Not sure if it’s the Stingray with a cope cage, or if the cage is part of the structure or a vehicle behind the Stingray.

probably so that its easier to grind for people whos already done the heli tree, so you dont need to grind Mi-35P + apache
Survey of the airbase hosting said jets is already taking place, so its not exactly “No closer” is it
do keep in mind this part
Indonesian officials said this year one option is to review reviving plans to acquire the costly F-15EX fighter jets from Boeing Co.
The minister made the remarks as he was leaving a bilateral meeting with US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth.
hmm why is he saying its not close? Maybe its because he had that interview while he was leaving a meeting alongside US Defence Secretary Pete Hegseth. Probably dont wanna anger the US

Productive meeting today with Defense Minister Sjafrie Sjamsoeddin where we discussed deepening our defense ties. Indonesia is a valued partner and an anchor of regional stability. I look forward to welcoming him to the Pentagon soon.
F-15IDN deal (hopefully) done by 2027

If so then what’s the purpose of adding the Indonesian sub tree branch from the main Japanese line if it eventually goes to the Japanese main line anyway, rendering the sub-tree branch useless
Probably wanted to separate Western tech or eastern tech. Who knows, maybe they’re saving that spot for the other sub-tree helicopters for TH or MY.

Still waiting for the AH-6i to be delivered to the Thai military — the last photo surfaced a year ago.

I guess an Apache helicopter without the radar is like eating Sashimi without Wasabi. The radar is too useful especially now but I’m surprised I have not found much about other sensor packages for the Apache in general. Some other attack helicopters have what seem like better packages there. o-well
we cannot confirm or deny but we will confirm when we cannot deny but we will never deny/confirm. - military secrets are the most fleeting of any secrets. But we wont confirm that fact!

does anyone know what this missile thing is? From the early 80s/late 70s if that helps
from a glance i thought it was just the LRAC but on closer inspection it seems to be different

New ID Rafale T-0302 has been spotted, now we’re just missing the third airframe for the first batch
EDIT: 3rd one has been spotted, only without camouflage yet. So that completes all the first batch aircrafts. All Rafale F4 B

After 16 long years of being abroad, the Indonesian Marine Corps’ BTR has finally returned to the country after concluding its UN mission.
The BTR-80s Had already been replaced in Lebanon by the Pandur II/Cobra IFV, and they will likely remain there untill next year where the UNIFIL mission is officially done.

Now we have a photo of Stingray with wood on the side of the turret, likely the same place as the one with the cope cage

Apparently ID F-15EX details to be concluded in the following weeks. US Has a LOA due date for the F-15EX which is a few weeks from now, if the contract is not signed then its safe to assume the deal’s off

worth noting that we (somehow) can make the budget available for it, so if we want it we can get it. but ultimately the decision is on the head honcho.

EDIT:
Republikorp has partnered with UAE’s EDGE group to manufacture defence equipments domestically for the Indonesian Armed Forces.
The agreement encompasses transfer of technology (ToT), localised production, co-development initiatives, and a comprehensive modernisation programme for the Indonesian Armed Forces. Representing EDGE Group’s largest international programme to date, the total financing and procurement package amounts to USD 7 billion, provided through the UAE to advance Indonesia’s defence modernisation, technological capability, and industrial autonomy.
The collaboration includes a broad portfolio of advanced defence systems, notably the SKYKNIGHT air defence missile system, next-generation infantry fighting vehicles (IFVs), unmanned stealth missile boats, cyber defence, and small arms ammunition production capabilities, forming a cornerstone in Indonesia’s path towards defence self-reliance and the UAE’s global supply chain network.
Standout things include the SKYKNIGHT Air Defence Missile & the Next-Gen IFV (which is based on prior evidence, pressumed to be the Rabdan 8x8)
