The problem is Rupiah Murni Pendamping (RMP) to back the foreign loan absorption. Budget for defense equipment acquisition for MoD and Police is around 16.7 trillion Rupiah each, this figure is unlikely to climb as we are going to decrease budget deficit gradually into 3 % of GDP in 2023.

There are many priority programs within Armed Force acquisition, not just MRCA program. The priority program for Air Force in relation to MRCA is to fill F 5 squadron with new fighters (1.1 billion USD). I have posted the program and the figure already in older post.

There is also President instruction to have at least 50 % of the budget for local defense industry equipment/MRO.
If it's that simple, Vipers deals should have been secured by now. Just Stop talking with US, Qatar, French, and UAE about Fighter procurement.

The problem is Prabowo still wants and hopes to get Rafale and F 15 EX. If he gives up on that ambitious plan ( as been criticized by General Andika), he can starts negotiating with LM on F 16 V so that we can get better deal plus faster acquisition plan for 1 squadron that is badly needed.

Until October, the realization of defense acquisition for Armed Force is still around 79 % while Police has reached 90 % from the budget given by SMI in this fiscal year of 2021.

By the time RI signed the fighter deal, Malaysia's Gowind will already set sail and commissioned by the RMN.

Too bad, he holds too much political power. If it really possible to stop him, RI1 should has been put a stop to his plan. But look, talked and discussion still going on with French and US, moreover he said "buy something better" to 08.

At this point Rafale and/or F15 will come, but maybe not in quantity he wants.

President cannot stop him propose the budget to Bappenas and Minister of Finance, but we will see whether the proposal will be approved or not.....

Just check AH new video, look like total Foreign Loan and Domestic loan is slashed further by SMI into just 10 billion USD (2020-2024), despite Bappenas has approved about 20 billion USD (foreign loan +domestic loan) some months ago. I cannot confirm this as I dont have any high connection on Minister of Finance, we will see whether this number is true or not


Meeting with US MoD and French MoD and Foreign Minister not only talk about his Rafale and F 15 plan.

You use Vid from Masseur guy, then I'll use it too.
It's not a secret French pushing Rafale so hard to us. If French know that we don't have any capacity to acquire it, why doesn't their Intel just tell macron to not waste their time on us, tell him we're too "Kere" to buy it?

We got new Omicron (B.1.1.529) covid variant from Africa, folks. Preliminary analysis said that this one could be more dangerous than Delta.

Yellow light for our F-15EX & Rafale dream then :)

Btw, if all we got is only $1.1 bil, just take whatever we can from the desert. Number is much more important right now than new jets.

Indonesia orders 5 more A400Ms

The local press is widely reported, the Indonesian government has reportedly approved the purchase of five Airbus A400M Atlas military transport planes. The contract is valued at two billion dollars, according to our Indonesian colleagues and the specialized journal Jane's (read here). This purchase was mentioned in May 2016 by the Indonesian Prime Minister (read again here).

Indonesia therefore becomes the A400M's second export customer, after Malaysia, whose use of the device by its air force will certainly have played a role in the Indonesian decision. The local air force is already familiar with Airbus, operating fleets of CN-235 and C-295 military light transport aircraft. A production chain has even been installed in the country, and which could be requested in this new contract.

They're wrong. Tha was the old plan.
For now 4 additional purchase is just a LoI.

Talking about helmets, we're the only major western oriented air force in ASEAN that had not yet adopted HMD.

Except we have :oops:

“Perlu jumlah minimal untuk bisa transfer teknologi,” kata Dirut Airbus Defence and Space Michael Schoellhorn.


So in order to get full TOT, 🇮🇩 must buy a significant number of A400, not only 2 but prrsumably with additional 4.

If this true, there's big chance for A330 MRTT to be sacrifice. Thus left F16 fleet can only fly around air base.
