"The contract for the Su-35 is frozen": Indonesia buys American F-15EX and French Rafale

The Indonesian Air Force will be replenished with F-15EX and Rafale fighters. This was stated by the chief of staff of the Indonesian Air Force, Marshal aviation Fajar Prasetio, reports KOMPAS.com.

Speaking at the annual meeting of the country's Air Force, Prasetio said that 2021 French Rafale fighters and eight American F-2024EXs will be purchased between 36 and 15. In addition, the Indonesian Air Force will replenish Lockheed Martin C-130J Super Hercules military transport aircraft and medium-altitude attack aircraft. Drones long flight time.



According to the Marshal, the first six American F-15EXs should arrive in the country by 2022.

It is noted that Jakarta has been negotiating the purchase of a batch of French fighters throughout the past year. Last fall, Air Force Chief of Staff Aviation Marshal Yuyu Sutisna announced the country's Air Force plans to purchase two F-16 squadrons of the latest modification, but the contract for these aircraft was never signed, but information about the F-15EX batch appeared.

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, but was never finalized despite numerous statements from Jakarta.

Last November, Indonesian Ambassador to the United States, Muhammad Lutfi, said Washington would not sell fifth-generation F-35 fighters to Indonesia until Jakarta purchases fourth-generation American fighters.

      It is more logical and much cheaper to replace the Su-27 / Su-30 with the Su-35. But Indonesia does not want to fall under sanctions and get involved with the West.
      Therefore, the Su-27/30 will be replaced by the F-15EX. Rafali can replace the first F-16s. If they also buy the F-35, then Indonesia will have a very impressive collection of small batches of Rafals, F-35s, F-15s, plus T-50s, and Hawk-200s.

            We all know. Or do you think Indonesia will be able to somehow save money and not pay for training pilots and technicians?

            So, the transition from the Su-27 to the F-15 will cost them a lot of money. And taking into account the diversity that they are planning a big big penny.

            And you Bulgarians give 16 billion dollars for 16 F-2s. essentially buying one squadron in total.

            Training of technicians and 14 pilots cost you like 8 F-16 aircraft ?! Normally they pinch you))

            Congratulations, for the same money it was possible to take 35 Su-20 pieces with training, missiles, spare parts and everything else, which are orders of magnitude more advantageous in terms of combat qualities than the F-16.

            But for this they need to have real independence, which Bulgaria has long lost, exchanging it for the opportunity to work for rich Europeans.

              That's right, I agree. The transition from one type of fighter to another, the production of another power is a huge expense.

              F15 and Rafale are more expensive than F35 .... a very strange decision. Probably they will buy one or the other.

              Congratulations, for the same money it was possible to take Su-35, 20 pieces with training,


              Nuuu ... we are a NATO member, you know yourself that it is impossible to buy your equipment. And we also need a single-engine fighter, not a heavy, twin-engine one.
              You have problems with maintenance, engine resources, etc., you are now just failing the repair of our Mig 29s and have written here more than once, they say the bastards from NATO, why are they repairing fighters and so on. So why do you want to sell equipment to NATO creeps?

              Last but not least, American contracts for our military-industrial complex are huge. They give us business, not you. So if they buy from us, why should they not want us to buy from them? In general, our trade with Shchaty is much larger than with the Russian Federation. You take about 0,8% of our export. So as a trading partner, you are not important to us.

              You used to pay tribute to the Turks, but now the USA.


              We used to buy from the USSR, but the USSR also bought from us. And now the EU is buying our goods, not you. However, we are part of the EU and must follow the rules of this club.

                And you were interested in why the United States buys Soviet-style weapons from you? Why is your military-industrial complex so alive now?

                Answer: to supply them to ISIS fighters and other terrorist organizations.

                You have a "good" business between Bulgarians and Americans, you can't say anything.

                The blood of Syrians fighting terrorists is on your conscience now.

                Weapons and ammunition produced in Bulgaria in 2015 were found in the countries of the militants in Syria.

                Even your Bulgarian journalist made a report about this. But your public didn't even pay attention to it.

                And in terms of economics, Russia offered you a bunch of profitable projects for everyone, and you simply refused it on the orders of the United States.

                Russia offered Bulgaria to build a nuclear power plant and began to do so, which would provide Bulgaria with inexpensive electricity !!! But during the construction process you abandoned the nuclear power plant, paid Russia a billion euros in penalties, and now your population receives huge bills for electricity that you buy at market prices in the EU.

                Well done, they made it worse for us and for ourselves, but for what?

                Then Russia proposed to Bulgaria a joint project for the construction of the South Stream gas pipeline, which would give Bulgaria access to cheap gas and the ability to earn billions of dollars annually on its transit to Europe !!!

                And here, at the construction stage, by order of the United States, you refused everything.

                At the same time, everything that you sell there to the EU and around the world would not be affected if you cooperated with Russia. But rather, on the contrary, your exports would increase, as your costs would begin to decrease and you would have an advantage over European countries.

                Won Ukraine, even without EU membership, exports food for 10 billion dollars today, and Russia sold 29,5 billion in 2020.

                And you, what does it export besides weapons and how much?

                Bulgaria has a permanent negative trade balance, you live in debt !!! And all this will end in default.

                And how much did the Bulgarian military-industrial complex earn from the supply of weapons through the United States to terrorists in Syria?

                In 2013 there were 300 million dollars, and by 2017 it was already 1,5 billion dollars a year, and then I did not find any information.

                It looks like the military exports of Bulgaria began to decrease significantly, in proportion to the decrease in the number of terrorists in Syria.

                And the fact that the repair of your MiG-29s was delayed by the MiG corporation is certainly not good, neither for you nor for us, but you were paid a forfeit under 1 million dollars for this, as you asked, and the planes are planned to be repaired this year.

                Russia does not refuse its obligations.

                And Bulgaria sold very cheaply, and not even for its own benefit, but for the benefit of the United States.

                Eh, brothers, all this is sad.

                  Ratmir ... well, you are not a small child. It is not the weapon that kills, but the one who pulls the trigger. We sell our weapons to the USA and Saudi Arabia, India and Egypt and so on. How they use it is a question for them. Your weapon kills as well as ours, so building a moralist and saying that Russian weapons are the most moral in the world is naive. Our end user certificates are for the United States and Saudis. The fact that they send it to theirs # @ $ # to their sons is theirs, not ours.

                  And in terms of economics, Russia offered you a bunch of profitable projects for everyone, and you simply refused it on the orders of the United States.


                  Yes, we are part of the EU and are not tied to either Russia or the United States. Although we are accused that we sympathize with Russia perfectly. But this is not so - we simply do not deal with you and do not meddle in your affairs, like the Poles, Balts and others. We are simply neutral and we do not care about you. Russia has nothing to offer us - in the EU we trade without duties and without borders. I fly on business to Berlin for 7 to 25 euros and can open a company there, do business, sell, buy, general rules, laws, etc. The common market is like in one country. And the assistance in the development of the EU country is enormous - only in 2021-2027 we will receive gratuitous assistance from Brussels in the amount of about 20 billion euros. These are schools, roads, businesses, hospitals, etc.

                  Bulgaria has a permanent negative trade balance, you live in debt !!!


                  Bulgaria has a permanent positive trade balance :))) The budget is positive even in 2020. In general, you live by myths. We have a positive trade balance even with Germany and even in the field of mechanical engineering.

                    Russia sells weapons, but it protects these weapons, and yours goes through the United States in full only to terrorists, and you know that very well. Normal countries in such cases block the supply of weapons, but your country no longer belongs to you, Bulgaria has long become the property of the United States in terms of political and economic decisions.

                    The United States and its allies have no need for Soviet machine guns, assault rifles, grenade launchers and ammunition for them, they have everything of their own, but to supply terrorists with them is the very thing, and for this they buy Soviet models from you.

                    That is, what I mean, all your arms exports are, firstly, supplying terrorists, and secondly, a temporary thing.

                    The more Syria cleans its territory of terrorists, the lower the Bulgarian military-industrial complex exports.

                    Russia has nothing to offer us - in the EU we trade without duties and without borders.


                    Seriously?)))

                    Russia offered you to build a nuclear power plant, which would give you its own electricity and reduce its imports from the EU, and for the population and business would make it cheaper !!!

                    Russia offered you a joint gas project South Stream, which would give you cheap gas yourself and make Bulgaria a gas transit country, for understanding Ukraine received from Russia $ 3 billion for gas transit ANNUALLY !!!

                    At the same time, Russia does not in any way limit your trade relations with other countries.

                    Here is what the CIA officers write -



                    That is, by implementing projects with Russia, you would not lose anything at all, but would acquire a nuclear power plant and a gas pipeline.

                    And now you are without a nuclear power plant and the gas pipeline does not go directly to you, but from your Turkish partners.

                    How much do you have for 1 cubic meter of gas and 1 kW of electricity ?!

                    Here is the data for Ryazan, such as about the whole country -



                    1 kW of electricity - 4,8 rubles (0,065 dollars)
                    1 cubic meter of gas - 7,1 rubles (0,096 dollars)
                    1 liter of 95 gasoline - 46 rubles (0,62 dollars).

                    You could have such rates.


                    I fly on business to Berlin for 7 to 25 euros and can open a company there, do business, sell, buy, general rules, laws, etc. The common market is like in one country.


                    This is true, only I am sure that there are much more European goods on the Bulgarian market than Bulgarian ones on the EU market. Therefore, your trade is unprofitable, you buy more than you sell in 2019 for $ 5 billion -



                    And the assistance in the development of the EU country is enormous - in 2021-2027 alone we will receive gratuitous assistance from Brussels in the amount of about 20 billion euros. These are schools, roads, businesses, hospitals, etc.


                    You paid for this help by buying more goods from the EU than by selling your own. these 20 billion are just 4 years of your country's trade with the EU.

                    German, French, Italian, Greek, Turkish goods capture your market and make money on you, and then give you "help" to firstly pull you into this system more strongly, and secondly, prevent the development of your production, in the third even more drive you into debt and make you even more submissive.

                    The Bulgarians have essentially occupied you, not with weapons, but with soft power.

                    All these stories that for $ 7 you can fly to Germany and open some kind of company there are fairy tales for not very smart people, because all this only looks attractive in theory, but in practice you will be put a bunch of barriers, turning you essentially just into slave to the EU.

                    Bulgaria has a permanent positive trade balance :))) The budget is positive even in 2020. In general, you live by myths. We have a positive trade balance even with Germany and even in the field of mechanical engineering.


                    Here is a resource on the trade balance of different countries for Bulgaria for more than one year, plus no, always imports are more than exports -

          They want to diversify their suppliers. And in this regard, they consider the eternal pair Rafal-Typhoon. Although, it is really difficult to understand them. Rafale is logical as a replacement for the first F-16s. But they want to keep them and bring them up to the block 70 version. Then it is completely unclear why they need such a zoo.

            I agree. F-15 in the presence of F-16 is a logical decision, there are already exactly the same engines. The T-50 also has many units from the United States. And then Rafale, they didn't even have the French in service, in this vein the Typhoon makes at least some sense. Like there were talks about buying from Austria.

          Let me guess. Is Putin to blame? ))

          The main thing is that new aircraft, ships and ground equipment are being adopted in Russia, and export is the tenth thing, a lot depends on politics, not the quality of weapons.

          Indonesia for the same money will not buy what Russia offers, but what they will master and what will come of it we will see.

          India also wanted for 100 Rafaley, but overstrained.

            export is the tenth case


            "Our foreign partners received products worth more than $ 85 billion for their Air Force. The volume of exports for the air defense and ground forces of our customers exceeded $ 30 billion for each of these types of armed forces, and for the Navy it amounted to more than $ 28 billion," - said Director General of Rosoboronexport, Deputy Chairman of the Union of Machine Builders of Russia Alexander Mikheev.

            This money was also spent on purchases, development, serial production. The challenge for the US and the West to win a triple prize:
            - Enter new markets or niches, displacing Russia / China.
            - Through the military-industrial complex, start to put the country on the right track, and then there is only one step to the vassal.
            - Prevent money from entering Russia / China. Well, like - Syria, Armenia, Belarus, let them buy on credit as they want. But money customers must be recaptured.

          Why write such nonsense ?!

          Do you have any idea how much profit corporations like Boeing, Lockhead Martin and other arms manufacturers make?

          There, the palaces of the top managers of these companies are such as you never dreamed of, with private planes, yachts and everything else !!!

          They are so rich that they are able to donate TENS AND HUNDREDS OF DOLLARS only for election campaigns, the presidential candidates they need !!!

          And you then decided to tell us about simple hard workers and an honest US government))).

          Not an offset.

      the first six American F-15EXs are expected to arrive in the country by 2022.

      How is it? How would it be that the first fighter of this type took off just the other day? Are they already shipping the next year to another country?

        These are different sides. The one that took off is a new board for the US Air Force and then for export.
        The one in the article is the new Qatari F-15. Also with chips and buns, but it is already on the assembly line and this year it will be transferred to Qatar.
