    The military increased the order to 124 at that point.

    Only 32 million USD for 1 Su-34? This is really cheap. F-16 and Gripen are more expensive than Su-34.

    That's a bargain if true...

    Several new Su-34 handed over to RuAF Very Happy

    Its going to be interesting during next few years with Russia starting to receive more and more of new weaponry with each passing

    year. I can only imagine headlines in western newspaper going nuts when RuAN receives 3 new nuclear subs by the end of this year Very Happy

    The first Su-34 Russian Air Force handed over the state defense order for 2013


    By 2020, the Russian Air Force has received more than 90 vehicles. The first production models of the Su-34 were produced at the Novosibirsk aircraft plant in 2006.


    MOSCOW, May 6 - RIA Novosti. Company "Sukhoi" transferred to the Air Force (IAF), the first of the Russian state defense order in 2013 under serial frontline bomber Su-34, according to the press service of the company.

    "After a ceremony held today at the airport of Novosibirsk branch of it - NAZ them. Chkalov, the plane took off and went to the place of their deployment. Soon the Russian Air Force will be transferred to the party of several Su-34" - said in the message.

    The company's management said a high degree of readiness of aircraft, which is the guarantee of full and timely implementation of the state defense order in 2013. Signed with the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation in 2008 and 2010, large government contracts for the supply of Su-34 created the conditions for a stable loading of the plant in the long term, and determined its long-term development prospects.


    As reported, in 2020 the Russian Air Force has received more than 90 vehicles. The first production models of the Su-34 were produced at the Novosibirsk aircraft plant in 2006.

    Su-34 combat capabilities refers to the generation of aircraft "4 +". Regardless of the time of day and weather conditions it can effectively engage ground, sea and air targets in any geographical area with the use of the entire range of air weapons, including precision. The Su-34 can carry up to eight tons of different weapons, range - about four thousand kilometers and a maximum speed - 1,9 thousand kilometers per hour.

    I know this is late but:

    Last I heard, there was some troubles with its radar and navigational computers causing some issues and that they were working it out. As well, from what I gathered, NAPO is still under modernization and that the current modernization stage that was completed was mostly at decreasing time it requires to make specific materials thus lowering the costs. But they are still to undergo further tooling in the plant to help increase production rates and to also help deal with whatever issues they are facing with specific components.

    Contract for another 184 Friend or Foe transponders has been signed. I wonder does that mean that 184 + 32 = 216 Su-34 ??

    Russian Air Force to Receive 30 New Fighter-Bombers by 2015

    Su-34 Tactical Bomber: News - Page 10 184084414

    MOSCOW, October 12 (RIA Novosti) – The Sukhoi aircraft maker will deliver a total of 30 Su-34 Fullback strike aircraft to the Russian Air Force by the end of 2014, the Defense Ministry said.

    The Su-34s are manufactured by the Novosibirsk aircraft plant, part of the Sukhoi holding, located in Russia’s Siberia region.

    The current [2013] year plan on the delivery of 14 [Su-34] aircraft under the state defense order will be fulfilled, and the plant has promised to deliver another 16 fighter-bombers next year,” the ministry said in a statement Friday citing a report by the Novosibirsk plant.

    The Air Force is due to get a total of 124 Su-34s by 2020 under two contracts with the Sukhoi holding. According to official data, 29 series-production Su-34s have been delivered to the Russian military so far.

    A two-seat derivative of the Su-27 fighter, the Su-34 can carry a payload of up to eight tons of precision-guided weapons over 4,000 kilometers.

    The aircraft will eventually replace all of the ageing Su-24 Fencer strike aircraft in service with the Air Force and the Navy.

    Awesome news. Butapparently there are over 30 now, not 29. As well, it will be interesting to see if it will get any new radar sometime down the road. Would be cool to see an EW variant or one with a FLIR targeting pod.

    There was a lot of speculation about all variants being rather potent in the EW area... and the whole idea of FLIR pods is that you can fit them to existing aircraft... so they should all be compatible.

    First steps towards a EW Hellduck:
    http://www.airliners.net/photo/Russia---Air/Sukhoi-Su-34/1617464/L/

    What I am looking foreward to is comparative flight hour cost to the Su-24, and how many hours the ducks are getting. MiG-29SMT costs 40% cheaper per flight hour than legacy Fulcrum mostly due to realtime health monitoring replacing an expensive, set overhaul schedule. For new build Super Fulcrums the cost is 2-2.5 less according to MiG. Will be intersting where the Hellducks fit in.
    Just on the basis of new airframes the RuAf should be able to afford a handsome increase in flight hours.

    And that is not even allowing for the fact that instead of 400 odd Su-24s they will likely have maybe 130 Su-34s plus perhaps 30-40 Tu-22M3Ms, so they will have far better performance with the Backfires in terms of payload range, while in terms of sophistication the Su-34s will be packing modern weapons with much more punch... the fact that they are also actually buying modern weapons is another plus too.

    The big question is... is that a new EW variant or can all Su-34s carry that belly pod in addition to the wing tip pods?

    I would hope the latter because it would mean over time you could upgrade the pods and improve performance across the fleet instead of having 6-10 aircraft dedicated to the MR role... is Su-24MR, you can have any or all your aircraft performing recon and jamming missions.

    Would like to see a similar multirole capability with the Tu-22M3M so the Tu-22MRs can be retired and the new aircraft be fully multirole.

    Yes. Although I suspect we may see much more than 92 Su-34 by 2020 judging by production rate which will produce 16 Su-34 starting next year.
