Is Mirage 2k still worth it by then?
Boramae production already in full swing at that time.

Maybe still 'ok' for another 10 years of operation. Not that good in A2A role but still capable in strike/anti-shipping/reconnaisance.

Squadron 14th would be filled with Rafale, i don't know they would put Mirage 2000 there as interim gap or not. But there is also several empty Air Force base of class A, waiting to be filled with some stuff as their home base.

I heard the want to station them on Pekanbaru, close to Natuna.
So what will happen to the 14th squadron then ? Are they going to be left 'borrowing' jets from other units ?

Pekanbaru strategic position and the 2 squadron inside of it is actually more relevant to the Malacca strait not Natuna where Supadio is closer

F-16 is fighting with EF
Hopefully F16 will be the winner
What is the reason they want the EF? They already got Rafale as US alternatives. Also F15EX would play the same role as heavy fighter.

Rafale, mirage 2000, F15EX and now (F16 vs EF)
What in absolute tarnation.
Its like we try to get a small quantity of everything.
Imagine if there is also other proposal for Chinese or Russian fighter.
