The Indonesian air force dispatched two FLANKERs from Batam from 13:58 p.m. after a radar unit in Natuna island spotted the airspace incursion at 13:36 p.m.
An anonymous source said the call signs for both aircraft were “Navy 562” and “CNV 7327”. The news report identified the planes as Super King Airs. Both left Indonesian airspace after the Sukhois had visual contact with them.
