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.

TNI AD – Sangatta. Pangdam VI/Mulawarman Mayjen TNI Sonhadji meninjau langsung uji coba Rudal Grom yang dilaksanakan prajurit Denarhanud Rudal 002/Bontang, di Pantai Sekarat Bengalon, Sangatta, Kalimantan Timur, Sabtu (25/11/2017).

Kemampuan prajurit yang dikomandani Mayor Arh Reindi Trisetyo ini, diuji dalam mengoperasikan sekaligus menembakan senjata berat 23 mm bersama Rudal Poprad.



Sebuah pesawat diterbangkan yang disimulasikan pesawat musuh memasuki kawasan vital di Indonesia. Saat pesawat memasuki udara Indonesia, langsung dilakukan deteksi untuk mengetahui tujuan pesawat memasuki kawasan terlarang di Indonesia. Kemudian, peringatan dilakukan namun diabaikan sehingga sejumlah rudal diluncurkan. “Pelucuran rudal merupakan tindakan terakhir,” terang Mayor Arh Reindi Trisetyo.

Disebutkan, Rudal Grom adalah rudal jenis Short Range Air Defence alias rudal pertahanan udara jarak pendek. Sebagai rudal SAM ringan, Grom pertama kali diproduksi pada tahun 1995, dirancang oleh Military Institute of Armament Technology dan diproduksi oleh Mesko, Skarzysko-Kamienna, manufaktur senjata asal Polandia. “Rudal Grom mulai memperkuat Detasemen Rudal 002 Kodam VI/Mulawarman yang mengamankan obyek vital di Bontang,”ujarnya.


Mayor Arh Reindi Trisetyo menyampaikan, berdasarkan data, Rudal Grom milik Arhanud TNI AD bisa dipasang dalam platform peluncur Poprad dan meriam 23-mm/ZUR komposit. Poprad yang dipakai oleh TNI AD, menggunakan platform Jip Defender dari Land Rover. Dalam satu Jip tersedia 4 (empat) peluncur Grom yang bisa berputar 360 derajat.

“Dengan adopsi peluncur Grom pada kendaraan berkemampuan off road, diharapkan gelar operasi rudal ini dapat lebih mobile dan fleksibel. Umumnya dalam satu Jip peluncur membawa 8 rudal, 4 yang siap tembak dan sisanya 4 rudal sebagai cadangan,”tutur Mayor Arh Reindi Trisetyo.

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...
