Agree with you. But for the time being, based on the official source, Indonesian gov't wants to use those F16, along with shukoi and T 50, to fill the gap until KFX is ready (by 2020 estimated). I'm not capable to say whether they are right or wrong, but I believe they have their own...

Fortunately, they're not from gulf and afghan wars. I'm not an aeronautical engineer, so I can't comment on possible extesion of airframe lives of those F16. But I believe Indonesia isn't lack of experts who know about possible airframe lives of those F16 (they have PT DI/Indonesia Aerospace in...

I suppose you didn't read that Indonesia is also buying new shukoi (some have been delivered). Some of those 30 F16 can be canibalized in case there will be future sanctions. I also don't think that the US will give another sanction to Indonesia which will make it siding with China. Indonesian...

Indonesia isn't building up its military, they're only trying to meet the so called "minimum essential force" necessary to guard its area...actually those 3 submarines (and 2 other older submarines) aren't enough based on that MEF..

sorry, I'm confused, are you correcting me or anybody else? First, as far as I'm concerned, South Korea doesn't do merely assembly. They manufacture the submarine based on a license from Germany. The manufacturing process will be closely learned by Indonesians in Korea and the third submarine...

Indonesia is not buying, it's a GRANT. The total will be 30 jet fighters in which 6 will be scrapped/canibalized. But Indonesia will pay for maintenance and training. Those 24 F16 will be a temporary air defense before joint KFX/IFX coming into the production phase.

I hope this project will be successful...:)

who said we don't? :) Indonesia is buying Korean T 50 and Brazilian Super Tucano, getting 24 F16 for free as a temporary air defense before KFX/IFX joint research and production with Korea is ready to produce, and buying new Shukois... I don't see that we're not building up our Air Force :)

Because Korea agreed for transfer of technology. The TOT will be started from the beginning and the third submarine will be built in Indonesia. It's Indonesian gov't policy to produce our own weapons as many as we can since we're a big country. So it's not a terrible purchase at all. How can...
