PT Dirgantara Indonesia (PTDI) kembali menunjukkan progres nyata dalam pemenuhan kontrak 9 (sembilan) unit pesawat NC212i dengan Kementerian Pertahanan (Kemhan) RI untuk end user TNI AU, melalui pelaksanaan ferry flight pesawat NC212i unit ke-7 dari Hanggar Delivery Center PTDI, Bandung menuju Lanud Abdulrachman Saleh, Malang. Pesawat NC212i ini dikirimkan dengan konfigurasi Navigation Training (NavTrain) yang dirancang khusus untuk mendukung pelatihan awak udara, sekaligus memperkuat kontribusi PTDI dalam meningkatkan kesiapan operasional dan kemampuan pendidikan TNI AU.
Pesawat NC212i konfigurasi NavTrain ini dilengkapi dengan meja dan panel instrumen navigasi, kursi instruktur dan trainee, perangkat komunikasi dan serta sistem navigasi yang memungkinkan pelatihan prosedur penerbangan secara langsung di dalam pesawat. Kehadiran fitur tersebut menjadikan NC212i NavTrain sebagai platform yang efektif bagi awak udara, khususnya calon navigator dan crew misi, sehingga mendukung peningkatan kompetensi sumber daya manusia TNI AU dalam menghadapi berbagai skenario operasi.
Direktur Produksi PTDI, Dena Hendriana bersama tim program NC212i meninjau langsung persiapan ferry flight pesawat NC212i yang kemudian akan dioperasikan oleh Skadron Udara 4. Pesawat dengan tail number AX-2134 ini diterbangkan oleh Mayor Pnb Kurniawan S. sebagai Pilot In Command Ferry dan Kapten Pnb Wahyu Nur Syarifudin sebagai Copilot. Sebelumnya, pesawat ini telah melalui proses Indonesian Defence Airworthiness Authority (IDAA) Acceptance pada tanggal 3 Desember 2025, guna memastikan seluruh aspek kualitas dan kelaikan operasional memenuhi standar pertahanan yang berlaku. Dengan pengiriman ini PTDI telah menuntaskan 7 (tujuh) unit dari total 9 (sembillan) unit NC212i yang disepakati dalam kontrak dengan Kemhan RI, sementara unit ke-8 (delapan) direncanakan akan dikirim pada kuartal pertama 2026.
Seperti unit sebelumnya, pesawat ini juga sudah dilengkapi dengan baling-baling buatan MT Propeller, Jerman, yakni MTV-27 yang telah disertifikasi oleh EASA.

The Royal Thai Air Force has announced the winner of the Integrated Air Defense System (IADS) development program. The BARAK MX system has been selected from Israel Aerospace Industries Ltd. (IAI). The BARAK MX will be purchased for 3,440.37 million baht. The BARAK MX will be the Royal Thai Armed Forces' most advanced air defense weapon system.
The BARAK MX is designed to eliminate air threats, including drones and long-range missiles, and offers advanced interception capabilities. This technological superiority significantly expands the range of air defenses compared to existing systems, providing a multi-layered shield covering ranges from 35 to 70 km, and up to 150 km for longer-range threats.
Developed by Israel's IAI, the BARAK MX air and missile defense system is an advanced air and missile defense system designed to counter a wide range of threats, including aircraft, drones, intercontinental ballistic missiles, and cruise missiles. This system plays a key role in the multi-layered national defense strategy and is recognized for its flexibility and robust capabilities. It has been successfully demonstrated in its battlefield effectiveness and efficiency in intercepting Iranian ballistic missiles during Operation Rising Lion in June.
The BARAK MX system is an eight-tube launcher capable of carrying three types of guided munitions: the BARAK Medium-Range Air Defense System (MRAD), which uses a single pulse rocket motor and has a maximum range of 35 km; the BARAK Long-Range Air Defense System (LRAD), which uses a dual-pulse rocket motor and has a maximum range of 70 km. Both have a maximum range of 20 km; and the BARAK ER, which uses a dual-pulse rocket motor and booster, has a maximum range of 150 km and a maximum range of 30 km. It can withstand 50 G forces, making it difficult for evading targets. It provides fast and reliable target acquisition and is highly resistant to electronic countermeasures.
The BARAK MX system utilizes a network-centric architecture, providing maximum redundancy and supporting the integration of multiple sensors and battle management centers. This design enhances the system's ability to coordinate with other defense systems, more effectively address threats, and enhance real-time combat effectiveness.
The core of the BARAK MX system is its advanced interceptor warhead, which significantly expands the range of air defenses compared to conventional systems. With a multi-layered armor protection range of 35 to 70 kilometers, up to 150 kilometers for longer-range threats, the ability to select the most appropriate BARAK interceptor system for air threats reduces logistics and reduces lifecycle costs.
A key advantage of the BARAK MX interceptor system is its outstanding performance characteristics. The BARAK MX interceptor warhead was designed as a surface-to-air missile (SAM) from the start, featuring a dual-pulse rocket motor and a larger diameter, allowing for a larger search radar and warhead. These features enable the BARAK MX to address a wider range of threats, with increased mobility and the potential for highly accurate target interception.
The BARAK MX air defense system can operate in all weather conditions, day and night, for point and area defense missions, and can be adapted to coordinated combat operations within a networked joint task force. It can counter a wide range of threats, including aircraft, helicopters, cruise bombs, unmanned aerial vehicles, cruise missiles, and intercontinental ballistic missiles.
