The American publication explained the purchase by Indonesia five times more expensive F-15 instead of Russian Su-35

215

The Indonesian Air Force preferred American F-15 fighters to Russian Su-35s, on February 11, Jakarta signed a contract for the purchase of 36 US-made heavy fighters. As Military Watch writes, the choice of the F-15 over the Su-35 is by no means due to the combat qualities of American fighters.

The $13,9 billion contract for 36 F-15 fighter jets puts Indonesia among the seven countries that have already purchased the fighter, apart from the US of course. The Indonesian Air Force has been operating both light and heavy fighters for a long time, with heavy Su-27s and Su-30s, supplemented by light F-16s, at the heart of its air fleet.



It would seem that it is more profitable for Jakarta to purchase Russian Su-35 fighters, which are a further development of the same Su-27 and Su-30, especially since the Russian Su-35 and the American F-15 in the modern configuration are almost equal in strength. According to the newspaper, the new version of the F-15EX has avionics, sensors and data links equal to or even superior to the Su-35. At the same time, the Russian fighter has more powerful engines with thrust vector control, more long-range weapons and triple radars capable of detecting even stealth fighters. In the event of a mid-air collision, the Russian Su-35 will have a slight advantage over the F-15EX.

The fact that the Indonesian Air Force has the technical capabilities to maintain the Su-35 also spoke in favor of the Russian fighter, since they operated the Su-27 and Su-30 for a long time. In addition, the difference in the cost of aircraft also speaks in favor of the Russian fighter. If the American F-15 will cost Indonesia $386 million, then the Russian F-78 will cost only $14 million and Jakarta could buy a much larger number of aircraft for almost $15 billion. Also, Russia did not limit the use of its fighters, while the United States set certain operating conditions for the F-XNUMX.

However, despite all the benefits from the deal with Russia for the purchase of the Su-35, Indonesia still chose the "five times more expensive" American F-15 fighter. And the reason for this was Washington's economic pressure on Jakarta.

(...) comparing the costs of acquiring two fighters is an important example (...) of the power the United States has in threatening economic sanctions to effectively force Indonesia to abandon the Su-35 in favor of a largely equivalent fighter at five times the price

      Indonesia did not choose anything, the Yankees imposed their planes on it with the threat of sanctions. Now they will have to find these 14 billion dollars, because the Yankees can sell a couple of used bolts to the Indonesians for palm oil.

          The point is that only the Indians could pull the Yankees when they bought the C400 from us. The rest are afraid for their money in the banks of the USA and Europe, they will easily take it away !! am That's all "fair competition" !!!

            Will they take it away from whom, to India? Can you give examples?

                    This is a matter of investment security.
                    Commercial banks paying high interest less reliable than US government bonds (the most reliable). Something like this.

                        It was not about gold, but about government bonds, which are highly liquid and which always pay.

                          So what kind of reliability and "profitability" lol deposits can we talk if, at the whim of these bankers, entire states and peoples are doomed to lack of money and poverty?

                          Banal stupid (!!!) STEALING. bully
                          Hundreds of billions of dollars stolen from RICH oil producing countries. wink . Such as Iran , Libya , Venezuela , Iraq . The money is just stolen.
                          Just stolen.
                          And the "most reliable in the world" (according to your version) bankers of the US Federal Reserve stole them.
                          They LOVE to steal.

                          Or maybe they give a profitable interest on the deposit?
                          With such risks and your own reputation? wink

                          But is it of your own free will?
                          Do they have nowhere to invest such colossal sums??
                          Here China and Japan have sterilized (approximately) 1,2 trillion there.
                          JAPAN!!! Which has its own external debt of several full GDP of its country !!
                          Or is it not entirely voluntary? wink
                          Well, think about it .. Have you forgotten how yet?
                          If you have the opportunity to invest in your own economy ... about 650 billion dollars. (like the Russian Federation), but instead you invest them in bonds of foreign states, leaving the economy on a starvation diet ... Moreover, sometimes such "investments" bring not even a MINOR profit, but direct and considerable losses - as was the case with the purchase of Chinese government bonds in yuan, and the yuan was taken and collapsed ... Oops !!
                          But they helped partners. fool
                          Smart??
                          Maybe it's better to invest in your own economy?
                          OF COURSE BETTER !
                          But you can't. Yes bully
                          After all, simply withdrawing these colossal funds to the credit market in the Russian Federation ... even at a preferential (!!) interest rate, say at 3% per annum, it will already be TWO+ times more profitable than getting it from US bonds.
                          And the business, having received such a free loan, will flourish and give such an increase in tax revenues that the Ministry of Finance will be lost - what to do with such money.
                          But it hasn't been done.
                          Not only in our country, but also in the vast majority of countries of the world. laughing

                          So there is a factor that makes countries and peoples go bankrupt and drive the population into poverty, in order to saturate the Fed's moneybox?

                          Here is Saddam - he decided to send the Fed and began to sell oil for the Euro ...
                          And? ...
                          And there is no Saddam.
                          No Iraq.
                          One of the richest and most developed countries in the region has lost all its wealth and statehood itself ... Now it is practically a Wild Field.
                          Libya?
                          Not this way ?
                          And the "Golden Denarius"?
                          Here for HIM - for an attempt to create a pan-African currency based on (secured) gold and trade in oil for a gold denarius or gold ... he was put on a stake.
                          And they laughed happily.
                          And Medvedev was then asked - on camera, "does he want the same?" , "Are you ready for such a result of attempts for independence" .
                          The dollar has long been backed by neither gold, nor oil, nor commodity coverage of its own (and not only) production ... There are so many dollars in the world that the GDP of the whole world is several times less than this mass of counterfeit bonds.
                          And now it is no longer possible to export inflation outside ...
                          Inflation has come to the USA, and ... WELL come!
                          And there will be a crash.
                          It is already possible the other day - Comrade Xi announced an emergency statement immediately after the Olympics. Having a global character.

Most likely on the night of February 15-16 (it is necessary by all means BEFORE the end of the Olympics) ... and they will blame (or at least try) for this, of course, Russia.

                        Russia is getting rid of US Treasury bills

                        Because Russia has spoiled relations with the United States (in pursuit of the return of territories and the restoration of geopolitical greatness), is under US sanctions and risks losing the ability to make transactions in $ (despite the fact that 60% of the transaction chain between the hydrocarbon supplier and the recipient is made in $) .
                        This transition will not affect $, because our share in world GDP is within 2%.
                        Why individuals do not buy US Treasury bills, but choose other investments of money.

                        Individuals prefer higher returns and higher risks, unlike governments or large investment funds.

                          Yes... however. Two crises, the first of which shook the whole world so much that the world crawled out of it and, which served as one of the causes of the Second World War, the second of 2008 also shook the whole World, and both have roots beyond the Ocean, and you have everything "yes, this can never happen ..." Although, "the trend is however" especially since the dollar is a candy wrapper and an inflated bubble. Sooner or later, it will explode and the "Great Depression" will seem like a flower before a future crisis, because, unlike America of that time, modern America has nothing of its own industry or production. Those scraps that there are miserable crumbs from the former greatness.

            Now Ankara pays for 15,5% of Russian goods in rubles (the figure for the second quarter of last year is 10,3%). At the same time, Russia pays in domestic currency for 36,2% of deliveries from Turkey (a year ago it was 26,6%).
            It is important that the share of the ruble is growing against the background of an increase in trade: according to statistics from the Federal Customs Service, in the first eight months of the year, the volume of mutual trade reached $17,6 billion, which is 2,3% more than a year earlier.

            Experts are sure that mutual settlements in dollars will soon decline sharply, because in mid-September the head of the Russian Ministry of Finance Anton Siluanov and his Turkish counterpart Berat Albayrak signed an intergovernmental agreement on the further integration of the banking systems of the two countries, including the accession of Turkish financial and credit organizations to the Russian analogue of SWIFT (the Financial Message Transmission System, SPFS developed by the Central Bank), as well as expanding the capabilities of Mir payment system cards in Turkey.

                  So after all, in order to do something in this area, for several years they strained all the financial forces of the country in order to pay off external debts and return financial sovereignty. And at the end of 2005, such an attempt was made. It ended in failure - two senior officials appointed by Putin to carry out financial reform were killed. And they got down to business very seriously ... But the owners of the money stopped this.
                  True, an agreement was concluded that the monetization of the Russian economy would be raised in 10 years from 4% to 40%.
                  And the economy of the Russian Federation began to grow rapidly and steadily.
                  10 years.
                  And then - stagnation.
                  For the rate of monetization of a normal economy-100% of GDP.
                  And the normal investment policy of DEVELOPMENT.
                  This is not. Moreover, since 2015, sanctions have been piled on the Russian Federation and banks with foreign capital have been banned from lending to the Russian economy.
                  And stagnation and recession began.
                  And under the conditions of the "Budget Rule" from the IMF and the World Bank, the Russian Federation does not have the right to invest even its own budget-earned funds, sterilizing them in various "reserve funds". Last year, as much as 120 billion dollars. sterilized!! In one year!!

                  Then the entire financial bloc itself will run away from the country.
                  After all, only one domonetization of the Russian economy from 40% to the desired 100% will lead to a MINIMUM doubling of GDP (rather tripling), and a healthy emission and credit policy of the State will ensure its sustainable growth at a pace that China will envy.
                  This has been known for a long time.
                  The people who were killed in 2005 knew this and worked in this direction.
                  But the Russian Federation did not pull such a thing alone.
                  But together with China, India, Iran, Turkey, Venezuela (the world's largest proven oil reserves) and a number of other countries, it will be quite capable.

          F-15 vs. Su-35: who will win? (The National Interest, USA)
          In terms of longer ranges, the F-15C and F-15E still have an advantage over the Su-35 due to their active phased array radars. The Raytheon APG-63 (v) 3 and APG-82 (v) 1 radars installed on both Eagles are still significantly superior in their capabilities to the Tikhomirovskaya radar station with a passive phased array Irbis-E, which are equipped with Su- 35. So far, the Russian fighter, indeed, has a slight advantage in the field of passive sensors, since it has a built-in infrared optical-location search and tracking system, however, F-15 aircraft will receive a very advanced search and tracking system in the near future, which will negate the advantage of the Russian " Flanker".

        Approximate translation. Acquisition cost. In fiscal year 2022, the Air Force will pay $77,9 million for each fully equipped and combat-ready F-35A purchased. On the other hand, each F-15EX will cost $87,7 million, but that's for an airshow. If the Air Force wants to use it in combat, then each aircraft would need a $12,2 million electronic countermeasures system, known as the Eagle Passive Active Warning Survivability System or EPAWSS, and a $900 targeting pod. Thus, the cost of a combat-ready F-000EX reaches $ 15 million, which is 102% more than that of the F-30A.
        MOSCOW, August 12 - RIA Novosti. The cost of the latest Russian combat aircraft such as the Su-34, Su-30 and Su-35 is more than one billion rubles, Commander-in-Chief of the Russian Air Force Colonel-General Viktor Bondarev said on Tuesday.

        Today, Russia sells combat aircraft for export worth from 30 to 50 million dollars, depending on their configuration.

        In armament, the main thing is the service staff. There may be interruptions with it, spare parts can be carried far away - obviously important units will not be given for the future, a new development - secret units - is being repaired from the manufacturer. Their logic is quite understandable. And consider the old Soviet ones - many countries make spare parts for them. It's easier to get them. And 15 - consider the standard - there are a lot of spare parts.

          In general, one must understand that so far only a contract for rafali has been concluded. As for f-15, this is a notification, which is not only not a contract in any case, it, as I understand it, has not yet passed the stage of congressional approval (although this is, of course, a formality) - such notifications also indicate the composition and stock price.

        Most likely it is a kind of diversification in order to guarantee partial combat capability in the event of some restrictive external factors. When you are completely dependent on one supplier, for some reason he may decide to put pressure on you, sanctions, embargoes, etc. Let's not forget that Indonesia traditionally has a variety of weapons, there are F-16s and what else is there !? Typically, the military tends to unification weapons, which is cheaper to support and provide. In the case of Indonesia, with its vast island territories, if part of the fleet and weapons in general are under restrictions, well, at least the other part will remain combat-ready!
        In addition, the United States occupy a weighty share in the external trade and economic relations of this country. Indonesia has a significant foreign trade surplus, part of it generated in trade with the US. The purchase of American aircraft reduces the bilateral imbalance, in principle, this is a normal practice in international trade relations. The purchase of weapons is an expensive business, it cannot be considered on its own and separately from the whole complex of trade and economic relations! hi

      At the same time, the Russian fighter has more powerful engines with thrust vector control, longer-range weapons and triple radarscapable of detecting even stealth fighters

      What kind of radar?
      The F-15EX has a radar with AFAR, on the Su-35 the still outdated Irbis with PFAR.
      This is one of the reasons for the choice, as well as the difference in price (avionics is expensive).

      The point is not only in sanctions, but also in the technical lag. The F-15EX and Rafale have AFAR radars, while the SU 35 does not. Stop trying to sell outdated technologies to customers, they won’t buy them, especially considering that they also have a package of sanctions attached to them.

The Americans here are mattress toppers, the British are small-shaven and arrogant Saxons... I wouldn't express myself like that, especially to be exposed like that to the public. Let's move on. Well, the fact that the Poles are psheks and the Romanians are mamalyzhniks ... well, to be honest, it’s not worth it either. The Bulgarians are a little better for you - at least you are little brothers, but at the same time lures. But at least you were not a member of the USSR. In the Tribaltic, the worst --- they are already sprats (this is probably worse than just Chukhons --- sabrefish really also exists). Although they were in the USSR, but traitors and contra unfinished. But Belarusians were often called Bulbash here. According to the national food product. This is already quite bad - they were in the USSR, and they are Russians in general !! How so?! Georgians, of course, they are rodents, although they were in the USSR, but they are not Russians either. But it's also bad to call names. Well, worse than all the Ukrainians now. We are Kh.o.kh.ly, and sharovarniks, and saloeds, and forelocks (a new-fangled word, but what about those who are bald? Also forelocks? Their Don Cossacks and others also with dashing forelocks). Well, and so on in the analogues of the names of Ukrainians .... And they especially like to excel in the name of Ukraine - Nezalezhnaya, 404, not a country, Ukraine, Ukraine ... By the way, they like to place the name Nezalezhnaya in the articles themselves, these are no longer just commentators, these are publicists-journalists-writers. Is it difficult to write Ukraine? It's called all over the world. And at the same time, the local commentators, who love to go so far in word creation on the Ukrainian theme, all these Nyrob, Zyablitsevs, Andrey Nikolaevichs, for some reason, always write the names of the countries Uruguay, Costa Rica with a capital letter, and next to it the name of the country Ukraine is also neatly always with a small one - Ukraine. What do they highlight? And they themselves do not quite understand clearly. Are these comments helpful? And who needs them? To strengthen the Russian Federation itself and its citizens? Unlikely. How do these commentators think? This is how they work here and are required to act this way? Or are they free in their creativity, but at the same time, Tamas, this mode of ignorance, sharply prevails in their consciousness?

          As for the "offensive remarks", it's true, it's worse than bitter radish. Only the chauvinism of users ("who will plant him") is hardly capable of influencing views on national defense and covering multiple differences in contracts. Money not only does not smell, but also has no emotions. laughing Can't you just remember offhand a couple of countries that massively hate, for example, the United States, but dream of acquiring something "US" by any means? wink And there is no way to compare the level of "promotion" of goods: where a Russian or an Israeli can only offer discounts, service and a "hat", the Yankees add a delay in "color revolutions", favorable reports on "human rights" and LGBT, and the safety of "secret " management accounts in banks abroad hi PS I do not urge to look up to them, on the contrary, but in some North American forums "such a feeling" that "1984" has come.

The USSR was not an ideal socialist state, but I do not remember that today's idiotic and unfortunately common word --- ELITE was used then. As if the "elite" smells differently, it smells good. Yes, there was no equality. One is tall, the other is short, one has hair, the other is bald... It's all clear. But there was no such wild inequality as it is today. And they were accustomed to the idea that everything in the state is yours too, including .... There was also an attempt in Indonesia to start building real socialism, but it was drowned in blood in 1965. Then uber lyudki, such as Pinochet, were enthusiastic about this and already accepted it into service (a concentration camp stadium, etc.). Otherwise, they would have a universal social pension for old age and other good reasons ... And Indonesia is a beautiful country. Remember the song

                    No, I wouldn't go. Although the experience of four years in the navy in the school and two in the army, combat duty. Six years in the barracks. If ordered, he would not refuse. I think that at that time I was professionally prepared. Six months in training and in battle is nothing. Sending 18 year olds to Afghanistan is a crime.
                    And in Syria, everything is not so clear. At the age of 50, if you have health, you can grab adrenaline in the DPR, sit in a trench for three months. The Europeans do just that, they come to the Bandera national battalions.

Or did they take the contract price and divide it by the number of aircraft? But it doesn’t work like that, the contract includes maintenance, equipment for maintenance and training of personnel and pilots, and weapons.

      Buying equipment from America, Indonesia is moving away from Soviet technical and military standards, towards Western, European-American ones.
      Thus, there is an integration in military interaction with the US allies in this region - Australia, the Philippines, Taiwan, Thailand, Sri Lanka, etc.
      First of all, these are communication standards, weapon calibers, standards for fuels and lubricants, logistics, logistics. That is, all that, ok ***, influences the result of possible conflicts in this corner of the globe.

      As we remember, the US has identified China as its strategic rival. And this "Asian lion", he has already outgrown the tiger, as we remember, adheres to Soviet military standards. So America is raking up possible allies in the confrontation. Well, it won't hurt to earn money.

      A normal, quite adequate strategic move for the United States. This is a policy of interests and here all means are good.

        aviation, by definition, is the elite of the armed forces of any country. Of course, the elites are different among the elites. So, our weapons, the Soviet one, have two main principles of application - simplicity and reliability. American - manufacturability and efficiency. As a conclusion, the manufacturability of weapons requires a fairly high level of education and training. You won’t be able to take the Javelin from the ground and hit it right away. A bunch of rules .. unlike RPGs, with a bar. So pilots are trained personnel, like technicians, and the principle of "fire and forget" in this case is much more important than simplicity

      In the upcoming confrontation, Malaysia and Indonesia are antagonistic countries, such as India and Pakistan, China and Japan, etc. With this step, it seems to me, Indonesia has finally decided on whose side it will be - on the side of the Anglo-Saxons. And, together with Japan, they will oppose China. To paraphrase the "classics": "The US will fight China to the last Indonesian." Those. it seems to me that the choice of Indonesia is the choice of a strategic partner for the next 30-40 years, and this choice is not always "friendly" with economic benefits or performance characteristics of aircraft.

Motives - from the desire to seem smarter than they are, to a conspiracy worldview that simplifies understanding of the world. Reality is often simpler - imagine yourself in a store, in a car dealership, etc. and your motive is to buy something from the same one according to TTX or TTD, which is more expensive. You are not there, we have a deal with aircraft, and there is an almost completely secret contract, with guarantees, with goodies, etc. A weapon is a business until it shoots at customers, a good business, and it is -1. benefit 2. this is primitive - money.

      Twice more expensive than the Su-30" or "five times more expensive than the Su-35"

      If you have a Su-30, a 2 times more expensive upgrade to a Su-35 without AFAR with a more economical engine is as interesting as a Superjet (to the Mexican cartel and the “Iranian guardians” of hydrocarbons).

      Similar to the “Chinese Guardians”, the Su-35 is interesting as an upgrade of its own, the oil cartels refused (Egypt, Algeria, Indonesia)

      Proposed Su-35 (this is not a Su-30 CM2 for the Army at the Upgrade price), not similar to the UAE Rafale F4 proposal

      The main question is why the Su-35 “Here’s the latest modification” but the more expensive versions of the Rafale or used ones. Eurofighter is preferable, excluding the US lobby

      The problem with finding stealth would be resolved by itself by concluding this contract

      F-15 vs. Su-35: who will win? (The National Interest, USA)
      In terms of longer ranges, the F-15C and F-15E still have an advantage over the Su-35 due to their active phased array radars. The Raytheon APG-63 (v) 3 and APG-82 (v) 1 radars installed on both Eagles are still significantly superior in their capabilities to the Tikhomirovskaya radar station with a passive phased array Irbis-E, which are equipped with Su- 35. So far, the Russian fighter, indeed, has a slight advantage in the field of passive sensors, since it has a built-in infrared optical-location search and tracking system, however, F-15 aircraft will receive a very advanced search and tracking system in the near future, which will negate the advantage of the Russian " Flanker".
