Translation isnt so accurate but we have a view in Tupolev aircrafts also

Excellent work friend!

Or on 126 new aircrafts, just only a small parts are SU-34/SU-35 ?

Russian Air Force Receives New Su-34 Bombers, Su-35S Fighters As Military Expansion Continues

The Russian Air Force received new orders of upgraded Su-34 bombers and Su-35S fighters on Thursday, state-owned manufacturer Sukhoi confirmed Thursday. The aircraft shipments were a direct result of Russian President Vladimir Putin’s plan to overhaul the Russian military by the end of the decade.

Sukhoi’s plant in the central Russian city Novosibirsk will continue to produce Su-34 bombers through 2020, Sukhoi told Russian news agency Tass. Su-35S fighter production will proceed over the same time period, though it’s unclear how many of each aircraft ultimately will be built. The Russian Air Force reportedly will receive a total of 126 new aircraft in 2015.

“The airplanes were manufactured under the state orders on the delivery of combat aviation equipment to the Russian Air Force envisaged by the State Armament Program for 2011-2020. Their implementation will make it possible to deeply modernize the country’s armed forces and guarantee the Sukhoi company and its subcontracting enterprises the workload for the long-term perspective,” the manufacturer said in a statement to Tass.



Upgrades were made to the Su-34’s top speed and flight range. Russia also claimed the SU-35S fighter was “heavily upgraded” with “better flight characteristics,” but did not provide specifics.

Russia’s armed forces have undergone widespread expansion and conducted military exercises around the world in recent months, even as Western leaders have expressed concern about Moscow’s increased activity in Eastern Europe. Both the European Union and the United States enacted economic sanctions against Russia for its purported support of pro-Russian separatists in the eastern Ukraine conflict.

Despite the international criticism, Putin vowed last March to dedicate more than 21 trillion rubles, or $340 billion, to the modernization of the country’s military, Reuters reported. By early July, that number had increased to approximately $600 billion, Russia’s Deputy Defense Minister Yuri Borisov said. The expansion of Russia’s air force and the development of the next-generation Armata T-14 tank were considered major aspects of Putin’s program.

no way of course 124 su-34/su-35 in a year. 124 total aircrafts including transports and trainers. For this year the number for Su-34 is 18 units and for Su-35S 14 units

so we have more or less 90 Su-27SM and SM3, a 60 Su-30SM order, a 48 and a possible  similar order of Su-35 (96) and 16 (or 24? idk) Su-30M2.


That gives us more or less 262 Modern Flankers (replacing all legacy flankers) It is indeed a great number in the context of the Armed forces modernization

Eventually Pak Fa will come.

110 Mig-31BM is also great too

Around 120 Su-25sm to 2020 (sm3 standard)  its also excellent

the contract for 124 Su-34 also replaces Su-24m and mr

60 Gefest Su-24m2

The weak part is the light fighter force

34+16 Mig-29 SMT

30 Mig-35

(it is needed at least an additional 100 Mig-35 order)


RuNavy

12 Su-30SM

24 Mig-29K  (i hope they will order some more)

12 (?) Su-33 (with an upgrade to carry Kh-25MP and Kh-31A/P)


Things look great, i hope they will keep up the pace.

In this way RuAF becomes and extremely powerful multirole air force. Lets hope the weapons procurement for this aircraft are just as well.

I dont know how many legacy frames they are going to keep in service after 2020

What are the year to date deliveries of Su 30SM, Su 35, Su 34, Mig 29, Mi 28, and Ka 52 ?

4x Su-30SM
6x Su-34
0x MiG-29SMT

2 x Su-35S

But it's hard to keep track this year.

In the third picture on the website, why is the surface so uneven?

The results of the activities of the United Aircraft Corporation in 2014 and prospects

The official website of UAC published annual report for 2014 in the form of presentations to investors, different from the official published version, and contains interesting data on the results of 2014 and prospects for the next few years (an overview of the standard report earlier in the LJ, it does have some Error on deliveries of passenger aircraft and any special aircraft).


The results of 2014.

   In 2014, the Corporation has shipped 159 aircraft, which is 48 units, or 43% more than the year before. The largest increase was registered in the supply of military aircraft in the direction where the delivery with respect to the level of 2013 increased by 57%, or 45 aircraft.
   Starting from 2013, the main share of military supplies to the domestic market as a priority of the Corporation is to update the fleet of the Armed Forces.

• In 2014, in the interests of the Russian Defense Ministry delivered 102 aircraft of typesSu-30, Su-34, Su-35, MiG-29K/KUB fighters and Yak-130. Another 18 aircraft were delivered to the Corporation during the period under the state contract with the Russian Ministry of Defense for repair and modernization of the MiG-31BM.
  

• As part of the export contracts for military equipment in 2014 it was delivered  a total of 22 aircrafts of the Su-30 and MiG-29K / KUB.
  

• In civil direction shipments reached 33 units, including 24 aircraft for domestic customers and nine aircraft sent for export. The largest share of deliveries to civil aviation came in from SSJ 100: The Corporation has shipped 27 aircraft of this type, including 12 aircraft for the airline "Aeroflot", 4 aircraft for "Avia Gazprom", two aircraft passed the program re-marketing, the airline Red Wings, as well as 9 aircraft for the Mexican airline Interjet, which is the largest foreign operator of this type of aircraft. Also, in the direction of civil aviation government customers in the reporting year it was transferred to 6 aircraft An-148.
  

• In addition, during the year the Corporation has put two aircraft for special purposes: Tu-214ON for the Russian Defense Ministry to implement observation flights under the contract "Open Skies", as well as Tu-214SR for the Office of the President of the Russian Federation.
  

• In the segment of air transport supplies it was not, although officially reported the delivery of the first production of IL-76MD-90A on Beriev.

Contracting

• 04/15/2014 - signed a contract for the delivery of the Russian Air Force 16 medium multi-role fighters MiG-29 SMT until the end of 2016.

Future projects

• 10/23/2014 JSC "Tupolev" was completed stage of draft technical design for the development work of "Tu-160M."
  

• In 2014, we developed and approved production schedules "Aviastar-SP" for the implementation of the contract for the delivery of the first batch of aircraft Il-76MD-90A. There were made two Il-76MD-90A, designed for use as platforms of special aviation aircraft.
  

• In 2014, the continued development of design documentation for the establishment of long-term tanker aircraft Ilyushin-78M-90A. At present the production of the prototype of the aircraft.
  

• Creation of the PAK-FA for the Russian Defense Ministry is going according to schedule. Completed first and started the second stage of the program of preliminary tests.
  

• The project to create a family of promising transport aircraft (PTS), including super-heavy military transport aircraft is under initiation. It is assumed that the first delivery will be made in 2025. The maximum capacity of this type of aircraft will be in different versions 80t, 160t and 240 t.

In my view, and talking about combat warfare or at least warfare for contested areas, these would be the needs of the Russian Air Forces:

1.- Transport for contested areas: The development of the Il-PAK-TA seems key to me since subsonic air transport is not able to operate safely enough in contested areas.

2.- Trainers: While the Yak-130 is a new model, and still is in production, I think it would be positive for the Russian Air Force to have a new trainer model supersonic. China has developed supersonic trainers and I see it interesting.

3.- Helicopters for contested areas: The development of unmanned helicopters for every low sped role in contested areas seems a big need to me. I would not develop new manned helicopters to work in contested areas.

4.- Strategic Bombers: This area has some all the most aged aerial warfare except the Be-12 (Il-38, Tu-95/142 and Tu-22) and it is necessary a replacement for the long term, since the concept has a prospect for the future with the new ammunition (missiles) that requires not to fly over the target to hit it. The development of the Tu-PAK-DA seems key for a replacement of them in the long term.

Of course, is needed to continue the production of the current warfare of all types as needed.
And also it would be interesting some change between the active and the reserve warfare.

It is the future to me. It will take years, but to reach these goals would give an important technological advantage to the first who does it.

Note: Not considered potential needs in military air transport for safe areas. It can be solved more likely with military versions of civilian models.

Hi

So, since a few weeks i've been more and more interested in planes (i'm rather an AFV man)... I think it might be linked to my interest of the russian air campain in syria...

I'd like someone who could sum it up clearly for me about the various modern airplanes in service and why so many variants are planed/purchased...

I've got in mind:

SU-27SM/SM3
SU-35S
SU-30SM
SU-30M2
MiG-29SMT
MiG-35

Ok, so, why russian MOD chose to produce 2 brand new SU variants in parallel? the 30SM and 35S are seemingly both multirole fighters and kind of fit the same roles... I think the SU-35S is kind of more advanced but if so, why continue the purchase of SU-30?

I understand that the SU-27SM modernisation and MiG-29SMT modernisation are badly needed to maintain the current fleet somewhat up to the task.

Again, if mod is fond of those 2 modern 35S and 30SM Sukhoi products, why are they also so much interested in the MiG-35? what will this plane bring that ain't already there? If you look most armies, they chose 1 multirole fighter and are done with it, if needed they develop the future generation, but they aren't fielding 3 comparable aircrafts at the very same time...

Also there is the SU-34, which is very different from the "simple" multirole SU-30SM but yet could perform most of its missions while also being a bomber. Why the need for those 2 twoseaters, why not just the SU-34?

My questions don't include the T-50 because this plane is obviously going to be the next gen, and, i don't know enough about it and i'm not really interested in it for now. I also don't want to include the MiG-31BM in this debate because i'm aware this plane is not comparable and fits a particular role.

Last questions, i know it's rather subjective and biased, but what do you think about the top russian multirole-fighter planes (let's say MiG-35, SU-35S, SU-30SM) compared to the "top" western equivalent planes? Of course if i go on F-16.net the kind of answers i'll find there will give me cancer, but, if some of you are really knowledgeable on the question, please enlighten me.

Last, i'd like your opinion on which is the best choice, best airplane currently for russia, is it the SU-30SM for its versatility, the SU-35S with an edge for AA warfare?

What is the real capability of the MiG-31 (as a whole, and maybe BM specifically) against all possible threats?

F-15E and SU-34 are very similar in concept yet very different, what do you think is the best overall of the two? (maybe use the SU-30SM instead)

SU-27SM3 = 12
SU-35S = 36
SU-30SM = 42
SU-30M2 = 16
MiG-29SMT = 34
MiG-35 = 0

In current times, the option of a cheaper fighter is far better for Russia due to economic issues. In this particular case, either more Su-30SM's (due to being cheaper from lots of production, options for even further upgrades in the future (with partnering countries as well like India and Algeria as examples) and a very effective aircraft) or MiG-35's if they end up cheaper than the others.

Franco, do you have the numbers of the VVS for how many planes they have (fighters, bombers, interceptors, airsuperiority, etc) and models?  I would appreciate it if you have such info on hand.
