Long Running Campaign Falls Short Due To High Price Tag
Boeing has confirmed it is no longer pursuing the sale of F-15EX fighter jets to Indonesia, following a long-running campaign that began with a 2023 memorandum of understanding. The proposed price for the full package, estimated at roughly $13.9 billion, was deemed too high by Indonesian defense officials. Indonesia has since explored other aircraft options, including signing a Letter of Intent for Leonardo’s M-346F aircraft at the Singapore Airshow 2026. The country has also committed to buying 42 Dassault Rafale fighters from France and deepened defense ties with Turkey. According to AeroTime, Boeing continues to deliver F-15EX aircraft to the US Air Force and remains active in the Asia-Pacific region.
