Photographer Carl Richards captured these images of A35-003 taking off on its first flight, from Naval Air Station Joint Reserve Base Fort Worth, on December 1. The aircraft is due to be delivered to Luke Air Force Base, Arizona in early 2018 to be used for pilot and maintainer training, before being permanently relocated to Australia in 2020. A35-003, known to its manufacturer Lockheed Martin as AU-3, had its RAAF markings, including its 3 Squadron tail flashes, applied in early November, the final phase of the aircraft’s production process. 3 Squadron is due to become the first RAAF F-35 operational unit.

Japan to Pay Vietnam More Patrol Boats than Philippines?

21 Oktober 2017

Based on the credit package and the number of Japanese patrol boats pledged to help Vietnam with the Philippines, our ship's capacity will be larger.

In 2015, the Ministry of Transport and Communications of the Philippines (DOTC) announced that Japan had won a tender package for the production of 10 patrol boats under the South East Asian Nations Enhanced Marine Safety Assurance This.

The above package will cost about US $ 170 million, which will be around US $ 170 million from the Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA) and about US $ 30 million from the counterpart fund of the Philippine government.

In addition to the new shipbuilding plan, the project also includes the repair and upgrading process, sailors training, maritime transport and marine insurance. It is expected that the first ships will be delivered by 2016 and end in 2018.

Thus, each new Philippine patrol boat was valued at nearly $ 20 million, and as of now they have received the sixty-MMRV patrol vessel with a length of 40 meters, displacing about 300 tonnes.

Earlier this year, Shinzo Abe announced the decision to provide Vietnam with 6 new patrol boats.

At the same time, Japan continues to support the enhancement of the capacity of the Vietnam Coast Guard, concretizing the cooperation activities of the maritime law enforcement agencies of the two countries.

Kawamura Yasuhisa, spokesman for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Japan, said at a press conference Friday that the total value of six new Japanese ships provided to Vietnam was about 38.5 billion yen ($ 320 million) , with preferential loans from the Government of Japan to Vietnam.

It can be seen that six patrol boats for Vietnam need $ 320 million to build, while 10 MMRVs for the Philippines cost less than $ 200 million.

Based on the above two sources, it is highly probable that the Vietnamese vessels will have a larger water displacement than the Japanese vessels built for the Philippine Coast Guard, showing that your side has given you a decent incentive. large.

The construction of larger patrol boats in Japan is also justified because the MMRV that the Philippines has just received is equivalent to Vietnam's TT-400 - the class that we have fully mastered in construction technology in the country, no need to hire foreign.

Belajar Ulang Dari Indri Lidiawati : Hari Ini Saya Baca Ulang Lebih Dari 100 Artikelnya

Tidak terasa, Hingga waktu istirahat kantor lewat, mata saya masih terpaku pada layar monitor dan jari masih menekan tuts ke tombol "older posts" di blog Juragan Cipir. Sudah lebih dari 100 halaman atau artikel yang dibaca selama itu. Untungnya artikel-artikelnya pendek-pendek, jadi saya bisa membaca banyak selama waktu istirahat yang tidak panjang itu. Memang heran karena blog Juragan Cipir, kepunyaan Mbak Indri Lidiawati sendiri sudah lama sekali tidak diupdate. Rasanya sudah hampir 6 bulan sejak artikel terakhir diterbitkan di blog tersebut. Setelah itu tidak ada lagi tulisan baru yang masuk, baik dari si empunya atau para rekan sesama blogger. Situasinya sudah agak mirip kuburan karena perlahan tapi pasti forumnya pun ikut terimbas dan tidak ada lagi percakapan tentang apapun. Padahal dulu banyak sekali tanya jawab tentang Adsense atau blog. Meskipun demikian, tetap saja saya rutin, setidaknya secara berkala datang berkunjung kesini. Saya paham bahwa tidak akan ada apapun...
