Expanded List of Indonesian Vehicles - Air

[NFrost51]

tbf the air force museum scale model has it as a roundel on top

the auri text is put below the port-side on the actual aircraft

[NFrost51]

@Indo_Pilot knows a lot more than I do on this, so ill put my hands up for this one

[Indo_Pilot]

B-26 were used into mid-1970s, by which AURI had been renamed into TNI-AU. For example this abandoned B-26 in Malang AFB has “TNI-AU” text under the left/port wing

[NFrost51]

The B-26B does indeed have that AURI text on the bottom of the wing

also i am a bit confused. In-game it has the racks for the SURA-D rockets, but the option to mount them is nonexistent. Hopefully its just a WIP

bugreported just in case, here it is if yall wanna check it out

Personally was hoping it would be “TNI-AU” text so that it fits the East Timor invasion period markings haha

Clear photo of Mi-35M from Keris Group

[CharAznable3]

Keris group is a cool name

named after a knife do they have a emblem?

[Indo_Pilot]

Keris is also an abbreviation for “Kajian Pertahanan Strategis” (Strategic Defense Studies), they’re basically a think-tank

[NhifanHafizh]

MAWS and DIRCM, it’ll be more advanced than the one currently ingame?

[CharAznable3]

They do have the knife in there logo so they knew what they where doing. Could be a nice decal suggestion.

12 J-10CE before February 2027.

But I don’t expect it too be added to Japan TT just like VT-4. It’ll upset the Chinese :v

Dhimas on X: "So from what i see this new Hind are equipped with L-370 Vitebsk suite, consisting of MAWS and wow.. a DIRCM, a really enriching update. Also noteworthy the optical sight are new gyrostabilized GOES type instead of older Raduga sight." / X

it has MAWS, already different than the in-game Mi-35m

a perfect addition for the would-be-very-strong-in-the-future 10.3/10.7 lineup no doubt

[Indo_Pilot]

They’re an NGO, I’m sure their logo is copyrighted

[AspandaIV]

Is that a glass nose or is that a hard nose but the metal shell part gone

[Indo_Pilot]

Hard nose, originally the particular aircraft has a 6-guns nose

[AspandaIV]

Good to know

Thanks for the clarification

Found images of what looks like bell 204 being displayed with a soviet UB-16-57.

Can anyone ID the rocket launcher at the left-most on the ground?

Redirecting...

additional image showcasing that the heli carries a FFAR tube and two machine guns (Light-barrel 50 cal i think?)

[Indo_Pilot]

Air Force on their book “Sejarah TNI Angkatan Udara 1980-1989” also tested LAU-68 launchers for FFAR on their S-58T helicopter. No photos though.

The book also said something about joint development with the Army Aviation on installing rifle-caliber machine guns and LAU-51 launchers on Army helicopter. I wonder if the Air Force Bell 204 was used as test bed for this project, as it would be similar to Army’s Bell 205.

@NFrost51

Light-barrel 50 cal i think?

found a zoomed in image

Redirecting...

barrel shroud seems to be a M1919? not entirely sure though

[NFrost51]

here’s something interesting, Indonesian Apache pilots was seen sim training on carrier landings for the inbound KRI Sriwijaya (Ex-ITS Garibaldi)

Instagram

why Apaches though? 🤔
