Kepala Staf Angkatan Udara (KSAU) Marsekal M Tonny Harjono meresmikan tugu pesawat di Pangkalan Angkatan Udara Raden Sadjad (Lanud RSA) Natuna, Kepulauan Riau, Selasa (7/5/2024).

REPUBLIKA.CO.ID, NATUNA — Kepala Staf Angkatan Udara (KSAU) Marsekal  M Tonny Harjono meresmikan tugu pesawat di Pangkalan Angkatan Udara Raden Sadjad (Lanud RSA) Natuna, Kepulauan Riau. Tonny meresmikan tugu tersebut di sela kunjungan ke Lanud RSA.

Dia menyebut, kunjungannya ke Natuna tidak hanya untuk meresmikan tugu pesawat, namun juga untuk memeriksa kesiapan operasi Lanud RSA dalam menjaga wilayah perbatasan. “Kunjungan ini dalam rangka mengecek kesiapan operasi Lanud,” ucap Tonny di Lanud RSA, Natuna, Selasa (7/5/2024).

 

Tonny tidak hanya berkunjung ke Lanud RSA, namun juga berkeliling ke sejumlah lanud dan satuan lainnya. “Yang pertama saya berkunjung ke Komando Operasi Udara I yang berada di Lanud Supadio, Pontianak,” ujar mantan ajudan Presiden Jokowi tersebut.

 

Pada kesempatan yang sama, Tonny menyampaikan, Lanud RSA akan naik tipe dari tipe B ke A. Dengan begitu, komandan lanud yang saat ini dijabat kolonel akan naik menjadi marsekal pertama (marsma).

Menurut dia, peningkatan tipe harus dilakukan lantaran Natuna merupakan wilayah perbatasan. “Masih dalam tahap proses dan memang perlu ada peningkatan,” ucap Tonny.

Dia menyampaikan, TNI AU juga akan melakukan penambahan sarana dan prasarana di Lanud RSA, termasuk drone. “Kita akan memperkuat lagi, nanti akan ada alutsita. 2026 akan ada datang PTTA (pesawat terbang tanpa awak), yang sekarang sudah ada akan kita tambah lagi,” ujar Tonny.

Dia pun mengajak para insan pers di perbatasan untuk bersama-sama menjaga kedaulatan NKRI dan membantu jajarannya di Kabupaten Natuna. Apalagi, Natuna merupakan wilayah terdepan yang berbatasan dengan Laut China Selatan.
