Indonesia has the Su-30 but I believe there are only two (2) plus two (2) Su-27s that are currently operational . Hardly a threat to the RAAF!Another half dozen are planned to be purchased. Malaysia will have 18 Su-30 when their order is completed . The RAAF will have 24 of the latest Super Hornets and 71 older but heavily upgraded Hornets and present plans call for 100 F-35As. The RAAF aircraft are well maintained and armed (as are the Malaysian but perhaps not the Indonesian aircraft). The RAAF fighters will operate with support from good ground based radar report and control systems and it has AWACs on order.
I note that the USN doesn't seem concerned at the prospect of its Super Hornets tangling with the Su-30!![]()
