Indonesia has inked a billion-dollar deal to buy 11 Sukhoi Su-35 jets, an official said on Feb. 17.

The contract, signed by both countries’ representatives in Jakarta on Wednesday, is worth a total $1.14 billion, Indonesia defense ministry spokesman Totok Sugiharto said.

“Two units of Sukhoi jets will be delivered in August 2018,” he told AFP.

Another six jets would be delivered 18 months after the contract comes into effect, and the final three a further five months later, he said.

The deal comes after Indonesia said in August that it would seek to trade palm oil, coffee and tea for fighter jets, saying it wanted to capitalize on international sanctions on Moscow.

The U.S. have targeted Russia with sanctions for alleged meddling in the U.S. presidential election and its annexation of Crimea.

However, Indonesia’s trade minister said the sanctions could be good news for his country as Russia is forced to seek new markets to import from.

Indonesia signed a memorandum of understanding to exchange 11 Sukhoi fighters for key commodities early in August. It was not announced on Feb. 17 in what form payment would be made.

Conveying satisfaction on the military to military interactions, Smt Nirmala Sitharaman noted that the commencement of bilateral Naval and Air Force exercises as well as the regular conduct of Staff Talks between the three Services sets a strong foundation for bilateral defence cooperation between the Armed Forces of the two countries. In line with the elevation of relationship between the two countries to a Comprehensive Strategic Partnership, the two sides discussed areas of enhancing cooperation, including strengthening maritime and coastal security, through improved information sharing and conduct of specialised training courses. India welcomed Indonesia’s support for the proposal to partner in the Malacca Straits Patrol.

Potential areas of cooperation in the field of defence industries and defence R&D were also identified between the two countries. Both the Ministers agreed to set up Working Groups to progress the mutually agreed areas of bilateral defence engagements and desired that these Working Groups meet at the earliest opportunity in India.

Raksha Mantri Smt Nirmala Sitharaman met Coordinating Minister for Maritime Affairs Gen (Retd) Luhut Panjaitan and Coordinating Minister for Political, Legal and Security Affairs Gen (Retd) Wiranto.
