Minister of Defense, Puernomo Yusgiantoro, Sukhoi squadron will soon be fulfilled and F 16 are already owned by the TNI Air Force (AU). This was done to increase the combat power of the Air Force currently can be said to be lagging compared with other countries.

"We've been in the State budget to increase our defense equipment by increasing the number of aircraft to fulfill Squadron F16, and Sukoi we already have today," he said, when met at the air base Iswajudi, District Maospati, Magetan Sunday (07/24/2011 ).

But when asked the number of Sukhoi and F 16 aircraft to be purchased to meet a squadron, Poenomo Yusgiantoro, would not explain in detail. And for F 16 it still did Inventory the number of aircraft which became one of the mainstays of this Air Force.

"Yes we try, in order to become a squadron of Sukhoi full. And F 16 could also be a full squadron even if it could be more than one squadron and for its placement will be discussed further," he said without saying the number.

In addition it will also make the purchase of spare parts of aircraft which is currently owned by the Air Force. So expect the planes could fly back and no longer uses cannibalism to repair aircraft systems such as that previously occurred.
