"中国将如何使用，以及把苏-35战机部署在哪里引人关注。

"两国 pChina and Russia] 去年还签订了向中国出售S-400防空导弹的合同。中国成为苏-35和S-400这两种先进俄罗斯武器的第一个外国买家。 与此同时，俄罗斯直升机集团已决定在中国的几个地区成立售后服务中心，将为中国采购的大批各种俄制直升飞机提供配件和维修服务。

"印尼将成为排在中国之后的苏-35战机的第二个外国买家。但与中国不同，俄罗斯将向印尼转让苏-35战机生产技术。此外，俄罗斯也在向马来西亚和印尼等国推销新式的柴电潜艇。

Note: The Reuters report doesnot mention transfer of technology (TOT). Some other (English-language) news media do, but are vague about what or whether even related to Su-35.  "Russia also took the opportunity to convince Indonesia to buy weaponry systems, including Sukhoi SU-35 fighter jets, helicopters and submarines, alongside transfer of technology to help improve Indonesia’s defense industry."
