Asian arms race: Russia sells its Su-35 ‘Flanker’ to China, Indonesia
ASIA’S military balance is about to be updended, with Russia agreeing to sell its most advanced Su-35 ‘Flanker’ combat jet to China and Indonesia.

Indonesia, long a regional power, has been seeking a replacement for its antique US F-5 Tiger II fighters. General Agus Supriatnahas told Indonesian media he has signed a deal to buy 12 of the new Russian air superiority fighters instead of US F-16 Fighting Falcons because “the aircraft have more modern technology”.

China has been seeking to secure the new fighter for several years. It needs its advanced capabilities to enforce control over the East and South China Seas.

Now, Russia’s United Aircraft Corp has announced a $US2 billion deal to hand over 24 of the extraordinarily manoeuvrable and technologically advanced aircraft will be signed by the end of this year.

ARSENAL: Putin’s weapon of war the West fears

It’s taken several years to get this far. In the past, Russia has been wary of Chinese approaches to buy small numbers of the Su-35 ‘Flanker’.

Previously China has bought handfuls of aircraft such as the Su-27, stripped them down and reverse-engineered their technology. The outcome has been large numbers of domestically produced ‘rip-offs’ such as the J-11D fighter.

Russia, feeling jilted, has been hesitating about handing over its new Su-35.

Until now.

Increasingly isolated over events in Ukraine, Crimea and Syria, Russia needs friends. And cash.

So it appears to have stepped back from its insistence that China must buy a minimum 48 of the multi-role combat jet.

It now appears ready to sellout its secrets for just 24.

PACKAGE DEAL


Russia, while dwarfed by China’s economic might, retains a significant technological edge.

The Su-35 comes packed with its latest advances: The Irbis-E passive electronically scanned radar array and its Saturn AL-117S supercruise-capable engines.

Both offer China a significant leapfrog in its ability to counter the US-built aircraft fielded by many military forces operating in Asia.

The radar has the potential to see-through the West’s stealth technology, negating the sole practical advantage of vulnerable aircraft such as the B-2 “Spirit” stealth bomber and F-35 “Lightning II” strike fighter.

The engine, combined with the Su-35’s size, give it the ability to roam over large distances and to linger over sensitive locations in order to enforce China’s claims. Most Western aircraft, such as the F/A-18 and F-35, can only do this with the support of vulnerable, slow tanker aircraft.

HYPOTHETICAL: Can Australia put up a fight?

Such a fighter would give China the clear edge over expanses such as the South and East China Seas. US aircraft carriers, for example, would have to move dangerously close to mainland China in order for their short-range aircraft to be effective.

It can also react quickly: It has a top speed of 2390km/h. The F/A-18 ‘Super Hornet’ can go 1915km/h. The F-35C reportedly pushes 1930km/h.

Backing all this up is the Su-35’s ability to sustain more than the force of nine gravities while manoeuvring, as well as being able to flick its nose in almost any direction. While the art of dogfighting may have had its day, this ability does offer the Su-35 another key advantage over its Western counterparts: It can theoretically dodge incoming missiles.

No, i guess SSV Will be launch first than PKR. Even u see PKR already painted and much progress than SSV. But as u know SSV for now not fitted with weapon system,combat management and any other system. It's just LPD ship not combat vessel which need more system, more radar system, complicated to build and need more time.

Btw, welcome to the party

Welcome aboard comrade!

SSV will be launched on December 2015 or January 2016. And it's progress will be continued on wet dock. Check this link for PT. PAL's naval shipbuilding facilities: PAL INDONESIA : : :

PT.PAL also have separete merchant shipbuilding facilities, including dry dock up to 50.000 DWT.

That VVIP Helicopter order is going to crush I guess, not a good PR from President if it goes through.....Will be very damaging politically (along with other issue-Freeport and others ). 2019 is almost there Pak Presiden.........

Yusuf Kalla has already shown his resentment over that deal.

Better to stick on PT DI products, the money is not small and we need our USD to stay in our own country as could as possible. Apa yg dikatakan harus sesuai dengan apa yang dilakukan......(janji-janji kampanye)
