REPUBLIKA.CO.ID, JAKARTA -- Chief of the Air Force Vice-Marshall Agus Supriyatna has said reinforcing the nation's radar capacity is important for increasing the country's defense capability.

"For the Air Force, all areas are equally important. We particularly want a strong air defense, such as a reinforcement of the capacity of its radars," Agus noted here on Friday (2/1).

The Air Force chief remarked that a good radar capacity will strengthen the defense and will help ensure the security of national aviation.

"If we have radars installed in every corner, we can detect every aircraft that enters our air space. No (foreign) airplanes can enter (our air corridors without permits)," he explained.
