Indonesia purchases
the Rafale
(Saint-Cloud,
France, February
10,
2022) – In the presence
of the French Minister of the Armed Forces, Florence Parly, and the
Indonesian Minister of Defence, Prabowo Subianto, the Chairman and
CEO of Dassault Aviation, Eric Trappier, and the Air Vice Marshal
Yusuf Jauhari, Head of Defence Facilities Agency of the Indonesian
Ministry of Defence, signed the contract for the acquisition by
Indonesia of 42 latest-generation Rafale aircraft, at a ceremony
held today in Jakarta.
The Rafale acquisition for the Tentara Nasional
Indonesia Angkatan Udara (Indonesian National Army Air Force)
includes a complete turnkey solution, with a comprehensive package
that covers aircrew training, logistical support for several
Indonesian air bases, and a training center with two full-mission
simulators.
The Rafale's unique "omnirole" capability will
provide Indonesia with a tool for sovereignty and operational
independence, reinforcing its role as a major regional power.
Indonesian industry will benefit from a
substantial industrial return, not only in the aeronautical sector,
but also in all the other major areas of cooperation relating to
the broad portfolio of dual technologies mastered by Dassault
Aviation and its industrial partners, Safran Aircraft Engines and
Thales.
"It is a great honor for Dassault Aviation to
see the Rafale join the highly prestigious Tentara Nasional
Indonesia Angkatan Udara air force, and I would like to thank the
Indonesian authorities for the trust they have placed in us. This
contract marks the start of a long-term partnership that will see
Dassault Aviation rapidly step up its presence in the country. It
also demonstrates the strong bond between Indonesia and France and
reinforces the position of the world's largest archipelago as a key
power on the international stage. I am confident that the Rafale
will meet the operational needs of the Indonesian Air Force,
actively contributing to the defence and sovereignty of the
Republic of Indonesia", said Eric Trappier on this
occasion.
