Indonesia Arms Up To Counter China

 

Indonesia buying US F15ID jets

 

Indonesia also wants to buy nearly $14 billion in F-15ID aircraft, as well as lots of sensors and associated gear for the aircraft, U.S. officials announced Wednesday. 

 

The deal would help Indonesia "provide increased deterrence and air defense coverage across a very complex air and maritime domain," thereby "improving the security of an important regional partner that is a force for political stability, and economic progress in the Asia-Pacific region," DSCA said separately on Wednesday. Boeing is the sole contractor involved in that deal.
