Between CN-235 and KF-21 Boramae, This is Indonesia's Smart Way to Sell Aircraft Made by PT DI


Indonesia and South Korea have agreed to jointly develop the KF-21 Boramae fighter jet.

In developing the KF-21 Boramae fighter jet, a series of activities have been carried out. And currently the KF-21 Boramae fighter jet is in final assembly for six prototype units.

As quoted from cavok.com.br who said that six prototype units of the KF-21 Boramae were ready to fly this year.

And before carrying out its maiden flight test, the KF-21 Boramae fighter jet must first pass a series of ground tests.

One of the ground tests that the KF-21 Boramae fighter jet will soon carry out is the runway test.

It is said if this February the KF-21 Boramae fighter jet is ready to carry out ground testing on the KF-21 Boramae.

In developing the KF-21 Boramae fighter jet, it turns out that it requires no small amount of funds.

DAPA said that the funds to develop the KF-21 Boramae fighter jet were around 8.1 trillion won.

And the presence of Indonesia certainly eases the burden carried by South Korea in developing the KF-21 Boramae.

The reason is quoted from The Korea Herald, Indonesia contributed funds of at least 1.6 trillion won, equivalent to 20 percent.

The funds contributed by Indonesia in developing the KF-21 Boramae are certainly very helpful.

Interestingly, Indonesia was also allowed to pay the cost of developing the KF-21 Boramae for five years.

"Indonesia will make payments over the next five years until 2026, and thirty percent of that will be transfers in kind," said DAPA.

Until now, the trade balance for the KF-21 Boramae itself is still unclear.

However, in some cases, it is strongly suspected that the trade-off for the development of the KF-21 Boramae could be in the form of natural resources and so on.

Even if Indonesia decides to pay with natural resources, no agreement that will harm domestic importers will be signed.

“For example, if palm oil is used to pay for a project, then this can be sold abroad without having to pay to enter South Korea first,” said the DAPA official.

In 2018, a source told FlightGlobal that Jakarta was taking advantage of the KF-21 program to secure additional orders for the Indonesian-made CN-235.

The payment agreement in kind is said to allow South Korea to get additional tactical transportation for the Airbus Defense and Space CN-235, which was built by Aerospace Indonesia under license in Bandung.
