Wikipedia could be wrong about that, but either way this sees to be a Lim-6Bis due to the thinner wings

That is the photo of an Indonesian Su-27SK, the Su-27SK serial number is 01-02, while the Su-27SKM is 03-05

it is most definitely Indonesia. I imagine Line 4 will be fleshed out w/ Indonesia and Line 5 with Malaysia. Malaysia is still missing A LOT of aircraft. Line 3 is all the Thai stuff (Jets atleast) minus the A-7E and AV-8S (L) so

Boeing says no longer building F-15 fighter jets for Indonesia
Ah goddamn it man. Such a shame.

Rafale would be a F4 standard but yeah basically like that, although I could see a tech tree variant of their Su-30MK2 instead of the 27SKM given that those variants are both premiums and we might get a tree version through Indonesia instead. And I think the Su-27SKM could be 13.3 as well because it would retain the old engines and no twin R-77/RVV-AE pylons unlike the 27SM, I don’t know about its RWR but it sounds a lot more similar to a J-11A overall

Gaijin could add it later or there is a chance Gaijin might do a second what if and add Japan’s almost Su 27

This would be lovely with a camouflage, but we all know we don’t want an F-16AJ repeat, it’s really unnecessary at this point when subtrees exist, back then subtrees weren’t as prolific, they could’ve easily added a Thai or Indonesian early F-16 to fill the gap. However I can’t deny the AJ is a bit unique and cool for being a Sparrow carrying Block 10 airframe

its always a push and pull I like the AJ and I would be sad if it went the way of the R2Y2 as its a good what if. I know its unlikely but we have seen Gaijin pull stuff off before. Gaijin has likely talked about it and know if it was added people would eat up the Japanese Su-27 jut like the AJ.
nah I think since Indonesia being subtree is TNI-AU Su-27SK/SKM would probably a more feasible option rather than going back and forth on “almost possible” option
not only that, if we’re playing by that, then RMAF was also almost getting Tornado back then, before swapped to Hawk 200s

Yeah, what I mean is with a potentially Indonesian Su-27SKM or Su-30MK2 a Japanese “what if” skin can definitely be added and it’s an option that would satisfy both sides

revised once again
added Super Tucano after Cavalier, new rank 5 lineup including CS-102 and T-33, added MiG-19S before MiG-21F-13, and moved Malaysian jets deemed feasible on line 5. And the brand new Rank 9 bracket moved down MKM and Rafale. Again, no more F-5E from MY or ID shall be added given FCU and SCU made them redundant.
Still wait for late this year (or maybe mid year if the first airframe airborne or painted) for FA-50M, could be before or after MiG-29N
And uh, doubt Su-30MK/MK2 gonna be added here for a while plus F-2A ADTW is there (unless moved up to 13.7 as considered earlier)

True. Talking about skins I hope Gaijin does a blitz and adds some low tier skins for vehicles that Thailand used from Japan.

unlikely, I asked smin a while back about ZA skins for British aircraft and the answer was a probably not. So I wouldn’t get your hopes up

That’s sad and a missed GE opportunity for Gaijin. Skins are not that difficult to make (like I would know) but much less then a new vehicle model.
I want su-27skm so badly
