the director are the same guy that make that awesome koppassus youtube clip?
I don't know which unit, but the Scorpion SMG is still in use or at least was in use until very recently:

A typical Hollywood style war-action movie.
Lowlights:
1. The true Elite unit don't attack during the g****mn day-light.
2. You don't land the choper very close to the enemy stronghold that the enemy can see, do you ?
3. Not completely gone, but hand-grenades have been replaced by more effective & deadly LG. Especially if you want the audience to believe that you are an Elite military Unit.
4. Today you don't find face-to-face combat ala WW II often. There's something we called Sniper.
Hilights:
1. Good camera angle during the rebel recon returning to the base. I think they utilized some sort of flying vehicle.
2. Fast plot.
1 Its difficult ofcourse to make shots at night int the forrest: totally darkness. Unless the audience wear all NVGs.
2 Youre right. In 1996 Kopassus landed kilometers away from the OPM-terorrists.
3 Ordinairy handgrenades are cheaper....
4 In the 21th century we call it CQC...![]()
A snapshot from iphone.
I apoligize for the quality. The stamp says YONIF or YORIF 123 w/ small eagle stamp underneath. I always thought these 52s were rebuilt by the factory before they were shipped to US. It's then safe to assume the holster isn't the original. Nevertheless, I found it interesting that YONIF 123 is an actual TNI unit and that per my research might have had 52s issued to it in the 60s.
And as far as the chasing video capture on the above preview, I suspect they use some type of the following cameras (very typical in open stadium sport nowdays)
EDIT: added aerial camera image

Penggantian Dua Pesawat Tempur Tunggu Persetujuan Depkeu
13/01/2009 15:13:22
Jakarta - Rencana penggantian dua pesawat tempur TNI AU yakni OV-10 Bronco dan Hawk MK-53, hingga kini masih menunggu persetujuan alokasi anggaran dari Departemen Keuangan (Depkeu).
Direktur Jenderal Sarana Pertahanan (Ranahan) Departemen Pertahanan (Dephan) Marsekal Muda TNI Eris Herryanto mengatakan, pihaknya sudah melakukan kajian terhadap spesifikasi teknik dan persyaratan operasional terkait penggantian dua pesawat tempur TNI AU tersebut.
"Namun, karena persetujuan alokasi anggaran belum turun dari Depkeu maka kami juga belum bisa menentukan jenis dan dari negara mana pengganti dua pesawat itu akan diadakan," ujarnya.Kepala Staf Angkatan Udara (Kasau) Marsekal TNI Subandrio mengatakan, penggantian pesawat OV-10 Bronco dan Hawk-MK53 sama sekali tidak bisa ditunda. "Dua jenis pesawat itu, sama sekali tidak bisa ditunda penggantiannya. Harus segera," katanya.
Tentang pengganti kedua jenis pesawat tersebut, Subandrio mengatakan, untuk pengganti OV-10 Mabes TNI AU telah menetapkan Super Tucano
dari Brazil dan kini tengah digodok di Dephan. Sedangkan untuk Hawk MK-53 Mabes TNI AU hingga kini masih merahasiakannya dan terus menggodok berbagai jenis pesawat yang menjadi kandidat pengganti pesawat latih tempur jet buatan Inggris itu.
Hingga kini Mabes TNI AU mengantongi pesawat Yak-130 dari Rusia, M-346 dari Italia, FTC-2000 dari Cina, dan L-159B dari Ceko untuk pengganti Hawk MK-53."Penggantian dua pesawat itu harus tetap dilaksanakan. Tidak bisa ditunda lagi. Jadi, mungkin meski akan ada revisi Rencana Strategis 2009-2014, tetapi penggantian dua pesawat itu tetap jalan," kata Subandrio menegaskan. (SS)
I dont understand why they choose the Super Tucano to replace the OV-10F. We already have the KT-1B, its a good machine with good performance, so why they choose another model from another manufacturer, from another country, instead choosing the KO-1?
Again personel sended abroad for training, new ground support equipment, other spareparts, other manuals, other vendors/providers....waste of money and time.....
Small amounts, but a big varierity...our armed forces will never become efficient and strong that way...
I also expect they choose the FTC-2000, only ofcourse because its cheap crap...
this is what happen when you send troop from tropical country to snowy area...

HAHAHAHA; priceless video. I pray for the Garuda Force for their safe return home.
Good to see the troops are in good morale!
On a more serious note, very sad news on the sinking Ferry. Hope the family stay strong. I am a bit taken back how the Indonesian Media has minimal coverage on the tragedy. But again, this happens quite often, doesn't it?
RIP to those lost at sea!
