Indonesian state-owned aviation company PT Dirgantara Indonesia (PTDI) confirmed on 21 July 2021, that they delivered two new Bell 412EPI medium multi-role helicopters to the Indonesian Army (TNI-AD).
The helicopters are the forth and fifth helicopters out of a total of nine ordered by the Indonesian Ministry of Defence (MOD) under a US$183 million contract signed on December 2018.
All nine helicopters are built by Bell Helicopters Textron in the US, and are delivered to the PTDI for customizing according the TNI-AD’s requirements, including additional accessories and armaments like the M134D galting-type gun from American arms company Dillon Aero.
The helicopters will be operated by the 11th Assault Squadron of the TNI-AD’s Army Aviation Center, which received the first helicopter on December 2020, and the second and third units on February 2021.
