Indonesian Defense Minister Prabowo Subianto has confirmed that the country has signed a contract for the purchase of the first 6 Rafales, followed by the remaining 36 Rafales.
A few years ago, it was reported that the Indonesian Air Force intended to buy Russian-made Su-35 fighter jets, but because of the threat of sanctions from the US government, not long ago, Indonesia announced that it would no longer negotiate with Russia to purchase Su-35 fighters, but intended to choose between "Rafale" and "Super Hornet", but did not expect that the Indonesian Air Force made a choice so quickly, in addition to the excellent performance of "Rafale", it is likely to be related to Indonesia's dissatisfaction with the US government.
