Indonesia are also looking at KF-21, wouldn’t it be easier to cash in on the KF-21 Blk3 in the future?

Well indonesia will most likely stop trying to buy everything now.

Seems the pain of market’s less confidence on ID fiscal policy has been felt MoD. MoD plan to spend huge this year for defense equipment finance by foreign loan may not move forward. Only a few programs will move forward. Previously, MoD seems feel immune from fiscal challenges.
temporarily halted =/= cancelled
some take a long, long time to materialize, especially if its “higher priority”, besides this isnt really something new, we’ve had budget constraints before

It seems in the future japan tree will have a nice selection of modern jet trainers

FA-50M-Malaysian
M-346F BlK 20-Indonesia
T-50I-Indonesia
For Japan currently there is a competition to replace T-4s below are the candidates unkown if any would be armed (likely not) but worth mentioning still.
T-X (MHI)-Japan
T-7-Japan
M-346-Japan

Trainers are nice especially with there ability to be a light strike fighter hopefully we also see some of there COIN aircraft so infantry mode will have some useful air support
Some of Japans domestic trainers prototypes could be armed some of there trainers have been known to use practice bombs which are just a normal bomb with concrete fill (in theory could be a normal bomb also concrete practice bombs have been used in anger against buildings with snipers)

Havent seen this being mentioned yet, Malaysia will apparently test the Arma 6x6 with the MIZRAK-25 turret, the vehicle was spotted in PUSASDA (I think that’s what its called, the article calls it: Malaysian Army’s test campus)

I just realized this bit a moment ago from my discord server, damn even the 52ID won’t survive.
I thought with the Turkish craze happen lately they could’ve offer OZGUR upgrades to those Block 25-but-with-Block 52-internals. And, platform wise would it be a slightly downgrade as M346 is a subsonic even with advanced sensors and weaponry (if MICA does integrate to it)?

well, there was plans to upgrade it to the ozgur 2 standard, but IIRC lockheed blocked the program so we cant really do anything about it (i think i wrote it in the ID air suggestion) but I dont think itll be replaced anytime soon
originally it was speculated that the t-50 is going to get the boot, but based on the article the m346 is planned to replace the hawks alongside the inbound rafale

Malaysia might be locally manufacturing this from China: Dongfeng MENGSHI
Is there any information of any weapons like ATGMS or stuff that can be bolted on to this?
ATGM carrier:
30mm cannon turret:
There’s also more variants featuring what I’m assuming are medium range AA missiles, rapid firing mortars and loitering ammunitions

I haven’t used Thai Albatros yet, but aren’t 76x Hydras / 16x Zunis with CCIP at 7.3 kinda busted? It set the newest minimum for the CCIP (the lowest was SAAB-105G at 8.3, now 8.7)
Is probably going to go up soon so take advantage of it right now! Too bad I’m at work
Yuuuup.
It’s solid even at 8.3, (and stupid cheap, at 8.3 its literally a single kill to get in it).
Hopefully it doesn’t go up too high before the next maus epidemic, the Zuni’s bully the hell out of mauses
Tbh it should have started at 8.0-8.3, because I can see how people will blame the plane and make it move to 8.7-9.0 – to the Alpha Jet, where it has no point of being
Nothing in game can be truly balanced too many moving parts. Sometimes it just better to have a few broken vehicles just so you get that boss battle feeling and have to go get the big guns or be punished.
