the idea to procure MiG-29, while already having the much more superior Su-27/-30, still doesn't make sense to me. So yes, "diversification" is just an excuse to commit corruption

Mig 29 and M346 from E-Sollution still not being confirmed but I suspect M346 as Hawk 200 replacement will have much stronger probability to be execute. M346F is also rumours part of procurement condition frm Italy Parliement grant for Garibaldi, including PPA and Sub.

Indonesia is corrupt country, no doubt about that. However corruption still happen even in every corner of the world. In other case, even text book G to G scheme for F-16 and AH-64E, still can be corrupted Dihukum Seumur Hidup, Brigjen Teddy Selewengkan Dana Pembelian F16 dan Apache. Thus it should be differed between corruption and haphazard procurement policies.

Corruption practices has to be proven, and if later on current procurement can be proven, and like the corruption case on AH-64E, then it will be later on shown eventually. Even G to G with US there're brokerage that involve. Boeing and LM also use sales lobby. Perhaps current brokerage like E-Sollution in fact just more 'visible' in their practices compare to other 'western' brokerage, that can be camouflage under G to G agreement.
