Indonesia explained the delay in the deal to buy Russian Su-35
The Indonesian authorities do not refuse to buy Russian Su-35 fighters, the delay in the transaction is associated with the coronavirus pandemic and US sanctions. This was reported by TASS with reference to the newspaper Jakarta Post.
It is noted that despite the lack of progress in the procurement of fighters, the level of cooperation between Moscow and Jakarta, in particular, is indicated by the visit of the Minister of Defense of Indonesia Prabovo Subianto as an honored guest at the Victory Parade.
According to an expert on defense industry from BINUS University, Kurie Maharani, Prabovo could lobby for the release of Indonesia from the list of countries that are facing consequences for violating the Law on Countering America's Adversaries through Sanctions. Also, the leadership of Indonesia may resume the transaction after the presidential election in the United States and the advent of the new administration.
The fact that the supply of Russian Su-35 Indonesia is postponed due to US sanctions, Kommersant reported in October 2019. According to sources, the United States did not give Indonesia guarantees not to apply restrictive measures against it because of cooperation with Russia.
The agreement on the supply of 11 fighters Russia and Indonesia signed in February 2018. The cost of the contract was estimated at 1.14 billion dollars, with half of the amount - 570 million dollars - Indonesia will be able to pay for goods. It was planned to start the transfer of aircraft back in 2019.
Su-35 - multi-functional fighter generation 4 ++. The last combat aircraft built on the basis of the T-10S platform, which became the basis for the Su-27 / Su-30 family fighters and their modifications. The aircraft is purchased by the Russian Air Force (two contracts for 98 aircraft), and is also sold to China in the Su-35SK version (24 aircraft, the first ones transferred in December 2016).
