JAKARTA - Air Force Chief of Staff (KSAU), Marshal Fadjar Prasetyo, said the Russian-Ukrainian conflict affected the main weapons system equipment (Alutsista) Indonesia purchased from Russia.
"Of course, more or less it will affect not only the equipment from there. I think the whole world is watching, more or less there will be changes", said Kasau after the 2022 TNI AU Leadership Meeting at the Cilangkap Headquarters, East Jakarta, quoted by Antara, Friday, March 4th.
Currently, Indonesia has quite a lot of defense equipment from Russia. There are at least 16 Sukhoi Su-27 and Su-30 fighter jets operated by the Indonesian Air Force. In addition, the Indonesian Army also operates Mi-35P and Mi-17V helicopters.

However, continued Air Force Chief, spare parts such as Sukhoi fighter planes purchased from Russia are still safe because of the long-term cooperation scheme.
"In terms of aircraft maintenance, we do not do it in the short term, so we have purchased some spare parts some time ago", explained Fadjar.
