As discussed earlier, fishing vessels escorted by Chinese coast guard vessels from China entered the waters in Indonesian Natuna territory without permission. Indonesia also sent its warships to evict ships from China to immediately leave the Natuna waters in peace.
And Indonesia immediately sent a memorandum of protest to the Chinese government because it was considered to violate Indonesia's sovereignty.
And after that, TNI Commander Marshal Hadi Thjahjanto ordered the diversion of 4 Indonesian F-16 Air Force aircraft from Pekanbaru Roesmin Nurjadin (Rsn) Air Base to Natuna. This operation was codenamed Cross Eagle 20.
"Operation Lintas Elang basically secures the sovereign territory of the Republic of Indonesia. Today we go," said Commander of Lanud Rsn, First Marshal Ronny Irianto Moningka told reporters.
"The power we sent was an F16 aircraft. We will prepare this aircraft at the Air Force Base in Natuna. The order will shift first for how long it adjusts the leader's order," said Ronny.
For personnel, continued Ronny, there were 6 pilots plus 60 crew including technicians.
"When it comes to readiness, basically it prepares all personnel, pilots, airplanes to be ready to carry out operations," Ronny was quoted as saying from detik.com.
