Indonesian Air Force chief says joint air operations need more improvement

The Indonesian Air Force recently carried out Exercise Sikatan Daya 2016 from May 25 to Jun. 2 in Kalimantan. Chief of Air Force Air Marshal Agus Supriatna was unhappy with the outcome after reviewing it at Dwi Harmono Maluka Baulin air weapon range.

“Today’s evaluation shows that air operations are not maximally conducted. When a Sukhoi [jet fighter] attacked a target, for example, the strike and timing was not fast enough,” Agus was quoted as saying.
