Indonesia will replace the US F-5E, Russian fighter Su-35

The Indonesian Air Force will replace American fighter jets with Russian Su-35.

The intention to re-equip the Indonesian Air Force was voiced last week by the Minister of Defense of Indonesia. As a result of the meeting, military experts came to almost unanimous opinion that the obsolete F-5E fighters are more unsuitable for ensuring the security and territorial integrity of Indonesia, while the purchase of new American aircraft is enormously expensive, while in essence they are Are much inferior to the Russian Su-35 warplanes.

At the current time, the volume of the proposed purchases remain unknown, but experts suggest that it was most likely talking about a minimum of 12 aircraft, although in the end, the number of aircraft to be procured can be much larger.

It is possible that the conclusion about the need to switch to the operation of Russian Su-35 fighters was made after the MAKS-2015 international air show.
