Their tanks and other land vehicles can be cost effective. Ships and subs, not so much. KF-21 is a vaporware that isn't going to compete with Rafale or EF anytime soon, much less 5G

No matter, Indonesia has just signed a deal for 48 Kaan from Turkiye. This will give them a fleet consisting of:
>F-16
>Su-30
>FA-50
>Rafale
>Kaan
>KF-21
>J-10C
This will be the most powerful airforce in Asia
>>
>>65282301
isnt that incredibly stupid? having so many different planes from different manufacturers is a nightmare scenario for maintenance and repair. they will have a handful of combat ready jets with 90% of the fleet being stuck in maintenance forever and pilots that can only fly 1 or 2 planes out of the 160 or so they will have on paper.

Indonesia should be investing in the world's most robust coast guard and eco-warrior bullshit to save their fishing grounds. And sinking chinese trawlers.
>>
>>65282578
that's about it, yes
they initially had a Communist leader who used Communism to attempt annexation of the neighbouring countries, Malaya, Singapore and Borneo; it was actually THE major Asian conflict of the 50s besides Korea
the Cold War British Army was forged in Indonesia, developing now-familiar tactics as SAS, commando carriers, helicopter assaults and helicopter gunships, firebases and forward operating bases supplied by helicopter, etc all to fight Communist Indonesia

the Indonesians also genocided their ethnic chink population in the 70s and then again in the 90s, and to this day enact cultural genocide on any non-Indonesian citizen with something close to 30s-era Third Reich controls on non-Polynesian ethnicities (not permitted to have non-Indon names, not permitted to own land and property for longer than 20 years, various other microaggressions)

like Saudi Arabia, it walks a fine line between fundamentalist Islamism and straight-up jihadi Islamism. local politics involves playing one against the other, besides ethnic conflicts between "pureblood" Indons and mutt Indons. the fundies were helped significantly by the fact that the 2004 December tsunami wrecked Acheh, the main Indojihadi stronghold. (at the time the US was actually involved in mediating talks between the factions, as part of the GWOT.) the fundies of course labelled the tsunami the judgement of Allah.

Lol wut? Malaysian here. Indons on average are FAR MORE industrious, and smarter than the average Arab. They are a simple straight forward people and they only vice is inheriting the Dutch penchance to penny pinching. This cancellation is a result of their haggling and penny pinching tendencies. Otherwise, Indons are more civilised than any Middle Eastern nation.

Looking at how the US turns a blind eye to Israelis killing women and children, Indonesians fear they would be treated similarly to Palestinians if there were conflicts, for example, between Indonesia and Australia. Historically, Indonesia has been mistreated by the US and Australia before. Indonesian has more realistic view of relationship with Superpower.

In fact, Indonesia is the one who has to worry even though it is non-aligned but is surrounded by American military bases. such as in Singapore, Papua New Guinea, Australia, etc. there is a possibility that other countries will attack it to take its resources, for example, Australia, which has a military backup from the US, could help Papua become completely independent, especially as Indonesia's military equipment is much more outdated than Australia's. especially because Indonesia is flanked by China and Australia, where the issue will definitely be related to the blurred South China Sea and Australia's potential to help Micronesia push for the liberation of Papua... so maintaining and increasing Indonesia military strength is important

Indonesia is desperate for air power but keeps getting cucked.

Their neibours mostly just got better AtA missiles for their existing f16s, Australia got the F-35, and made a huge leap with drone integration, knock off himars are all being proliferated at 2mil US a pop, and having already attacked every single county they border, Indonesia aligning with China is now looking more and more foolish by the day as Chinese state corporations won't sell gen4 because of their domestic air superiority deficit.

I laughed hard when I saw news that the US is going to sell F-35s to Singapore. The moment those jets land in Singapore there is going to be an army of Chinese spies ready to dig into whatever areas they haven't stolen already.

Many seething Australians on /k/ have already been sounding the alarm since the US decided to sell the F-35 to Singapore as they believe it compromises Australia's air defense to China. While the US can afford to replace the F-35 with something new in 20 years Australians are going to be stuck with them for at least 50.

>>65291079
F-35 can fight Malaysian and Philippines but not against Indonesia when their Rafale andJ10C (with AWACS) and maybe KF-21/KAAN arrives.

F-35 are over hyped by this board. That old plane is no match for the Rafale and at most at par with Gripen or EuTyphoon. all defeated by J10C

You tell me how is the F-16 able to even match the J10C. J10C has AESA GaN radar and more TR/m means it can scan longer distance than the old F16s with old radar. J10C has the PL16 range far exceed the F-16 AIM-120 .

So J10C will detect first the F16 fire and go home while the F16 will be jumping like monkeys in the sky to avoid the dual pulse mach 4 PL15 with AESA radar. No escape.

Even the new F-35 if J10c paired with AWAC to detect stealth, J10C faster speed and longer range PL15 will prevail. No match for China's J10C and J35 combination . Chinese kill chains are years ahead of anything US/Australia has.

Indonesia is getting the J10C at a fraction of the cost .... and that alone with AWACS can destroy the F-35 which is subsonic (1.6 afterburner) vs J-10c mach 2.2 . That means the J-10C/Rafale can fly rings around the F-35

AWAC can detect the F-35 , J-10C fires the missiles long before the F-35 Aim120 can fire. Same with Rafale/KF-×1 with Meteor

Holy fuck, it's a Frog-Chink hybrid dicksucker. What a rare breed!

Also the F-35 sucks so much that Turkey keeps on begging America for them despite having the KAAN program while South Korea keeps buying more F-35s (btw both the KAAN and KF-21 use American engines lol)

Did indonesia even need a 5th gen fighter jet? anything above f-16 is overkill considering their only problem would be insurgency which even an attack helicopter would suffice. If WW3 came to it either make the 1 month invasion of Iraq looks like a joke or we would be relatively unscathed with proper countries being too busy with each other to bother with our random shithole.
