Just, spam F16
Just as Taiwan (ROC). But, I'm still not sure they can counter PRC in case they invade Taiwan. The US really have to be with them to increase the detterence and even Japan also if they want.

Taiwan can't fallen to the wrong hand. This very country is so important for this era, semiconductors are the reason. Semiconductors are the new oil.

We really never learn with how the Dutch is so unprepared to face Japan expansion in WW2.
Seem like history will repeat again.🙃
We can always go with cheap environment friendly solution

not in traditional sense. Semiconductor supply is more about manufacturing capacity rather than availability of raw material supply (silica sand). However, building manufacturing capacity takes time & money

Yup, the downstream side industries for semiconductors are the vital one and sadly we are too rely to that fragile country for that.

KNIL salary was maknjus tho wkwk. Yes, maybe things on that time were still rare so all still expensive, but compare to the salary now add the tunjangan-tunjangan and others, KNIL still better.

"Meski durasi kepangkatannya lama, para perwira KNIL cukup sejahtera. Didi Kartasasmita dalam autobiografinya, Didi Kartasasmita: Pengabdian Bagi Republik (1993: 30), menyebut bahwa gaji awal ketika jadi letnan dua sebesar 105 gulden per bulan (setara Rp15,9 juta di zaman ini menurut perhitungan International Institute of Social History). Jumlah itu lebih dari cukup untuk hidup di zaman kolonial, asal tidak bermewah-mewahan. Beberapa tahun kemudian, gaji Didi pada 1942 sudah mencapai 450 gulden (Rp103,2 juta).

Menurut Alex Mendur, seperti dicatat Wiwi Kuswiah dalam Alexius Impurung Mendur (1986: 19), uang 300 gulden zaman itu bisa beli mobil, meski bekas. Letnan satu zaman sekarang yang berdinas lebih dari lima tahun bisa beli mobil, tapi dengan mencicil. Banyak perwira masa kini barangkali diam-diam mengeluh dengan gaji perwira yang jauh dari kata besar". That was a lot of goods, my friend. I love that 😍😍😍.

restructure the manpower size and stop the corruption, then we will have sufficient money to buy big ticket item in significant number. The amount of state loss due to those corruptions and scandals shows that actually we have the money but it just does not go to the right direction

What is needed is better money management and more transparency. Rather than just "Hey this money is for next training", and after that, we don't know where the money goes, it have to be transparent where the money spent, even count each cent. By that, hopefully the finance management will be better and the money spend will be compacted and right to the target. But, don't forget to give our soldiers more salary.

And also, better we have Minister of Defense that curious of where the money goes. Rather than put the law enforcement (especially about money) in Military, put the law enforcement below the civilian command like in US, for example AFOSI is below the Department of Air Force rather than below the Chief of Staff of Air Force.

But, we also have to know, sometimes transparency is our enemy, especially when we are in some unwritten/de jure never exist operation (called it black budget or whatever). We asked the DPR money for something, but actually that "something" never happened. What you do is lied to the DPR and conceal the real intention where the money goes. Conceal where the money goes, don't be stupid.

if thing turns out to get bonker , i rather choose elang gurun and upgrade/maximize their capability to its fullest.

I see the logic in getting AMARG fighters but the problem with used fighters is the airframe lifespan. That's what makes the Austrian Eurofighters an attractive option as their flight hours are relatively low according to some sources.

From F-35 to second hand Typhoon, that is a really peak choice wkwk. At least make that Rafale and F-15 EX come.
CANCELLED 😜
Possibly, we still can't confirm that yet. Or maybe we never can confirmed that, because the government ghosted them just as Su-35 wkwk. Poor Russia, stupid bucin teddy bear that still waiting us to buy their Su-35.

We still have $1.1 bil that's already been approved by all parties (including MoF and Bappenas) for fighter procurement. So we'll definitely buy something :)

For only $1.1 bil, those Austrian Eurofighters would be the wisest choice :)
