The Block 20 standard adds an AESA radar, a Link 16 data link, electronic countermeasures, new weapon options and revised cockpit displays. Signed alongside PT ESystem Solutions Indonesia, the contract localises support, maintenance, overhaul and training in-country. Deliveries are scheduled to begin in 2030.
