just for reference, the amount of Jets on top of this is more than the combined airframe of Vipers we operate. Not yet counting what's below the hangar.

we really need to get those jets fast.

Indeed we need to increase the number of our jet fighter, although the most potent weapon against it is a submarine, you sink the AC the whole squadron goes down with it.

Though in History more Aircraft Carrier being sunk against Aircraft fighter compared to the Submarine, and i think the current situation is about the same as Carrier operational is more mature and had multiple Escort units including ASW assets at three dimensional warfare. The biggest chance still with Aircraft fighter equipped with air launched AShM and trying to overwhelmed the Defense system of the Escort units by saturation Attack.

Because in the past torpedoes homing capabilities is not that good, no advance radar and also SAM.

There is multiple AAW escort that carry many missile + ciws.

The advancement in one military technology will always resulted in the advancement of its counter measures. Just saying.

Any news about KFX payment or Rafale / Eagle 2 ?

Nothing specific mentioned in the RAPBN 2022. There is a mention of multiyears contract payment though. Dont know whether this will include payment for KFX or not.

Matrix Prioritas program is not specific enough also, unfortunately...

We don't even know KFX still a priority or not.

As you can read it yourself in the budget priority, of which it is NOT THERE. Which mean it is not a priority at this moment.

Indonesia completes Falcon STAR and EMLU upgrade on fifth F-16​

by Ridzwan Rahmat

The first Indonesian F-16 A/B that underwent the Falcon STAR (Structural Augmentation Roadmap) and enhanced mid-life upgrade (EMLU) programme, seen here in April 2020. Since then, the TNI-AU has upgraded four other airframes. (TNI-AU)
The Indonesian Air Force (Tentara Nasional Indonesia – Angkatan Udara: TNI-AU) now operates a fleet of five F-16 A/B airframes that have been upgraded under the Falcon STAR (Structural Augmentation Roadmap) and enhanced mid-life upgrade (EMLU) programme.

The service announced on 18 August that the fifth airframe, with serial number TS-1605, has completed its first post-upgrade flight.

“Although there were many obstacles in the midst of this pandemic, TS-1605 has successfully taken to the skies and will now safeguard our sovereignty,” said First Marshal Untung Suropati, commander of Iswahyudi Air Force Base, in the TNI-AU statement.

The TNI-AU is in the process of upgrading its entire fleet of F-16 A/B airframes via the Falcon STAR and EMLU programme. As part of the upgrades, the airframes have been structurally reinforced, and received improved avionics and weapon systems including interrogator antennae for an identification friend-or-foe (IFF) system. Upgraded airframes have been applied with a Pewter grey livery, which replaces the older Tosca green paint scheme.

The first upgraded F-16, which bears the serial number TS-1610, was rolled out in April 2020. This airframe, with three other aircraft that have since been upgraded under the same programme, were showcased in a 17 August flypast held as part of Indonesia's Independence Day celebrations.

Like the earlier airframes that have been upgraded, TS-1605 will be redeployed for operational duties with the TNI-AU's Skadron Udara (Aviation Squadron) 3 at the Iswahyudi Air Force Base in Madiun, East Java, once it receives the new post-upgrade livery.
