South Korean Aerospace Company Delivers 6 T-50i Trainer Aircraft to Indonesia

South Korean Aerospace Industries (KAI) has completed the delivery of six advanced training aircraft of the "T-50I" model to the Indonesian Air Force, as part of a contract signed in 2021. The deliveries began last February, bringing the total number of aircraft received by Indonesia to 22 out of an expected 42, following an initial purchase of 16 aircraft in 2011. Indonesia is the first foreign customer to receive the "T-50I" variant, which is a export version of the first supersonic jet trainer developed in South Korea. This cooperation reflects the strengthening of military ties between the two countries and also includes Indonesia's participation in the KF-21 fighter development project.
