인도네시아, 터키 5세대 전투기 ‘KAAN’ 개발 프로그램 참여 추진

인도네시아 대통령 프라보워 수비안토는 2025년 4월 11일 터키 앙카라에서 레제프 타이이프 에르도안 터키 대통령과 공동 기자회견을 열고, 터키가 개발 중인 5세대 전투기 ‘KAAN’ 프로그램에 참여하고 싶다는 뜻을 공식적으로 밝혔습니다. 인도네시아는 전투기뿐 아니라 잠수함 개발 협력에도 관심을 표명했습니다.

KAAN 전투기는 터키항공우주산업(TAI)이 주도하는 프로젝트로, 터키가 미국의 F-35 프로그램에서 배제된 이후 독자 개발을 추진 중인 5세대 전투기입니다. KAAN은 2024년 2월 첫 시험비행에 성공했으며, 2028~2029년까지 터키 공군에 초도 납품을 목표로 개발 중입니다.

TAI 측은 KAAN이 5세대 전투기 성능에 더해 6세대 전투기의 특징 일부도 통합할 예정이라고 밝혔으며, 특히 터키 무인기 기업 Baykar와의 유인-무인 협동 전투체계(MUM-T) 개발 계획도 포함하고 있습니다.

이번 회담을 통해 인도네시아와 터키는 문화, 재난 관리, 미디어 분야 등 3개 협정도 추가로 체결했으며, 향후 방산 협력 확대와 전략적 동반자 관계 강화를 추진할 것으로 보입니다.

BEIRUT — Indonesian President Prabowo Subianto said his nation is interested in joining Turkey’s 5th-generation combat aircraft program KAAN, after meeting with his Turkish counterpart Recep Tayyip Erdogan in Ankara on Thursday.

“Indonesia wants to participate in the development of the ‘Kaan’ 5th-generation fighter jet and submarine development with the Turkish industry,” the Indonesian president said at a press conference, according to Indonesia’s Anatara News Agency.

The high-profile KAAN program is under development by Turkish Aerospace Industries (TAI) and is seen as Turkey’s response to being ousted from the US F-35 program following Ankara’s purchase of the S-400 Russian-built air defense system. (TAI declined to comment to Breaking Defense on Subianto’s remarks about the KAAN.)

Subianto made the remarks at a joint press conference with Erdogan, amid deepening relationships between Ankara and Jakarta. Also on Thursday the two nations signed three pacts on “culture, disaster management [and] media,” which followed 13 agreements signed in February, according to Turkish media.

“We want an even stronger partnership,” Turkish media outlet quoted Subianto saying during the press conference.

KAAN had successfully completed its maiden flight in February 2024, where it reached 8,000 feet altitude and 230 knots speed, according to TAI.

The second and third prototypes are expected to “be flying by the end of the year and early next year, and we’ll be heavily testing these prototypes,” TAI General Manager Mehmet Demiroglu told Breaking Defense in a February interview.

He said then that the firm plans to “shorten the testing period, because we need to do lots of testing and to be able to deliver our first production to [the] Turkish air force in 2028-2029 time frame.”

At the time Demiroglu told Breaking Defense in the interview that many countries are interested in joining KAAN program but he didn’t specify them and said, “these things are taking a lot of time and high-level decisions.” Still, he was confident that that KAAN “will be a joint program.”

The ability to produce an indigenous, advanced fighter has been a big push from Turkish President Recep Erdoğan, who has made nationalization of Turkey’s defense industry a key part of his leadership.

KAAN, which is described as a 5th-generation fighter jet will have 6th-generation features, Demiroglu said, adding that that the firm is working on manned-unmanned teaming concept between KAAN and Turkish UAV maker Baykar.
