India Likely to Buy KF-21 Boramae Fighter Jets from South Korea.

India Likely to Buy KF-21 Boramae Fighter Jets from South Korea.

Monday, 04-08-2025.

The indigenously developed KF-21 Boramae, developed in South Korea with its Indonesian partners, has emerged as a potential candidate for India's Multirole Fighter Aircraft (MRFA) program, as New Delhi seeks to address gaps in its combat air fleet. According to an Indian defense media report published on August 1, the KF-21 is being evaluated amid growing interest by the Indian Air Force (IAF) in acquiring 4th, 5th, and 5th-generation fighters. The South Korean jet is seen as a cost-competitive platform with future growth potential and compatibility with India's domestic industrial policy. The IAF currently faces a shortage of operational squadrons due to the phase-out of older aircraft such as the MiG-21 and Jaguar. While India has long relied on a mix of Russian and French platforms, shifting procurement priorities and delays in its indigenous fighter program have prompted broader consideration of new-generation foreign systems.

Developed by Korea Aerospace Industries (KAI), the KF-21 is a 4.5th-generation, twin-engine multirole fighter aircraft equipped with advanced avionics, including an active electronically scanned array (AESA) radar, infrared search and track (IRST), electronic warfare systems, and modern weapons integration.

The aircraft is powered by two General Electric F414-400K engines and boasts a top speed of Mach 1.8, a combat radius of approximately 1,500 nautical miles, and a maximum payload of up to 7,700 kg. South Korea began developing the KF-21 in 2011 to replace its aging fleet of F-4 and F-5 fighters. Although originally intended as a 5th-generation stealth aircraft, the program was adjusted to first field the 4.5th-generation configuration due to operational urgency. The aircraft is currently in the flight testing phase, and the first delivery to the Republic of Korea Air Force (RoKAF) is expected in 2026. India is reportedly considering acquiring 60 advanced 4.5-generation fighters while simultaneously developing 5th-generation platforms, including the indigenous AMCA. The KF-21's modular design, future upgrade roadmap (including a planned Block III variant with an internal weapons bay and stealth coating), and compatibility with twin-engine naval variants could offer strategic appeal.

One key advantage highlighted by the Indian press is engine commonality. The KF-21 uses the same F414 engine type selected for India's Tejas Mk II and AMCA programs. If India proceeds with large-scale license production of the F414, this could simplify logistics, maintenance, and operational integration for the KF-21.

Another factor is the aircraft's potential compatibility with India's "Make India" defense manufacturing initiative. If selected, the KF-21 could be assembled or co-produced in India, and its open architecture allows the integration of locally developed systems such as the Uttam AESA radar and the Astra air-to-air missile, provided an agreement is reached on source code access and software integration.

As of mid-2025, the estimated unit price of the KF-21 ranges from $87 million to $110 million, including engines, placing it below competitors such as the Rafale, Su-57, and F-35.

In July, Bloomberg reported that India had informed US officials that it would not acquire the F-35, despite repeated calls from Washington.

Indonesia's Submarine Fleet Highlighted by Foreign Media, No Surprise the Scorpene Submarine Project is Being Accelerated.

Indonesia's Submarine Fleet Highlighted by Foreign Media, No Surprise the Scorpene Submarine Project is Being Accelerated.

Indonesia has confirmed its commitment to building two Scorpene-class submarines, which were ordered from France in 2024. According to Army Recognition, on July 25, 2025, in an article titled "Indonesia Turns to Scorpene Submarines to Assert Its Maritime Power in the Indo-Pacific," the contract was announced on July 23, 2025, and construction of the Scorpene-class submarines will soon begin. The accelerated construction of the Scorpene submarines is due to several factors. According to Army Recognition, one of them is the condition of Indonesia's submarines, which require rapid rejuvenation. Indonesia's current submarine fleet primarily consists of four Nagapasa-class submarines, built with South Korean support. These submarines are now showing signs of aging and face modernization challenges. Through the Scorpène Evolved program, Indonesia seeks to meet short-term operational needs while simultaneously laying the foundation for a self-sufficient and resilient naval industry capable of developing and producing advanced systems over the long term. This dual objective reflects a clear intention to consolidate technological capabilities and national control over maritime security in the Indo-Pacific.

These diesel-electric submarines, equipped with lithium-ion batteries, will be entirely designed, assembled, and operated in Indonesia. This development reflects Jakarta's shifting strategic ambition to build comprehensive national capabilities in submarine construction and lifecycle management. In the long term, the operation, maintenance, and support of these platforms will be handled by Indonesian personnel, strengthening national operational control and creating thousands of skilled jobs. According to The Asia Live, on July 24, 2025, in an article titled "Indonesia Races Against Time: Accelerated Development of the Emerging Scorpene Submarine to Enhance Naval Power," the submarine construction project has also been accelerated by Indonesia. Indonesia has cut the project from an initial eight-year timeline to just five. This unprecedented acceleration, mandated by President Prabowo Subianto earlier this year, is expected to redefine the direction of Indonesia's naval development and reshape Southeast Asia's maritime security calculations. This ambitious direction comes at a time when undersea dominance in the Indo-Pacific has assumed immense importance amidst expanding military footprints, overlapping territorial claims, and increasingly assertive maneuvers by regional and global naval powers.

"This request has suddenly become a major challenge that must be addressed together," said Rear Admiral (Ret.) Wiranto, Project Director of PT PAL, Indonesia's state-owned shipbuilder. According to his statement, Wiranto emphasized the President's desire for the Scorpene submarine to be delivered within three years. ahead of schedule. "Several months ago, the President asked the team, namely the team from PT PAL and our partners from Naval Group, to accelerate this project by three years," he explained. The initial 96-month (eight-year) construction plan for the two submarines, signed on March 28, 2024, between the Indonesian Ministry of Defense and the French Naval Group. However, it is now being re-evaluated to meet the new five-year deadline. With both submarines to be built domestically at PT PAL's facility in Surabaya, this is the most technologically advanced and timely naval program ever undertaken by Indonesia.

Progres Penjulan Jet Tempur KF 21 Boramae Indonesia Korea Selatan

Progres Penjulan Jet Tempur KF 21 Boramae Indonesia Korea Selatan

Proyeksi Cuan KF-21 Boramae Indo-Korsel Sudah Terlihat, Negara ini mau Beli.

Rabu, 5 Juli 2023.

ZONAJAKARTA.com - Sepertinya prediksi yang diungkapkan pihak pengembang KF-21 Boramae terbukti lebih cepat. Pasalnya mereka memprediksi cuan dari proyek KF-21 Boramae saat memasuki tahap produksi massal. Jika sesuai jadwal, produksi massal KF-21 Boramae akan dilakukan pada tahun 2026. “Setidaknya cuan sampai 10 miliar US Dolar”, ungkap pihak Korea Selatan. Apalagi tahap produksi massal itu dikalkulasi akan menyerap sekitar 27 ribu tenaga kerja.

Proyeksi cuan ini terlihat dari Filipina yang sudah mengatakan minatnya akan jet tempur ini. Filipina berencana membeli KF-21 Boramae sebagai jet tempur multi-peran. Minat ini disampaikan langsung oleh Jubir AU Filipina, Kolonel Maynard Mariano. “Kita selalu memantau dengan cermat perkembangan KF-21 Boramae. Dan kami tidak menutup diri dari sistem baru yang mungkin bisa bersaing dengan sistem lain”, Ucapnya.

Filipina sendiri membutuhkan 12 unit jet tempur multi-peran dengan sistem radar yang memiliki jangkauan 250 mil laut. Bahkan mereka sudah sediakan anggarana sebesar 18 miliar Peso atau sekitar 4,8 triliun Rupiah untuk akuisisi 12 jet tempur multi-peran. Selebihnya, KF-21 Boramae adalah proyek bersama Indonesia dan Korea Selatan. diminta sebagai mitra yang juga pemodal proyek jet tempur masa depan ini. Ide datang dari Korea Selatan, dan mereka membutuhkan sesosok mitra. Sederhananya, Korea Selatan tidak mampu membangun proyek mega besar ini dari segi biaya.

Korea Selatan butuh suntikan dana dari negara lain, dan Indonesia mengiyakan. Tentu Indonesia mendapat sejumlah benefit dari kemitraan ini. Namun sebagai syarat, Indonesia juga perlu merogoh kocek untuk sama-sama membangun KF-21 Boramae. Sedikit gambaran, Indonesia perlu membayar sebesar 20 persen dari total biaya proyek KF-21 Boramae.

20 persen itu sekitar 1,7 triliun Won atau sekitar 19 triliun Rupiah. Saat memasuki tahap produksi massal, tentu Indonesia akan diprioritaskan sebagai konsumen pertama KF-21 Boramae. Sebagai mitra, Indonesia akan kebagian jatah 48 unit KF-21 Boramae. Selain dapat unit jet tempurnya, Indonesia juga akan mendapat benefit lain. Yaitu transfer teknologi (offset) yang dijanjikan di awal kemitraannya dengan Korea Selatan. Dengan transfer teknologi itu, Indonesia diharapkan mampu membangun KF-21 Boramae sendiri.

Makanya 48 unit yang dijanjikan itu nantinya akan dirakit di Indonesia. “Kerja sama pengembangan jet tempur ini disebut spesial karena kedua negara bisa bertukar pengetahuan dan teknologi, tidak hanya soal jual-beli”, terang kantor berita Antara, 4 Juni 2023.

French daily La Tribune Sebut Indonesia has paid a down payment for an additional 18 Rafales

10 March 2023, Author RNS.

Good news has been pouring in in the process of procuring the main weapons systems (alutsista), including the acquisition of Rafale fighter jets from France. After securing the procurement of the first six Rafale groups, Jakarta is now reported by French daily La Tribune to have made an advance payment for the procurement of 18 Rafale fighter jets made by Dassault's second batch.

“This is good news for Dassault Aviation, which is presenting its 2022 annual results this Thursday. According to the appropriate source, Indonesia has issued a budget to acquire 18 new Rafales, after the first six Rafales come into force in 2022 (about 1.3 billion dollars)," wrote La Tribune, yesterday. It was highlighted that in February 2022, Indonesia had signed the procurement of 42 Rafales, the signing of which was carried out in Jakarta. It was also added that Indonesia is also preparing to get 12 Mirage 2000-5 from Qatar.

Biggest support"

Meanwhile in the country, Indonesian Minister of Defense Prabowo Subianto after handing over the C-130J-30 Super Hercules A-1338 aircraft made by Lockheed Martin to the TNI Commander Admiral Yudo Margono at Halim Perdanakusuma Air Base, Jakarta (8/3), said that the Ministry of Defense will acquire various defense equipment.

President Joko Widodo's administration, said Defense Minister Prabowo, provided the largest budget in history for the purchase of weapons systems. However, when COVID 19 occurred, the state budget was prioritized first to save the people from a very dangerous virus.

"I have seen the support from Pak Joko Widodo's administration in history for defense," said Prabowo, who was standing to the right of President Jokowi at the time. While quoted by Tempo, apart from buying new aircraft, Prabowo also intends to buy used aircraft.

Prabowo said the procurement of Rafale would take time. Once the contract is signed for the Rafale, the new aircraft will arrive 3-5 years later. The general chairman of the Gerindra Party emphasized that Indonesia must have a fairly strong deterrent effect. Therefore, before the Rafale planes arrive, he will try to procure second-hand aircraft more quickly.

Defense Minister Prabowo Hopes In the Next 5 Years, Indonesia Can Build Its Own Fighter Jet.

Thursday, 27-10-2022.

Minister of Defense (Menhan) Prabowo Subianto hopes that, in the next five years, Indonesia can make its own fighter jets.

Prabowo admits that at this time, Indonesia has not been able to manufacture it independently because of the difficulty of obtaining key technology for fighter aircraft. However, Prabowo is optimistic that one day, Indonesia will be able to build its own fighter aircraft.

"That's why we cooperate with Korea, we will cooperate with several other countries. We can hope that in five years we can have fighters (fighter jets) made in Indonesia quite well," Prabowo said at the Ministry of Defense (Kemenhan) Office, Jakarta, Thursday (27/10/2022).

In line with that, Prabowo reminded policy makers to believe in the abilities of the nation's children.

According to him, the ability of the nation's children is actually not inferior to the ability of other countries.

However, Prabowo admits to being surprised because some parties are often more amazed by things that smell foreign.

"Our abilities are not bad, sometimes we are always amazed by everything that is all foreign, even though our manufacture is also okay. Maybe not as cool as it looks," he explained.

Therefore, Prabowo believes that in the next five years there will be a rapid increase made by the nation's children for the country.

"I think 3 to 5 years we will see a better improvement in the abilities of our children," he added. (Achmad Nasrudin Yahya)

Berita Militer Pemerintah Indonesia Tolak Usulan Pengadaan Korvet Bekas kelas Pohang Korea Selatan.

Rabu, 19-10-2022.

Kementerian Keuangan (Kemenkeu) Indonesia telah menolak proposal untuk mendanai kemungkinan pembelian korvet kelas Pohang bekas Angkatan Laut Republik Korea (RoKN) dengan pinjaman luar negeri pada tahun 2022.

Penolakan tersebut dikonfirmasi dalam pemberitahuan yang dibuat oleh Kemenkeu kepada Kementerian Perencanaan Pembangunan Nasional (BAPPENAS) pada Oktober 2022.

Namun, pemberitahuan yang diberikan kepada penulis oleh sumber pemerintah pada 17 Oktober, tidak menunjukkan alasan penolakan.

Seperti dilaporkan oleh Janes pada bulan September 2022, BAPPENAS telah memasukkan kemungkinan akuisisi korvet dalam daftar revisi program angkatan laut dimana pinjaman dari luar negeri telah diusulkan sebagai sumber pendanaan. 

Daftar tahunan tersebut lebih dikenal di dalam negeri sebagai 'green book' dan versi sebelumnya dirilis pada Mei 2022. Itu direvisi pada bulan September untuk memasukkan program tambahan yang telah ditandai oleh angkatan bersenjata masing-masing sebagai persyaratan mendesak.

Bagian 'green book' yang mencakup program militer diserahkan oleh kementerian pertahanan kepada BAPPENAS setelah berkonsultasi dengan beberapa angkatan, dan jumlah total pinjaman luar negeri yang diminta untuk program militer setelah revisi September 2022 berjumlah sekitar USD2,4 miliar.

Pinjaman ini dimaksudkan untuk melengkapi anggaran pertahanan negara tahun 2022 sebesar Rp134 triliun (USD9 miliar), di mana Rp43,2 triliun telah dialokasikan untuk program pengadaan dan pemeliharaan. (Ridzwan Rahmat)

"Keamanan mitra regional penting untuk stabilitas politik dan kemajuan ekonomi di kawasan Asia-Pasifik," demikian pernyataan Kemlu AS yang dikutip AFP.

Selain soal alutsista, kedua menteri juga membahas kemajuan signifikan dalam kerja sama pertahanan AS-Indonesia, salah satunya dengan latihan militer bersama bertajuk "Super" Garuda Shield pada Agustus lalu.

Austin lalu menyatakan dukungan terhadap fokus Prabowo terkait profesionalisme militer Indonesia. Ia juga mengapresiasi kepemimpinan Indonesia di ASEAN, Indo-Pasifik, dan dunia.

Di kesempatan itu, Prabowo juga menyatakan terima kasih sekaligus apresiasi atas niat AS mendukung ASEAN yang mandiri dan kuat.

"Kami berharap kerja sama pertahanan kedua negara semakin kuat dan persahabatan kedua negara akan terus berlanjut serta tumbuh dalam semangat saling menghormati dan percaya untuk kepentingan nasional masing-masing," ucapnya.

Dalam pertemuan tersebut, mereka juga membahas penyelarasan kerja sama di bidang pertahanan antara AS-RI. Kedua pejabat ini juga menginginkan Indo-Pasifik yang bebas dan terbuka.

"Selaras dengan tujuan strategis untuk memajukan Indo-Pasifik yang lebih terhubung, sejahtera, aman, tangguh serta bebas dan terbuka, saya percaya untuk mencapai tujuan ini akan membutuhkan kerja sama dan partisipasi negara-negara Indo-Pasifik," kata Prabowo.

Indonesia Harus Waspada, Raytheon akan Berikan Dukungan Sistem Tempur Kapal Selam Australia

Indonesia Harus Waspada, Raytheon akan Berikan Dukungan Sistem Tempur Kapal Selam Australia

Raytheon Australia akan Memberikan Dukungan Sistem Tempur Kapal Selam Kelas Collins RAN.

Kamis, 13-10-2022.

Pemerintah Australia telah menandatangani kontrak lima tahun dengan Raytheon Australia Pty Ltd untuk terus berinvestasi dalam kemampuan armada kapal selam kelas Collins Angkatan Laut Australia (RAN).

Kontrak senilai $322 juta akan memberikan dukungan layanan untuk sistem tempur kapal selam kelas Collins selama transisi Australia ke kapal selam bertenaga nuklir.

Wakil Sekretaris Pembuatan Kapal dan Keberlanjutan Angkatan Laut, Tony Dalton mengatakan dukungan tersebut akan mencakup life-of-type extension dimulai pada tahun 2026, ongoing sustainment, dan peningkatan kemampuan terpilih.

“Keberlanjutan dan peningkatan kapal-kapal ini akan membantu mempertahankan keunggulan kemampuan dan memastikan armada kami siap menghadapi tantangan di lingkungan strategis kami,” kata Dalton.
