Spare parts for our Sukhoi?

I'm aware, but it tickles me with that kind of thinking that exists when a single incident ended up with total boycott . I don't see for example the air force stop using and wanting F-16 just because a few of them had crashed years prior.
I would prefer Zu-23 from China, Poland, Bulgaria or even Iran (if they produce them) and then raise up multiple more Arhanud battallion especially to protect cities with >= 1 Mil pop. Indonesian cities are notoriously thinly defended from air attacks.
We could opt for OEM equipped modernized Zu-23 like the Plica system or even partner with local industry like Respati to modernize them.

Are Ma Deuce is enough to handle low flying UAV/Loitering munition??
And then it is better to delay the retirement of this gun
