Nice to see Indonesian Armed Force commanders that are pro local defense Industry. New Armed Force Commander shows that tendency, Army Commander, General Dudung, also shows it as before Defense Minister propose 10 N219 and 3 CN 235 acquisition to Minister of Planning and Minister of Finance for Army, General Dudung already visited Indonesian Aerospace, so it looks like the initiative to have 10 N219 and 3 CN235 planes for Army comes from General Dudung.

Now, AlhamduliLLAH, we see similar tendency and commitment with new Navy Commander, General Muhammad Ali. Only Air Force Commander that still lack of this independence spirits. Jokowi has stressed many times about the important to prioritize local products within state/local government and SOE spending budget.

Air Force is well-known with several corruption scandal over imported equipment like even former Air Force commander is currently under investigation by KPK (Indonesian Anti-Corruption Body) over corruption case with Italian made Helicopter acquisition.
