Securing 'production slots' despite unpaid dues... Southeast Asian fighter jet race catches fire
According to reports, the Indonesian government has reopened negotiations with Korea Aerospace Industries (KAI) to acquire 16 KF-21 Block-2 units. This move is seen as a strategic play to secure production slots rather than just filling a power gap. With the Philippines recently considering the KF-21 as a top candidate for its multi-role fighter (MRF) project, Jakarta is reportedly feeling the heat, fearing they'll get pushed back in the queue if Manila signs a deal first.
Oh, Philippines No. 1
"Netizens are roasting Indonesia for trying to cut in line after failing to pay their bills, while hailing the Philippines as a loyal 'VIP customer' who actually pays on time."
