Yes, what to repair, let's sell you new ones :)

[Tor5]

It is logical! And not 2, but 4!

[Air Force captain]

some piece of tar .... but why did they break down if they were exploited

[Tanker55]

Presumably because of their small operation, they were simply sent for prophylaxis with modernization. There is a bit of work, it's good!

why did they break if they were properly exploited

You, as if, you don’t know, that equipment with improper storage can be covered even faster than operated. Moreover, the climate has.

Both fighters were delivered to Indonesia in 2003 city

Not everyone can stand 12 years in the climate of Indonesia.
EMNIP, this is the very first "dry", delivered under the first Indonesian contract.

[Wolverine]

It was necessary to fly regularly and would not break.

[pvv113]

It is possible that the overhaul life has gone

If so exploited then new ones may turn out to be cheaper.

both Su-27SKs were operated in the Indonesian Air Force very limitedly: the total flight time of one of them was 693 hours and the other was 348 hours. ” In recent years, aircraft have not been operated at all.

And why, if they fly on these once every six months?
They have not yet developed a resource. Apparently the Indonesians are preparing, they know something. At the front, they decided to conduct MOT.

[kodxnumx]

Maybe then they were sent to upgrade and not repair!

[Atrix]

Cool. And I didn’t think that a plane would fit into the Ruslan)))

In the Indonesian Air Force, Su-27SK - 2 units, Su-27SKM - 3 units, Su-30MK - 2 units, Su-30MK2 - 9 units. The Indonesian government approved the purchase of 12 of the latest Russian Su-35 fighters.

Not in the horse's food.

Well do not tell. Not so long ago, the Indonesians coolly spoiled the mood of the Australians. Kenguryatniks did not hang around before the exercises, but after that, they bit their tongues. And Ponte and ambition evaporated without a trace.

[red_october]

Give a link, did not hear, it is interesting)))
Indians on Su-30MKI have already developed a tradition to insert bourgeois fighters, but I have not heard about Indonesia))

The truth is more about Australia ...

"Ruslan" after all, what a colossus, he swallowed two dryings.

[Teberii]

They were not exploited, apparently they bought a toy, but after the events in Syria, they found a use for them.

It's just that these cars were delivered very first. And then Indonesia got more new Su-30s of various modifications.

[Penetrator]

What stupid Indonesians! All civilized people know that Russian-made fighters should be repaired in Poland! Bulgarians will not let you lie - it’s cheaper there. True, a positive result of such repairs is not guaranteed and insidious Russian similar machines are removed from the factory warranty. But this is not fatal, right?

Better in Ukraine. India and Croatia guarantee!

Trade-in EPT

[Stirbjorn]

I am waiting for comments, similarly, in topics about export deliveries - like, we have our aircraft not repaired! They forgot about them, the war on the nose and so on and so forth, the money for repairs will go to the pockets of the managers anyway!

[KBR109]

Repair contracts and, possibly, modernization are specified in supply contracts. Refuse - disrupt the contract and pay a penalty.

[dchegrinec]

This is the right decision of the countries of importers of our weapons. Not that the Bulgarians ...

[jaroff]

Hard to say. Little information. What is meant by the word "repair"? Classic repair after the overhaul life has expired? With so little bloom? Misses. Perhaps there were breakdowns that cannot be eliminated in the conditions of Indonesia, it is easier not to the manufacturer? Very likely. Again, the same breakdowns or different? As an option, a collision of two aircraft on the ground or in the air (this also happens, I have experience), which led to significant damage to the airframe. It is not excluded the option of modification for conversion to another version of the Su-27SMK type. Again, little information.

[Djclone]

Probably sent to restore airworthiness after prolonged storage and for modernization at the same time.

[Peacemaker]

Ruslan is an air python. I would not have believed if I hadn’t seen that he carries whole trains ... Monster!
