yes
This is speculation on my part, but there is a chance contracts and promises likely aren’t enough for Gaijin (we saw how the Thai Hornet situation turned out) depending on the reasoning of the ID/MY situation. In the community post, they said that ID would be the next air tree followed by MY some time down the line. However we ended up getting MY with ID possibly delayed. One explanation could be that for an ID subtree, the Raf F4 will be the centerpiece and they could’ve delayed it to wait until ID took delivery of the actual airframes first thinking it would happen before the update.
The alternative explanation is they didn’t want to move onto the Raf F4 yet, but I wouldn’t see why since the F3R we have in game already has some F4 features meaning an F4 wouldn’t add a whole lot over what we currently have. It could also be that they want the F4 to be added when we see the next gen of missiles too.

Its a bit difficult I guess hopfully the Thai sub tree will get her Hawk 75N with the 23mm cannon I dont think they got the plane but they did buy it. Or did they get some?

The other thing Gaijin could wait for is confirmation that construction of the planes has started there are usually some sort of calibration when that happens. Lots of drinks and food with some photos.

Twelve Hawk 75Ns were in service between 1938 and 1949. The plane they ordered but didn’t end up getting was the NA-68 (P-64).

Yeah, I think the Rafale F4s would be quite nice and would add to Japan tree’s already growing portfolio of capable multirole aircraft. (I personally am most excited to have the Rafale F4/Su-30MKM/Gripen E in a single lineup, so I can pick and choose which plane might be the best pick for the ingame situation in GRB)
I joke with friends that Japan tree probably has the potential to be the most Ace Combat-esqe tree out of all nations ingame now.
Rafales don’t use IRIS-T at all, and I don’t think they’re capable of doing so either. They use MICA-IR instead
Update regarding this:
The Ministry of Defense Discusses the Purchase of Italian M-346FA Fighter Jets
The Ministry of Defense said discussions regarding the M-346FA fighter jet were still at an early stage.The Ministry of Defense stated that no decision has been made regarding the purchase of Italian M-346FA fighter jets for the Indonesian Air Force ( TNI AU) . This clarification was issued following information circulating on social media suggesting that Indonesia was in negotiations to purchase 18 of the aircraft.Head of the Defense Information Bureau of the Ministry of Defense’s General Secretariat, Brigadier General Rico Ricardo Sirait, said discussions regarding the M-346FA aircraft were still at an early stage. “No decision has been made regarding the planned purchase of M-346FA aircraft from Italy. Discussions are ongoing and have not yet reached the final stage,” Rico told Tempo on Saturday, December 20, 2025.Rico emphasized that the Ministry of Defense has not yet been able to provide any details regarding the procurement plan. He stated that ongoing discussions mean the government cannot yet confirm the procurement timeline, number of units, or estimated unit price of the aircraft.“Regarding the procurement time, number of units, and estimated unit price, we cannot yet provide information, as it is still under discussion,” he said.He also added that any decision regarding the procurement of major weapons systems would be officially announced by the government after going through all the required stages. “Once a decision is made, it will be announced through official government channels,” Rico said.
Basically confirmed that yes its real, but its in very early stages

Hopefully we get the Na-64 (P-64) and the Hawk 75Ns. The 23mm cannons should be able to top pen a tank.

I hate this meme wholeheartedly because it is silly and ignorant.
isn’t most of those jets have been linked to ID in the past?
that’s the point of meme.
Look what i found today i my local museum (There is more photo but this the only tank in the museum, the rest is artillery and other AFV like Daimler Dingo and Braat Overvalwagen railway armored car)

the guns collection cabinet kinda wack, they mix post war weapons like Madsen M/50 and Pre war/WW2 era Dutch Geweer M.95 in same cabinet, even the label are mismatched like Walther P38 tagged as Polish FB Vis pistol. Also the gun condition is not great like i saw a FN 49 full on mold spot in the cabinet and Lewis gun with weird DP like pan mag
Also i mainly photograph the Firearms there for Enlisted forum
Bonus:
