S. Korea, Indonesia to hold last-stage talks over overdue payments for fighter jet project

SEOUL, Nov. 5 (Yonhap) -- South Korea and Indonesia will hold what could be the final round of negotiations in the Southeast Asian country next week to address the latter's overdue payments for a joint fighter development project, informed sources said Friday.
Officials from Korea Aerospace Industries Ltd. (KAI), South Korea's sole aircraft maker, will meet with negotiators from Indonesia's defense ministry, the sources said, as Seoul seeks to squelch lingering concerns over Indonesia's commitment to the 8.8 trillion-won (US$7.4 billion) project, called KF-X.
Kang Eun-ho, head of the Defense Acquisition Program Administration (DAPA), is also expected to visit Indonesia from Tuesday to Thursday to join the Korean negotiation team -- in an apparent show of Seoul's resolve to settle the protracted issue.
Indonesia had agreed to shoulder 20 percent of the new fighter's development cost. But it later stopped making payments, with the amount of the overdue payments currently standing at 704.1 billion won (US$593 million).
During a parliamentary audit last month, DAPA chief Kang expressed confidence that the negotiations with Indonesia will be concluded by November.
Concerns about Indonesia's possible pullout from the project first surfaced when the country brought its technicians involved in the fighter development program in South Korea back to their home country in March last year, citing the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Such concerns eased when Indonesian Defense Minister Prabowo Subianto agreed to resume talks with South Korea over the overdue payments during a visit to Seoul in April, which coincided with a ceremony unveiling a prototype of the country's first indigenous fighter jet named the KF-21 Boramae.
In August, a group of Indonesian technicians returned to Korea, raising expectations that the joint fighter development program will gain traction.

But, jauh panggang dari api
Air force aiming for double engines high performance air supperiority fighter for F5 replacement thou...1.1 billion USD is still enough IMO to fill 1 squadron with F 16 V for our former F 5 squadron. The squadron is in Iswahyudi base with their F 16 MLU and F 16 C/D, already equipped with sufficient F 16 infrastructure and experienced technicians.
We have already had separate budget for new missile acquisition for this 2020-2024 acquisition plan and Sidewinder/AMRAAM/ Maverick missiles are already in inventory coming from previous order.
From the acquisition I hope there will be TOT originally coming from LM for KF21/IFX program for our local industry (which is restricted at the moment). TOT that is needed by our KF21/IFX engineers to fasten their separate R&D program for our own fighter jet development program.

F 16 V for our former F 5 squadron
It can be replaced with F 16 V that is capable to go to Natuna from Madiun. Any way Air Force prefers F 16 V when 2 options are given to our Minister of Defense during previous administration (2014-2019). I had this information from Air Force official during that period ( SU 35 or F 16 V)
TNI-AU would much prefer F-15 than F-16.
the problem is, in higher rank officer and pollitic sense. You will never replace double-engine with single-engine jet. Back then it just like with USSR that reject 100 mm D-10 since smaller than L7 105 mm.
The way out is they remove rifling from 100 mm D-10 then to be 115mm U-5TS gun, make a new APFSDS rounds and all happy ever after.
Thus make on paper presentation have high ratio factors to win the contract.
Since F 16 are from LM, if i may ask why LM lost interest to sell this product to IDAF my dear @Madokafc ?
SpeculativeGeneral Andhika selection and this, there are something going on behind the scene.
F35...its from America and also has 5 on its name.
We are already offered solution about our product and in bundling with solution of some US technology usage in KF21 Boramae , we would glad to act as a bridge to solved the issue between Indonesia, US and South Korea representative. That's why the Indonesian are pinched hard so long beside the financing issue in the fighter procurement project. Though there is some light and deal happened....

With AP as panglima I expect more military cooperation with US and her allies.General Andhika selection and this, there are something going on behind the scene.
I bet when J 35 export variants available would be endorsed by madam ConnieSU35, SU57.
