Good jobs kfx the most fighter
BalasHapusThere is tandem seat version?
BalasHapusYes, single and tandem
HapusGood progress for KF-X / IF-X....
BalasHapusgood progress indeed. let's hope it will go well until the end and doesn't face any major issue.
HapusTheir major issue is the AESA. let's hope they can complete their development AESA, or US change their minds.
Hapusheard about it as well. they're trying to develop it by themselves right.
HapusLets hope for the best result.
HapusIs this part of the F-35 offset agreement or is it a purely commercial deal? Don't see the F-35 mentioned, but they also didn't mention the F-16 which they supplied too.
BalasHapusSabar menanti.. Tabah sampe tua...
BalasHapusxizizi😄
Doain aja cepet langsung ke mk2 dan mk3. Haha
HapusProyek kfx proyek teraneh di dunia gak masuk akal sudah sudah 1 tahun lebih mandek ..kabarnya jalan lagi . Stop di lanjutkan kembali tergantung yg pinya tehnology paman sam . Kalau sang peminpin jelii pintar dan tegas proyek multi $$ million dolar di invetegasi evaluasi bukan puja puji asal proyek jalan hasilnya duwit rakyat tekor triliunan .
BalasHapusElah ga usah banyak cingcong lah kalo ga ngerti development process dari teknologi. Dikira bikin stealth fighter barang 2-3 tahun selesai? Amerika aja perlu 15 tahun lebih buat bikin F-22 Raptor dan F-35 udah mulai dari tahun 1996 sampai sekarang belum selesai. Padahal Amerika kurang duit dan pengalaman apa buat design fighter jet? Ini proyek baru 3 tahunan aja udah bawel mulu lu.
HapusJelas tunggu US kasih teknologi (di luar 4 yang diban) kalo ngga biaya dan waktunya makin besar lagi bacot juga lu.
Lagipula buat proyek stealth uang yang dikeluarin Indonesia ga seberapa tolol. Amerika udah keluarin 1 triliun dollar buat F-35 dan sampe sekarang belum beres. Dikira bikin pesawat cuma coret-coret sketsa terus dirakit kali. Idiot banyak omong.
nice counter. just want to ask, i thought the kfx/ifx is a 4.5 gen fighter not 5th gen? furthermore, the development will surely face issues. even america which is one of the best in aviation industry face a lot of problem. the same thing also apply to russia with the pak fa and china with their j20 and j31. if you are not willing to face problem than how will you ever advance forward.
