4. KAI KF-21 Boramae​

Designed in South Korea, the KF-21 is the newest jet on this list. While KAI designates it as 4.5 generation, it has many features compatible with 5th generation jets, such as stealthy design and some technologies used on the F-35.

The first KF-21 conducted its maiden flight only in July 2022, and several more prototypes are currently in production and undergoing testing at KAI. The company aims to start delivering these jets to the military in 2026.

The Boramae is also set to receive additional improvements in the near future. Further variants, with internal weapons bays and improved sensors, will make it a true 5th generation fighter jet. So, this jet could feature it even higher in future versions of this list.

Planning Minister doesnt put FREEM acquisition in their blue book revision (approved medium term acquisition planning 2020-2024). This is something that I support as we have many pressing issues while the defense budget is also not that large + better supporting acquisition plan that can maximize local defense industry growth and advancement.

Better use the available money for 2 Scorpene submarine acquisition plan (built in PT PAL Indonesia) + start paying KFX/IFX program in significant way. We are supposed to pay around 240 million USD per year, not just 7 or 30 million USD per year as what actually happen for 2022 and 2023 payment.

Approval needs several steps

Base on order

Blue Book - Green Book- PSP (Finance Minister acquisition plan Approval)- Execution based on available budget (Rupiah Murni Pendamping/RMP)

 

[Indos]

Minister of Planning has agreed to put F16 upgrade program into Blue Book. The upgrade will be for Viper variant. Next step is to get green book (priority program to execute), PSP from Finance Minister, and RMP from Finance Minister.

The upgrade program is for all 33 F16 that are currently operated by Indonesian Air Force.

Advanced Radar​

Northrop Grumman’s advanced APG-83 AESA radar provides the Block 70/72 with 5th Generation fighter radar capabilities by leveraging hardware and software commonality with F-22 and F-35 AESA radars. It delivers greater situational awareness, flexibility and quicker all-weather targeting and provides pilots with unprecedented target area detail and digital map displays that can be tailored with slew and zoom features.

Enhanced Battlespace Awareness​

The Block 70/72 features a new, high resolution Center Pedestal Display (CPD), which provides critical tactical imagery to pilots and allows them to take full advantage of AESA and targeting pod data. The new CPD enables color moving maps, larger and easier to manage air-to-air Situation Displays, zoom functionality with the ability to switch information among displays, digital display of Flight Instrument Data, and a color/night helmet mounted display. Additional integration of the Lockheed Martin Sniper® Advanced Targeting Pod and Legion-ES™ IRST system increase pilot situational awareness and enhance warfighter survivability.

Saving Tomorrow’s Pilots​

Developed by Lockheed Martin, the Automatic Ground Collision Avoidance System (Auto GCAS) was purpose-built to prevent deadly crashes and has already saved the lives of multiple pilots and F-16s since the system entered service with the U.S. Air Force in late 2014. The Auto GCAS is designed to reduce incidents of what is known as controlled flight into terrain, or CFIT. According to U.S. Air Force statistics, CFIT incidents account for 26 percent of aircraft losses and a staggering 75 percent of all F-16 pilot fatalities.

Extended Structural Capabilities​

The Block 70/72 has an industry-leading extended structural life to 12,000 hours - more than 50 percent beyond that of previous production F-16 aircraft. That means a highly reliable, readily maintainable jet of at least 40 years of service life for most air forces, with no expected extended structural repairs throughout that entire lifetime. The conformal fuel tanks provide increased fuel and added range, without sacrificing the aerodynamic performance of the jet, along with an improved performance engine.
