Just found that Indonesia apparently also looking into Turkish F-16 "Ozgur" program. Maybe alternative to Viper.

No official news yet tho.
I don't think the US would allow it. Although Turkey is "liberalizing" half of the Turkish F-16 fleet, the authorization from the US to go ahead and make these aircraft "independent" is kind of a grey area in Turkish sources. Even if they knowingly "ignore" Turkey's activities on their own fleet, I don't think they'd allow Turkey to export it to other countries.
