I think that 5 Indonesian engineers were caught smuggling data on one or more USB 's. I don't know if it related to KF-21. They have not been allowed to leave ROK..Didn't Indonesian engineers tried stealing some data from Kf21 project to possibly sell it to NK or China? Or it was some other incident?
Before that happening Indonesia did not honour its agreement to fund 20% of KF-21 development costs, failing to pay according to the schedule, then agreeing to respect the payment schedule, then failing to pay overdue moneys as promised, then wanting a reduction on what they agreed to pay at the start of the partnership. A dishonest nightmare of a development partner.
If this agreement is firmed up I suggest that Turkey ensures that payments are made by documentary credit or cash in advance. Indonesia has shown that it cannot be trusted.
