No more Chinese stuff pleaseinteresting , we're going to have 4 new UAV Squadron .
SPEAR 3, GBU-53/B stormbraker and AGM-154 JSOW got 100km range (JSOW high altitude drop can get around 100km+)AGM-65 have less than half the 100km stated range. The only thing that comes in my mind for a 100km+ AGM missile for a western sourced jets is the Harpoon or the AGM-88s. I'm not sure we had any interest for this.
I could add Spice bomb in the list too, but I'm trying to be as rational and moderate as possible.SPEAR 3, GBU-53/B stormbraker and AGM-154 JSOW got 100km range (JSOW high altitude drop can get around 100km+)
.
.
well if we wanted to operate that it going to be expensive, SPEAR 3 not in service yet and stormbreaker not integrated in F-16 yet, it leave to JSOW but it going to be nightmare to get approval from congress for that.
another possibility is korean KGGB

Excerpts from the article.According to La Tribune,the Indonesian Air Force is nearing a contract for the rafale. Unless unpredicted event,Indonesia should be the next country acquiring the rafale. The contract is already being initialed by Indonesian Defense Minister Prabowo Subianto. The contract for the acquisition of Rafale is awaiting a presidential decree, which will allow the Department of Defense to increase budget lines to fund this purchase.
L'Indonésie très, très proche de monter à bord du Rafale
Le contrat portant sur l'acquisition de Rafale attend un décret présidentiel, qui permettra d'abonder des lignes budgétaires du ministère de la Défense pour financer cet achat.
L'Indonésie est très proche de monter à bord du Rafale. Après l'Égypte (54 Rafale), le Qatar (36), l'Inde (36) et la Grèce (18), elle devrait être, sauf accident, un nouveau pays à acquérir l'avion de combat tricolore conçu et développé par Dassault Aviation. Selon des sources concordantes, le contrat est déjà paraphé par le ministre de la Défense indonésien, Prabowo Subianto, qui souhaite offrir depuis plusieurs mois le Rafale à son armée de l'air.

Still 36 ?Excerpts from the article.
Meeting Parly and Subianto in the coming weeks?
According to a source familiar with the matter, the Indonesian Defense Minister should meet in "the coming weeks" his counterpart, Florence Parly, who mentioned last December an order for 36 Rafale by Jakarta. For his part, Dassault Aviation CEO Eric Trappier mentioned last January an order of between 24 and 40 aircraft. "The industrial proposal and the contractualization have come to an end," we told La Tribune.
French manufacturers (GIE Rafale) submitted their offer in early December. The ball is therefore in Joko Widodo's court. And everyone is now waiting for the engagement authorization, which must be given by the Indonesian president. Which will be the fifth country between Croatia (12 second-hand Rafale), Switzerland (from 30 to 40 aircraft) and Indonesia, to acquire the tricolor combat aircraft. Suspense.
So it still possible to get 36 after all?According to La Tribune,the Indonesian Air Force is nearing a contract for the rafale. Unless unpredicted event,Indonesia should be the next country acquiring the rafale. The contract is already being initialed by Indonesian Defense Minister Prabowo Subianto. The contract for the acquisition of Rafale is awaiting a presidential decree, which will allow the Department of Defense to increase budget lines to fund this purchase.
