Indon planes got no rockets lah !!!
======================================================
The Indonesian Defense Ministrys director-general for the planning
of defense systems, Mas Widjaja, had earlier sent a letter to the
House of Representatives (DPR) Commission I on defense
matters.
In the letter, he requested a Rp8 trillion budget to purchase a
squadron of Sukhoi fighter planes and 24 Russian helicopters.
According to Sutarto, the TNI urgently needs the helicopters as
they can be used in many situations, including a war condition and
the handling of disasters.
However, the parliament member showed a negative response to the
TNI request.
DPR Commission I Chairman Theo L. Sambuaga said that the DPR
Commission would likely decline the request by reason that the
additional budget should be used to facilitate four Sukhoi fighter
planes bought by Indonesia that are as yet unarmed. (Dimas
