Russia can adapt Su-35 multipurpose fighters to the request of the Indonesian Air Force, the press service of Rosoboronexport (part of Rostec) reports.

“Russia can supply Indonesia with the latest Su-35 multipurpose fighters, adapting them as much as possible to the needs of the customer. We are sure that this is the best choice for increasing the combat effectiveness of the Indonesian Air Force, ”the report said.

The company added that US attempts to force other countries, including Indonesia, to abandon the acquisition of the Su-35 are unacceptable and are "a manifestation of unfair competition."

In March, the head of the FSVTS Dmitry Shugaev said that Russia concluded contracts for the supply of military products worth $ 17 billion last year.

Su-35 is a Russian multi-purpose, highly maneuverable 4 ++ generation fighter. By its characteristics, the machine is closely approximated to fifth-generation aircraft.

It is a deep modernization of the Su-27. The modernization affected both on-board equipment and the airframe, which was strengthened.

In addition, the machine received a significantly more powerful radar station, an expanded arsenal of guided weapons, including long-range missiles aimed at the target by radar.


Su-35 is capable of performing a long flight at transonic speeds without turning on afterburner due to the replacement of AL-31F engines with “product 117C”.
