Sukhoi manufacture sophisticated aircraft for combat and ‘counter-insurgency’ purposes. The company is owned by the state-run United Aircraft Corporation, which is in turn controlled by Rostec.
In 2002 the Indonesian Air Force TNI AU received two Sukhoi Su-27s and two Sukhoi Su-30s from Russia. In 2006, TNI AU ordered several more Sukhoi Su-27SKM and Su-30MK2 aircraft to make up a squadron.
In 2017 a barter deal was negotiated to supply TNI-AU with 11 further Sukhoi Su-35 Flanker-E combat aircraft, worth $1.14 billion, to be paid for in part with palm oil. The deal was arranged by Russian arms dealers Rostec with Indonesian trading company PT Perusahaan Perdagangan Indonesia (PPI). Indonesia arranged to pay 50 percent of the acquisition cost ($570 million) by exporting a variety of products to Russia, primarily palm oil and coffee. Indonesian trade minister Enggar Lukita said of the deal that he hoped to persuade Russia to cease importing palm oil from any other country. In return, he said “I will persuade our defence minister not to look at defence equipment from other countries”.
