it wasnt canceled
it is still on hold, all Indonesia has to do is signing the contract

They have been painting their Su-27/30 in suspiciously Su-35ish camo patterns though.
(But yes, so far no Indonesian Su-35, all of these are just potential future plans that may or may not happen)

The Japanese tree doesn’t need those anyways, considering they can get Rafales
Indonesia’s 2026 General Procurement Plan
Juliet = J-10
Surabaya = Su-35
some of the sukhois were meant to arrive this month for the Armed Forces Anniversary, but they got delayed to 2027

There’s also discussion on us trying to get the Su-57 (very very early stages), so thats atleast 3 future 5th gen types for ID

Never played Ace Combat, always thought it was a bit too arcade-y
Mihaly is a proud Indonesian patriot

Don’t care about that, this is purely Ace Combat Indonesian air force discussion.
Also I doubt any of these would even be there in time to be top tier, as far as the game is concerned they’ll just be some nice flavor later down the line if they even go through with these plans in the first place.
Though I do have high hopes for the M-346FI since it seems to be a fairly unique variant and of course the IF-21 that’s the first (joint) domestic combat aircraft since the NU-225 in 1957.

I think they might just be bad with the money they have unfortunately

on the note of Indonesian vehicles i am surprised Gaijin hasn’t thrown an Indonesian Su-30 Premium at japan yet lol…

More planes like the M-346 are always nice to see and the KAI KF-21 derivates would be very interesting to get in-game
Would love to see the T-50 alongside those

Take the premium Su-30MK2 and slap an Indonesian camo on it
Bam, new premium

Keep in mind a vehicle doesn’t have to be delivered to be considered as long as it’s pretty solid that it will make it though this doesn’t apply to every vehicle still something to consider
In theory we could already get Thai Gripen Es since they are already in production

I’m not sure if the case for the Su-35 would be solid enough, even with that in mind
I was implying more towards the m-346 since they already signed the contracts for it so seems that definitely will happen
Im theory Japan could probably even get their own F-15JSI upgrades early since that also has been ordered iirc and if im not mistaken i think even have entered the works but there have been severe delays

I though that Malaysia too was thinking of the Su-57 ?
