Indonesia Welcomes the Final Batch of 18 Rafale Jets: A New Era in Defense Strength!
The final batch of 18 Rafale aircraft for Indonesia was officially activated today. This follows the activation, in September 2022 and August 2023, of the initial two batches of 6 and 18 Rafale, thereby fulfilling the total number of planes ordered by Indonesia under the agreement signed in February 2022 for the procurement of 42 Rafale jets.
“By selecting the Rafale, Indonesia has chosen an exceptional asset for its sovereignty and operational autonomy, which will further solidify its standing as a prominent regional power. This decision also reinforces ambitious industrial and academic collaborations. We are wholeheartedly dedicated to ensuring this alliance flourishes, with a firmly long-term perspective,” stated Eric Trappier, Chairman and CEO of Dassault Aviation.
