I wonder what aircraft will be next on Indonesia’s wishlist next week, Gripen anyone ? lol

HARM is faster, better range, and with later versions has ways to hit even without emissions. It would also be very easy to intercept loitering ALARM

Speed might come into play, but not necessarily a huge difference

Range is irrelevant given the map sizes. Both will be usable at the max ranges you can realistically actually achieve in-game in GRB. In other gamemodes, its not really gunna make that much difference iether and who cares about killing Ai.

and they could get the same IOG code. But it really depends on what version of AGM-88 is actually added.

Not without switiching the radar back on, and if you’ve got 9 coming straight down onto you, some would probably struggle to deal with that (Like the CLAWS only has 8 missiles, so 1 is getting through) , if nothing else, if combined with a second CAS aircraft, you are going to have a hell of a time defending, all whilst draining missiles and thats just figuring at 13.0.

ALARM could be present vs 11.7 stuff too. Im not sure what an ADATS or even a Pantsir would do vs 9x ALARM

well…

This one has been confirmed by Defence Ministry

M-346FA

and unofficial sources mentions these, the jeff is only interest at this moment, Su-35 meanwhile was mentioned as has been contracted

werent there also rumours about them wanting to buy the J-10C?

from what i’ve googled, it seems they are

so Japan would be able to get the following through Indonesia:

  • J-10
  • JF-17
  • Su-35
  • Rafale

and they can also get the Gripen E through Thailand

seems like it was worth it, to get the F-2A ADTW

ye, Japan will be stacked with indonesia

doesnt that barely exist right now

Saab has today signed a contract with the Swedish Defence Materiel Administration (FMV) and received an order for four Gripen E/F fighter aircraft from FMV for the Kingdom of Thailand. The order value is approximately SEK 5.3 billion and deliveries will take place 2025-2030 - Source.

High cost for just 4 aircraft explained in another article

Additionally, a local Gripen maintenance, repair and overhaul hub will be established, and Thai companies will join the Gripen supply chain with opportunities to make components like tyres, bearings, clamps and airframe parts.

The training support part of the package encompasses six pilots, 18 maintainers and two support staff. From 2025-29, Saab will provide a mission support system for network-centric flight planning and training, plus a maintenance ground support system for logistics management and maintenance. - Source

and more

So it could be basically anytime in the next few years. The moment they do get delivered, they technically become a viable option to be added.

refurbished J-10Bs. The reason why is because the gov wanted it fast, and we cant get fast if we’re getting the new production model, so its most likely just going to be second-hand J-10B models

TH-ID-MY has quite a lot of decent/good options for throughout the ranks (ground, air & naval), not just for top tier

example (only with Indonesia)

Cavalier Mustang, OV-10F, Invader with 75mm, etc. Its good but i still think China has the better “future” options considering how many stuff is still missing

Most likely Iran, the deal was just signed in 2025 so its a bit unlikely for us to immediately have it. Some commenters mentioned that it doesnt have the IFF on the leading edge wing so its possible that its ours since we keep trying to cheap out on the Sukhois (lmao) but i still think its unlikely

might be but i read somewhere that they wanted to build it in iran rather than having it shiped by flight.

but like i said, we need to wait until the paint is done.

Spoiler

something tells me that this plan could fall through

Arent the IRGC and iranians generally staunch believers in full technology transfers? Which the russians arent interested in at all

no these are the india that wanted the tech transfers with su57 program. i never heard of iran demanding tech transfer.

Wait what Indonesia purchases JF-17?

Also I dont think both J-10 and JF-17 going to be added to Japan tree without getting outraged by Mainland (hint hint VT-4).

I mean it make sense since the JF-17 is like an Asian version of the Gripen iirc and that could replace their F-16’s
