In which plan does a 3rd batch of LCA happen?

This post has been edited by alexz23: Oct 4 2021, 02:16 PM

Hopefully it should not.

From the panglima TUDM speech, those additional Hornets to be flown by 17 Squadron.

LCA/FLIT to be flown by 15 squadron for FLIT, and current 6 and 9 Squadrons for LCA.


By the way, an additional info.

It is said that Kuwait offered Tunisia the price of just 1 million dollars for each of the Hornets.

"24 Buah Helikopter Baru Untuk Ganti “Nuri” – Panglima TUDM - Defence Security Asia" https://defencesecurityasia.com/tudm-helikopter-nuri-ganti/

12 new helicopter RMK13 2026-2030
12 new helicopter RMK14 2031-2035

And immediately these new helicopters are going to be obsolete compared to new FVL that is going to be operational mid 2030s. The FVL performance target are speeds of 230 kn (260 mph; 430 km/h), carry up to 12 troops, operate in "high-hot" conditions at altitudes of 6,000 ft (1,800 m) and temperatures of 95 °F (35 °C), and have a combat radius of 263 mi (424 km) with an overall unrefueled range of 527 mi (848 km). The speed and range target for FVL are basically 2x of the current helicopters, of which blackhawks are the benchmark.

You got your KAF legacy hornet numbers wrong.

China Wing Loong II drone with maritime patrol / ASW capability


.


no. 1
Maritime search radar

no. 2
ESM pod/ AIS pod?

no. 3
Sonobuoy launcher pod to track submarines. similar pods I have suggested to be installed on TUDM CN-235 to add ASW capability.

no. 4
glide bomb

Instead of looking at new conventional submarines, used submarines (of which the budget was already approved) or submarine rescue vessel, the Indonesian navy is now looking at compact submarines.

Japan finally has an operational aircraft carrier capable of hosting fighters, the first time since WW2.

Ironically the first fighter flying off JS Izumo is a USMC fighter jet!

those are uro vamtacs.

basically all EC725, EC225 fuselage and tailboom is from PTDI.

Similarly malaysia exports more than 1 billion dollars worth of components for Airbus and Boeing every year. Malaysia is also one of the largest aerospace composite components manufacturer in the world.

not for the cougar

that is for the dauphin. converted into ASW panther version in PTDI.

UMW aerospace never did composites. It was established specifically to supply metallic jet engine components to RR.

Even though we don't export whole completed aircraft like Indonesia, our aerospace export value is like 10x of indonesia.

indonesian aerospace export value is only around 100 million dollars annually.

malaysian aerospace export value is more than 1 billion dollars annually.

your maths does not contribute anything to complete those gowinds.

those type 31 is good. we can get them when we complete our gowinds.

Why is do you always raise this issue up?

That is perfectly normal

US Navy destroyer, USS Arleigh Burke DDG51, was built in 1987. It is still operational and not planned for retirement.

Indonesian ahmad yani class frigates was built in the 1960s, and 5 of them still operational now. All of them more than 50 years of age.

If they want to be self sufficient, they need to make the N219 like we build buses. Creating something like prasarana in malaysia to buy hundreds of N219 to be used all over Indonesia. Giving subsidised flying service to rural indonesians. If not it will not be a self sufficiency drive.

On the other hand, Indonesia also wants to embed themselves into the global supply chain.

But currently what they do is mostly low tech metal fuselage and wing components. also those components are for low volume products like EC225/EC225M that sells like 2 dozen per year.

malaysia supplies components for almost all airbus and boeing aircraft that is being built annually.

Indonesia are now trying to get ToT for aerospace composite manufacturing, something malaysia has done for around 30 years now, and now among the largest aerospace composite manufacturer in the world.
