South Korea, Indonesia near fighter jet deal​

Following Brazilian President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, Indonesian President Prabowo Subianto is expected to pay a state visit to South Korea in April, government sources said.

The two sides are also reported to have made progress on an additional export contract for South Korea’s domestically developed KF-21 Boramae supersonic fighter jet, a central issue in bilateral relations.

According to the presidential office on Feb. 24, Seoul and Jakarta are coordinating details of Prabowo’s visit. A plan had previously been discussed for him to visit Japan and South Korea after attending China’s Victory Day military parade in September last year, but the trip was canceled amid intensifying anti-government protests in Indonesia. A separate proposal for a December visit also fell through.

An agreement for Indonesia to acquire 48 KF-21 fighter jets in batches of 16 is reportedly close to being finalized. Jakarta initially signed a memorandum of
understanding to purchase the 48 aircraft upon completion of the joint development program.

Hope for the best. Prepare for the worst.

Excuse me, I'd like to ask the experts here:
Is it true that the KAAN is a Gen 5 aircraft, better than the KF 21, which is still Gen 4.5?

KF21 block 1&2 are 4.5th gen, block 3 are 5th gen.

KAAN is designed from the start as 5th gen.
