Russia offers RI new war machines
Nani Afrida, The Jakarta Post, Jakarta | National | Fri, January 16 2015
Russian ambassador M.Y. Galuzin has met with Indonesian Defense Minister Ryamizard Ryacudu to offer several new weaponry systems, including Sukhoi SU-35 jet fighters and Type 636 submarines.
“Russia expects to continue military-technique and defense partnerships with Indonesia, just like last year,” Defense Ministry spokesperson Col. Djundan told The Jakarta Post in Jakarta on Friday.
He declined to give further information on Indonesia’s response to the offers, saying the ministry was still working to find the best new weapon systems for Indonesia.
Djundan said Russia was ready to provide several important weapon systems, including the Type 636 submarine, the Su-35 Sukhoi jet fighters and MI-17 helicopters. The country was also ready to transfer the technology.
Currently, Indonesia has two submarines that were bought from Germany. Indonesia has bought two more new submarines from South Korea, but they are still under construction.
The country needs at least 12 submarines to secure the country’s large sea territory.
It was reported earlier that President Joko "Jokowi" Widodo and Russian President Vladimir Putin had met during the APEC meeting in 2014 and that both countries agreed to resume their partnership in defense and military technologies.
