USA left Indonesia without fifth generation F-35 fighters

The United States left Indonesia without fifth-generation F-35 fighters. According to the Indonesian Ambassador to the United States, Muhammad Lutfi, Washington does not intend to sell fifth generation fighters until Jakarta purchases American F-16 fighters, CNN Indonesia reported.

According to the ambassador, Washington said that Jakarta cannot own fifth-generation Lockheed Martin F-35 fighters until it purchases American fourth-generation fighters.



So there are platforms we have to work on to get the F-35. We must have 4th generation fighters. We must have F-16 fighters

- declared Lutfi.

The ambassador explained that in the near future the United States will come to Indonesia with a proposal to purchase a batch of F-16 fighters.

It should be noted that talks about the acquisition of F-16 fighters by Indonesia have been going on for a long time. Last fall, Air Force Chief of Staff Marshal aviation Yuyu Sutisna announced plans for Jakarta to purchase two F-16 squadrons of the latest modification.

At the same time, the contract for the purchase of Russian Su-35 fighters "stuck". Recall that the contract for the purchase of 11 Su-35 fighters by Indonesia was signed on February 14, 2018 in Jakarta. The Indonesian Ministry of Defense originally planned that the first two Su-35s should be delivered to the country in August 2019 - by Armed Forces Day (October 5). The remaining nine cars were planned to be transferred later in two batches of four and five units by February 2020 and by July 2020.

In March this year, Bloomberg, citing sources in the US White House administration, reported that Indonesia had refused to purchase Russian Su-35 fighters. The reason for this was called American pressure and the threat of sanctions against Jakarta. However, Russia did not receive official notice from Jakarta about the termination of the contract, although the Russian aircraft industry recognized that the "contract was suspended."

In July, the country's defense minister, Lieutenant General Prabovo Subianto, announced that he intended to visit Moscow to discuss a contract for Russian fighters.

      Why does Indonesia need these fighters? They need to strengthen their air defense and coastal defense. Make friends with Russia, Indonesians. The Amerza will arrange for you some kind of mango-banana revolution.

        As before, in Soviet stores they used to sell "on load". The same is proposed here to Indonesia.

    The Yankels have completely lost their shores, then they stretch their jurisdiction over the whole world like an owl on a globe and kidnap citizens, for example, of Russia, now they are putting Indonesian partners in lobster, although they have already caved in, they decided to abandon our Su-35s.
    It's time for us to attract mattresses under the article - violation of the Law on the Protection of Consumer Rights, namely paragraph 2 of Article 16, which prohibits the purchase of certain goods (works, services) from being conditional on the compulsory purchase of other goods, we must take an example from "partners" laughing

    That's right, but how else to shake their wallet more, if not selling first the previous models, and then with an important look and from the master's shoulder the notorious F-35. And before that, pressure so that Indonesia backed down on the issue of purchasing Russian aircraft. Business is business.

    First, the left testicle was pressed - "refuse the deal with the Russians, buy the F-35"!
    When they refused, they pressed their right testicle - "if you want an F-35, then buy an F-16 first!

    So that the third world does not dream of these F-35s as a panacea for everything, it is high time to "tarnish" their reputation.

      The most reliable thing is to make the state economically dependent. Having built any infrastructure on credit, they make this state dependent, and can impose any conditions.

            I haven't seen something on sale .. Don't you confuse it with a simple herring?
            Iwasi herring is a very rare type of fish and only in a certain season was it caught in the USSR!
            Iwasi is a Far Eastern sardine, which is a close relative of real herring, which, in principle, is not surprising, because this fish also belongs to the Herring family. Iwashi is a wild fish, that is, it is not raised on fish farms. Iwashi is characterized by the presence of a fairly impressive amount of fat, which can be easily separated from the dense, but fleshy carcasses.

            They are not on sale for a very long time .. Previously, they were sold in large round jars ..

    I just want to ask.
    In the English-language press, there is no 5th generation, it is "the Russians invented everything", there is simply next generation, why multiply entities ???
    By the way, the same question about "social distance", why is this stupid tracing paper from the media?
    Social distancing, also called “physical distancing” - equated a hedgehog and a snake.
    The social distance is between Vasya the locksmith and the press secretary of His Darkness.
    INCREDIBLE distance, and between people on the street is simply abstand, as the Germans say, distance.
    The fifth, sixth generation, these are such conventions ... There are no general requirements, there are no samples that fully satisfy the requirements of ALL experts (well, maybe the Fu-22 will ride), one popsnya with commercial advertising in half.
    There are NO more true samurai with a katana in the cockpit of a fighter.
