So first time use Su-34 in fighter role. Thne Russian fleet of fighter would grow 2x in Syria.

BTW Suddenly Turkish PM asks to open military comm channels to "avoid incidents" wonder why previously they could not use them?

Excellent my friend! So production has been standardized at 18 cars per year. With this rate the order of 124 units will have been completed in 3 years

"Concern Radio-electronic technology" (KRET) passed the Defense Ministry first batch of containers of electronic warfare (EW) incremental staff for the Su-34 bombers that make them special aircraft EW capable to protect the whole aviation group, told RIA Novosti on Friday the first deputy general director Igor KRET Nasenkov.

I wonder if those EW pods could be also used on Su-30SM and Su-35.

No reason not to.

Nice night picture of Su-34 over Syria.

Hello! I don't know if it is already treated, but, if possible, does the Su-34 have a real galley and a real toilet onboard?
Please, mind you: a real galley and toilet, in others words real small compartments behind the cockpit where the crew could go (and not the "sandbaciok" and the thermos that you can see around the web). Thanks for answer.
(Personally I think that there aren't those compartments behind the cockpit and on the back of the Su-34's pilots there are avionics).

Good news;

Su-34M effort is ongoing in several phases and first will be finished in mid 2016 and whole program done by 2020. It is planned that previously made Su-34's can be upgraded to Su-34M standard. Next production contract is expected to be for Su-34M. With the pace they are building them at now they will be done with the contract before 2020 though, so wonder if there will be some "vanilla" Su-34 contract to act as a stop gap for Su-34M first.

Maybe they will be slowing down deliveries to RuAF and the gap will be filled by for example the Algerian contract? If they slow down to 14 frames per year to RuAF they will stretch it to late 2019. The other 4 frames per year for example can come from the first Algerian contract. They are doing something similar for Su-35S.

well there had been also reports from military sources that number of Su-34s could reach 140 from 124 (that means 1 more year of production) or even 150-160

@George - check your PM's

Do you have more informations about that ?

Why so many specialized fighter-bombers are needed?
