Missing Scorpion 90 “Late” for Indonesia
Missing Scorpion 90 “Early” for Malaysia

Me angie
didnt Malaysia also tested a vickers tank? forgot what it was
Based on Gaijin’s guideline on the vehicles if it were only tested by Malaysia then it goes for Malaysia

BTW the J-10 is not a J-10CE but rather apparently a J-10B

They tested the Vickers MBT Mk3 iirc
i see, well if they’re the only ones to’ve tested it then its fair game i think
Eh, the MBT Mk.3 was adopted by Nigeria, and no “special” variant was developed specifically for Malaysia, so I doubt it?
Might be able to get the model with ERA? Iirc only Malaysia tested that one, though it was mostly intended as a general export model.
I doubt there’s much need for one in the JP tree, a Scorpion 90 would basically fill the same 8.3 BR spot and is an adopted vehicle.
wasn’t the malaysian one is a mk3M and it was made for Malaysia?
it’s a bit of a misnomer
the M is just Modernised, the intent was to use the Malaysian trials to get AESAN orders in general :shrug:
Hopefully the Philippines isnt forgotten 🙏
As the one nation in ASEAN that has an actual military pact with Japan, and uses modern Japanese equipment, it would be remiss to not even consider its addition to the Japanese TT. Still I fully welcome Malaysia’s entry to the Japanese TT, the more the merrier - and its one step closer to the ASEAN Founders subtree. Anyhow, the Philippines can be perfectly suited as a subtree for a United Korea so Im not really complaining (even if I prefer it to be a Japanese subtree).
The Philippines might not offer much anywhere but in the helicopter tech tree, it would be fun to see the T-129B Atak and AW-159 Wildcat (especially this one to bring F&F capabilities with the Spike NLOS). The AH-1S we once had is actually a “Tzefa” variant from Jordan so should be able to use Spikes as well but was never fitted since it was only used to train our pilots for the eventual T-129B Atak helos. Our A109E Power also uses APKWS rockets bringing some form of guided weaponry to the platform.

At least that means it could come earlier In War Thunder. Indonesia is truly a War Thunder optimized airforce.

I would love to see the Super Tucano — one in the tech tree and maybe one as a premium (Indonesia + Philippines) — along with the Thai AT-6TH Wolverine.
Also, the Thai OV-10 Bronco that was later donated to the Philippines and received modernization upgrades.

Japanese delegation visited Indonesian Defence Company PT.PINDAD
notable excerpt:
Meanwhile, Maj. Gen. Ito Yuichiro, Deputy Director General of the Defense Plans and Policy Department, stated that the purpose of his visit was to discuss and deepen understanding of defense equipment products with PT Pindad. He hopes this agenda will open up opportunities for collaboration between Japan and Indonesia through PT Pindad.
“We understand that Pindad is a strong state asset and capable of directly producing the Indonesian National Armed Forces’ weapons needs. There are many discussions we can have, but we are primarily interested in research and development related to defense equipment products. We hope this meeting can bridge future collaboration between the two parties,” explained Ito Yuichiro.
could be interesting

Mitsubishi - Kawasaki - Ishikawajima-Harima - PINDAD cooperation?
Would be sick as
So uhh guess the ID Sukhoi will live another day:
Through Belarus so should be safe from CAATSA. And apparently the retrofit will be done in Makassar, so probably not that major of an upgrade i dont think

Is is possible if we just send those Sukhois to China for them to upgrade to J-11B/BG standard? It’s fundamentally the same airframe with only detachable parts like Radar, Engine, HUD, cockpit displays, Pylon, Missile, and small non-altering addition like MAW Radome that are being replaced, right?
It was already mentioned in the post but when the contract was effective (circa 2024) there were no serious plans on buying the J-10, as such the contract went to Belarus instead. Belarus has been the one to do repairing and did past upgrades so its not a surprise, they even worked on our Hind fixes as well
Casually swap them for Su-35 when nobody is looking
