Indonesia will replace its F-5 Tiger jet fighters with Russian Sukhoi Su-35

September 6, 2015

Indonesia’s defense minister Ryamizard Ryacudu announced the Russian-made Su-35 to replace its F-5s, the country’s state news agency Antara reported. The contract between Indonesia and Russia will be signed later in September, according to the minister. Jakarta will buy Su-35 jets in several stages, depending on the country’s financial capacity, Ryacudu said. Indonesia and Russia previously signed a $1 billion contract in 2007 under which Indonesia purchased Russian military equipment including Sukhoi jets and Mi-35 helicopters.
