The AN/VRC-97 (the Green Monster)
For the majority that don't know what that is, it's an 84 pound cell phone that the U.S. Army still uses. There's nothing that says lets create pointless labour by using outdated equipment because manpower is cheaper then equipment like the AN/VRC-97

IIRC, it was Alexandria or someplace in that vicinity that had special counter-battery trebuchets mounted on towers on the city walls. These had 65 foot plus cantilevered arms, and they could put a 100 lb projectile well within 100 feet accuracy at a range of about two miles, and do it repeatedly at a few rounds per minute.
Needless to say, that would be rather discouraging for any poor slobs trying to maneuver any type of siege engines within range of the city walls.

Say what you want but what good has most of the former East Bloc crap in this thread done? If it were so awesome I would've expected Serbia and Iraq to do a little better than they did.

ANYTHING from The Punisher Weapon Systems... PWS RULES!.. depends what's your choice of weapons... Shotgun From Hell, The Sleep Watcher, Susie Q, Walls of Trust, Black Betty, Shrapnel Shower, Bottoms Up, The Back Bone or The Attacking Door.... or perhaps it's the new designs that are coming up.. who knows.. customized weapons for any kind of troops. Everything else is crap.

My favorite at the moment is the Predator drone. It flies about with no pilot and shoots things. I don't have a picture of it but you might know what it looks like since it's been on the news.
When is the F-22 supposed to be entering service?

Oh, the supercavitating one? That would be so cool if they get it to work without killing themselves. Might actually be able to do undersea fighters if the technology is fully developed.

Indonesia that much of a problem over there? I didn't think they they could scratch together that many pilots good enough to fly them. Your F-15s and F-16s will wipe the floor with them. Did I mention my sister helps make the AMRAAM missles? (Yeah, I know. The thought scares me too)

My god, we finally agree on something. Definitely the B-52!
Serb, so they have finally married the ZSU-23-4 and the SA-9 into one vehicle? Congratulations! Yesterday's hardware today. Yesterday's software, tomorrow.

The Trident 2 D5 missile.
Fired from a near-undetectable launch platform with a range of over 7000 klicks and can deposit up to 8 W88 warheads with a nominal yield of 300kT in a CEP of <150m.

It's true that Indonesia's training and technical know-how is lame. Nonetheless, I've been thinking about it a lot recently, and I've reached the conclusion that they're gonna be a problem.
The way I see it is: everybody over there is still furious about East Timor. Couple it with the rise of Islamic sentiment and Indonesia's history of invading neighboring countries for no apparent reason (Malaysia 1963, East Timor 1975) and you've got a powder keg.
Indonesia just bought four Su-30s and a couple of helicopters from Russia, for a total of about $100 million. This to me suggests that the military personalities who favor confrontation with the United States, Australia, and their allies are getting into the driver's seat.
Australia is still using the F-111 as the backbone of its fighter-bombers. The encouraging thing is the fact that half of Indonesia's existing navy and air force is unusable due to poor maintenance and neglect. Also, the distance factor is in Australia's favor. The Su-30 doesn't have the range to attack much further south of Brisbane, and that's assuming it can start from Irian Jaya (aka West Papua).
But I still worry about what would happen if Indonesia were to arm all the unemployed people (all 25% of its population) and send a human wave into Queensland.

That's a good point. 
I also just found this:
http://www.asiaweek.com/asiaweek/97/0801/cs5.html
It's a few years old, but even before the East Timor-related arms embargo Indonesia's air force looked pretty inferior.

Serb must want his ass stuffed with some napalm if he thinks his punny Rooskie AA guns can beat the Stratofortress.
