i wonder why so many of us love the F35, i thought F35 is troublesome and cost tooo much money....
cause the US AF is kinda tired and starting to buy another F15 due the F22 and or F35 is choking them....

doesn't mean that i disagree about this 5th gen fighter, i believe it's just too expensive for Indonesia
It's good in limited number, special forces squadron lah...

Because Russian weapons are belong in the despots arsenals.

Hmm...... I think F-35 will be mature and not like a baby anymore in 2030s.
"I think F-35 will be mature"

are you sure??

and even if its true, that in 2030 it's gonna be good, why don't we just focusing our self to the F15 and other asset like our Navy....
Or even something that i never saw that it being upgraded to face today's threat (except that AMRAAM in SAM version and a few air search radar) like air defence....

90% sure. My head kind of like quantum computer if you ask about future, it's kind of like between 0 to 1 not just 0 or 1.

It's OK too, we jump the 5th gen and right into the 6th gen, like France.

Between prestige and strategic technological parity importance .... Any other reason could be added in between .
And mind you .... i sincerely think F 35 was a luxury we couldn't afford right now . Then again ... I'm just an enthusiast .

It's good in limited number, special forces squadron lah...

The only logical reason for such number would 1 squadron . No more and no less . And they only come out to kill the adversary air defence system not a CAP bullshit or not even in our independence day's parade .

Yes, so far you're the fairest of the bunch. Well, let's just wait, as you and LM themselves said, we're in talks.
Not that i am against other fighter in Indonesia, naturally you just need to beaten down your competitor but with actual facts. There is reason why Super Hercules can got thorough the tender against the likes of A400 M , as fact is stated they are the most resilience design of multipurpose lifter aircraft ever exist. And i believe F16 V is one of the best workhorse type fighter from bunch out there as TNI AU already operated the legacy type of them and know them better, at the level of how F 15 Made other strike and air superiority fighter is pale in comparison of capability they have and profile of mission they had accomplished.

A400M is "meh" aircraft anyway , even the german air force choose to procure more C-130J instead of more A400m .

im still supporting the 32 block 72 + 32 block 52id proposal if it was true instead of gripen .

What do you mean?

Some people who become Mr 08 supporter and now part of his special staff in MoD are part of the team of late MoD Mr Purnomo Yusgiantoro when they come up with the advancement of MEF programme, including people who Made studies for modernization of Air Force.

52id is fake true block 52. i wouldn't touch that thing with a stick especially if you're going to operate it until at least 2045

For me prioritize rafale (36) and Eagle 2 (at least 1 squadron).

36+36 Vipers is Good but for Kohanudnas only.

F35 is a MUST, but we can wait.

Gripen is a no.

Flanker and Felon are H*LL NO!

Suharso meminta Kementerian Pertahanan untuk membeli alat militer yang memiliki teknologi mumpuni. Artinya, bisa bertahan hingga beberapa tahun mendatang.

"Jangan sampai seperti kita beli maaf (sukhoi) SU-27 sebelum kita lengkap dengan dia punya segala macam, sudah muncul SU-30 generasi berikutnya. Lalu SU-30 sudah dalam kita mau mencukupi, SU-35 muncul. Kita bicara mengenai sukhoi 35 eh muncul sukhoi 57 dan seterusnya. Jadi kalau kita mau kejar-kejaran seperti itu nggak mampu kita, nggak mungkin itu kita lakukan," tandasnya.
