Congratulation to Indonesia. it will be the first in South East Asia to manufacture fighter jet (in mass scale level), if the project is going to succeed.
Thanks mate. Actually if successful, the program will give many benefit to Indonesia inshaALLAH. Not only in manufacturing some part and assembling process, but also in designing capability of our engineers. In this regard, the capability to design Stealth aircraft. In the first phase of development there are around 30 designers participated and now as the project enters its second phase, there have been around 80 designers who are participating. In the peak of development, there will be 200 Indonesian engineers participating according to Indonesian official. 200 engineers who has experience to design Stealth fighter will be our biggest asset in our aviation industry.
Beside that there is possibility that this aircraft use radar absorbent material, if this is the case I hope Indonesian engineers get transfer of technology as Indonesian has the right to produce some part of the fighter according to the agreement. PT Dirgantara Indonesia who is involved in the program also want to have the ability to up grade the aircraft. If we have up grade capability it also means that our air force will get some boost as it will be difficult to predict our air force capability as upgrading can be done in secret.
So I hope the program can be successful and able to produce a lethal and sophisticated fighter.
