Indonesia’s potential involvement in Turkey’s Kaan fighter program is adding complexity to its future combat aircraft strategy. President Prabowo’s interest comes despite funding issues with the KF-21 project co-developed with South Korea. The status of Indonesia’s planned purchase of 24 Boeing F-15EX jets remains uncertain amid budget and approval hurdles. Meanwhile, Jakarta has confirmed a deal for 42 Dassault Rafales to modernize its aging fleet. Overall, the country’s long-term fighter procurement path appears increasingly fragmented.
