Let's wait for Pilatus PC-24, as the EES source talk about both M346 and PC-24. Like I said before Italy, Turkey and French seems going to be the winner, even tough Frenchie salesman continue b**ching on Turkey assets, as it is taking share of French sales. Leonardo also already have agreement with Roketsan to integrate their missiles to Leonardo system.
Increasing talk and rumours for PPA and Istif Frigates increase from 2 to 4, thus match the numbers of FMP/Arrowhead 140 of 4, on each type of Frigate. Also even tough DSME 209-1400 refurbishment from what I heard already improve those submarines readiness, the batch 2 for 209-1400 increasingly shown sign will not be taken and MinDef being talk in negotiation with Leonardo for 2 submarine as alternative (instead 3 in current Batch 2).
All this will be using part of budget that being save from F-15EX acquisition. However I strongly believe US made system will come to procurement agenda. However increasingly will not be Fighters. Indonesia already talk want to get Maritime Surveilance and ISTAR assets from US. More helicopters also have good probability.
Fighters so far that in serious talk are additional Rafale. While Su-35E to replace all Su-27 and Su-30 will be upgrade to the latest Mk2 standard. Potentially make 2 SQ of 8-10 Su-30Mk2 and Su-35E each. Again the Flankers from what I heard still create headache to Finance People to find Financing partner that willing to face CAATSA hurdles. So don't be surprises if in the end more Rafale being source.
KF-21 or J-10CE still toss up between both of them. While KAAN is long term project that going to be pursue for next decade. Thus it is also means not a done deal if next election result on different Government.
The M-346 is the best training ecosystem in the world right now.
The deal is for Block 20, thus it is likely being Hawk 200 replacement as LCA. Leonardo press statement already indicate that.
Thus more and more shown KAI assets will stay as trainer whether KT-1B as basic trainer and T/A-50i as LIFT.
