        "content": "<p>President Prabowo Subianto has handed over a number of military\ndefence assets, including missiles, to the Indonesian National Armed\nForces (TNI). He stated that this handover represents a milestone in the\nexpansion of Indonesia\u2019s national strength.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo, we are officially receiving, according to our customs, the\naddition of defence assets for our air force. We are receiving six\nfighter jets, specifically the Rafale, as well as transport aircraft,\nthe Falcon VIP transport, and the A4 . There are also radars,\u201d said\nPrabowo at Halim Perdanakusuma Air Force Base, Jakarta, on Monday\n(18\/06\/2026).<\/p>\n<p>Prabowo spoke about the necessity of increasing Indonesia\u2019s national\ndefence capabilities. According to him, this military enhancement serves\nas a deterrent to ensure Indonesia is capable of protecting its own\nterritory from various potential threats.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTherefore, brothers, I believe this is one of the milestones in\nincreasing our strength. We must continuously enhance our defence\ncapabilities as a deterrent. We have no interests other than protecting\nour own territory,\u201d he stated.<\/p>\n<p>He assessed that defence is a primary requirement for creating\nnational stability. Consequently, the government will continue to build\nand strengthen defence capabilities in the future.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cLooking at the global situation, geopolitics is full of uncertainty,\nand we know that defence is the primary requirement for stability and\nthe guarantee that we can remain sovereign,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI believe that is the core point; in the future, we will continue to\nbuild our strength. We want to secure our airspace, our maritime\nterritory, and certainly our land territory,\u201d he continued.<\/p>\n<p>The handover ceremony took place at Halim Perdanakusuma Air Force\nBase on Monday (18\/06\/2026) at 10:00 WIB. The assets delivered included\nsix Rafale fighter jets, four Falcon 8X aircraft, and one Airbus A400M\nAtlas MRTT.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to the aircraft, the handover included GCI GM403 Radar\nweaponry, as well as Meteor Air-to-Air Beyond Visual Range (BVR)\nmissiles and AASM Hammer smart weapons, which are part of the Rafale\u2019s\narsenal.<\/p>\n<p>Following the handover of the keys, Prabowo inspected several of the\nmilitary assets on-site. The President began his inspection at the\nRafale cockpit, examining the Hammer smart weapons and Meteor missiles,\nbefore proceeding to inspect the GCI GM403 Radar.<\/p>",
