terma investment in indonesia probably corespond to our F-16 fleets need .
this can turn our F-16 into a growler
This is just my opinion.
Isn't it better to propose F15ex with PW F100 to US to replace su35 deal instead of F35 for now?
I mean, F35 still have many bugs, its cost per flight hour still high, etc.
We can wait for F35.

based on their latest press , yes .They going to invest here? That would be great and surprising at the same time
If it's overlapped, why buy Su35 then?It all depends on the task/purpose the fighters are assign to. With all the SU35/KFX drama that bring uncertainty I think F16V is the wise choice for now. F35 without good network centric would be a waste, F15 overlapped the Sukhoi (assigned task) that we have. Please keep in mind that buying fighter jets depend very much on the task or in other word the job that we assigned it to. Having Viper also can become a stepping stone/good introduction pilots and ground crew about the latest avionic technology and wont overlapping the other planed to have lets say SU35/KFX. As for SU35/F15/F35/KFX lets see what happen next. We desperatly need an airframe, please keep in mind that if my memory serve me right those hawks would be retired around 2024-2025.

if we were gonna receive these radars, does it means that we're gonna have to share the information of surveillance that provided by these radars with US ?Lockheed Martin Awarded $77 Million Contract to Provide of Mobile Radars for Malaysia and Indonesia
June 15, 2020by admin
The U.S. Government will provide three Lockheed Martin long-range mobile radars to Malaysia and Indonesia, as revealed by a notice of contract action dated 9 June on the US government’s System for Award Management website. This effort is to acquire up to three transportable solid-state long-range surveillance radars. These radars must be capable of simultaneously performing air surveillance and maritime surveillance missions in the South East Asia Theatre.
The objective is to provide secure interoperable C3I (Command Control Communications and Intelligence) and Sensor systems supporting U.S. Joint Air Operations to US Government FMS (Foreign Military Sales) customers. These solutions provide partner nations with secure mission capability, able to interoperate both within sovereign space, and provide connectivity and interoperability with U.S. military support forces. This period of performance will be 48 months (4 years).

Any info about VDS for Martadinata class?
AFAIK, it's CAPTAS 2/UMS 4229 (based on Wikipedia cmiiw)Any info about VDS for Martadinata class?
there should be a cutout in the back of the ship just below helicopter deck for CAPTAS deployment like thisAFAIK, it's CAPTAS 2/UMS 4229 (based on Wikipedia cmiiw)

Not the engine tho, which is a very important part of a jet fighter.SU35 share the same weapon arsenals and some parts with SU that we have
No hull mounted sonar, they need to deploy their vds every time.there should be a cutout in the back of the ship just below helicopter deck for CAPTAS deployment like this
but it's non existant on our martadinata
i guess our PKR would stay with bow mounted sonar + as565 panther HELRAS dipped sonar combination instead .
