for some reason didnt see the “new” notification on the categories for this
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!
need added armor package now.
Someone did the funny and put AIM-120 on decommissioned TAV-8S.
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

some images of the Harimau MT internal crew compartment (with a combat-gear crew)
Video version (additional footage of the Harimau) can be seen in the CavBat 5 Profile video

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.

on another news ID is interested in getting JP submarines, apparently the target is the taigei-class.
Excerpt
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)

Is this the AIM-120?
Looks like it. Is that the Malaysian one?
Sadly its fake.
Yes but its more than likely a photoshop.
Yeah. Although I can see it being done one day, afterall the Chinese added PL-12 and PL-8B to their Su30s. What extent of change though IDK.
just a heads up, from now on i will mostly only post about future ID defence equipment here (as well as recent arrivals & such), if its current/old vehicles and the like, it would be posted in the Expanded ID Ground list
for example things like this:
found out recently that we had tested an rcws with a modified amx-13 chassis in 2009-10. this vehicle is actually two different vehicles, one earlier model, one later
late:
early:
the late version’s rcws mount is a bit more protected, its engine fan mount is also a lot bigger compared to the early model. the upper glacis is entirely modified in the late variant with a shallow angle (notice the V shape upper glacis instead of the straight taper on the early variant) as well as with the late model all of the cameras & sighting systems is placed differently.
Its hard enough to find HD images of the vehicle, but specifications of it is a lot harder, so if anyone knows anything about this program, feel free to let me know!
