Lanud Iswahjudi Madiun's groundwater officer is checking the installation of 250 kilograms of NATO Train (BNL) domestic production, on the wings of the F-16 fighter from the 3 Madiun Air Squadron, Monday (11/25/2019) last week. The Indonesian Air Force's Research and Development Agency (Dislitbang), in collaboration with Malang bomb manufacturer PT Sari Bahari, managed to make its own training bomb resembling the popular Mark 82 bomb made in the United States. It took about 3 years of research before finally this Indonesian-made training bomb was tested directly. Eight bomb units that were tested in the Air Weapon Range (AWR) of Pandanwangi, Lumajang Regency, were declared successful and all of them successfully entered the shooting targets accurately. With this success in addition to the Indonesian Air Force fighter pilots no longer dependent on US production bombs, Indonesia also had the opportunity to export to countries that use NATO warplanes. - JP / Wahyoe Boediwardhana / Adi / 19
DESCRIPTION (ID)
Petugas air ground lanud Iswahjudi Madiun tengah mengecek pemasangan Bom NATO Latih (BNL) 250 kilogram produksi dalam negeri, pada sayap pesawat tempur F-16 dari Skadron Udara 3 Madiun, Senin (25/11/2019) pekan lalu. Dinas Penelitian dan Pengembangan (Dislitbang) TNI AU, bekerjasama dengan produsen bom asal Malang PT Sari Bahari, berhasil membuat bom latih sendiri menyerupai bom populer Mark 82 buatan Amerika Serikat. Butuh waktu penelitian sekitar 3 tahun sebelum akhirnya bom latih buatan Indonesia ini diujicoba langsung. Delapan unit bom yang diujicoba di Air Weapon Range (AWR) Pandanwangi, Kabupaten Lumajang, dinyatakan lulus dan semuanya berhasil masuk ke dalam sasaran tembak secara akurat. Dengan keberhasilan ini selain pilot tempur TNI AU tidak lagi bergantung pada bom produksi Amerika Serikat, juga Indonesia berkesempatan melakukan ekspor ke negara-negara pengguna pesawat tempur NATO. - JP/Wahyoe Boediwardhana/Adi/19
