AIRSPACE REVIEW (airspace-review.com) – Kesepakatan Penjualan Militer Asing (FMS) pesawat tiltrotor Bell-Boeing MV-22 Block C Osprey yang telah disetujui oleh pemerintah Amerika Serikat terhadap Indonesia tidak mengalami kemajuan.

Bahkan, kata Boeing, penjualan delapan pesawat MV-22 Osprey untuk TNI Angkatan Darat tersebut secara signifikan telah keluar dari jalur.

Sebelumnya pada 6 Juli 2020, Badan Kerjasama Pertahanan Keamanan (DSCA) Departemen Pertahanan AS telah mengumumkan izin dari Departemen Luar Negeri AS perihal persetujuan penjualan MV-22C Osprey kepada Indonesia.
