On November 3, 2025, Indonesia received its first Airbus A400M tactical transport aircraft at Halim Perdanakusuma Air Force Base, a significant advancement in modernizing its military logistics and strategic airlift capabilities. This aircraft, capable of carrying 37 tonnes and operating from short runways, supports multi-role missions, including humanitarian aid and disaster response. With plans for a second delivery in 2026 and the potential integration of firefighting modules, Indonesia is enhancing its readiness for natural disasters across its vast archipelago. This development reflects Indonesia’s commitment to upgrading its military assets, which is crucial for addressing regional security challenges and improving overall defense preparedness.
