The Indonesian Air Force has announced on Twitter that will be waking up residents for Suhoor (pre-dawn meal) during Ramadan.
The air force jet will be flying over several cities on Java Island, namely Surabaya in East Java, Surakarta, Klaten and Sragen in Central Java and Yogyakarta, The Jakarta Post reported.
The tweet read, "God willing, we will carry out the tradition to wake people up for Suhoor using fighter aircraft."

Pilots will be required to use afterburners to generate noise to wake people up.
Air Force spokesperson Col. Sus M. Yuris said the mission will be carried out to make sure that air force personnel do not train when they are fasting."Fighter pilots are not recommended to operate aircraft when they are in the state of having low blood sugar levels," he said.
