So the airforce is going to receive over 100 aircraft next year. And the understanding for 2018-2025 is that the airforce is going to take precedence. Meaning more emphasis on modernizing and expanding the airforce.

aircraft can mean drones etc. Anything that flys so don't assume Russia will suddenly get one hundred new figthers.
Always take statement like this with a grain of salt.

Sounds like over a hundred new aircraft including helicopters. Which is what we have seen for the past 6 years. To me just indicates present pace is maintained or even slowed a bit.

No, "aircraft" includes airplenes and helicoptres , and that is more of 100 every year
"Modernise" refers to get modern aircraft, no to refit old aircraft , that are already property of the airforce

Actually it does mean to upgrade,rebuild or modernize old equipment. As in the Ministry of Defense reporting that they had received 300 new and 600 modernized weapon system and military equipment for the first 6 months of this year. The T-72B3 tank is a modernized weapon, not a new weapon. A BTR-82A is a new weapon system while the BTR-82AM is a modernized weapon system.

Of course these reports date back to before the war had started. But the question still remains on whether Syria did eventually buy these formidable Russian combat aircraft, or not.
Anyone have any confirmation on this subject?

An interesting side to this drop was for the first time the Air Force practiced control of the operation strictly from the air utilizing an A-50 and a Il-22 for operational and aircraft control. The Il-76's practiced an "Afghan descent" when they landed afterwards (step descent with a short landing). Both skills imperative for any long range Airborne operations in foreign or hostile environments.
