Anyone can speak French? Quite confused after google translated this article. First paragraph said it already signed while the 2nd paragraph said "would have been" initially signed. I assumed that Prabowo already signed his initials and only awaits Jokowi presidential decree for final signature signing of the contract.

INDONESIA TO SIGN AN ORDER FOR 36 RAFALE

Thursday 05/20/2021 at 9:38

The contract with Indonesia for the sale of 36 Rafale to Indonesia is reportedly on track. According to La Tribune, it was signed by the Minister of Defense and is only awaiting a presidential decree.

Home straight for the signing of a new Rafale contract. According to La Tribune, Indonesia would be "very close to boarding" the French fighter plane. According to "corroborating sources", the contract would have been initialed by Prabowo Subianto, Minister of Defense, and only awaits the approval of President Joko Widodo to validate the financing of the contract.

They are saying it has been signed (past tense).

2nd one is just tense that's same thing in context, explaining who would have signed it etc (i.e defence minister).

It now awaits downstream final signature of president of Indonesia.

Only waiting for president (and his inner circles) approval, only one step away for Rafale lads... I hope so

Not much apparently but it's the tought that counts . Let say between 6 to 8 ... And i was swamped in the la la land while write it .... 😂
im going with five 🤣
US did spent around 1.1 billion for 8 but again they don't need to invest too much on new facility, training, etc.

So yeah maybe around 5-6

Maybe 8 units.

"In the 2021 TNI Leadership Meeting document received by Anadolu Agency, Indonesia plans to buy 36 Rafale aircraft and 8 F-15 EX aircraft."

Be realistic dude.

Well i said "maybe" based from the article. But yeah i reckon it will be 5 - 6 units.

Want to ask is the presidential decree IF its been approved by Jokowi covers just the Rafale or also include other procurement?
