• 1996 - 1997: Indonesia wants to buy 12 x Su-30 and Mi-17 helicopters, instead of Lockheed F-16, but due to lack of money that plans was never realised. In 1998 KnAAPO even prepared a demonstrator for Indonesia called Su-27KI from Su-27SMK (later become well know from airshows, as Su-27SM / Su-27SMK / Su-27SKM with bort number 305).

• 2003 - 2005: two Su-27SK and two Su-30MK were bought in 2003. That aircrafts is pure "Chinese" variants (but with refueling probe), because Su-30MKI from Irkutsk was not available at that time. In 2005, after catastrophic tsunami, plans of aquiring a next 8-12 Sukhois were abandoned.

• 2005: Indonesian Sukhois are not fully operational, due to incompatiblility with Indonesian radio systems and have no armaments!
• 2006: Indonesian Su-27SK are powered by AL-31F engines produced by Moscow-based MMPP "Salut" and Su-30MK - AL31F by UMPO. Indonesia have unique chance to compare in-service performance of AL-31F engines and in 2006 choose Salut's products.
• December 2008 - January 2009: three Su-30MK2 were delivered from Komsomolsk-on-Amur to Hasanuddin air base, where are being assembled by Indonesian and Russian technicians. All three aircrafts quickly and easily passed air tests. Camouflage are similar to previous aircrafts, but shapes are slightly different. Three Su-27SKM were delivered in 2010 and replaced A-4 Skyhawks.
