Indonesia mulls KGGB kit following Thailand's combat debut​

By Ridzwan Rahmat | 03 October 2025

Indonesia has expressed interest in acquiring the Korean GPS-Guided Bomb (KGGB) kit and has requested a formal presentation on the product from South Korea's LIG Nex1.

Sources close to the matter have confirmed to Janes that a presentation on the bomb kit was subsequently made in Jakarta on 30 September after Indonesian interest in the product increased following its first combat deployment in the Cambodia-Thailand border conflict in July.

According to attendance documents that were provided to Janes by one of the sources, the meeting was attended by 26 senior Indonesian Air Force officials including leaders from the strategic planning unit and commanders of Wing 3, Wing 14, Wing 15, and Wing 16 of Air Squadron 3.

The KGGB is a precision-guided glide bomb kit designed to convert conventional Mk 82 general-purpose bombs into long-range, high-accuracy munitions.
