USA May Sell 24 F-16 Fighter Jets to Indonesia

The US has offered to provide additional F-16 fighter jets to Indonesia through a grant, Defense Minister Purnomo Yusgiantoro said here on Wednesday.

He noted that the offer was made when the defense ministry`s secretary general, Vice Marshal Eris Herryanto, visited the United States last week.

"They are positive about providing more (fighters) through a grant," he told newsmen at his office.

The shipment of 24 used F-16 jets planned for Indonesia have not yet been delivered, though.

Purnomo said the US offer would be discussed and, if approved, would improve the strength of the country`s air force as the number of fighter planes would triple.

"The grant will accelerate the achievement of the defense forces` (TNI) minimum essential force program," he said.

Purnomo said he did not worry about the possibility of the grant being hindered in case President Barrack Obama was not reelected because it had been approved by the US Congress.

Further, Vice Marshal Eris Herryanto did not know how many additional aircraft would be given by the US, but said the planes would have the same specifications as those of the 24 F-16s delivered earlier.

He noted that the capability of the planes would be upgraded to equal that of the F-16 Block 52, and with the upgrading the planes would be able to fly for 15 to 20 years.

By 2014 around 45 aircraft, including fighter or transport planes, are expected to arrive in Indonesia.

To operate the increasing number of fighter and transport planes, the air force chief of staff`s logistics assistant, Rear Marshal JFP Sitompul, said the Air Force has recruited some 30 pilots annually.

John 3:16-18 ESV
For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son (Jesus Christ), that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through him. Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only Son of God.
