TNI AU, as an inseparable part of the Indonesian National Defence Forces, must be able to adapt and be ready for all possible scenariosJakarta (ANTARA) - The Indonesian Air Force (TNI AU) has grown into a more modern military organisation, according to the Indonesian Military Chief Admiral Yudo Margono.
"Along with the nation's history, TNI AU has grown to be a more modern military organisation beloved by the people," Margono stated in his remarks while presiding over the TNI AU's 77th Anniversary commemoration at Halim Perdanakusuma Air Force Base here, Sunday.
Today's commemoration event, organised with the theme "Professional, Modern, and Resilient Air Force Respected in Region", includes a ceremony, a parade, and a military defile.
"The theme showed TNI AU's commitment to continue revving up its capability to face an increasingly complex threat spectrum," he affirmed.
Margono said that countries would face new challenges in the form of food, energy, and financial crises after successfully controlling the COVID-19 pandemic.
The ongoing Ukraine-Russia War has also worsened the global geopolitical situation and increased tension, he added.
"TNI AU, as an inseparable part of the Indonesian National Defence Forces, must be able to adapt and be ready for all possible scenarios," the military chief stated.
Meanwhile, Margono also instructed air force personnel to exert their effort in realising a stronger air force and develop a sense of pride, resilience, and honour to be better personnel that will never give up and always be part of the solution.
"I believe TNI AU is capable to become an air power respected in the region, the power that can protect the nation and the country all the time," he remarked.
