Indonesia will order 42 Rafale fighter jets, French Defence Minister Florence Parly, who is currently on a trip to the Asian country, confirmed on Thursday.
“It’s official: Indonesia orders 42 Rafales,” she said in a tweet.
Dassault Aviation, which produces the aircraft, said the deal marked the start of a long-term partnership and would allow it to rapidly step up its presence in Indonesia.
