August 25, 2007: Indonesia is buying six more jet fighters from Russia (three Su-30s and three Su-27s) for $50 million each. Indonesia already has four (two Su-30s and two Su-27s) of these aircraft. Western countries, especially the United States, won't sell warplanes to Indonesia because of human rights issues.
