"Su-35 is more dangerous than F-35": in Indonesia on the superiority of the Russian fighter

43

Indonesia is going to re-examine the possibility of acquiring Russian Su-35 fighters due to the White House's reluctance to sell the F-35 stealth fighter to Jakarta.

As the ambassador to the United States, Mohammad Lutfi, explained, the United States decided to leave Indonesia without fifth generation F-35 fighters. Washington is not going to sell its latest combat aircraft until Jakarta purchases enough F-16s. As the diplomat pointed out, soon the American delegation will visit the country to offer a batch of F-16 Fighting Falcon fighters.



The local press and experts quickly took notice of the topic, arguing that buying the American F-16 at the cost of the Russian Su-35 - "a fighter that even surpasses the F-35" - was absurd.

Why do we need American F-16s if we can easily buy the Russian Su-35, which is even more dangerous than the F-35 for any enemy. We did everything we could, but the Americans refused to sell their planes - now it's Washington's problem
- one of the analysts told a local newspaper.

Negotiations between Indonesia and the Russian Federation were conducted earlier, but then were postponed due to the possibility of Jakarta buying the F-35, along with fears of the US imposing an embargo under the CAATSA law. However, Indonesia can now re-consider the possibility of acquiring the Su-35 fighter, noting that it is in many ways (including maneuverability and climb speed) superior to the American 5th generation fighter.

Recall that at one time there was information that Russian fighters were allegedly offered to partially pay with palm oil.

      The oil in the form of products will reach store shelves or factories for its processing into non-food products.
      And selling for bucks is direct financing of the mattress economy because it is impossible to buy something for these pieces of paper.
      The sanctions prohibit traps from selling anything more or less valuable to Russians.

      Can Papuans buy our planes for rubles?
      I also doubt the Papuans' ability to find rubles and the desire of our managers to sell planes for our money.

          If weapons and oil and gas were sold for dollars, then from the very beginning of the imposition of sanctions against our oil and defense industry nothing would be sold.

      Alas ... but only for palm oil, because the sale for "dollars" will be blocked by the US regulatory authorities ... which, alas, but "palm oil" - "nashfse". Yes But do not worry, Rospotrebnadzor has already said that the harm of palm oil is the propaganda of unscrupulous "experts", but in fact, palm oil is a useful product rich in amino acids and vitamins, very useful for both the "population" (with a salary like in Zimbabwe if we translate it into dollar terms), and for Russian "patriotically oriented entrepreneurs" who suffer greatly from covid and sanctions .... yes .... That is, palm oil is a very necessary product to "support the Russian economy afloat ".... yes. wink

        This is reminiscent of the distant 70s, when lard disappeared from store shelves, in the program "Health" then it was said that lard is harmful because of the cholesterol in the fat. Later, fat began to appear, and conversations began about how useful it is, and the cholesterol that is in the fat is not harmful, but even vice versa laughing By the way, I somehow accidentally hooked up a transmission on RenTV, so they generally said that people even lose weight from lard, like the body spends more kilo-calories to digest 100 grams of fat than there is in these 100 grams of fat, the guys and I calculated that if you eat 1 kg of fat, then a person will die from exhaustion of the body. laughing laughing laughing good

            Execution Boiled meat - the convict was put in a cage, in which he could hardly move and was fed only with BOILED meat - for 20-30 days and the convict "departed into another world" - before that his stomach swelled up, and a strong stench with an "acetone" smell appeared.
            This type of execution affected only the Chinese, Vietnamese, Japanese ... - only those who lived on a diet of boiled rice and could not digest a lot of meat. In the Chinese chronicles it is written that such an execution with "boiled meat" did not work against the hunu (northern nomads) - the hunu were accustomed to meat (horse meat and others ...).

        Palm oil has different fractions, it is used, its best varieties, in food, worse in perfumery and pharmaceuticals. The question is that ours will buy something cheaper and more angry and naturally not very useful, but extremely beneficial for "ours", but not for the people.

      The consumption of palm oil leads to obesity and the development of chronic diseases on a global scale, and its production causes irreparable damage to the environment. These are the main findings of the report published in the bulletin of the World Health Organization.
      The authors of the document compare the palm oil production and sale industry directly with the tobacco and alcohol industry, both in terms of the level of harm to health and the environment, and in the efforts of advertisers and lobbyists trying to hide the truth from consumers in pursuit of profit.

        For any person familiar with the law of conservation of energy, it is obvious that excess caloric intake over energy expenditure leads to obesity.

        As for the environment, sunflower oil requires 3 times more space for its production.

        Screaming about the dangers of palm oil is tantamount to screaming about the dangers of GMOs.

      Well, dollars are controlled by the United States so that there are understandable difficulties, but another thing is interesting, why not sell for .... gold? After all, Indonesia is not that much, produces little of it. However, previous sales of Russian military equipment were exactly "barter" - for the notorious "palm oil". To the surprised questions from the media: why so? -The answer was that palm oil, they say, unlike gold, is "a highly liquid product that is in high demand in the Russian market" .... Which allowed Platoshkin to then ironic about the fact that those, who sells Russian weapons for palm oil, then, this palm oil is already sold to Russian manufacturers, that is, he has a gesheft to resell it, already in our domestic, Russian market, it turns out that, again, Russian consumers beat back and compensate for possible losses of such "barter "deals .. This is a normal" business "... according to" Gazprom "... wink ...

          Yuan ... Unfortunately, many do not quite understand how such transactions generally occur. When selling something that falls under international regulation (weapons), the BANK IS SELECTED, WHICH WILL SUPPORT this transaction, which reserves its funds on the escrow account, that is, it acts as a creditor-guarantor of the entire transaction. These bank funds are then gradually extinguished by the parties to the transaction in the agreed manner, of course, with interest on the loan. If you sell for yuan, then the bank should get these yuan from where. And this is where the "most interesting" thing begins - the fact is that ALL large banks that own yuan in their accounts tacitly support the American sanctions in such transactions, since they do not want to fall under the restrictions of their activities, due to the subsequent support of such sales, sanctions from the United States .. So, what else try to find a bank that has a sufficient amount of yuan and agrees to accompany such a deal with Russia and is not afraid of the sanctions and restrictions that will surely follow from the United States .. Moreover, The People's Bank of China (an imitation of the yuan) also supports restrictions on the provision of the yuan for such transactions with Russia in order to avoid unnecessary and unpleasant explanations with the United States, with which China has the largest trade ... So, the yuan is not so simple either.

    Indonesians are familiar with the Su-27 and the SU-35, I don't remember exactly what modifications. They bought them 10-12 years ago, but then they refused due to lack of funds, and a couple of dozen F-16s were then on the way.

    Invalid comparison. It seems to me that the F-35 will never clash in a maneuverable battle in the SU-35, because it has a completely different concept - to see from afar, to be the first to launch a rocket at it and hit the road until something has worked out.
