    Because you're the one that brought it up, Exarch. There are way too many chinks in your debating armor for me to take you seriously, Exarch.

    Bringing up Indonesia and then telling someone else to look it up, for example, is a great big chink.

    sources?

    man, is this the best that white anglo supremacists can come up with? sounds to me like you've got a massive PRC shaped gaping hole in your defences,

    but not to deflect from the topic at hand; how oh how are the white anglo supremacists in america going to explain when australians fall to hard Chinese pounding?

    They have very few capable combat aircraft and even less capable pilots. Australia has a much better navy if you want to factor that in as well.

    There is a series of books suitable for you on the topic and it was recently made it into a movie.



    But yeah, a few decades ago this would have been a new and innovative idea.

    Indonesia a threat to Australia? I think Indonesia is too busy dealing with the fact Chinese ships are fishing illegal in their waters and Chinese coast guard ships ramming Indonesian ships attempting to stop the illegal Chinese fisherman.

    Indeed and with their planes coming from different countries they also lack interoperability within their own airforce. The planes they do have use such different systems that it would prove difficult to use them in a proper war scenario. The planes they do have a currently poorly maintained I would suspect only a small fraction of their aircraft would actually be combat capable.

    The Air Force, Bogdan said, extended the life of each F-35A jet by two years. Those six years will cost more because they will add 1.6 million hours and six years of operations. (He didn’t have the Department of Navy numbers with him). What does that mean? The old Selected Acquisition Report (SAR) estimate for the 55 years of expected F-35 service to 2064 was $1016.5 million. The now 60-year estimate out to 2070 is $1123.8 million.

    Seems a tad optimistic.
