Indonesia and South Korea are ready to begin a joint project on jet fighter production in 2012. The project would be able to build a jet figther prototype in 2020.
The planned cooperation for the project, dubbed the KF-X project, was initiated in 2006.
The joint project is widely seen as a pilot project for Indonesian military in revitalising defense industry.
Officials say the KF-X would have capabilities between those of the F-35 and F-16, although they are presumably referring to its size and thrust, since a stealth aircraft fielded in 2020 would be expected to comfortably outperform 1970s-era designs.
Indonesia and Korea will produce as many as 200 fighter jets for both Air Forces.

Sebelum KFX, yang trainer duluan dong.. advance trainer jet yang buat ngegantiin BAe Hawk MK-53, naga-naganya lari ke Korsel juga, T-50 Golden Eagle. Joint production sambil belajar bersama kalau bisa, jadi ntar waktu buat KFX dah agak lancar.

lets wait for the KI family , K21 family , HaeSung ASM family , Pegasus ….. soon the rest will follow
korean centric , anyone ???
I guess the South Korean technology is growing pretty well nowadays. It might be a good choice to collaborate with them. In addition to the efforts to build Pacific Asia military power, outside China.
KF-X would have capabilities between those of the F-35(not F-15) and F-16.. .
Thanks! Corrected.
