Indonesia will not fall under US sanctions for the purchase of Russian Su-35 fighters


CAMTO, 31 August. US Secretary of Defense James Mattis expressed confidence that Indonesia would not be subject to the sanctions of the CAATSA (On Countering America's Opposition through Sanctions) in connection with the purchase of weapons in Russia, including the Su-35 fighter aircraft.

According to ANTARA News, referring to the Minister of Defense of Indonesia, Riyamizard Ryachudu, who visited Washington on August 28, James Mattis will continue to defend his position in the US Congress, which is to allow several US strategic partners to buy weapons in Russia without any restrictions of the CAATSA act in accordance with one of its paragraphs.

D. Mattis urged Congress to ease sanctions against India, Indonesia and Vietnam, which historically had relations with Russia, but now they are increasingly inclined towards the United States with regard to purchases of weapons and military equipment.

In response, R.Ryachudu thanked his American colleague for persuading Congress to abandon the sanctions and recalled that in the near future it is planned to purchase a number of American systems, including C-130 Hercules military transport aircraft and other aviation equipment.
