The contract with Indonesia for the supply of Su-35 fighters is valid, Dmitry Shugaev, director of the Federal Service for Military-Technical Cooperation (FSVTS) of Russia, told reporters in Belgrade. According to him, Russia expects to begin its implementation in the foreseeable future.
“Su-35 is not a closed topic, we will talk about development,” said Mr. Shugaev (quoted by Interfax). The head of the FSMTC expressed hope for a decision on the implementation of this contract.
At the end of 2018, Indonesian Air Force spokesman Novyan Samega did not rule out that the supply of the Su-35 could be in jeopardy due to U.S. sanctions. Then it was reported that in case of refusal of Russian fighters, Indonesia will choose the American F-16 Viper. According to Mr. Samega, Jakarta "needs to use a combination of fighters of both eastern and western production."
Before that, Kommersant learned that the shipments planned for October of this year to Indonesia, the Su-35, are being delayed, since the authorities of this country are waiting for guarantees from the United States that they will not apply sanctions due to cooperation with Rosoboronexport.
