ILA 2026 – Indonesia M-346F contract to be signed in July
14/06/2026
By Alan Warnes
According to a senior PT E-Systems management source ‘the company will also integrate its own Indonesian designed Self Protection Jammer, integrate and qualify the Diehl IRIS-T short range air-to-air missile, integrate an indigenous data-link for targeting and cueing distribution, as well as an indigenous light MK-V Delta cruise missile.’
The source continued, ‘PT E-Systems Solutions will also participate in flight testing and in the qualification of Leonardo’s new ITAR-free Airborne Electronically Scanned Array (AESA) Grifo E600, using the company’s own flight test bed.’
This will make the M-346Fs more capable than the 23 surviving TNI-AU F-16C/D Block 52s equipped with the older APG-68 (V) radar, acquired between 2012-18.
The M-346 procurement plans are certainly an ambitious programme, that will see the Block 20 being used in a more capable operational role than in Canada and Austria. A contract is set to be signed by Leonardo and PT E-Systems Solutions on behalf of the Indonesian Ministry of Defence in Jakarta during early July, for the supply of 12 M-346Fs for delivery by early 2028 to replace the surviving BAE Systems Hawk Mk 109/209s delivered in the 1990s. A second tranche of 24 will be contracted in February 2027.

There may have been no M-346 at ILA, Leonardo was still marketing the new Block 20 version of advanced jet

Excerpts.
[Biz Korea] It has been confirmed that Indonesia has completed the payment of its contribution for the joint development of the Korean fighter jet, the KF-21. With the long-standing dispute over the contribution between Korea and Indonesia effectively coming to an end, it is expected to have a positive impact on future negotiations for the Indonesian Air Force's purchase of 48 KF-21s.
With the completion of the contribution payment, attention is now shifting to Indonesia's KF-21 purchase contract. It is reported that Indonesia is currently reviewing a plan to acquire 48 KF-21s in three phases of 16 aircraft each. Among these, negotiations to supply the first 16 aircraft to the Indonesian Air Force are currently underway.
The KF-21 is the first fighter jet to be acquired. According to a comprehensive analysis of local Indonesian sources and domestic reporting, a significant consensus has reportedly been reached regarding the purchase price and delivery schedule for the KF-21. However, internal budget coordination within the Indonesian government remains to be done. It is known that the Indonesian Ministry of Defense, the Ministry of Finance, and the Ministry of National Development Planning (Bappenas) are currently discussing financing methods for the KF-21 purchase. Another variable is the fact that, due to the nature of Indonesia's defense acquisition projects, both foreign loans and domestic procurement budgets are required.
If internal government consultations proceed quickly, there is a possibility that the KF-21 purchase budget will be finally approved around the third quarter. However, the timing of approval could be delayed depending on the method of budget procurement and the results of inter-ministerial coordination. Nevertheless, with the payment of the joint development contribution now complete, it is assessed that negotiations for Indonesia's KF-21 purchase have entered a more advanced phase than before.

Ministry of Defense: Indonesia Not Jointly Producing KF-21, but Purchasing Directly from South Korea
The Ministry of Defense (Kemhan) has revealed that Indonesia is not involved in the joint production of the KF-21 Boramae fighter jet with South Korea.
Instead, Indonesia will acquire the aircraft through a direct purchase scheme from the South Korean government.
"Indonesia is not jointly producing the KF-21 but is purchasing it directly from Korea," stated Air Marshal Yusuf Jauhari, Head of the Defense Logistics Agency (Kabaloghan) at the Ministry of Defense, in Central Jakarta on Friday (June 26, 2026).
Indonesia's plan to acquire the KF-21 Boramae fighter jet from South Korea had not previously reached the final decision stage.
The government stated that the process remains in the exploratory and further negotiation phase. Brigadier General Rico Ricardo Sirait, Head of the Defense Information Bureau at the Ministry of Defense, emphasized in April 2026 that no decision had yet been made regarding the purchase of the new-generation fighter jet.
"We need to convey that the plan regarding the KF-21 Boramae fighter jet is currently still in the exploratory stage," Rico told reporters on Friday (April 3, 2026).
This statement was in response to reports that South Korea was ready to deliver 16 KF-21 units as requested by Indonesia.
He added that the realization of the contract depends heavily on the state budget's capacity and the results of an assessment of the Indonesian National Armed Forces' (TNI) operational requirements.

If that so, why we joint with SK for plane .?

Kemhan: Indonesia Tidak Produksi KF-21 Bersama, tapi Langsung Beli dari Korea Selatan
Kemhan tegaskan Indonesia tidak ikut produksi KF-21 Boramae, melainkan berencana membeli langsung dari Korsel.
If that so, why we joint with SK for plane .?
