They can, the original unupgraded C/D Block 25 was designed in 80s to capable firing AMRAAM, an evolution from earlier A/B series

Though i stress here, there is another rumour of alternative option to cut the budget ( this was simply a suggestion of alternative option which doesn't necessarily have to be materialised, it may goes or just cut stop ), an alternative option which sees we're getting instead 16 F-16 EDA augmented with 32 FA-50 thus cutting out the need to get 2 squadrons of brand new F-16 V but this was just an alternate suggestion rumour. I still trust the earlier one which suggest we getting 24 brand new F-16V and at least 16 EDA F-16. All speculations go wild now in The Ministry.

How about our damaged hind?
Can Pt DI repair it?

i was hoping US to ramped up the number they give for the F-16 EDA, but hey since it's free stuff , we can't complaint much .

also indonesia really need to equipped their F-16 with ECCM , terma ECCM Pod products are good ,or maybe the Dorsal Spine for F-16 which can employ Elisra SPS 3000 .

 

[Raduga]

Oh also , looks like our jiran are already on the move , they now proposed tender for UAV MPA , and successor for the condor 4x4 (which rumour said the UAE IAG Guardian)

Yea, I've seen this one. But US itself pushed us to purchase their F16V instead of getting F-16 EDA, procurement itself is dynamic let's see whether the plan on viper and eda will be executed or no
