Aircraft history:
Spoiler
With Indonesia already having operated 2 Su-30MK fighters they purchased back in 2003, and based on the positive experience they had with them the TNI-AU was looking to increase its Su-30 fleet. With the TNI-AU agreeing to purchase 3 Su-30MK2 fighters in 2007 to bolster their fleet. With the first deliveries taking place in 2008 having the fighters be shipped out in a Antonov cargo plane, and reassembly taking place in Indonesia and the third one being delivered in January 2009. They would be handed over to the TNI-AU later the same month with them being officially included in their arsenal. With an additional order in December 2011 for 6 more Su-30MK2s, they would be delivered batches of 2 through out the years with the final delivery taking place in September 2013. An additional contract of 6 extra MK2s were planned in 2013 but it would never end up being signed. With the TNI-AU having assigned their Su-30MK2 fleet to the 11th squadron based out of the sultan hasanuddin air base near Makassar serving along side their Su-27SKs and SKMs models.
