Defense Minister Prabowo Subianto is reviewing the purchase of 11 Sukhoi Su-35 fighter jets from Russia. This US$1.1 billion purchase was made in 2018, but the Indonesian government has yet to decide on its continuation, allegedly due to the threat of sanctions from the United States.
Previously, Indonesia had purchased other Sukhoi series aircraft. In 2003, Indonesia purchased two units each of the Su-27 and Su-30 series. Further purchases of the same series were made in 2008, with three units of each series. Finally, Indonesia purchased six Sukhoi Su-30 aircraft in 2012. The Sukhoi Su-30 and Su-35 are developments of the Su-27.
