    4 fuselage sections- other enterprises make much of the fuselage as well.

    Confirmation that they're planning to produce 18 of them this year.

    The test pilot mentions that it played a crucial role in the Georgian conflict and that 1 x Su-34 can do the work of 3 x Su-24's.

    An upgraded version is planned by 2020.

    Thanks Cyberspec.

    So, do we know if they plan to fit an AESA radar on Su-34M? This technology (in Russia) should be considerably more mature by then no?

    (On another note, 'the heck are they doing about Hellduck's self-defence suite, even Su-24M has a MAWS, the duck doesn't appear to have a MAWS or LWR, which imho should imperatively be fitted to this bird considering it's mission- and i'd say adding a pod based DIRCM starting from at least Su-34M!)

    Yes, I am far more concerned with this than with AESA.
    Same with Su-30SM.

    Visit to NAPO

    Not long ago, NVO’s Viktor Myasnikov visited and wrote about Kubinka’s 121st ARZ, where Russia’s Su-25s receive major repairs and overhauls. That story was a tad boring.

    He’s doing a series on the military aviation industry.

    This article on Su-34 production was more interesting and useful. Full of facts and figures.

    According to Myasnikov, the Su-34 was the first post-Soviet military aircraft formally accepted into the inventory by the government on 20 March 2014. The contract for what was initially the Su-27IB was signed in 1989.

    A pre-series airframe flew for the first time on 18 December 1993. It flew as the Su-32FN at the Paris Air Show in 1995.

    In 2003, the MOD decided to put the Su-34 into experimental use. The year 2006 brought a contract for five Su-34 to be delivered in 2007-2009.

    However, Myasnikov notes that the Novosibirsk Aviation Production Association (NAPO) named for V. P. Chkalov was in a pathetic state at the time:

    “The state hadn’t ordered new aircraft, assembly shops were empty. The company survived on account of consumer goods, making instruments, steel doors, etc. Suffice it to say that now in the final assembly shop of 250 workers only 5 are veterans still having Soviet experience.”

    Literally on its knees, he says, the factory re-trained workers and assembled one aircraft per year.

    Then, in 2008, came the contract for 32 Su-34s by 2013, and a follow-on for 92 by 2020. The plan for this year is 16 aircraft, possibly 2 more.

    The Su-34, Myasnikov says, has 57,000 parts joined by tens of thousands of rivets and bolts. About 200 other enterprises contribute products and components worth 75 percent of the aircraft’s cost.

    Per unit, the Su-34′s price in the initial contract was 1.3 billion rubles (roughly $37 million). The price in the second contract is only 1.05 billion ($30 million).

    Factory director Sergey Smirnov added that production of one aircraft initially took 460,000 labor hours; now only 170,000. Call that about 230 manyears down to 85 manyears per plane.

    Myasnikov writes that NAPO now uses more modern machinery, much of it imported, to reduce the number of work shifts required to make certain parts. The two-man cockpit is made of 17-mm titanium sheets weighing only 380 kg. The final assembly shop works round-the-clock in three shifts.

    The average age of workers is 35, and gets younger by a year with each passing year. The parents (and even grandparents) of many also worked at NAPO.

    In all, NAPO has 6,700 employees. Many work on components for Sukhoy’s civilian Superjet 100. Their average age is younger than 35.


    The typical wage at NAPO runs 32,000-34,000 rubles per month. Some 800 workers are waiting for apartments, and the factory helps with securing mortgages for them.

    NAPO expects to begin overhauling the first Su-34s in 5-6 years, and wants to put out 20 new ones each year.

    Myasnikov sums up NAPO’s success story this way:

    “Now it’s hard for even old workers to imagine that just several years ago the factory was in a pathetic state, and made consumer good instead of modern combat aircraft. Thanks to people who knew how to preserve Russia’s aviation industry, who, despite difficulties, underfinancing, wage debts, didn’t allow the production and technological base to be destroyed. Once the state undertook to reestablish the combat potential of the Armed Forces, and found money for the long-term rearmament program, aircraft plants revived and began working at full power. The creation of a full-scale integrated structure — the ‘United Aircraft Corporation’ — also helped in this.”

    Russian air forces take delivery of three Su-34 bombers

    Novosibirsk Aviation Plant named after V.P. Chkalov (NAZ, part of Sukhoi Holding Company) delivered three Su-34 bombers to Russian air forces on July 18th 2014, ARMS-TASS reports with reference to a source close to the military-industrial sector.

    "Today NAZ delivered three Su-34 bombers to the air forces, - the source noted. – One jet has already departed to its home base and the rest two ones will depart soon". This is the second batch of Su-34 bombers delivered to the air forces this year, the source added.

    The contract for delivery of 32 Su-34 aircraft to Russian Ministry of Defense was signed in 2008. In 2012 NAZ and the ministry signed the second contract for delivery of 92 bombers of the type. In 2014 NAZ must manufacture 18 Su-34 jets.

    Novosibirsk Aviation Plant named after V.P. Chkalov was established in 1931. During the Great Patriotic War the plant manufactured over 15,000 Yak-7 and Yak-9 fighters. After the war the enterprise manufactured combat aircraft. At present the plant’s flagship product is Su-34 jets. Moreover, NAZ assembles a number of components for Sukhoi Superjet 100. The enterprise employs over 6,700 workers.

    Su-34 bomber was developed by Sukhoi Design Bureau. It is designed for destroying ground, surface and air targets under any weather and lighting conditions using aerial bombs and missiles. It is also able to carry different types of radar equipment, including special EW suites. In future Su-34 bombers will replace the whole Su-24 fleet. A total of 150-200 jets of the type will be delivered to the air forces.

    Russian fighter-bombers fly along northern sea route at first time

    MOSCOW, August 06./ITAR-TASS/. A squadron of fighter-bombers Sukhoi Su-34 of the Western Military District has flown along the Northern Sea Route on Wednesday for the first time, chief press officer of the military district Colonel Oleg Kochetkov told ITAR-TASS.

    “Flights were made over the area of the Barents Sea and the Kara Sea. Each crew has made two aerial refuellings, flying more than five thousand kilometres,” Kochetkov said.

    He noted that crews had made refuelling in a pair simultaneously. “The performance of the hardest flight training operation - aerial refuelling - was complicated with strong gusty winds traditional for this season in high latitudes. All crews coped successfully with all tasks set at this stage of war games,” the military district’s spokesman said.

    Russia launches large-scale combat air drills with over 100 aircraft
    Earlier on Wednesday, Russian Air Force Chief Commander Lieutenant General Viktor Bondarev named drills in the Arctic as the top goal of large-scale military exercises of Air Force and Air Defense Forces in Russia’s southern Astrakhan region. He added that military exercises should drill a long-range interception by fighters, meanwhile, warplanes will act up to the 82nd parallel north.
