Question is whether US will authorize Turkey to export those upgrades. The US has always been selective in allowing such national upgrade programs from being exported in competition with US upgrade programs.

They already got this quite far on preparation, and so far seems without US objections, at least that we (public enthusiasts) know off. I suspect they already got green light from US and LM. Guess either Turkiye already got clearence to offer their Ozgur upgrade toward F-16 customer, or Indonesia already offer something else to LM.

DI deliver the 6th of 9 NC-212i for Indonesian Army. Just like the 5th, it is already using new 5 Blade composite propeler. It's been talk that propeler will be retrofit later on toward other NC-212i when Times for propeler replacement come.

DI also offering from what I heard to their other existing NC-212i customer like in Thailand for that configuration set up. For sure this set up also being offer as standard NC-212i set up for next customers.

Few days old, but still no official explanation on what DI and Embrear aim on this collaboration scope. Thus raise some speculation, but personally I speculating on 3 sectors:

1. DI become agent to do MRO and parts provider for existing Embrear products in Indonesia. TNI AU for example already complaining toward Embrear on support for their Super Tucano parts,
2. MRO center for E series, as Embraer also try to break Southeast Asia market,
3. Potential DI as part of C390 supply chain.

The third ones shown more traction on C390 from C130 users, even J ones. TNI-AU from what I heard shown interest on C390 after learning operation experience from current users.
