Possible western embargo taken into account in air force`s fighter replacement plan

The Air Force has made careful provisions for the possibility of a military embargo by the West in its fighter-plane replacement program, Air Force Chief Marshal Herman Prayitno said here on Monday.

"We have duly taken it (a western military embargo) into account," the Air Force chief said when asked on the possibility of the West imposing an embargo on the Air Force`s fighter planes because part of the components in a number of planes to be bought to replace the old ones came from the West.
