Su-35s for Indonesia

Indonesia and Russia have signed a contract for 11 Sukhoi Su-35 ( Flanker-E) fighters, some four years after the type was selected to replace Northrop F-5E and F-5F Tiger II fighters, reportedly valued at $1.14 billion. The procurement will include an unspecified weapons package and technology transfer to enable Indonesia to establish a maintenance, repair and overhaul capability for these aircraft. Russia will deliver the first two aircraft by October 2018 to No.14 Squadron based at Iswahyudi Air Base in East Java.
