Defense Minister Suh Wook and his Indonesian counterpart Prabowo Subianto agreed Thursday to work hard on Korea’s homegrown KF-X aircraft project and other defense cooperation, according to Seoul’s defense ministry, amid growing questions over Jakarta’s commitment to the joint development program. Indonesia is a partner of the 8.8 trillion won ($7.7 billion) KF-X that seeks to produce 120 advanced multi-role fighter jets. It promised to fund 20 percent of the total development cost, or 1.7 trillion won, in exchange for 50 planes that will be manufactured there for the Indonesian Air Force, as well as technology transfers.
