An air parade was held in Jakarta yesterday to mark the 81st anniversary of Indonesia’s independence.
The parade featured a mix of American, European (French and British), South Korean, and Russian aircraft operated by the Indonesian Air Force. The Russian-made aircraft are of particular interest.
Indonesia was one of the first foreign operators of Sukhoi’s heavy fighter aircraft. Its air force currently operates 16 Su-27/30 family aircraft: five single-seat Su-27SK/SMKs and eleven two-seat Su-30MK/MK2s. All are assigned to the 11th Squadron of the 5th Air Wing at Sultan Hasanuddin Air Base in Makassar, on Sulawesi.
Indonesia plans to eventually replace its Su-27/30 fleet with newer fighters. It has already ordered French Dassault Rafales, with deliveries underway, and is also considering the South Korean KF-21.

Lockheed Martin has reported that Germany’s first F-35A, designated MG-01, has completed final assembly and moved to the finishing stage, including application of its external coating. The aircraft is expected to be officially rolled out and make its first flight later this year before being handed over to the Luftwaffe.
Seven more of Germany’s 35 F-35As are currently in production in the United States. After completion, they will remain in the U.S. for pilot and technician training. The fighters are expected to arrive in Germany by the end of 2027, where they will replace the Luftwaffe’s Tornado IDS fleet.

In a rare occurrence, a Russian Su-35S multirole fighter crossed into Ukrainian airspace, flew over the town of Uhroidy in Sumy Oblast, and launched a Kh-59/69 cruise missile at Sumy City before safely returning to Kursk Oblast.
Normally, Su-35S, Su-30SM/SM2, and Su-34 aircraft launch glide bombs and other guided munitions from roughly 50 km behind the frontline to minimize the risk of interception by Ukrainian air defenses.
It may have been an attempt to test Ukraine’s air defense response, but apparently no interception followed. Russia may be increasingly confident that Ukraine currently lacks sufficient PAC-2/3 interceptor missiles to pose a significant threat to its aircraft.

Devastation through the communities of Naahehu/Waiohinu, Hawaii after significant flooding.
Multiple homes have been completely destroyed, dozens of vehicles underneath volcanic rock and debris, and the cemetery was partially destroyed as flood waters carried headstones and caskets of loved ones downstream. This is a truly heartbreaking situation unfolding on the south side of the Big Island. 🎥 Jordan Hall
