Russia is expected to deliver two Su-27SKM planes on 9 September with the other Su-27SKM plane will be delivered around mid-September.

The planes are being delivered ahead of schedule following a request by the Indonesian military authorities, so that the aircraft can participate on Indonesia’s Armed Forces Day on 5 October.

Indonesia had purchased two Su-27SK and two Su-30MK fighters in 2003 and has plans to equip one squadron with 16 Su fighters.
