Indonesia looks to procure Japan's US-2 aircraft

Indonesia and Japan are looking to develop a procurement plan featuring Indonesia's potential purchase of US-2 amphibious search-and-rescue (SAR) aircraft.
An MoD statement said that Indonesian Defence Minister and Indonesia's ambassador to Japan,discussed the potential US-2 procurement on 5 May.
It added that any move to buy the US-2 would be linked to the defence memorandum of understanding (MoU) signed by Indonesia and Japan in March that outlines a commitment from both countries to collaborate on military equipment and technologies.
The Japanese government is now waiting for systems specifications required and a purchase plan from the government of Indonesia.
