48 Su-35s, 4 Su-30M2 and 12 Su-27SM. That along with the typical extra add-ons will put the contract at around 3 billion dollars. They dont expect to sign any new superjet contracts.

--------------------------------------------

Why Russia has to order these at MAKS?Its their own industry so they can place an order whenever they want.

Also Su-35 will be Russia`s frontline fighter with PAK-FA?They will replace all the Su-27,MiG-29,MiG-31?

Only PAK-FA will be able to replace MIG-31 ... no Su-27 can do that ... besides MIG-31 will go throw modernization and we will se of it for a long time from now ...

How about the Su-34?

"Las Malvinas fueron, son y serán Argentinas"

Almost all MiG-29 are not air-worthy.Half are totally useless because of corrosion issues.

MiG-31 and the majority of Su-27 have not been upgrated since Soviet times.

If VVS doesn`t start a massive program of upgrates and new purchases in 10 years there won`t be more
than 300-400 airworthy fighters.

Pretty cheap.



When I was young I used to pray for a bike, then I realized that God doesn't work that way, so I stole a bike and prayed for forgiveness.

So this will bring the number of Su-35's to 60 ?

That's getting to be a decent about of fighters. Why are they still ordering Su-27 and Su-30's ? Just to replace lost air frames ?
