By gawds the number of Noobs we have in this topic is
ridiculous.

already said it's not a straight forward thing. You want to
knock-out air fields you must first be -able- to hit them.
Arty for accuracy? Are there enough batteries to hit them all
simultaneously. How do you conduct battle damage assessment? If you
hit civilian - boo boo-.
Astros for runway craters? I dont even move where that will land.
Air strike, your planes have to enter our air space first.
BTW, if you shift troops that far south into johore, it's
definitely noticeble by at least -12 hours- You think unlimited
ammo/fuel like C&C?
First strike is the aggressor and you have to declare war even if
you did it after you fired, it's an international boo boo. We do
not take our -externally placed- assets into consideration for
immediate defense of our land. They can be our second strike
package though. That 20 odd tempest in Taiwan, wont make a real
difference, if they did, we wouldnt have permernantly park them
there.
No, even if our air fields are taken out temporarily, there's no
ability by any force in the region to prevent our immediate mob and
arming of perhaps 3 full strength divisions within 8 hours ready to
go.
--------------------------------------
Regarding the situation in Kalimantan, Indon probably have the
ground advantage. However, Fuel + other logistics will probably
reduce the entire assualt to infantry only after 72 hours. In 72
hours, for a HUGE forest like kalimantan is nothing. Our northern
neighbour will have plenty of space to absorb. Imagine Germany in
WWI trying to invade Russia in WWII with the same initial surprise
strike. That's what will happen.
Tripwire - Your troops "after finishing EM" aint going to teleport
over to W M to fight.
Ability for the Indon Navy to transport armour/troops using the
Malacca straits into W M whilst in the presence of the RMN is in an
even worse situation than China trying to invade Taiwan 10 years
ago.
Your ability is restricted to only risky heliops inface of CAP and
naval AA capabilities as well as rubber dinghy boats ala Japs @
singapore straits at night during WWII - one way trip with limited
supplies/food/ammo. Please dont talk about naval superiorty/subs.
I'm pretty sure the RMN is waaaaaaaaayy better right now. Not to
mention your angle of approaches are limited and predictable as you
have to avoided heavily RSN patrolled waters unless you want to
draw us into a two front war.
I would look forward to seeing F-16s Dfing MiG 29s. I'm very sure
it will all be captured on E2Cs for examination/reference.
AFAIK, the amount of Anti armour HH/infantry usable weapons in W M
is even enougn for me to worry. Using those to handle RC capable
armoured indo troops is definitely not a problem. Regarding armour
ops. Indon uses mainly the AmX-13, some partially upgraded to SM1
standard by us i think. I see the CIS AGL 40 in the picture of an
APC. I must remind you. All armoured ops -must be supported with
fuel and ammo- What logistical resources does the Indon army have
now? I do not know but i doubt it sufficient for an armoured thrust
to be used effectively.
Any suddenly conflict with low levels of preparation will come to a
halt earlier than any expectations.
Fuel, Food, Ammo and Communication (+ batteries) are important to
keeping armies both defending and attacking moving.
Without which, little boys dreams of "I pwnz you, lolz" and "I'm
the |3373$7" aint ever going to happen.
So if you want to talk about war, please go do your research
first.
Edit: Pictures use to tell a thousand words. But nowadays, you have
PS, so pictures only tell a few words in our time even those few
might not even be accurate for that matter.
