Su-30 for Russian Air Force

New Su-30SM in the sky.

In the take-off magazine No. 18 Nov 2010, Yuri Bely, GM of Tikhomirov-NIIP , said that "Just a fortnight ago, in late September, there was the first successful launch of an upgraded air-to-air missile by a Su-27SM3 prototype, with the missile hitting its target. To extend the missile’s range, we had upgraded the antenna, transmitter and RF update channel of the Su-27’s organic radar".

Do they upgrade the existing N001-01A twist-cassergainian antenna or replace it by new one (new twist-cassergainian or even Pero PESA anteena). If they upgrade the exiting antenna so what components / how are they upgraded? Thank you.

Su-30SM + HD + full screen = nice.

You can see the IRST dome moving around once he gets right up on the "target".

Still no.

Could you host it on imgur or any other image hosting site please?

So now Su-30SM will be delivered in similar scheme to the Su-35? Notice the light blue in the back, not the dark grey we have seen so far.
They really need to make up their minds.

That isn't Su-30SM! Just the old Su-30MKK test bird, that flew "naked" for a really long time. Radar will be good old N-001, probably VEP.
Not only did it finally get a paintjob, but a damn sexy one at that.

I think those will be for regular squadrons in far east and with usual light blue colors they could easier mix with other Su-27SM/UB planes. in dark gray it is easier for enemy to distinguish them from other flankers.

New Su-30SM bort 57 at Lipetsk.

The air base of Eastern Military District (EMD) located in Transbaikal will take delivery of Su-30SM fighters in 2013, RIA Novosti reports with reference to the head of the EMD’s press-service, Lieutenant Colonel, Alexander Gordeev.

"The advanced “4++”-generation Su-30SM fighters will be delivered to the airbase located in Transbaikal by the end of this year. I am talking about full-scale arming of our aviation units", — Gordeev said.

According to him, most of the airbase’s pilots have already passed retraining for piloting the new jets in special training centers of the air forces. "In the near-term they will carry out acceptance procedure at the manufacturer’s site and then the pilots will ferry the jets to their home base", — Gordeev explained.

The multi-role Su-30SM fighter was derived from exported Su-30MKI jet in accordance with the requirements of Russian Ministry of Defense in terms of radar, radio communications systems, friend-or-foe identification system and more powerful weapons with upgraded homing system. Besides attaining combat tasks this fighter can be used for training the future pilots of fifth-generation fighters.

how many machines? 12?

According to internet info, 3 Su-30SM were delivered (or are flying to as we speak?) to Domna today. Any confirmation, video, pictures, anything ? Thanks.
