The Indonesian Air Force is asking a new budget for the purchase of
new war planes to replace the aging fleets, the chief of staff said
Monday.
The Air Force has nine Broncos but only four still hold
airworthiness, and of 12 F-5 Tigers, only two are active. There are
also only two out of eight Hawk MK-53s still in service.
In addition, only four of seven personnel carrier Fokker-27s made
in 1978 are still worth flying.
The Air Force said it nominated either Russian Sukhoi-25 or
Canada's Super Tocano to replace the Broncos. While the MK-53 is
likely to be replaced with L-159 from the Czech Republic.
