Dream - Two tactical fighter planes EMB-314 Super Tucano experienced an accident in Bromo National Park, Tengger, Semeru (TNBTS), Thursday afternoon, November 16, 2023. Specifically in Keduwung Village, Puspo, Pasuruan, East Java. The Head of the Air Force Information Service, First Marshal R Agung Sasongkojati, stated that the two planes were conducting routine flight exercises. He added that the two planes were deemed airworthy based on the initial inspection results from the Air Squadron 21 team, Abdulrachman Saleh Air Base.

According to Agung, bad weather conditions caused the pilot to have limited visibility. The aircraft, while passing through the bad weather conditions, maneuvered to free itself. However, during the maneuver, contact was lost with the aircraft with tail numbers TT-3111 and TT-3103. "So this seems to be purely due to the weather, but I cannot confirm yet because further investigation is needed," said Agung, as quoted from Liputan6.com.

The following is the translation of the given 'Bahasa' text to 'English' while preserving any html tags: "The canopy opening and closing system can be activated electrically. As for the strength of the cockpit glass, it is capable of withstanding bird impacts at a speed of 300 knots. As a COIN aircraft, the internal weapon system is essential in the EMB-314 Super Tucano. Its organic elements consist of two heavy machine guns (SMB) with a caliber of 12.7mm, FN Herstal M3P type, placed on each wing."

Meanwhile, from the external side, EMB-314 Super Tucano has five pylons positioned on the left and right wings (two pylons each) with a maximum capacity of 250Kg. The main pylon is located under the aircraft body with a maximum carrying capacity of 350Kg. As a result, the maximum total weight of weapons that can be carried reaches 1,550Kg. The collection of weapons that can be carried includes MK-81/MK-82 bombs, cluster bombs, FFAR rocket pods, and laser-guided missiles, such as Maverick. To face air duels, EMB-314 Super Tucano can also carry AIM-9L Sidewinder or MAA-A1 Piranha anti-aircraft missiles.

This aircraft is also equipped with a self-defense system consisting of RWR (Radar Warning Receiver), MAWS (Missile Approach Warning System), and chaff/flare dispenser. Similar to modern fighter jets, the EMB-314 Super Tucano is also equipped with an FLIR (Forward Looking Infrared) system, adopting the StarSAFIRE III type placed under the aircraft body. With FLIR, the crew can target, navigate, and identify targets. This system also allows for surveillance and attacks both during the day and at night, and is capable of facing all weather conditions.
