    UAC and the Defense Ministry intend to sign a new contract for the supply of Su-30SM

    The United Aircraft Corporation (UAC) plans to produce 12-14 Su-30SM fighters per year, a new contract for the delivery of these vehicles to the Aerospace Forces will be signed this year.

    the president of UAC Yury Slyusar said.

    "This year we are planning to sign a new contract that will ensure the loading of the Irkutsk aircraft plant in the next few years at the level of 12-14 cars per year." As the MS-21 develops, the plant will become civil, but now there is a demand for the Su-30 and we are interested in it production, including from the point of view of the economy of the enterprise ",

    "Several years" @ 12-14 "cars"/year mean 40-50 "cars" at least... probably 4 squadrons?

    Wait, I found this:

    https://russiamil.wordpress.com/2018/01/24/russian-air-force-procurement-plans-2/
    https://iz.ru/679043/ilia-kramnik/novye-krylia-vvs-rossii

    "...These will include 66 additional Su-30SM aircraft, with 16 of these to be delivered in 2018 based on an existing contract signed in 2012 and the other 50 by 2022 based on a new contract to be signed in the near future."

    So 200 Su-30? That starts looking serious Cool

    Hahaha I never know when you are being serious. MiG-35 is going to be ordered as well but by what people say it seems Russia is going to be cancelled altogether, for gods sake

    From the other hand i can see that in Russia many things seem to be discussed first in public space before going official. Is this a way to test public reaction? or way t talking between industry and MoD? Duno but true that nothing was officially cancelled.

    That sounds actually right to me... lots of testing waters / creating conditions for price negotiation would make sense. Otherwise they are retards lol1 lol1

    Whatever they say they are not retards. To me it is a cultural thing - I consider this a mix of all:
    a message to "partners" ( #$%^&!!!), public opinion polls, price negotiations' intro and perhaps also some "secret ingredient" :-)

    Well, providing PR ammo to the Russia-bashing camp is hardly a service to the Motherland. Is clumsiness... hardly justified unless price negotiations are very good indeed by the damage they do to the image of the country. Other than that I am not tasting the secret ingredient at all Very Happy

    let's agree to disagree. This can be also disinformation too. With this regard western ministry of truts gets confused. Image of Russia in western propaganda machine? even secret ingredient cannot help here much.

    You mention Sun Tzu, but you should mention the American duck... Donald Trump... how can the enemy know what you are doing when you don't know yourself...


    There are complaints about the Russian MIC, but look at all the options in Russia for new equipment... if it was part of NATO it could only choose the F-35...

    Yup, and every ruble spent goes into the local economy via state-owned enterprises where profits aren't the driving concern and all costs end up in the pay-packets of workers and maintaining demand for advanced research, manufacturing, electronics, etc etc...

    How could anyone want that when they could simply write cheques to Lockheed Martin and selflessly enrich its Elite Money owners?.. russia

    Another source also for the new contract

    The Russian Defense Ministry will acquire another 36 Su-30SM fighters

    According to Alexei Nikolsky's article "Until the end of the year, the Defense Ministry will purchase at least 36 Su-30SM fighters, which will become one of the largest contracts of the Defense Ministry in 2018" in the Vedomosti newspaper, at the end of 2018, the Russian Defense Ministry may purchase as part of a three-year contract of at least 36 Su-30SM multifunctional fighters for the Air and Space Forces and Aviation of the Navy produced by the Irkutsk Aircraft Plant (IAZ, which is a part of the Irkut Corporation) controlled by the United Aircraft Corporation (UAC). This was reported to "Vedomosti" interlocutor in the aircraft industry and confirmed by a man close to the Ministry of Defense. According to him, the contract value will be about 70 billion rubles. On Tuesday, in an interview with Vedomosti, UAC President Yury Slyusar said that the contract for fighter of this type planned for signing in 2018 "will ensure the loading of the IAZ in the coming years at the level of 12-14 cars per year". In addition, according to Slyusar, the Su-30 has good export prospects: "The aircraft are sold in a large number of countries and, we hope, will be sold more."

    Translators, especially google translator and other similar, are sometimes not the best. A better translation:

    "Before the year ends the Ministry of Defence would purchase at least 36 Su-30SM fighters"

    The verb tense can be translated as conditional, which indicates a speculation in the predicted amount
    The source of bmpd is the same as that mentioned above (Vedomosti), which is the original article that the other media refer to
    The truth in december
