This kind of hangar is really nice for photo shoot, but I think that we need to consider to build single hangar for individual plane, even if it's not a reinforced hangar.
Our fighters are currently lined up nicely in their hangar like a salted fish, a single missile or bomb can destroy one and damage another or just a fire caused by accident can endanger the whole hangar (and whole fighters in the squadron).
Didn't even have this kind of thing:

We can consider to build this(and also consider to buy the plane in pic) :

The question is why bother to invest more on 12 Mirage 2000-5 with 800 million US Dollar money, while with 1,1 billion US Dollar you can get six newly built Rafale. 800 million US Dollar can get you additional four or five

I heard French refuse to green light it so no problem.
Why not try to get 2nd hand Rafale instead?

On the other hand, does SABR on F16 is good enough?

the 1.1 bil for the 6 new rafale came from the failed Su35 contract right? then the Mirage2000 budget came from the interim fighter program?

please tell me that this Mirage 2000 ain't part of the deal so TNI can buy the Rafale F4 series instead of the lower version....
i believe giving that Mirage 2000 budget to another Rafale or to pay the Rafale or maybe it's missile and stuff is better

It won't effect Rafale version but their quantity.

Mirage is somebody else project familiarity with France tech etc, stop gap etc, urgent need etc, in the end lots of you now where it will end. Because they are offering it and they fund it with lender ready shift loan etc

I think French will green light this if we secure 3rd batch Rafale first.
