Has there been any updates on the F-15IDN?
personally I’ve yet to hear or read about Indonesian pilot flying the Su-35. On the other hand, there’s photos and a video of an Indonesian pilot flying as backseater in Qatari Mirage 2000, months before the government officially anounced the ex-Qatari Mirage procurement.
Officially? No. Unofficially? it’s said that at the moment, it only requires the approval of the president and MoD to go ahead

A rare look at the T.55 internal. Im pretty sure that’s where the magazine is for the standard Vampire, but does anyone know whether there are any differences between that and the Trainer variant?

UPDATE V9: Removed the F-15IDN
With the deadline of the MoU being December 2025 and there hasnt been any news surrounding it, its safe to say that its unfortunately dead (KERIS also mentions it as such). Because of that, I’ve removed the plane from the future Airplanes section. It could very well pull a deus ex machina, but its extremely unlikely at this point

some source about Indonesian aviation 19-45-1950
curiously, it is mentioned that a downed Fairey Firefly is captured and repaired by Indonesian force.

if there’s another mention of it from Indonesian sources then Ill gladly add it in
according to that page it says that F-24 (6-24) is the presumed repaired aircraft, but I dont think its possible for that one specifically
the plane crashed into a mountain and killing the pilot (with the observer surviving but was captured and then went Missing from records)
F-27 looks like this after being shot down, highly doubt AURI has the spare parts necessary to fix it to flying condition
F-13 also crashed heavily at kemayoran
The F-22 made an emergency landing after sustaining gunfire damage, after which the plane burnt down. Pilot did survive the crash (but was KIA after) so its not like there was a major damage with the landing
If we did repaired it then it couldve been either the F-22 or the F-13

Indonesia can go right after the now missing R2Y2. Japan can get the rafale as well to help with top tier as F15JMSI and F2A super kai probably won’t make it to top tier max br. Once decompression occurs, the su30mkm can sit 0.3 br below max br and the rafale sitting at the max br.
Japan directly competing with Britain on who can get most air vehicle from different nations

at this point just rename the japan tree to the south east asia united tree
Very true. But Japan has no way to compete in top tier air at all other than adding indonesia’s rafale and Malaysia’s su30. Thailand’s gripen e is an order as of now so i dont think gaijin will get there yet. The rafale will come first.
EDIT V10:
- Added the J-10B+ & Su-35 to the future aircrafts
a couple of sources mentions it to be J-10CE but that just isnt possible with the limited allocated budget and the timely manner in which they’re wanted. I was still a bit unsure on if it was the B, but now that there’s a good reputable source mentioning the variant im more comfortable putting it in.
Su-35 has always been there, CAATSA has always been a worry but if they’re signing the deal then I assume they know what they’re doing (hopefully)
The plural of aircraft is aircraft btw not aircrafts.

good shout. All fixed now!
tbf we only have two proper chinese aircraft, one is the Type 56 which can very easily be substituted by the Lim-5 since they’re literally identical, another is the J-10 which is a deal a lot of people dont like, and its not like its the top-of-the-line stuff like the VT-4, so i dont think there would be that big of a crowd displeased if it werent there (and its not like its final anyway, it could very well change and be cancelled)

Japan gonna beat Britain on who can get most jet from different vehicle with it only missing the typhoon after this. I should chose Japan as my fourth and final nation
Im surprised you didn’t add the L-29, it could be added as potential Event vehicle (slower and lower BR version of the Strikemaster)
