Pero no crean que ellos no han hecho algo por su cuenta. Lo que pasa es que sus movidas militares no son muy conocidas por estos lados, precisamente porque andamos más pendientes de China, Japón y Corea del Sur. Pero varios países de la zona sí que han hecho sus vainas. De lo que recuerdo: Vietnam ha comprado más Sukhoi Su-30, buques FAC y fragatas con misiles por montones. Indonesia ha ido ampliando su armada gradualmente, así como su ala de combate. Malaysia ha hecho lo mismo, más que todo en su Fuerza Aérea. Taiwán se ha armado con sigilo y fuerte. Y ni qué decir de Singapur, que si bien no pierde aguas con China, sí sería un gran perjudicado en caso que China se quede con todo eso que reclama...

Austria confirms Indonesia wants to buy its Eurofighters
News reports in Austria say Indonesia has written an official letter to buy 15 Eurofighters from Austria.
The letter was from Indonesia’s Defense Minister Prabowo Subianto to
his Austrian counterpart Klaudia Tanner. The Austria Defense Ministry
has confirmed that the letter was received. The letter was dated Jul.
10.
Subianto has also stated in his letter that he understands the issue
of the Eurofighter in Austria is sensitive due to a corruption probe
into the purchase of the 15 aircraft. He added that the sale offers
opportunities for both sides.
Austria had previously said it wanted to retire those fighters
starting from this year and replace them with another type of aircraft
such as the Gripen or F-16.
Back in 2017, Austria launched a probe into the purchase of the
fighters, alleging that Airbus had paid brides during the competition.
Indonesia is looking to replacing its F-5 with new fighters and had
signaled that it intends to buy the Su-35. However, the deal to buy the
Russian fighters has never been signed.
The South East Asian nation had also indicated last year that it intends to buy two squadrons of F-16s this year.
