Rostec's Director for International Cooperation and Regional Policy Department announced that a contract for the delivery of the Su-35s to Indonesia had been agreed and would be signed this year. Indonesia, who already operates Su-27 and Su-30 aircraft, plans to acquire 10 Su-35 multirole fighters and bolster its air force capabilities. 

Featuring new avionics suite based on a digital information management system, new radar with an extended air target detection range and increased number of simultaneously tracked targets, Su-25s will replace the country's F-5 Tiger aircraft.
