South Korea and Indonesia have finalized Indonesia’s share of the cost for the jointly developed Korean fighter jet KF-21 (known as IF-X in Indonesia) at 600 billion won, a reduction of 1 trillion won from the previous amount of 1.6 trillion won. Data Photo. [Herald DB]
The project, which had faced difficulties due to Indonesia’s request to lower its contribution amid financial troubles and a data leak incident involving Indonesian technicians dispatched to Korea Aerospace Industries (KAI), is now moving towards resolution.
The Defense Acquisition Program Administration (DAPA) announced on the 13th that the two countries had signed a revised basic agreement for joint development reflecting these changes.
Noh Ji-man, the head of the Korean Fighter Project at DAPA, and the Director General of Reserve Forces at the Indonesian Ministry of Defense, signed the agreement adjusting Indonesia’s share based on the decision made by the Defense Project Promotion Committee last August. The Indonesian Ministry of Defense has begun administrative procedures to pay its remaining share for the KF-21 joint development.
Originally, Indonesia was to contribute 1.6 trillion won, or 20% of the total project cost of 8.1 trillion won. However, due to financial difficulties, Indonesia delayed payments and had only paid 400 billion won so far. In April last year, Indonesia proposed to pay only a total of 600 billion won.
Considering the importance of successfully completing the KF-21 project, the relationship between the two countries, and the fact that Indonesia is essentially the first overseas customer for South Korea’s “K-Defense Industry,” which is now attracting global attention, South Korea decided to accept Indonesia’s proposal for a reduced contribution.
However, the process of revising the agreement was delayed as Indonesia objected to the investigation into five of its technicians dispatched to KAI for leaking documents. In September last year, Indonesia sent an official letter to DAPA stating that negotiations on the revision could only proceed after the charges against its technicians were resolved.

Recently, a decision was made to suspend the indictment of the Indonesian technicians, considering that the leaked USB data did not contain sensitive secrets. As a result, the joint development project has regained momentum.
Indonesia is expected to pay the remaining 200 billion won in two installments of 100 billion won each per year. However, the specific scope of technology transfer as a result of the reduced contribution will be subject to further negotiations between the two countries after the completion of the KF-21 system development.
In addition, the two countries discussed the mass production of Indonesia’s IF-X. KAI and Indonesia’s state-owned company PTDI agreed to concretize, expand, and strengthen their strategic cooperation covering everything from production to marketing for the practical implementation of IF-X mass production, including establishing and maintaining production and final assembly facilities, as well as maintenance, repair, and overhaul (MRO).
During his meeting with Teddy Rizali Hadi, the Deputy Chief of Staff of the Indonesian Air Force, Commissioner Seok also explained the current status and excellence of the KF-21’s development and reached a consensus that introducing the IF-X in the future would contribute to strengthening Indonesia’s air power.
Commissioner Seok stated, “Through this visit to the Indonesia Defense Expo, we confirmed that bilateral defense cooperation, which had been somewhat strained due to recent issues with Indonesian technicians, is now back on track. Going forward, we will do our best to further strengthen defense industry cooperation with Indonesia in various areas, including submarines, firepower, and air defense systems, and to expand this cooperation to the entire Southeast Asian region.”
