In my opinion, Indo Pacific become more and more important for US these days. Denying access for F15 and angering Indonesia is quite risky for them.
BUT If they do refuse to sell us Eagle 2, Typhoon is a good alternative. We're in a pretty good term with British DoD right now after AH140 deal.
After this AUKUS and U216 gossip, Japanese offer become kind of "kurang menggigit"...
(D*mn it, I think my wibu soul got a really big "cobaan" right now)
If we seriously aiming for Nuclear powered submarine in the future, French is the best choice actually just like Brazil.
