    Indonesia Indonesian Air Force, Tentara Nasional Indonesia-Angkatan Udara (TNI-AU)

    Do you know what 'available data' he is referring to? According to the official information brochure of IDAM2022, a bunch of Russian shipbuilding & marine companies are expected to attend the expo anyway. Indonesian Navy chief of staff admiral Yudo Margono admitted back in March, THIS year (it...

    TR HÜRJET-Advanced Jet Trainer/ Light attack aircraft

    Boeing showcased its T-7A prototype to the public (probably it was assembled at least once in Sweden before September) in mid-September and flew the aircraft in mid-December. Hurjet's 1st prototype should have been already completed if TAI is still intended to fly the 1st prototype in December...

    Indonesia Indonesian Air Force, Tentara Nasional Indonesia-Angkatan Udara (TNI-AU)

    Yes, it will. However, this is another thing. When Indonesia signed a contract with Korea back in 2016 and made initial payment, both sides understood that Indonesia would fund R&D and manfucature IF-X Block I which would focus on air-to-air mission with modification required by the Indonesian...

    Indonesia Indonesian Navy, Tentara Nasional Indonesia-Angkatan Laut (TNI-AL)

    It is interesting how this will resolve. At the end, Indonesia already signed a contract for DSME 1400. DSME trusted Indonesia of fulfilling its contract and ordered parts, but Indonesia hasn't executed the order and DSME has lost money for parts that have not been used. Korea will seek the...

    Indonesia Indonesian Air Force, Tentara Nasional Indonesia-Angkatan Udara (TNI-AU)

    It doesn't look good on Indonesia and its genuineness with budgetory issues when Indonesia is still on defence shopping spree with Dassault Rafale & Boeing F-15EX and more. It gives Korean the perception that Indonesia is abandoning the joint KF-X/IF-X project and not honoring its contractual...

    Indonesia Indonesian Strategic Industries

    I am not sure KAI is participating, but brochure for IDAM 2022 indicates that Korean defense Industries have formed association and will be at the expo together and there is a picture of KF-21 Borame. Would there be a prototype or at least a mock-up of IF-X? This will be interesting. Also, it...

    Indonesia Indonesian Air Force, Tentara Nasional Indonesia-Angkatan Udara (TNI-AU)

    You may find pictures of a warehouse and a bunch of tools for IFX production lines online, but what Korean reps have discovered is that investment has been inadequate since the current Indonesian government took over and Indonesia's production lines aren't ready for IF-X production. The...

    Indonesia Indonesian Air Force, Tentara Nasional Indonesia-Angkatan Udara (TNI-AU)

    One of reasons that Korean doubt Indonesia's seriousness with the KF-21 project is that the Indonesian govt hasn't much invested in local manufacturing of IF-X. Indonesia is supposed to finish building infrastructure & assembly lines if the country is to produce the fighter jet from Q1 of 2024...

    TR Defence Exports & Updates

    Ukraine-Russian War was the best commercial for Bayraktar TB2. Even though I suspect many American allies like Australia will opt to acquire American UAV over Turkish UAV, I think Bayraktar will keep rolling in the markets where they aren't obliged to buy American weapons and have a choice to...

    TR Casual Discussion TOGG - Türkiye's Automotive Joint Venture Group

    1 million vehicles to be produced each year by 2030 or 1 million vehicles in accumlation by 2030? Either ways, that is an ambitious target for an unknown brand. I might say a bit too optimistic when Gurcan Karakas, CEO of TOGG, admits to Bloomberg that the initial target is to produce...
