Expanded List of Indonesian Vehicles - Air

I’ve seen a couple of people mentioning this as the new heli

TANSFORYOU™ on Instagram: "TANSFORYOU ™| KEDATANGAN MI-35P DARI RUSIA, YANG TELAH DITERIMA PADA TANGGAL 30 & 31 JULI 2026. #viral #military #tni #indonesia #military"

But I dont think thats the case at all. the two helis seen in the post are 7152 & 7154, which are the older Mi-35Ps we already have. For instance HS-7154 was the one who took part in the 2020 incident where it caught a Toyota Ertiga and dragged it upwards, so it couldnt be new (footage here if y’all wanna see that)

It could be a refurbishment? but why would they classify it as new then? We’ll have to wait for more info i guess

FYI Hawk 209 will be a GE vehicle, currently it has a 30% discount

isnt it still horrid tho?

Also, the video in that post in itself was first uploaded to Tiktok in March 2026 (video)

Yeah, imo it feels heavy and kinda underpowered for an LCA

not only that, it got no line-up whatsoever.

but maybe Harimau MMWT and Leopard 2A4+ in 10.7 can fix that 😉😉(Gaijin pls)

yeah its not that great, they could give it 6x missiles but then the BR would increase, and thats not good for the future 10.7 lineup

No discussion about J-10, or because there’s no point talking about something that’s already a done deal? :v

actually big if true, can freed up the limited budget allocs for things that would be useful (inb4 700 trillion VVIP jets instead)

Nah, how about $1B procurement plan for golf carts /s

$1.6B can probably get us 8 IF-21.
Or maybe bribe to get KAI to allow PTDI more involvement in the production lol

Air Force Historical Service newest post on Instagram stating that the modified T-33 could carry bombs, though the info are nothing new. Also, theoretically those info are likely to be incorrect.

A Su-30MK2 overshoot in South Sulawesi today. A first for TNI’s Su-30

Interestingly, looks like it has a single colour plain livery. Maybe it was undergoing overhaul and soon to be repainted.

Hopefully no hull lost :(

Still under investigation, thankfully it didnt skidded off into the highway

couldve been real bad. That road is always packed too

The Indonesian Air Force revealed the cause of the Sukhoi Su-30 MK2 fighter aircraft out of the runway at Sultan Hasanuddin Land, Maros Regency, South Sulawesi, Monday (24/8/2026). Aircraft experience technical constraints on the braking system when undergoing a series of tests after heavy maintenance or overhaul. The incident did not cause any casualties.

so after being overhauled it crashed, amazing

from the higher quality photos it seems to only have a grey primer coat as its paint, so it supports it being a test failure

Nothing burger, but interesting nonetheless. Just means Indonesia is allowed to buy F-15 if they want :v

Alman Helvas on X: "ID's plan to buy F-15EX been dead since December 2025 after LOA expired because MoD didn't sign it. Despite ID mentioned on the latest US DoD contract announcement, it doesn't mean EX been resuscitated. There was suspicion the contract was built when US still negotiate with ID." / X

Made this schematic of possible KAI T-50i weapon loadout.

IRL, the T-50i is usually only seen carrying AIM-9s and drop tanks, but it wouldn’t be the first time Gaijin equipped an aircraft with its potential armament (However, I tried to strictly use weapons that are already in the TNI AU’s actual inventory to keep it more or less grounded.)

what could be added/corrected?

Edit:
V2: added 7x3 FFAR with LAU-131 in TER.

The 15th Air Squadron, as the T-50i operator, uses the smaller 7-tube FFAR launchers, either the LAU-131 or Sari Bahari-made rocket pods.



Sari Bahari rocket pod

Up to three LAU-131 could be mounted on a station by using the TER, so in total T-50i could carry 6 LAU-131 launchers (42 FFAR rockets).


LAU-131 rocket pods mounted on TER

I don’t know whether multiple Sari Bahari rocket pods could be mounted on a TER or not.

15th Air Squadron comment on TER capability

EDIT: Despite reports by other sources, to date TNI-AU is yet to officially release a statement regarding the exact radar model used by T-50i
