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

https://www.reuters.com/world/asia-pacific/indonesia-says-it-has-entered-agreement-with-india-procure-brahmos-missiles-2026-03-09/?taid=69aea87614087e0001d00a79&utm_campaign=trueAnthem%3A+Trending+Content&utm_medium=trueAnthem&utm_source=twitter

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.

forgot about that one!

intelligenceonline’s pretty credible when it comes to news relating to us in the past, so its most likely true

There are also some talks that the J-10B deal is almost off/stalled (thank god). I think the funds for it went for the HQ-9, but it could also go towards the Jeff17 since we’re also interested in that

From what i understand of one of the indonesian analyst ? or defense journalist ? Indonesia recklessly buying random stuff because they felt like it is about to stop pretty much with their debt rating getting lower etc…

would be a blessing in disguise really, some of these decisions are for lack of a better word riddled with suspicious activities (smells of corruption)

like the Garribaldi, our Turkish broker got the deal for the retrofit, while they havent got a proper dry dock facility for the actual carrier, or the fact that the same broker is facilitating us buying 2 empty hull of frigates for 1 billion USD

thankfully some Italian politicians are already lodging complaints about it which should give some transparency

Speaking of HQ-9, do we know which one exactly?

from what I’ve heard its the FD-2000B, of course dunno how valid that info is

Is there anyone who mentioned MB339AM of Malaysia? I guess that could be a very good CAS for Japanese sub TT, even premium( consider MB326 is so good now)
