“Exercise Elang Ausindo will enhance the tactical fighter interoperability between our two countries. During the exercise, the TNI-AU will share knowledge and experience in training, including visual manoeuvring and airborne intercepts,” WGCDR Pete Mitchell, CO of 75SQN, said.
“Flying missions during Ex Elang Ausindo is only one component of the training that we expect to achieve, we will also dedicate considerable time to working together to master the joint planning and briefing process.”
