Indonesian President inspects JF-17 fighter aircraft

. . .
Indonesia is looking to buy fighter jets and Presidents visit is part of that procurement. I read the news few days back and I will find it and post it.

Indonesian air force indeed have a plan to add 3 fighter squadrons in the future aside from current negotiation on SU-35 to replace F-5, although the leading contender is F-16.

Any comparison between F-16 and JF-17?

There is no leading contender but the Army chief favors SU 35 I read his statement. The F-16 and JF-17 are on table.

This is for new procurement. SU-35 is a done deal, we are only waiting for the contract signing.

U.S. officials said Indonesia asked for pricing for an additional 48 F-16 aircraft, a deal which could be worth $4.5 billion. But Indonesia played down any imminent purchase and suggested it was still evaluating how many more aircraft it needed.

It can do everything an F16 can do plus a hell of a lot more. Especially in the Naval strike role.

And half the costs.

what are the threats to Indonesia.... Which countries would the planes be used against ??

Our immediate neighbors are: Australia, Malaysia, Vietnam, Thailand, Singapore, and there's China in SCS. They have F-35, F-18, Gripen, F-16, F-15, Sukhoi, and China have a bunch of Gen 4+ & Gen 5 fighters.

F-16 is at the end of its shell life, JF-17 just began and with block 3 soon to enter production with goodies such as an AESA radar, IRST etc this is only going to go upwards. Besides with Pakistan you can be rest assured that things will always be free of political strings unlike US.
