“The A400M is a truly
multirole platform and will greatly enhance the Indonesian Air Force’s tactical
air-to-air capabilities. This aircraft will play a key role in other key
missions, including paratrooping and heavy cargo transportation. We are also
looking at an additional A400M acquisition in the near term, with future A400M
developments such as firefighting, an important capability we are exploring
jointly with Airbus. The A400M will become a national asset and the cornerstone
for Human Assistance and Disaster Response missions beyond its tactical and
air-to-air capabilities,” said Prabowo Subianto, Minister of Defence of the
Republic of Indonesia.
