It is similar, I can show you the news from comment from KF21/IFX project manager from Indonesia. Previously there should be a different in refueling system where IFX will use probe and KF21 will use boom system, but later this year it is confirmed that it will be the same, both using boom system.

Stealth is in the skin ( fuselage ) while Indonesia Aerospace will produce the fuselage components for all KF21/IFX, not only Indonesian IFX. The detail I have already posted above this post.

USA doesnt provide 4 critical technology where one of them will be AESA and this will be developed by Korean with Israel assistance.

The problem with USA in term of Indonesia participation is not due to the application, but TOT coming from USA where it is part of USA promise to Korea after SK bough F 35 from USA. You do understand the difference between TOT and application right ?
Obviously things are changing over time, Indonesia had not been happy with the ways things were with IFX and was dragging feet when it came to make payments which seems to have paid off towards getting a better plane. I am unaware what national security threats Indonesia is facing other than possible hostility from China and which countries the IFX is meant to be usable against but every piece of American equipment is given with calculated outcomes. Mainly the engines.

Mainly the engines.

Look, I know about the project from the insider ( KF21/IFX junior/senior engineers) themselves. The components that will be produced now have increased compared to previous deal. The engineers support the program.

The problem is more related to people who wants to keep importing foreign fighter where kick back maybe the possible reason. The other problem is regarding Sri Mulyani Indrawati, our Finance Minister. She has too much economic point of view, and it may be the possible reason of why Indonesia Aerospace gets funding for N 219 project in early 2014 despite the program has been started around 2004. The fund then being used to make several prototypes ( flyable and static prototypes) and doing test until it gets certification. Sri Mulyani was not Indonesia Finance Minister during second term SBY administration (2009-2014) while she was FM in first term ( 2004-2009). She was in World Bank during her absent as Managing Director. Jokowi has called her since Jokowi first term and she is our FM now.

The deal with South Korea has been reached in November this year, AlhamduliLLAH.

TAI - Subsonic large wind tunnel
SAGE - Supersonic large wind tunnel
? ( likely SAGE or Roketsan ) - Hypersonic wind tunnel

All these facilities will be jointly managed by TR-TEST and the partners who oversees the construction to maximize the usage efficiency, making these facilities accessible to world and companies in Turkey.

If UAE pulled out of the F-35 deal , would they join the TF-X program ?
The LTS is rather a tempting to buy co-op proposal. My only complaint is I wanted the UAE to have both the F-35 and LTS and tell me what their red vs blue exercises were like

It won't be good as F35 We shouldn't fool ourselves.
F35 made by several countring in span of 15 years We are talking about US and other countries.
TFX will be like typhoon or rafale not a true fifth gen fighter
4.5 gen jets are better anyway so


maybe, but ther is no off switch from other side of the world.

The geometry will be fifth gen. The engine's stealth character is questionable. And I have read no info about ram coatings so far. TFX will be better than Rafale or Typhoon. But it's too early for it to be compared with other fifth-gen fighters.

Same has been said for F16 as well just be realistic.

Im a supporter of MMU but Just saying It won't be good as F35 tbh design is very good against 4.5 gen fighters this makes MMU a 4.7 jet without stealth engines

At this moment Question and Answer is showing How west Apply Embargoes and On purpose Forced and destroy Indonesia Dream Project and -> Destroy Country Defense sector.

This is Approach from west is already applied and Continue on Türkiye. But Türkiye continue and build platforms which a Competitive and even Better products.This make Türks to be proud .

But we have to be Realist here there are West and Wannabe german, usa, russian, Türks which are are not Happy and continue to predict that What ever Turkiye Mil plan to produce Will be NOT good, or less than west or it will fail or it will be 4.99999999999999 gen but NOT 5 gen.

I am really happy and proud with Türkiye and Türks they keep surprise other haters and traitors. I think they ( wannabes, haters and traitors ) are in state of agony
