South Korea and Indonesia are working on a “molecular search” for the joint development project of the Korean fighter KF-21 (INDONESIA NAME IF-X) Boramae project.
The ten members of the House of Representatives of Indonesia, including the vice chairman of the 1st Subcommittee, Dave Laksono, held a meeting with the foreign affairs committee members including Kim Seok-ki, the chairman of the Foreign Affairs and Unification Committee, at the National Assembly on the 18th. The meeting was reportedly in discussions with the Korean fighter jet KF-21 (INDONESIAN IF-X) Boramae project, which is being jointly developed by the two countries. Data Photo. [Herald DB]
The two countries have successfully completed the exploration and development of the next generation of fighter jets, and are in the process of developing systems including test flights.
However, due to the financial crisis, the Indonesia side initially reduced the share of KRW1 trillion to KRW60 billion, and it is necessary to consult for the revision of the basic agreement such as the scope of technology transfer.
In January last year, the KF-21 data leak of the Korean Aerospace Industries (KAI) was reported, and the difficulties overlapped.
Among them, the members of the House of Representatives are looking for South Korea.
Ten members of the House of Representatives, including the Vice Chairman of the First Subcommittee, Dave Laksono, and Ambassador of Indonesia to Korea, Zelda Ulan Kartika, held a meeting with foreign affairs committee members including Kim Seok-ki, the Chairman of the Foreign Affairs and Unification Committee, at the National Assembly on the 18th.
The 1st Subcommittee of the Indonesian House of Representatives is in charge of the field of foreign affairs and defense, and the third-term member, Senator Laxono, is the son of former Speaker of the House of Representatives Agung Laxono and is a leading figure in Indonesia politics.
The meeting discussed the development of exchanges and cooperation between the two countries, especially the KF-21 project.
In the meantime, Indonesia has complained about the long-term investigation of KF-21 data leaks by five technical staff in the country, and has shown that the KF-21 joint development project can continue if the issue is resolved.
In this regard, the Indonesia side sent an official letter to the Defense Business Administration in September last year stating that it is possible to consult on the revision of the basic agreement only after the allegations of technical staff have been resolved.
In particular, recently, five of the country's technologists, who are under investigation for a halt to leave the country ahead of the time of the world's largest Islamic State, Indonesia, have requested the return of the country's five technicians.
The Gyeongnam Police Department, which was commissioned by the Defense Business Administration, closed the investigation in December last year and sent it to the public prosecutor, but the prosecutor requested a supplemental investigation and sent it back to the investigation further.
To date, it is reported that the mobile storage device (USB), which was caught trying to export unauthorized labor by the Indonesian technicians, does not include sensitive data related to KF-21.
It was reported that there were procedural problems with the data that they could receive if they asked KAI for photos of their monitors, but there were no confidential matters.
However, the problem is that the national sentiment about Indonesia has deteriorated due to the interlocking of the share reduction and the spillage incident.
A government source said, “We know that the leaks of sensitive materials, such as secrets, have not been confirmed during the investigation, but we have no choice but to consider public opinion. We are considering various measures to continue KF-21 business cooperation with Indonesia, which is undergoing practical-level consultations.”
It is also pointed out that Indonesia is the first customer of ‘K-Defense’ that the world has become interested in today’s K-Bangsan’s ‘mermaid’ and that it did not have much trouble despite the National Intelligence Service’s Indonesia Special Envoy’s hotel infiltration incident.
Indonesians purchased basic trainer KT-1, the high-level trainer T-50, and submarine as the first customer of Korea's aircraft export and the best customer of K-Defense," said Senator Yu Yu-won, who attended the meeting with Senator Laxo. "In the interview, Indonesia emphasized the importance of defense cooperation between the two countries and the fact that Indonesia is successfully carrying out a win-win project between the two countries as a KF-21 business partner."
Mr. Yu added, “As the Korean government and the National Assembly are working hard to resolve the security incident of Indonesian technicians, we have also asked Indonesians to believe in and make an active effort.”
