Some source said they switched their offer to Su57. But I don't think that will fruitful. Indonesia need US approval to get their KFX ToT afterall.
(Su35 aja dramanya udah panjang gini, eh mau Su57.... )

Renegotiation will finally come to an end

looking like they are in negotiation for further order

Oleh sebab itu TNI AU sangat membutuhkan hadirnya Satuan Rudal sebagai satuan penindak ancaman udara pada jarak menengah. Saat ini TNI AU telah memutuskan untuk menambahkan Nasams sebagai pengganti rudal SAM 75 guna memperkuat system pertahanan udara. Kontrak dan proses pengadaan Nasams sedang berlangsung dan saat ini alutsista tersebut sudah berada di Teluk Naga, Tangerang.

Maybe, but 5L station can be used.

The transition from Block 10 to Block 15 resulted in two hardpoints added to the inlet chin and designated as stations 5R and 5L. The nearly thirty percent larger horizontal tail is the most noticeable difference between Block 15 and previous F-16 versions. The larger tail offset the shift in center of gravity brought on by the weight of the sensors and structures of the two chin hardpoints. The larger tail also provides better stability and control authority, especially at higher angles of attack.

Hard to notice, but if you look carefully all of fly with Litening pod installed

More of Boramae

No explosion cord on canopy glass like F35 so Boramae need to jettison the whole canopy in the event of ejection. I hope that BAE's Lite HUD is as strong and tough as F-16's HUD (that HUD has to be strong to shield pilot form incoming rushing air)
Edit: on a closer look I notice Boramae's Martin baker seat has these "horn" that obviously to brake canopy.
So they designed it to just punch through the canopy when Eject??!
OUCHH....

Under belly missile pylon are visible in this photo.

Why that IRST has to be Yellow. Transparent will look better.

Not the whole canopy glass, just the main (rear) part the small front part will remain just like F35.

Is that a tailhook on the 2nd pic?

 

[NEKO]

Because block 1 is designed to carry underbelly missiles, it looks weird without the missiles because of the recesses configuration of the missiles.

F35 has explosion cord to brake its glass first, Boramae don't. Which is why I guess KF21 ejection probably will be more "kasar" than F35.

They would prefer to safe cost as much as possible,

No. "Sniper".

I think its just a yellow cover for the IRST same like our Su-27 IRST cover's is red.

Probably yes, my speculation they want to use it in short landing environtment space, such as highway or CV.

Because block 1 is designed to carry underbelly missiles, it looks weird without the missiles because of the recesses configuration of the missiles.

Its make me wonder tho, what kind of missile it will be carried, isit only for Meteor or can be use for IRIS-T?

No. "Sniper".

My bad, i cant even spot the difference either Sniper and Litening
