Indonesia also buying Leopard Tanks

[Froggy]

as of now, i doubt any of the SAF UAVs are armed. mainly use for reconnaissance, i seen them often while on 4D3N tour of LCK during ICTs. while it 4-5 years since i completed my NS liability but i dun think SAF can upgrade so fast. not i see them no up, dun say hellfire missile, i doubt current UAVs can drop any dumb munition. u must remember their primary purpose is for reconnaissance, much better to remain undetected while direct arty fire onto the target. of course if i a useless pengkia can see the UAVs during ICT, that only mean the UAVs not really as good as the saf pioneer magazine print.

HA! You just reminded me we still have a funny magazine. Thanks. Almost forgot about this.

1. SAF UAVs may not carry the 114s but how you know they're not armed?

2. Don't compare SAF's UAVs to the Americans. It's obvious they are more advance, flying UAVs in Middle East from Langley. Our theatre of operation is close by.

We are talking about tank-killing drones, so yes, in the SAF arsenal, the Hellfire is probably the only missile with that capability, as an airborne anti-tank. Secondly, if our drones were armed with weapons, you can rest assured that the SAF will be bragging about it through their in-house magazine and via the media. After all, the SAF is a deterrent, they are supposed to hao lian to our neighbours about our capabilities, not hush it up.

Not comparing, just pointing out that the SAF does not have combat drone capabilities, and the only way they can get it in the near future is ask the Americans for it. That said, I don't think the Predator drones that is the USAF workhorse can fly direct from Langley to the Middle East, their range is too short.

It's one thing to have drones, another to have drones that actively take out tanks. So far, there's no battle with MBTs vs drones--def not in Afghanistan.

Actually, the party getting the fattest are the countries pushing our nations to an arms race.. they have done it with koreans, mid east, european countries, south america.. etc.. Now its time to milk the SE Asians..

Ya fight who. Please note that like Malaysia and Thailand, Indonesia make purchases of arms to fatten the generals, not to defend the country. Why 104 tanks? Of course la for easy cannibalism for spares like the Malaysian aircraft and Thai's tanks and Grippens.

they need to push sales and show growth in revenue and margins. otherwise, many high paid union workers' (voters for politicians who are bribed by lobbyists hired by military industrialists pushing expensive toys) jobs are affected for lack of orders and production.

2-star general can garang with 16 mbt's. 3-star with 64. and 4-star with 256. 100 mbt's are great for securing a bloated budget, so one can fill garang and important, not impotent. they are almost halfway there. we think suv's, they think mbt's. neighbor has lexus, i must have land rover. :p

No idea why would Indonesia need MBT except to line pockets. The country share few borders. And around these borders we are talking about thick jungle, heavy rain, soft clay soil. The Leopard given its weight than would likely sink.

 

[sleaguepunter]

like frog said, it will look impressive when the Leo2 run over protesters at jakarta city centre.

 

[Equalisation]

Agree. Medan has two.:o

They are defensive. In case Singapore wants to invade Indonesia.

Ask you the other way round: Why have Leopard tanks in Singapore when everywhere is so built up? What use are they? Leo 2s are meant for open field training.
