On July 26, 2026, Türkiye and Indonesia officially signed the commercial contract that defines technical attachments and implementation details of the government to government to government (G2G) aircraft of 48 from the fifth generation Kaan plane.
The original G2G framework agreement was signed on June 11, 2025.
The agreement includes a comprehensive cooperation in engineering, manufacturing and technology transfer. The main ingredient is to create a local space infrastructure in Indonesia, which will serve as a tangible reflection of the strategic depth of the partnership.
Delivers will be carried out from 48 aircraft over 10 years under a schedule. The contract also covers long -term industrial cooperation, engineering support, and joint technology development, with Indonesian partners including PT Republik Aero Dirgantara and PT Dirgantara Indonesia.

Separately, during the IDEF 2025 defense exhibition here, officials of defense of both countries ended a deal to supply Milgem, of type ̇stif. This contract represents the first export of Milgem’s warship to Indonesia.
The first category of ̇stif, TCG ̇stanbul, in the Turkish Navy in January 2024, was assigned with the serial production of ongoing additional ships and the delivery expected to continue until late 2020.
The frigate deal is the third group of maritime cooperation between the two countries.
