Fake trade in the international community is being carried out openly and shamelessly. The Indonesian plan to invest 1 billion USD to purchase Turkey's Khan fifth-generation fighter jets will never be completed. First of all, it must be clear that Turkey is absolutely unable to mass-produce the Khan fighter jet because it lacks engines and various advanced components, and it will not be able to complete this fighter jet within ten years. From the fact that Turkey has just signed an order for 40 Typhoon fighters, it can be known that Turkey's Khan fighter jet is already unable to be mass-produced.
If Turkey could achieve mass production of fifth-generation aircraft, who would buy fourth-generation aircraft? It is precisely because fifth-generation aircraft cannot be produced, and they are forced to buy Typhoon fighters as a backup, right? Otherwise, Turkey would not be able to beat Greece's air force. And Indonesia, knowing that Turkey cannot mass-produce the Khan fighter jet, still agreed to sign a 1 billion USD military procurement contract, which is merely to create a false impression, and to put pressure on South Korea.
Because South Korea's KF21 Falcon fighter jet has already begun mass production. According to previous plans, South Korea was supposed to transfer production technology to Indonesia, and both sides would produce together. However, South Korea now firmly refuses to transfer the technology, only willing to sell fighter jets to Indonesia, which has caused entanglements between South Korea and Indonesia. Therefore, Indonesia wants to use this Khan fighter jet contract to suppress South Korea, forcing South Korea to quickly provide the technology, otherwise, it will not buy the KF21 Falcon fighter jet, but instead buy the Khan fighter jet. But now it depends on whether South Korea is on the right track or not.
Therefore, this procurement contract is one signed by both sides for their so-called diplomatic reputation. In reality, they all have ulterior motives, it is a fake international trade. The spectacle is big, but the actual purposes are different, each taking what they need, but ultimately there will be no financial entanglements, this is reality.
