Lebih jauh Kasau menyampaikan, TNI Angkatan Udara tengah mengembangkan kekuatan serta meningkatkan kemampuan untuk mewujudkan TNI AU yang berkelas, kuat, andal dan disegani. Berbagai alutsista baru akan memperkuat jajaran TNI AU seperti pesawat tempur Sukhoi Su-35, pesawat angkut Hercules tipe-J, pesawat AWACS, jet tanker, pesawat amfibi, helikopter angkut berat dan combat SAR, serta pesawat nirawak/UAV. Pengembangan kekuatan tersebut tentunya memerlukan insan udara masa depan yang mumpuni untuk mengawakinya.
indons talk better take it with a pinch of salt... until there's a pic/vid of the asset in their hangar... same goes with peenoise and yindia... msia to a certain extent
Lets see based from the news: • Su-35 Fighter Jets --> Done Deal. • C-130J Super Hercules ---> https://www.angkasareview.com/2018/07/29/tn...sia-tahun-2019/ • Aerial Refueling Tanker ---> https://www.janes.com/article/77173/indones...ker-requirement Indonesian Air Force Technical Review Report concluded in favor with the KC-46A Pegasus over the Airbus MRTT. • Heavylift & Combat SAR Helicopter --> The Air Force wants more AW101. • Amphibian Aircraft --> Be-200 MOU signed between Beriev and PT Infinity Global Mandiri. The competitor is the US-2 Shinmaywa.
lol.. i mean in terms of declaring intention to procure.. 80% of the time it doesnt happen or a watered down deal is done
Don't compare Indonesia & Philippine lah.
I remember when news of Indonesia intention to buy the AH-64E Apache everbody was laughing. From the intention to buy the Apache Guardian, Leopard 2RI, Javelin ATGM, NASAMS Medium SAM...etc all became a reality.

i support the plan for TNI AL but others, i dont think so. the TNI AL increasing vessel and support facilities is a good thing and will bring development to the neighborhood so its good. for other i dont see it become better. dont know what the higher ups see.
wedgetail for AWACS ???that is super surprise
sorry if i offend you at comment before. it just this thing takes a lot of times and it build a lot of unnecessary antagonize when visiting the Indonesian forum by its user making any discussion just frustrating and inconvenience.
Not at all. Actually i wasn't referring to you.
Besides replacing outdated military assets, Indonesia needs more assets for the Armed Force to cover its vast land, sea and airspace.
The Indonesian Air Force is forming 3 new Fighter Squadron. The candidates are F-16V, Gripen and FA-50 with the Rafale and Eurofighter pitching in also. The F-16V is the favorite.
Di Asia Tenggara, beberapa Tentera Udara memiliki beberapa sistem pertahanan udara antaranya:
Indonesia NASAMS 2 Mid Range SAM Chiron MANPADS QW-3 MANPADS Skyshield AAG (Twin Oerlikon 35mm)
AFAIK...the list should be like this.
Indonesia NASAMS 2 Mid Range SAM Chiron MANPADS QW-3 MANPADS Skyshield AAG (Twin Oerlikon 35mm) Grom VSHORAD Mobile RBS-70 Mistral VSHORAD Mobile Starstreak VSHORAD Mobile TD-2000B Mobile

Nice pic of the Indonesian Army Aviation AH-64E Apache Guardian attack helicopter. Based from the Indonesian Government Working Plan Budget Report for year 2019, the Indonesian Defence Ministry to buy another batch of Apache Guardians. Photo credit to Sandriani Permani.
Singapore island, aka the Little Red Dot, seen from the perspective of the Singapore Army's crack Red Lions Commando parachute display team. This photo mozaic was stitched together from a video that shows the commandos rehearsing for this evening's 53rd National Day celebrations in Singapore.
On the far right (east) of the landmass is Changi. To the left (west) is Jurong and Tuas, with Pandan Reservoir visible as the glistening patch near the top left. The green patch of the central catchment area with the freshwater reservoirs can also be seen.
From east to west, about 50km. North to south, a mere 22km.
You are looking at the most densely defended country in Southeast Asia. Within the field of view of the Red Lions, the city-state has the: Most number of armoured fighting vehicles in Southeast Asia.
Heaviest concentration of tube and rocket artillery.
Biggest number of combat engineer bridging rafts.
Deepest underground ammunition depot.
Largest fleet of fast landing craft.
Extensive naval sealift.
More combat warplanes, hunter-killer submarines and MBT types than the neighbours.
Region's highest density of SAMs.
Neighbourhood's only counter rocket artillery and mortar (C-RAM) system.
Unrivalled military training arrangements globally.
And yet, critically vulnerable. See for yourself: No strategic depth.
A currency backed by no natural resources.
Open border with the home shore minutes away from the world's busiest sea lane.
Exposed to artillery, special forces and rapid deployment parachute forces.
Lack of economic hinterland.
High density of ageing population.
Virtually no room to manoeuvre on home ground.
Heavy reliance on open access to sea and air trade routes.
Your back towards the sea any way you face.
Sleep well at night?
Many of us do, blissfully unaware of Singapore Armed Forces and Home Team units serving as the city-state's sentinels whose sensors watch above and beyond the border, and can see beyond the obvious.
I was not aware the it is already quite advance in testing stage...they could literally build the MPF now if they want.
Once again ST is going up against industry giants. To me, getting this far - win or lose - is already a big plus to the prestige of ST. It attests to the quality and capability of SAF's network centric platforms.
When inducted into the SAF, the MPF will be the true replacements for the AMX-13 tanks; perhaps with a 120mm gun for commonality.
Interesting that it seems everybody from SAIC/ST Kinetics MPF, Otokar Tulpar Light Tank and Pindad/FNSS Medium tank are using the same Cockerill 3105 Turret.

As a fire support vehicle, it is great for urban operations with high and low angles of fire.
Hmmm...I do not know why you keep calling these vehicles medium tanks as if all these vehicles are tanks. These are 30 ton class armored vehicles with 105mm cannons no matter what design configuration they come in. They are not tanks. Is the J26 ton apanese Type 16 a tank with a 105mm cannon? Boxer and Puma IFVs are better armored and heavier than all 3 without 105mm cannons.
Is it for domestic consumption.. you "designed" tank? And what is a light tank? A IFV with 30mm/40mm cannon? I get it. It sounds good. Np. You have a 30 ton plus "tank".
You think that Pindad/FNSS is the only company calling its tracked vehicle with 105mm a Medium Tank?
So why is the tulpar a light tank and not a medium tank? I asked as to what constitute a medium or light tank. And why some 30 ton class armored vehicles aremt? You hit the nail on its head when you referenced sales/marketing pitches.
In no way does it detract from the main fact that these are essentially 30 ton class armored vehicles. You just put a large cannon on top. You can also call a jeep with a 105mm recoiless rifle a compact light tank.
Even the US Army is calling the MPF a light/medium tank. Heck even if they want to call it Super Tank let them be.

The army hopes a new MPF platform can quickly deploy with relatively low logistics demand but enough protection and firepower – likely a light- to medium-tank – to ensure the infantry's freedom of action.
In October 2016 GDLS unveiled a medium-weight tracked vehicle demonstrator, called the Griffin, which meshes elements of the turret and the 120 mm cannon from an M1A1/M1A2 Abrams main battle tank with the company's Ajax Scout Specialist Vehicle. However, the source told Jane’s that GDLS’ bid for MPF has evolved beyond the Griffin.
The Pindad/FNSS Medium Tank weight is 35 tons. It doesn't matter what you want to call it, the matters is that someone is buying this tracked vehicle and that is the Indonesian Army with first batch order of 100 units. The Philippine is also a potential export customer. You don't want your vehicle to be just a technology demonstrator.
