how cool

A technology tree formed by a multi-country alliance seems like a good plan, but Gaijin still needs to carefully consider the possible political sensitivities.

no it doesn’t its a GAME

now that the aircraft has arrived in Jakarta to participate in the parade, I don’t think the camo is “secret” anymore

why is this one not the one applied to Rafale and let the rafale camo be used on the Flankers? These sharp angles fit Rafale aesthetic better ngl.

the standard seems to be the blobby grey which we are already seeing in the Rafale and the aforementioned T-50i a couple of post back

only two of the Su-30s got this camo (08 & 09), so it doesnt seem to be a standard practice thing (could be wrong though)

Also I believe the Sukhois will be retired in the near future since the spare parts and general readyness are quite low (Just like our Mi-35P)

Then you need to add captain Torres in the corner.

The Facebook page of the Royal Thai Air Force’s 23rd Wing posted numerous photos to mark the 25th anniversary of the Alpha Jet’s service in the Thai military.

This is a rare photo of an Alpha Jet carrying a cluster bomb. (maybe BL755)

Indonesia has expressed interest in acquiring the Korean GPS-Guided Bomb (KGGB) kit and has requested a formal presentation on the product from South Korea’s LIG Nex1.

Sources close to the matter have confirmed to Janes that a presentation on the bomb kit was subsequently made in Jakarta on 30 September after Indonesian interest in the product increased following its first combat deployment in the Cambodia-Thailand border conflict in July.

According to attendance documents that were provided to Janes by one of the sources, the meeting was attended by 26 senior Indonesian Air Force officials including leaders from the strategic planning unit and commanders of Wing 3, Wing 14, Wing 15, and Wing 16 of Air Squadron 3.

The KGGB is a precision-guided glide bomb kit designed to convert conventional Mk 82 general-purpose bombs into long-range, high-accuracy munitions.

It was developed jointly by South Korea’s Agency for Defense Development (ADD) and LIG Nex1, and it integrates a GPS-based satellite navigation system with an inertial navigation system (INS).

The kit centres around a pair of foldable wings and a guidance module that attaches to the bomb, allowing it to glide over extended distances without propulsion.

The Royal Thai Air Force (RTAF) deployed KGGB-equipped Mk 82 bombs from F-16 fighter aircraft in the July 2025 conflict, targeting Cambodian military positions including command posts, ammunition depots, and BM-21 Grad multiple rocket launcher systems.

It marked the first known operational use of the KGGB system in combat.

Indonesian Armed Forces Anniversary Defile

Defence equipment showcase starts at 2:47:00, no tanks though, a bit dissapointing

Gotta be honest this year is quite bad

  • tanks not participating
  • the public blocking the road so the vehicles cant pass (which i guess is the reason why they cancelled the tanks)
  • we got people literally crossing the road during the showcase and again, blocking roads

Good call ending it early for safety, but still dissapointing to watch


we also got some confirmation of new stuff coming in at 2:55:00, so things which are for certain we will bring.

  • KHAN TBM
  • More Harimau MT
  • 35mm Air Defence gun
  • MANPADS [unspecified but most likely turkish-made]
  • KRI Belati [Missile Boat]
  • FMP “Frigate Merah Putih” (Red & White Frigate) Ship [General Purpose Frigate]
  • ISTIF-class Frigate (General Purpose Frigate)
  • Giuseppe Garibaldi Aircraft Carrier
  • KCR-70 Turkey (Fast Missile Boat)
  • OPV-class (Raja Haji Fisabilillah-class Offshore Patrol Vessel)
  • KRI Prabu Siliwangi 321 (Thaon di Revel/Brawijaya-class Frigate)
  • Rafale jet
  • UCAV Anka drone

I legit surprised when the announcer said that
So Indonesia really gonna acquired that retired Italian Carrier (which presumably only comes without the Harriers)

If it’s the case they might have South Korea as a sub TT for Japan( yes I know they said no, but as I said things change)

same leaker said that south korea currently is planned/ considered as a US sub tree
