could be still trackable under certain limits

If true, this will be second supersonic AShM after Yakhont...but I think Kh-31 owned by both TUDM and TNI-AU is better....much more responsive and have longer range, if we include the effective range of Su-30

I wonder if it can support Aster and Sylver VLS...not so sure about procuring Mk 41 VLS and SM-2

Mk 41 and Sylver A-50 has similar length....about 5 meters.

16 initial units...good for replacing F-16 Block 15 OCU...shitty F-16 variant with no BVR capability, good only for airshow and bombing insurgents

What's NTG? Boeing T-X?
