INDUSTRY.co.id - Jakarta- The purchase of Sukhoi SU-35 fighter from Russia worth 1.14 billion US dollars gives the potential of export to Russia for Indonesia by 50 percent from the purchase or 570 million US dollars.

"The percentage in this procurement of SU-35 is 35 percent in the form of offset and 50 percent in the form of buy-back, thus Indonesia earns export value of 570 million US dollars from 1.14 billion US dollars of SU-35 procurement," said Minister Enggar at a press conference at the Ministry of Defense Jakarta, Tuesday (8/22/2017)
Enggar explained that the Indonesian Government buys SU-35 from Russia and Russia as the selling country is obliged to buy a number of Indonesian export commodities.

Since the Russian side is only able to provide offset and local content of 35 percent, then Indonesia reaffirms the purchase of SU-35 carried out through the purchase with a value of 50 percent of the contract value.
With the yield scheme, Indonesia gets export potential of 50 percent of the purchase value of SU-35.
The agreement was signed on August 10, 2017 during the implementation of the Trade Mission to Russia led by the Minister of Trade. The Russian and Indonesian governments agreed to appoint Rostec and PT Perusahaan Perdagangan Indonesia (PPI) as the technical implementers of the buyback.

"With this rate of return, Indonesia can export commodities that have been exported or have not been exported before," said Enggar.
