Logistic nigjhtmare were only tip of the iceberg here
that's why i'm more into buying more F-16 on top what we already plan to order, if we wanted to buy rafale/F15 at least order more F-16.

for F-16 we already got experience in maintain those, we already got pilot flying them and training new one can be done in indonesia, we got pool of spare part and weapon in our inventory not to mention the cost per flight hour of operating those is cheap.

at least for F-15 it got some commonality with F-16, the engine can be swap (if we opted to use PW or new F-16 used GE), use the same weapon as F-16, some of the ground systems also interchangeable.

Do our TNI will ever get a dedicated military satellite? 🤔😔

I feel Indonesia should cooperate with India on this front could be ideal approach in interest of capacity/cost ratio.

LAPAN-ISRO existing cooperation should increase and evolve to military-user domain where feasible.

Sigh .... We all have been beating this dead horse back and forth in months of heated discussions and things get escalated in 3 week's back . In the end 08 was hammering the said deals backed by the current administration nonetheless .... but ' no crying over the spilt milks . Things have been said and done , It's time to move on and deal with the consequences which i'm sure will come back and bite us hard in the ass .... later on .
Let's us just hope atleast some " smart people " up there could streamline the missile inventory for the newest system for the operator's consolation and ease of logistical inventory .

Speaking about mind blowing procurement, I'd even forgive him if he read this and then trying to get those X-wing fighters from Star Wars movies.

Be careful with what you wish for:

Once we go this way, we also have to buy Galactic Empire's TIE fighters in similar numbers so as not to upset the balance in The Force.

I think one of the reason why we're getting floored by the recent development was because we're so used to receive 'bantingan' when the reality was often far less than what we expected. Heck, this even affected the way I work: Instead of writing stories right away about our recent deals aside from FREMM, I'm still waiting until there's something more official since I still worry that all of those supposedly good news are only going to bite me back in the end.

But I guess we'll only hear official words from the man himself once everything has really settled and put in order.
