These Mirage 2000 are for stop gap pending Rafale deliveries.

Taiwan complained m2k maintenance is ridiculously expensive.
India spent huge to upgrade and still spend huge just to maintain its small super aging current fleet.

These type of stop gap waste of money. The F-16s were much more cost-effective.

Logistical nightmare will ensue

Mirage, Flankers, KF-21, F-15EX, Rafale, F-16, Golden Eagle, Hawk....

Having KF-21, F-15EX and Rafale as future front-liners are enough.

Well Indonesia really needs alot of fighters due to their Large size


Indonesia area is size of Europe

kek there's a reason why countries were dumping their mirages 2000s left and right.

Aww man, there goes RMAF's dream of having a full squadron f-18.

What even is this?

https://www.thejakartapost.com/indonesia/20...irage-jets.html.

State of the Bundeswehr

Germany's armed forces only have around 20,000 high explosive artillery shells left, magazine Der Spiegel wrote on Monday citing confidential defence ministry papers prepared to convince the budget committee of the need for urgent purchases.

Countries like Germany have rushed to send supplies of 155mm artillery rounds used by howitzers to Ukraine in the wake of its invasion by Russia in February 2022, running down stocks for their own defence.

Germany's military needs to build up an inventory of some 230,000 shells by 2031 to comply with NATO goals to have enough artillery to withstand 30 days of intensive combat, Der Spiegel wrote.

The defence ministry did not immediately reply to a request for comment.

The ministry aims to present the budget committee with nine contracts for the accelerated purchase of artillery and tank ammunition in coming months, Der Spiegel wrote.

u joke but taiwan is considering jv with either turkish or Israel company to upgrade their M60 which will include ERA, gun upgrade (to 120mm/44cal), new fcs and redesigned turret

OMG just let the M60 die a peaceful death already

M60 did a better job at absorbing ATGM fire than 2A4 during Turkey's syria adventure.

Pipul be shitting on Russia taking out its T-62 out of storage while the M60 is still being used in active duty all this time.

As evidenced by the name, the Russian T-62 tank is 2 years younger than the M60

I saw their rehearsal only recently:






RSAF showing the F16Vs. Come 2026, they can also show f35s.

First time I saw the derby Er on spyders. Fyi, both RSAFs Aster 30s and Spyder are Anti Ballistic missile capable. Spyder has a dual CRAM capability.

Notice the leo2Sg is now rated as a 70 tonner.

And the Hunter is now rated as a 35 tonner. The medium tank version will probably hit 40+ tons.

I derby er - open source puts range at between 100km to 140km.( Surface launched - 41km)

Sky spear 6th gen missile - longer range than I derby. May exceed even amraam120Ds.

Form factor is smaller than I derby.

Obviously meant for the F35s weapons bay i.e. Israels f35i or current I derby users. Other aircrafts can carry it too.

I derby is both short range and medium to long range missile at the same time. Need more details on Sky Spear.

According to open source or SAF, its new artillery piece will be introduced end this year or next. It will replace both the Primus sph and the fh2000 155/52 field howitzers. Looks like Sgs artillery will consist of the 120mm SRAMS mortar systems, himars and the new Sigma (?) artillery.

Note; Sigma is using the l52 a1 barrel which gives added range - as much as up to 60km or more depending on the artillery round.

In future, the l52 barrel can be upgraded to the l60 barrel with range in excess of 80km. It can compete with mlrs in terms of range.

Edit: Sg also has the Pegasus 155mm/39 cal light field howitzers. So the stable of artillery precision fires will be the 120mm SRAMs, Pegasus 155mm/39cal field howitzers, Sigma 155mm/52cal SPHs and Himars.

Sgs Pegasus 155mm/39cal light field howitzer:

Sgs latest SRAMs mk2:




https://militaryleak.com/2021/07/08/singapo...-variant/?amp=1

Rapid firing with high accuracy and range of about 10km. (Note: latest 120mm rounds go as far as 12km to 15km e.g. iron sting or pgmm).

PRsM comes under the category of Short Range Artillery Ballistic Missile. (Note: short range in ballistic missile lingo as being less than 500km I think though I note PRsM can go as far as 600+km and possibly 1000+km in future).
