Two Russia-made Sukhoi SU-27 jet-fighters arrived at the Iswahyudi air base in Madiun district in Indonesia's East Java province on Wednesday, the stated news agency Antara reported.

The two warplanes, also known as the AA-10 Alamo, as well as rockets, are equipped with six Vympel R-27 missiles.

The Indonesian government has agreed to buy four Sukhois and two Mi-35 helicopters in a controversial deal of 192.6 million US dollars signed by President Megawati Soekarnoputri during her visit to Moscow in April this year.

The two Mi-35 helicopters are expected to arrive soon.
