REPUBLIKA.CO.ID, BANDUNG -- The Indonesian aerospace company PT Dirgantara Indonesia (PTDI) has recommended the bulletproof EC-725 Cougar helicopter for the Indonesian president and vice president.

"The Airbus EC-725 helicopter is highly recommended for VVIPs," Production Director of PTDI Arie Wibowo stated here on Wednesday (Nov. 25).

Arie noted that the Airbus EC-725 has been designed as a bulletproof helicopter and especially has armor protection on its sides and bottom.

"The glass is not bulletproof as a helicopter could potentially be shot at from the bottom. The bottom and sides are bulletproof, while a lubricant is applied on the fuel tank," he affirmed.
