The training focused on tactical airlift cooperation, base security, operational maintenance, and aerial medical evacuation. Beginning September 8, the Indonesian Air Force also commenced Misi Pegase 2026 with the French Air and Space Force at Halim Perdanakusuma Air Force Base in Jakarta. This exercise involves approximately 270 aviators and includes French Rafale fighter jets and Airbus A400M transport aircraft. For the first time, Indonesian paratroopers performed static jumps from an Airbus A400M. Major General Julien Sabene noted that Indonesia was selected for this mission as France views the nation as a ‘strategic partner and a central actor in the Indo-Pacific region.’ ## Timeline ### 2026-09-22: Indonesian and French air forces conduct Misi Pegase 2026 exercises Indonesian and French air forces are conducting joint Misi Pegase 2026 exercises in Jakarta, featuring the first A400M parachute jumps by TNI AU and the deployment of French Rafale fighter jets. 5 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/indonesian-and-french-air-forces-conduct-misi-pegase-2026-exercises ### 2026-09-11: US and Indonesia complete Cope West 2026 air exercises The U.S. Air Force and Indonesian Air Force completed the 13th Cope West exercise in Manado, focusing on tactical airlift, medical evacuation, and joint air operations. 3 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/us-and-indonesia-complete-cope-west-2026-air-exercises --- Cite as: Indonesian international military air exercises.
