Tight Pockets, Prabowo Delays Purchase of 12 Used Fighter Jets from Qatar

"Dream - The Indonesian government has postponed plans to purchase 12 used Mirage 2000-5 fighter jets that were previously operated by the Qatari air force. The news of the postponement was conveyed by Dahnil Anzar Simanjuntak, spokesperson for Defense Minister Prabowo Subianto."

“After this plan is agreed upon, the government, in this case, the Ministry of Finance and also the Ministry of Defense, Mr. Minister of Defense postponed the purchase of the Mirage 2000-5 aircraft. Why? Because our fiscal capacity for the time being cannot support the purchase of the Mirage 2000-5.”
Dahnil's words in the video uploaded to his Twitter account, @Dahnilanzar.

The text "Dream.co.id." does not contain any translatable content, so it remains the same in English: "Dream.co.id."

The translation of "Menunda Pembelian Jet Tempur" to English is "Postponing the Purchase of Fighter Jets."

"It was conveyed that the delay has been decided by the Ministry of Defense and the Ministry of Finance. Indonesia is indeed in the process of overhauling its aging air fleet, including the US-made F-16 jets, and the Russian-made Sukhoi Su-27 and Su-30."

"Previously, the government had signed an agreement worth 733 million euros or around Rp12.4 trillion for the purchase of 12 used Mirage 2000-5 fighter jets, a variant of the fighter aircraft produced by the French company Dassault Aviation."

The translation of "Sebelumnya Digunakan AU Qatar" to English is "Previously Used by AU Qatar".

The purchase was made through Excalibur International, a unit of the Czech defense company Czechoslovak Group, which acted as the agent for the jet. Initially, the aircraft was acquired by the Qatar Emiri Air Force in the late 1990s.

The planes are scheduled to be delivered to Indonesia in January 2025. Last year, the Ministry of Defense purchased the used jets as a quick and effective solution to fill the gap in Air Force capabilities.

The translation of "Lama Tidak Digunakan" to English is "Not Used for a Long Time".

"Since being acquired by Qatar nearly three decades ago, the fighter jets have reportedly not been used much. The fleet has been offered to Pakistan and India but has not yielded results, while Bulgaria has also expressed its interest."

"In an interview, Dahnil stated that the Indonesian Air Force will actually order a retrofit for the existing Sukhoi and F-16 aircraft until the arrival of the first Rafale fighter jet in two years."

The decision to postpone the purchase of the Mirage was known shortly after Jokowi approved a 20 percent increase in defense spending until the end of 2024, to help enhance the country's military hardware.
