Indonesia Plans 180 Flankers Plus F-16s..

The only reason they are beefing up their military is because they want to be seen as a regional power. The thing is, they aren't that important so it won't help their image.

Also i highly doubt they will be able to operate 180 flankers effectively considering their budget, and their training and resources.

The Indonesian military can't even train themselfs. Australia trains alot of it's military.

And off course, Oz will be more significant than Indonesia... :no:
 
Why is Indonesia behaving like India??

They should do something to upheal their destitute poor who defect by thousands each year in Saudi after arriving on Umrah / Hajj visas to work as illegal labor and often prostitutes!

Why is Pakistan, which came within a striking distance of currency default 2 years back buying F 16s and JF 17. ??

Every nation has its own defence plan. You cant pretend to understand those and second guess them. They have much more qualified people doing that for them..

Like I said defense minister is known to talk about with no outcomes.

The thread is unnecessary been dragged..
Look its as simple as that US is too good diplomatically with such nations. Did you see russians/iran s-300 drama? atleast americans tell right in the face selling or not selling and don't play dodgy like russians did for the past 6 months with iran.

First priority of Indonesian Air Force is to upgrade current fleet and replacement of current fleet of F-5s. Adding more in later stages.
Possible outcome could be current F-16 upgraded to block 52 standards along with a squadron replacement of F-5 Tiger II with more F-16 block 52s.
Upgrades on BAE hawks. There are conflicting reports on number of hawks in Indonesian Air Force. reports 38 vs 32 vs 29 in inventory/in service. Regardless it would be good enough to give them upgrades refurbish them.

Apart from that we could possibly see a squadron of su-30MK2. That is more then enough for the Air Force to handle.

I'm sorry to dissapointed you. But we already have 5 skuadron of sukhoi now. 16 planes / skuadron. And if this surprising U too, we already have 1 skuadron SU35s (12 planes) and 8 SU 34Platypus. So ... if our genneral talk that they want 10 skuadron until 2024. Trust me. It's not bluffing or just talk. We already work on that. :coffee:

With an almost a trillion dollar economy it wouldn't be a surprise. Long live Indonesia!
