We are not the US military that can ask for billions dollar project to fulfill what they need, our military get what the government managed to afford for them.

To do something like Israel Defense industry would be the best

Israeli hostile neighborhood fueled their military industry.

Well, let's just wait for the seminar to happen. If they didn't bring it up then safe to say at least TNI AU itself isn't interested.
What? Refusing Fighter that we already investing so much? Do they asking for "tempeleng" ?

But it's OK, on previous air power zoom discussion they did discuss a little bit of IFX.

For IFX/KFX or now called as KF21 BORAMAE, they would take it. But as they had hint it for long time ago, not even in the most optimistic situation by 2026 they can get the first operational article units by then (Indonesian government would get some test bed aircraft between 2024/25). That's why they need to invest more to sufficiently adding the number of aircraft fighter by import them directly from France and USA.

on some indonesia military facebook page.
It is futile to reason with them, one person said to me that western tanks are more vulnerable than Russian tanks since it has ammo stowed in the back of the turret which has minimal protection, and it would explode the whole tank if managed to get hit.

The reality is contrary - Russian carousel-like ammo storage made them vulnerable to be turned into flying pancakes.

Why change it to IDN though
Based on the operator? Like the F15 QA,
Just an assumption,to avoid mismatch now that F15 join the India fighter tender.
Hmmm not a 4/4.5th gen?
