I hope this is the right thread, but it very much looks like f-15ex won’t happen with boeing stopping trying to push it.

Confirmed. Statement provided by Leonardo themselves
Excerpt
"At Singapore Airshow 2026, Leonardo announced the signing of a Letter of Intent (LOI) with PT ESystem Solutions Indonesia and the Ministry of Defence (MoD) of the Republic of Indonesia aimed at cooperating for the supply and support of the Leonardo M-346 F “Block 20” aircraft to meet Indonesian Air Force operational requirements. "
“The new M-346 F “Block 20” light fighter configuration standard will be equipped with cockpits featuring a Large Area Display (LAD), active electronically scanned radar, a Link 16 data-link, electronic countermeasures, and new weapons systems. Leonardo’s platform simultaneously offers a complete, integrated advanced flight training system - including a GBTS (Ground Based Training System), combined simulated elements and scenarios with real flights according to a Live, Virtual and Constructive (LVC) logic - with additional light combat capabilities for air-to-air and air-to-surface missions, enabled by advanced mission systems, equipment and sensors, also including aerial refuelling capability.”

After delays, 2 out of 6 airframe has been delivered via cargo, seems that with the possible new arrival of the M-346, the trainer role will be handed to that, whereas this could possibly be used as a dedicated fighter

based on the statement provided during the livestream it seems there will be a focus for toll roads to be used as impromptu runways. Technically not the first, since some parts of the Jagorawi tollroad near Jakarta was also designed as such
Check out how close the landing was to the cars on the road:
Edit:
with this we have 3 ID rafale airframes currently in the testing phase (2x Single-seater, 1x Dual-seat) presumably that means that the second batch to be delivered will be those three
EDIT2:
Anoa PK20 suggestion up! feel free to check it out!

Okay that is where I heard it. I hope they invest more into ground when Thailand got added it felt really anemic as Thailand still has some low tier vehicles though I’m happy with the BTR. Also there are a few other Thai BTRs I think we can get.

Just the ATGM carrier variant with 4 R2s but no gun.
Indonesia had the BTR-4 though! With a similarly equipped combat module.
FV101 Scorpion my beloved
Hope it’s the upgraded fancy unit, the LRF would be funny with such a mid gun

The skin represented Indonesian Su-27SK, which is (iirc) basically just the same as basic Su-27 in-game. We could still get the Indonesian Su-27SKM, which has aerial refueling probe, R-77-1, better avionics, and maybe other stuff that I forgot.

It has a 12.7 mm heavy machine gun that would be useful for destroying walls and obstacles in the game.

confirmation that BrahMos is being purchased
do note the quote above, rather than denying the plan to integrate brahmos for the flankers, they merely just said that it hasn’t been purchased yet,so now I think there is a real possibility of that happening

Forgot to post here:
Indonesia will receive Trisula O/U ADS-400 MERAD/LORAD as well as the HQ-9 (FD-2000) LORAD in the 2nd half of 2027

Additionally, a deal for 16 KF-21 Block II is awaiting confirmation. The first batch is expected to arrive in mid-2028. Apparently the contract signing will took place during the president's visit to SK at the end of March.
