Moscow and Jakarta are conducting very active talks on the delivery of Russian Su-35 fighter jets to the Asian nation, Deputy Director of Russia's state arms exporter Rosoboronexport Sergei Goreslavsky said Wednesday.

JAKARTA (Sputnik) — On Tuesday, media reported that Jakarta could buy up to 10 Russia-manufactured fighters.

"Bilateral talks on the delivery of Su-35 multirole fighters are being conducted very actively," Goreslavsky told RIA Novosti on the sidelines of the Indo Defence 2016 Expo and Forum.

The official added that the purchase of the jet fighters would allow Indonesia to secure the country's aerial borders for a long time.
