FA-50 is a fine bird. Good for our second line of fighter. But why choose T-50 and not FA-50 from the beginning? Testing the water first? If they choose to upgrade it, then it means TNI AU has fall in love with this bird already.

The fighter is really good, better you see their performance at Singapore Airshow.......

After successful missile launch testing by South Korea (not long ago), many of T 50 customers including Indonesia get more confident regarding its strike performance. Indonesia itself has used this bird for bombing strike using dumb bomb. This is the photo where we try put rocket pylon.

Why not buying FA-50 at the first place?

We need to see their missile strike testing performance first I guess.

Paling nambah radar ke yg variant T/A . Soalnya yg 8 unit itu T/A sisanya variant standar. Padahal TNI Au butuh banyak lift untuk pengadaan fighter kedepannya. Belum lg kohaudnas sudah ancang2 minta fighter duluan drpada sAM nya

TA50 had internally mounted cannon vulcan gatling, elta el332 fire control radar, capability to launch jdam, maverick and hydra70 rocket pod. T50 with blue Camo also doent have firing control radar

TNI AU, kata Agus, membeli 6 helikopter AW101 yang biasa, dan 3 untuk jenis VVIP. Tak ada perbedaan mencolok antara helikopter AW101 yang biasa dengan VVIP. Perbedaan hanya terletak di bagian interior.

Mudah2an dapet harga diskon gede dan cepet dikirim, barang NOS. Ditambah pesenan NBell 412 & Caracal di PT.DI, TNI dapet tambahan armada heli banyak nih.

It is vary, but the latest FA 50 uses AESA radar (Israeli radar with LG Korea participation), still under testing I guess.

T-50 is fast with afterburner and so agile (dog fight capability), so it is good for interceptor so at least ours should have sidewinder on the wings just like our Hawk 209 (32).

9 unit, 6 versi biasa dan 3 unit buat VVIP...banyak juga ya 9 unit belinya.

di 2016 au juga akan belanja:

radar buat T50i
tambahan grob dan KT1
12 unit su35
etc

BAe Hawk 100 & 200 operators:

Indonesia.
- 8 Hawk 109 (trainer)

- 32 Hawk 209 (light attack)

British Aerospace Hawk 100 & Hawk 200





Maybe not really modern but at least it can intercept and lock Australian F-18 planes (4-5) in Indonesian-East Timor border, during East Timor independence moment. So why not T-50 Golden Eagle, which is actually a supersonic plane (and designed based on F-16), having sidewinder in their wings..?
