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.
