Last week, all the industrialists of the "Rafale Team" still held their breath. Indeed, while the technical and financial offer had been handed over to the Indonesian government, the United States Embassy had just launched an unprecedented lobbying offensive to block the decision of Jakarta. And this in order to allow Lockheed to make an economically more attractive offer in favor of its F-16 block 72. However, as long as the first deposit is not paid, Washington, already in difficulty on the contract for the acquisition of future Swiss combat aircraft, will not miss any opportunity to regain the initiative.Indonesia Signs a Contract to Acquire the Rafale Aircraft from Dassault Aviation

just wondering, considering that Indonesia is not an ally of America, it seems very impossible to get the F35They see themselves competing with Dassault Rafale and not Boeing F-15EX? I don't understand this. There's no way Indonesia buy both fighters from the US (Boeing EX and LM Viper). They don't seem to understand this "political aspect" of our procurement to get non-US fighters alongside the US one.
They should position themselves as the competitor for Boeing F-15EX to get our attention.
By offering F-35 for example
US government can't allow such method, they only allowed Contractor fee, consultants fee and such but the recipient must have specs to allow them to receive such priviledge
