On a letter dated September 4 2020, a copy of which was obtained by The Jakarta Post,
the Austrian Minister of Defence, Klaudia Tanner,
said she wanted to enter into specific sales negotiations
with her Indonesian counterpart Prabowo Subianto.
The Eurofighter is a rather questionable fit for the Indonesian Air Force,
as the aircraft would require different infrastructure
compared to the F-16s, Su-27s and Su-30s currently in service.
Two options are available for the sale to proceed.
First, the Eurofighter consortium will have to issue an end-user certificate to Indonesia
and Austria will sell the jets directly to Indonesia.
Alternatively, Airbus will buy back the planes,
upgrade them and sell them to the South East Asian nation instead.
