The Indonesian Air Force (Indonesian: Tentara Nasional Indonesia Angkatan Udara, (TNI-AU), lit. 'Indonesian National Military-Air Force') sometimes shortened as IDAF / IdAF, is the aerial branch of the Indonesian National Armed Forces. The Indonesian Air Force is headquartered in Jakarta, Indonesia, and is headed by the Chief of Staff of the Air Force (Kepala Staf Angkatan Udara – KSAU or KASAU). Its order of battle is split into three Air Operations Commands (Indonesian: Komando Operasi Udara). Most of its airbases are located on the island of Java.[4] The Indonesian Air Force also has its ground force unit, called Air Force Quick Reaction Force Command (Kopasgat). The corps is also known as the "Orange Berets" (Baret Jingga) due to the distinctive color of their service headgear.
The Indonesian Air Force has 30,100 personnel and equipped with 110 combat aircraft. The inventory includes 33 F-16 Fighting Falcons as the main fighters (from the United States) supplemented by five Su-27 and eleven Su-30 (from Russia), Hawk 200, KAI T-50 and Embraer EMB 314.[5] The Indonesian Air Force also intends to purchase 50 KF-X fighter jets from Korea.[6] As of 2023, the Indonesian Air Force purchased 42 Rafale from France,[7] along with C-130J transport aircraft and a Medium-altitude long-endurance unmanned aerial vehicle.[8] The airforce also signed an MoU for acquiring 24 Boeing F-15EX Eagle II fighter jets as of August 2023.[9]
